Katy Perry take 2
(Yes, when I'm procrastinating I catch up on pop music. What?)
I do object to the song a little bit, but it has nothing to do with the title/chorus line. The whole song is essentially ranting about the self-obsessed holier-than-thou indie type. You know the type. Here's how the song describes them:
"I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While jacking off listening to Mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway
You don’t eat meat
And drive electrical cars
You’re so indie rock it’s almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive
You’re so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You’re so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you’re so amused
That nobody understands you
I’m so mean cause I cannot get you outta your head
I’m so angry cause you’d rather MySpace instead
I can’t believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup than…
You walk around like you’re oh so debonair
You pull ‘em down and there’s really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me"
The chorus in between the verses just says "You're so gay and you don't even like boys," which basically just adds "metrosexual" as a qualifier to all the above descriptors - it's really not the main point of the song. The song's a little un-PC, and I object slightly to some of her specific rants, since I don't necessarily think that, say, driving an electric car is such a terrible thing - but come on, we've all met at least one of the super-annoying types like she describes, yes? It's really not that big a deal.
