What is happening

ALSO, he came out as bisexual/‘not interested in labels’ like a decade ago, but much more recently he came out as gay, so he’s gay! his latest album, No Place In Heaven, is almost completely about being gay. it’s got a song abt his sexuality and his religion, a song abt pining for your straight best friend, a song abt the music world that includes the lyrics “where have all the gay guys gone?”, a song abt gay and lesbian solidarity, a song abt heterosexual expectations from family, and two songs that are just abt being super ridiculously in love w your partner.

because his debut album, life in cartoon motion, was such a huge part of my generation’s tween and teen years

like, i guarantee you, you can walk up to any swedish millennial, and they will still know every single line of his song lollipop

it was just a part of our upbringing;

become a crippling anxious mess

develop an attitude problem

He’s such an important artist who should be recognized outside of Europe too, because besides the fact that his voice is OUT THERE, he’s very vocal about minorities, about who he is, and about celebrating differences; plus his mother is Lebanese, his father is American, he lived in Lebanon, France and the UK in his youth and he speaks fluently six languages he’s a pure example of how being open to the world only makes us grow and makes it a better place 

Please, yes, if you don’t know about him go listen to his songs, you won’t regret it. I kinda want to link all his songs because they’re all different and amazing but the ones above posted by the others are very good to start with and y’know what, I’ll just add one of my faves ‘cause it can brighten one’s day (also look up One Foot Boy pls though)

bikes are quiet- if the zombies react to loud noises, they won’t hear you on a bike the way they might hear you in a car. bikes don’t need gas, meaning you won’t be stranded if you run out. bikes are much, much easier to maintain than a car- there’s no computer that can short out, no fiddly engine bits that could kill you if you mess with them wrong. you can learn how to maintain a bike with a couple weeks’ worth of classes. almost every adult knows how to ride a bike, and without cars on the road, it’d be much safer to do. 

what i’m saying is

“What do you play?”

“The Clarinet, you?”

WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT??? When you tell an artist that their original content will never be good enough, or that they OWE their talent to fandoms, would you BELIEVE that might hurt more than some feelings??

WOULD YOU BELIEVE RANDOM CRITICISM ISN’T THE COOLEST THING TO BLURT OUT TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING???

Oh my friends I am LIVID. Humans don’t have to live like this, no one should ever feel entitled to a STYLE OF ART or CERTAIN CONTENT. You follow people of your free will on Tumblr, you can unfollow them if you are unhappy with your dashboard.

Don’t you DARE try to go change someone’s art because you don’t like it. Use your freaking brain and care about others.
