Lmao no joke anytime some depressing woe is me pick me love long comes on....even on adverts - I switch channels immediately.

I don’t give that frequency a chance to catch me 🤣

You are what you consume!

I only want bad bitch energy pumping through my veins and earphones.

I just listen to extremely hard female rap (unless it contains misogyny) a good example is meghan thee stallion’s older music, Rico Nasty, etc

I do that all the time too ! It helps that english is not my mother tongue, so it is easier to forget the actual lyrics and replace them with another meaning lol.

One of my favorite : when a song has the b-word, I always imagine it refers to men, especially LVM or NVM, and not other women. It then becomes a musical masterpiece (for example : Flawless by Beyonce. I don't like the fact that it is basically saying, despite including a famous feminist speech from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, "Look at my savage self, I'm better than all of other b-, they better bow down". The song makes more sense to me when I picture men commenting on everything a women does, while being completely unattractive, uneducated and repulsive.

Haha, yes! In my case it started when I was heartbroken after some mediocre LVM and love songs really ruined my mood. It was this golden oldie that goes: "I believe in miracles since you came along, you sexy thing" when I looked in the mirror and started singing this to myself. Now I love to reframe all soppy love songs like they are about my self-love. <3

I do this too and thought I was weird for it! sometimes I also imagine they’re talking about a spiritual figure instead of some guy (if youre religious god can be a good stand in but obviously that wouldn’t track for non spiritual people).

This is cute! Some of these songs are so catchy. Nice way to not miss out on a bop.

I also love instrumental versions of songs. Like Vitamin String Quartet. Especially as I really love hip hop but don’t like men’s cursing/vulgarity.

Wonderful tip for music lovers! Pleasantly surprised that I'm not alone in this.

I used to try and filter out any song with the word "you" repeated in the lyrics bc I was getting sick of the same old trope of pining for LVMs.

Eventually that got too frustrating bc of how many songs that included so I switched to framing lyrics to be directed towards myself.

Misthuio · 2021-08-01T23:37:48+00:00

Strategy? Why not just turn another song on? There are plenty of good songs with a more feminist perspective in which the girl doesn't give a damn about shitty males.

If you love the beat and don't love the lyrics, try the instrumental version
