  • I was under the impression that this is a misconception about the songs meaning.

    At the time women would be expected to say no outright and go home. To say they have to leave, instead of having autonomy and being promiscuous.

    So in the song the woman wants to stay but is following the societal expectation to say they need to leave and the man is giving her all the excuses she could use to explain why she didnt leave, so people wouldnt suspect her of staying over to have sex.

    These days that expectation is not there so the song is interpreted in a different way and sounds super rapey.

    To be clear. I am not advocating for this old way of thinking, nor am i saying i know the explanation i have given is true. I am only telling what i have heard and felt like to me that actually makes a lot of sense in the right context.

    Basically, women wanted to be able to have sex with anyone they wanted, but people would look down on them for doing it. So, to avoid being ostracised, they would avoid situations like that.

    But again. I may be wrong. I have just heard this explanation and wanted to share.







  • I have a head voice, but not all the time, I see images, but not all the time, I can hear music in my head, most of the time.

    When I write things down, I often speak the sentence in my head as I write it, but sometimes the words just fall out of me with no voice leading them

    when im planning a food shop, I visualise the shop and walk around it in my head so I put the items I want in the right order on my list. When working out what i need it’s a combination of visualising the fridge/freezer and cupboards and physically looking in them to see what I have and then looking at my meal plan to see what I need. The meal plan i made by just sensing what im craving that week.

    When I learn to play a song, I hear the music in my head and can sound that out to work out chords and melodies.

    When I compose music, I can hear the next chord I want in my head and then have to sound that out on my instrument.

    When I make silly videos to send to my family group chat, I think visually.

    People are just different. If you struggle with that concept, then I feel sorry for you.

    You say it’s for people to feel special, I say it seems to me that it’s more you feeling like you aren’t special because you wish you could think the way other people do.

    In reality, it doesn’t matter how you think. I envy my wife as she is much smarter and more organised than me, but she can’t visualise anything or hear music in her head and thinks more systematically. She is jealous that I can do these things.

    We both agree it’s silly.



  • Maybe people just like different things and there is no objectively correct standpoint on how cereal should be eaten.

    I dont think your opinion is wrong, quite the opposite.

    If you think it should be eaten with no milk, you are right!

    If you think it should be eaten with milk, you are right!

    The real problem is people who eat is with yoghurt and berries. They are wrong.









  • I just can’t agree. I wish having a different opinion didnt just mean people downvoted you to hell, you should be allowed to disagree with a popular opinion.

    So, instead, i will just counter with: i think hybrid theory and meteora were written around the same time, ive always held that both albums are start to finish bangers. When one song finishes and im just “catching a mental breath”, but another one starts and im like “oh shit!” Because i know its another great track i cant help but think both albums are amazing.

    They did, however, fall off a cliff after those albums. (Save for maybe reanimation, that was a fun album)

    Also im not even particularly a fan. I know them second hand from my younger brother who is/was more die hard. Im more into Muse, dear hunter, radiohead and things like that.
