| [00:12.160] | Annika, I long for that too |
| [00:15.112] | A parental figure to serve |
| [00:18.116] | Someone who could recognize the pain in me |
| [00:21.407] | And validate my hurt |
| [00:24.202] | Who could point me in a direction |
| [00:27.102] | And say walk this way and you'll be free |
| [00:30.158] | That I'd have a home there among them |
| [00:33.215] | in their little community |
| [00:39.928] | |
| [00:44.604] | I think back on a teenage friend who introduced me to Marilyn Manson |
| [00:50.090] | In the darkest moments of high school |
| [00:52.859] | It channeled our frustration |
| [00:56.333] | He'd set up a poster of Britney |
| [00:59.076] | She was the face of all that was wrong |
| [01:02.263] | the hierarchy we'd never be part of and then he brought out his airgun |
| [01:11.980] | |
| [01:16.108] | At a concert I met a punkgirl |
| [01:19.007] | She just walked up and asked my name |
| [01:22.246] | asked if I played any instruments |
| [01:24.911] | she had a band that could barely play |
| [01:28.594] | The band was mostly an excuse to wear leatherjackets and hang and go vandalize the swimsuit ads from H&M |
| [01:37.815] | while I carried their spraycans |
| [01:42.544] | The best song they ever wrote was called "Can't Get Laid Cause We're Too Ugly" |
| [01:53.541] | But they never blamed anyone for that |
| [01:58.844] | except Baywatch and Tuti Frutti |
| [02:05.897] | |
| [02:17.443] | I had kind of a crush on the punkgirl but she had a crush on my friend |
| [02:23.425] | and despite my heart being punctured |
| [02:26.534] | I delivered the massage to him |
| [02:29.877] | But it only made him offended |
| [02:32.803] | he slammed the door to his room |
| [02:35.990] | Her interest became an insult |
| [02:38.916] | and confirmed what he thought he knew |
| [02:43.722] | And he was furious, so furious at all the Britney's that he couldn't get |
| [02:55.216] | I distanced myself when I saw what he'd written on the internet |
| [03:08.147] | |
| [03:19.458] | I re-watched Revenge of the Nerds |
| [03:21.704] | Do you remember the speech 'bout being different? |
| [03:24.787] | How l cried when I saw that at 13 |
| [03:27.895] | But do you remember the rape-scenes?Cause I didn't |
| [03:31.030] | Or how generally creepy the nerds are |
| [03:34.113] | The plot could be re-sunmarized this way: |
| [03:37.247] | Some athletes try to stop some sex criminals |
| [03:40.225] | from assaulting their partners, but fail. |
| [03:45.241] | I thought about this culture |
| [03:49.969] | that gave me strength when I felt like a freak |
| [03:56.447] | But also gave me an ulcer |
| [04:01.567] | from an anger that I couldn't speak |
| [04:10.344] | That I had somehow been robbed of a right |
| [04:16.144] | to love and sex that I deserved |
| [04:22.126] | A feeling that the game was rigged |
| [04:28.082] | Between alphamales and betanerds |
| [04:41.117] | |
| [04:44.147] | And then lsla Vista happened |
| [04:46.942] | and the Toronto attack this spring |
| [04:49.972] | And I read these incel threads |
| [04:53.055] | they reminded me of something |
| [04:56.451] | I checked my old friend on Facebook |
| [04:59.481] | scared of what I would see |
| [05:02.250] | But he just posted pics of his family in his profile pic he looked happy |
| [05:08.493] | He had a photoalbum called "goodtimes" |
| [05:11.575] | with a photo where we try to look evil |
| [05:14.788] | in shirts that said,"How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?" |
