Every day I wake up with a new Animal Collective song stuck in my head and I post it here for everyone else to ignore >:3
#if anyone DOES listen to this one i need to give you a heads up that they drop the r slur in one verse#from what i know they've cut that word out of their live performances of this song#in their defense i don't think they were using it as a slur so much as a crass way to describe a person#much in the way that they use crass language throughout the rest of the song#but it's still a slur and good on them for not using it anymore#also for the record this song came out in 2003#when that word was still slang that middle schoolers dropped on each other without second thought#deadass i remember having conversations with other kids my age and the general consensus was that saying/not saying the r-word was a#personal choice more than a reflection of your character - something that just marked you as a mild-mannered and polite person#which is um. an interesting opinion for children to have.#puts some shit into perspective lmao#god the more i think about it the more i realize how different the world was only 10 years ago#and THIS song is from TWENTY years ago!!!!!#literally not even a central part of this song idk why i went on this tangent#second half of the song is the part i like tbh#kids on#HOLIDAY (holiday) HOLIDAY (holiday) HOLIDAY (holiday) holiday fun kids on HOLIDAY...#okay i'm posting For Reverend Green after this because i'm very awake
