Sometimes I wonder how many millennials have attachment disorders simply because we grew up with this song being pretty much inescapable for almost a decade.
Like, yeah, she’s talented but has anyone ever studied what it does to a young mind when you grow up in a culture that blasts its relationship drama in song format 24/7 everywhere from the car radio to the supermarket, followed by The Offspring’s The Kids Aren’t Alright and Linkin Park’s Crawling?
In chronological order, it reads like a descent into madness if you ask me.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say none. Being abandoned by my parents gave me attachment issues, this is just a song.
Being abandoned into a world that processes its relationship drama for profit by playing it 24/7 in all public areas
