i just realised that i’ve been humming the only part of bty melody that we got for like a whole day since this morning. it’s catchy as fuck now WHERE IS THE WHOLE SONG ALREADY
I love how louis challenges the rhetoric of meritocracy. He’s not pretending he got where he is because he worked hard, and he even feels guilty (consciously irrationally) for having gotten where he is while others, maybe as talented and as hard working as him, work hard to be able to afford a ‘simple’ trip to Disneyland. It speaks for his impostor syndrome and his self consciousness, but also for his acknowledgment of class inequality. Many celebrities promote the rhetoric of success, the idea that if you work hard enough and dream hard enough you’ll get what you deserve, this false notion only leads to the erasure of class struggles. Louis’ honesty in regards to this issue shouldn’t be brushed off.
