Let me begin by saying that this post is not an emo one.
I love the Forever Alone guy you see above.
He's the representation of rebellion against the hegemonic notion of having to get attached or life is not worth living.
But most of all, he gives us a way to laugh at ourselves by laughing at him.
You see, we're not seen as that different if we have someone/something/a symbol to identify with.
I love being single, and I'm glad I am.
There was a time when I was not glad to be single, but I realised if I didn't know how to enjoy life alone, how was I ever going to enjoy life married?
So I resolved to live life to its fullest, with or without someone.
And I am happy, and I can laugh at myself, the Forever Alone guy, and Severus Snape:
Alright now why did I even brought this up? I think it's an apt way to introduce this Monday's music video. It's one of the most catchy songs I know, and it's such a celebration song, used even during Marianne Lee and Sam's wedding.
These guys... while playing a most awesome song about love, TROLLED!!!
And in the process of celebrating love, ended up affirming the singles too, because the only single people in the whole video were the coolest ones, the very ones who were playing to the song of love loudest.
