You know what pisses me off, adults pretending teenager don’t go through anything real.
So I’m a singer and i wanted to Sing the song funeral by Phoebe Bridgers and the song is about her singing at a funeral for a kid who’s around her age, and there is a line where she talks about suicide, my voice teacher told me it wasn’t a high school song. Who the fuck does she think is going through this. It’s absolute bullshit, pretending we are just kids who have no real thoughts is ignorant and dangerous. Opening up the discussion about real shit like suicide will only help teenagers come forward instead of keeping it in, it will show them that a lot of people feel like that. Saying its not a teenager song just because it makes you uncomfortable is fucked up. So i ended up not singing the song but that really pushed me the wrong way, my favorite thing about music is, it’s written for those who relate and it doesn’t matter who you are or what your age is, the song is for you regardless, taking that away from someone will just isolate them further. Music is a coping mechanism and an easier way to tell people how you feel, you can’t tell someone what they do and don’t relate to.
Peace
