it's been too many years for this to be relevant anymore but i'm STILL pissed off about heather by conan gray getting popular and the meaning being co-opted into "omg that girl is godly levels of beautiful and i'm just too ugly to compete" :( like. the song is about being gay. it is a song being sung by a man about how the person he likes will never like him back because that person likes women. the reason the singer says he's not as beautiful as heather is because he is not attractive to that person specifically because he's not a woman. are you stupid.
#just because conan gray hadn't said the words 'i'm queer' with his mouth at the time doesn't mean the song wasn't gay#he explicity said he doesn't care about labels and has had love interests of multiple genders in his music videos#use some critical thinking skills i beg!!#like i'm not saying it was definitely all straight people or that straight people can't like the song#i'm pissed the song was stripped of it's original meaning and made into another surface level 'let's all say we're ugly' tiktok trend#when it was a really heart-wrenching song about hating yourself for your sexuality#like YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WANT TO BE HEATHER FOR ANY OTHER REASON. SHE IS NOT A UNIQUELY ASPIRATIONAL FIGURE. SHE'S JUST STRAIGHT.#okay. anyways.#do i post this with tags. or will i get jumped.#conan gray#kid krow#heather conan gray#conan gray heather#tiktok#gay#queer#how to be cringe 101
