Prom Queen
by Beach Bunny.
CV5B - Inglês
 About the song
THE SONG TALKS ABOUT SELF ACCEPTANCE, SOCIETY
REQUIREMENTS AND INSECURITY, VERY RELEVANT TOPICS
NOWADAYS. MANY TEENAGERS AND ADULTS END UP
DEVELOPING TRAUMAS OR OTHER PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE
CONSTANT PRESSURE THEY RECIEVE.

BEING OUR SOCIETY THE ONE WHO DETERMINES THE WAY WE

SHOULD LIVE AND THE STANDARDS WE SHOULD FOLLOW,
HAVING THE MEDIA AS THE MAIN WAY OF MANIPULATION SINCE
IT’S CONSUMED BY MOST PEOPLE, WHO MAY FEEL DISPLACED
AND TRYING TO FIT THIS STANDARD, IN A HOPE TO FEEL
ACCEPTED AND FINALLY REACH THEIR HAPPINESS.

KNOWING THAT, FOR MANY PEOPLE, THEIR HAPPINESS IS

RELATED TO THEIR APPEARANCE, WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT
THERE ARE MANY FRUSTRATED AND INSECURE PEOPLE, WHO
STOP PRIORITIZING THEMSELVES AND FORGET THE TRUE
POTENTIAL THEY HAVE.
 Problems in social aspects.
THE MUSIC ITSELF FOCUSES ON THAT ASPECTS. THE
ARCHETYPE OF A PROM QUEEN ENDS UP BEING
SOMETHING RETROGRADE WITH HARMFUL CRITERIA,
THE FAMOUS ELECTION FOR THE PROM QUEEN
DESPISES MOST OF THE PEOPLE, ELECTING THE
PERSON WHO FOLLOWS THE BEST ALL THE SOCIETY
BEAUTY STANDARDS; WE CAN NOTICES THIS ISSUE
RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG, WHERE THE
LYRIC SELF HAS THE DESIRE TO COUNT CALORIES
AND BEING A BLUE-EYED BLONDE JUST SO SHE
COULD FIT THE BEAUTY STANDARDS AND HAVE A
CHANCE TO WIN THE COMPETITION, ALSO DESIRING
THAT THE EXPECTATIONS WEREN’T SO HIGH.
Possible damages
MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS TO
ACCEPT THEMSELVES INSIDE THE SOCIETY
BECAUSE OF REQUIRED STANDARDS, SO MANY OF
THEM END UP GOING THROUGH MANY PROCESSES
THAT ARE HARMFUL TO THEIR HEALTH, WITH THE
POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP DISORDERS, THE MOST
COMMON ONE BEING BULIMIA, CHARACTERIZED
BY EPISODES OF INDUCED VOMITING, EXCESSIVE
PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND LONG PERIODS OF
FASTING, WHICH ARE HARMFUL TO PHYSICAL AND
MAINLY MENTAL HEALTH, ESSENTIALS FOR THE
INDIVIDUAL TO GROW AND DEVELOP CORRECTLY,
FREE FROM TRAUMA AND INSECURITIES.
 IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MODIFY OR
END BEAUTY STANDARDS OVERNIGHT, IT
SHOULD BE DONE PROGRESSIVELY AS IT
HAS ALREADY BEEN HAPPENING, AND
ALSO MAKING PEOPLE AWARE NOT TO
CHARGE THEMSELVES EXCESSIVELY, BUT
TO ACCEPT THEMSELVES AND IGNORE
OTHERS OPINIONS.

Influencer

STANDARDS IN THE PAST, HAVING
EXPERIENCED BULIMIA AND ANOREXIA TO

DEDICATING HERSELF TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE
WITH SELF ACCEPTANCE.
