Thoughts on this pro-gay mediocre song about coming out?

    I embedded it for you.

    Though while I am here, it is not something that I would personally add to my playlist, but it seems to have a great message. With that being said, I only listened through it once, so I honestly have no idea if I am signing off on a problematic lyric or something. :lol:

    It's like when 3oh!3, Haley Williams and All Time Low tries to collab together and make a pro-gay marriage song, this would be the outcome.

    The writing is awful, the rapping is awful, the producing is awful, and the video itself is awful. I'm sorry, but having a "good message" doesn't excuse your music or video from being sh*t.

    I think that despite the fact that not everyone likes this kind of music (myself included) this guy went ahead and talked to Minx, a lesbian YouTuber and Cryaotic, a pansexual YouTuber about their experiences. And then, he made a song about something that not everyone thinks about: Coming out when it's safe. There are so many coming out videos today that are pushing people to take that brave step and come out of the closet, and that's a great thing. But sometimes, it's important to emphasize that coming out is still dangerous, and he advertises waiting until you know you're safe. Evidence of this being the fact that 40% of homeless youth self-identify as a member of the LGBT community.

    It's not a great song. But it gives visibility to an important part of coming out which I think is more important than the song itself.

    I like my rap, and his rapping was actually not too shabby, plus the message is good.

    He lost me at the screamo chorusy bit though.

    I'm glad that people can at least appreciate and understand the message even if they don't personally like the song/song genera. Personally, I really liked the song and it's even cooler since he managed to get Cry and Minx on board. :slight_smile:

    If it's being serious, it's terrible. Not the worst, but pretty bad.

    If it's a parody, which I doubt it would be, considering the subject matter, it'd actually be a lot better.

    That about covers anything else I could have said. But I do want to say one thing, this song isn't going to reach a lot of people, except that niche group that likes this. And that, considering the subject matter, is a failure.

    Not my kind of music. But I can appreciate the support given to us.
