Is the ‘double v’ in ALVVAYS more authentic than the ‘u’ replacement in CHVRCHES CHVCKVN?
In the first post abt auth, I wondered if ALVVAYS was truly auth, or if it was just scalable indie. It doesn’t matter 2 me. I’m not here 2 talk about auth. I’m not here 2 marginalize women. I just want to celebrate them. Why do ppl think I don’t appreciate the beauty in women? I just want 2 discuss the impact of sexual perceptions on the marketing of females in the art world, ‘opening up a conversation’ abt how the media presents women 2 make their outlets more scalable.
Thank u, Molly Rankin [via ALVVAYS]
You are the ultimate post-normcore-wave Hottie McHotHot
Your soul that u exposed [via your self-titled debut album]
makes me feel again
Yes, you are physically beautiful
Even though every1 is apparently beautiful ‘in their own way’
so technically ‘no1 is beautiful’ because beauty is just a commoditized construct
But in terms of ‘appreciating the work of an artist’ contributing a voice 2 the world
I just want u to know that I appreciate yours
in a respectful way that has nothing to do with gender or sexuality
I just really vibe 2 ur vibe
There is nothing about you that I ever want to marginalize.
U don’t play in2 the marketable-female-indie machine
Where u give ‘fashion tips’ like ‘a girlie girl’
Even though that is still feminist bc women are allowed 2 be beautiful
But they are also allowed to play music, raise children, and wear burlap sacks.
Everything is feminism.
I am celebrating u 4 everything that u r
The beauty in what u aren’t
In everything that makes u U
Thanks 4 being u.
In the hit love song by Alvvays “Party Police,” Rankin sings, “You don’t have 2 leave // You can just stay here with me… Forget about the party police / We can find comfort in debauchery.” U sorta just wish u could find some1 to ‘get effed up with’ in an unchill town where no1 is a true auth, so all u can do is ‘party’ [via drugs/alcohol/auth vibes]. In the next verse, she offers 2 find comfort in biology, which seems pretty chill [via sex=biology]. However, I think she is referring to losing a close, genuine, emotional and intimate relationship with some1. Feel kinda bad [via emotional]
Can we write our names on the overpass 2gether?
Do u hope it (we) last(s)?
4evr?
I guess it might be more auth 2 be in2 Molly Rankin [pre-ALVVAYS]
where u can still hear the Canadian folk influences
mixed with fuzzy buzzy female garage beach consumer indie pop aesthetic.
(with a lil bit of acoustic guitar)
Is it weird that I have this dream
where u invite me 2 dinner with ‘the Rankin Family [via mainstream Canadian folkwave band fame]
I tell them just how special your music is
How it resonates, transcends, and promotes organic vibes.
And they sort of ‘get’ why ur music is good, but maybe still think their music is more culturally authentic
but then we have an open discussion about trends, scalable art, and cultural relativity
We all bond, and build a strong, healthy relationship.
Not sure if it is actually ‘more auth’ 2 be in2 the other girl in Alvvays, Kerri MacLellan.
I think she might be an altbaguette [via HRO era]
but maybe just a premium auth now?
I miss bangs.
But it’s not about what u look like.
It is just about your organ/synth talents
and your contributions to the album/live show that I am unable to quantify
This isn’t about the bros in the band
Bros are gross, forgettable, disgusting
using the internet 4 pornography like it is ‘normal’
leaving mean comments on the internet, being bullies
Some are nice, but usually taken advantage of by kRaZiE girls
unready 4 a true auth relationship.
Stuck in an unhealthy, tragic alt relationship
In the song “Ones Who Love You,” you taught me how 2 treat ppl who love me/like me/hate me. It is actually sorta confusing. I think I am just supposed 2 keep running away from every1 maybe?
When the wheels come off
Can I be ur astronaut, bb?
And I mean that in a way that honors our educational/career path
in a way that makes us special/functional/able 2 enjoy a healthy relationship
Were u more in2 Molly Rankin with brown hair?
Don’t u just want some1 who wears chill ass Iowa State football jerseys
instead of ‘the latest trend’ from ‘the shopping mall’
Or are u in2 a perfect auth BB
wearing something plain and unflattering
bc ur more in2 her soul/vibe?
What does the ideal auth dream girl look like?
But more importantly, what are the key traits of an auth female?
Do altbros need to ‘grow up’ in2 pure vibed auth bros? auth men? auth_guy? auth_manbro?
Has feminism as a scalable web mechanism made things better 4 females [via ‘awareness’], or has it marginalized the message/pure vibes?
What does auth look like?
R u more in2 Molly Rankin or Kerri MacLellan? (Not physically, but in terms of their auras)
Is the ‘double v’ in ALVVAYS more authentic than the ‘u’ replacement in CHVRCHES CHVCKVN? Let us know in the comments!
