#like they weren’t real rockers compared to Def Leppard or whoever was the hot Hair Metalist at the time

Me going into the Duran Duran concert: I do like imaginating my Hyperfixations at concerts, but man I don’t know how Harry would feel about New Wave.
Me after dealing with the psychic onslaught of “Friends of Mine”, “Careless Memories”, “Ordinary World”, and “Come Undone” back to back: oh my fucking god he absolutely heard Duran Duran’s “Come Undone” on Sad FM and devoured their entire discography afterward. He never admitted to liking them though because they’re the 80s equivalent of a boy band and would absolutely get him razzed. Jean knows though. They drunkenly sang “Come Undone” together once at karaoke. Jean did the girl parts.
#say more sadie#sadie writes fanfiction#look actually though New Wave was post Disco and I think Jean Vicquemare liking New Wave absolutely tracks#Mom has talked a LOT about her experience as a New Wave girlie in her teen years and it really colors my opinions on this#because like there was a LOT of sexism wrapped up in the bands she liked#like they weren’t real rockers compared to Def Leppard or whoever was the hot Hair Metalist at the time#But Mom was like smart and always knew those players were GOOD on a technical level on top of just tossing out bop after bop#with like early 2000s emo/pop punk level lyrical flare#like READ THE LYRICS to Come Undone they’re fucking Fall Out Boy levels of unintelligible#Anyway that is the say that like. New Wave girlies are protective of New Wave bands and their status as rockers#which is to say I can see Jean being HILARIOUSLY defensive over this
