me realizing that i have been ruined for the rest of my life now i will never be able to be in any situation were the songs riptide or formation are playing without it awakening a media studies sleeper agent within me

#like cannnot listen to those songs without immediately thinking abt the music videos and like. media language and representation theories #and that ability stops being useful in like. less than a week lmao !!!#although the even worse thing abt riptide is that my sibling became a rly big fan of the song around when we saw toy story 4 #(<- my worst enemy bad sequel alert !! but not thee current point) and they like. pointed out the lyrics #“this cowboys been running from himself/and shes been living on the highest shelf” in like. relation to woody and bo peep respectivly #and i still fucking think of that when i hear that line. SO THANKS A LOT I DONT EVEN LIKE THE MOVIEE OMGG !!#alos um um for those lines in the music video postmodernism we literally see a cowboy running from himself #and hes been living on the highest self we see a view of a woman on a balcony that appears to be from the presepctive #someone watching her from some bushes smth smth objectification male gaze SEE I KNOW MY STUFF !!!#obviously going to say more than smth smth in my exam btw just cirrenly way to latee to bother for a tumblt post #anyway. someone shld do a poll abt how many people here have studied media studies i tihnk it wld b interesting #both bc of tumblrs bad media literally rep and bc of how much of tumblr is fandom and how much of that is media analysis #(not a huge amnt BUT STILL YKK. ITS PART OF IT !!!)#flappy rambles
