Last year, when One Direction released “One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks),” a combination Blondie/Undertones cover they recorded for charity, the Guardian’s Adam Boult was prompted to start a list of songs that “must never be covered.” Never mind that 1D’s medley got a seal of approval from Blondie’s Debbie Harry herself; Mr. Boult said it was an “abomination” that somehow “tarnished” the original versions. So it’s not about the gender of the artist doing the cover—it’s about the gender (and age) of their fans. Think about it: Young, poppy acts, have largely young, female fan bases. I believe the reason rockist dudes feel so dang uncomfortable watching these artists cover songs by bands they love is that it points out that they might have something in common with fans of Miley, Lorde, 1D, etc. They might actually have something in common with teenage girls. And what could be worse than that? Here’s what I want to tell these people: You could do a lot worse than sharing a teenage girl’s taste in music. The pantheon of acts who couldn’t have gotten famous without the support of teenage girls includes a lot of people and bands you probably respect a lot: Michael Jackson. Elvis Presley. The fricking BEATLES. When Nirvana were around, most of their fans weren’t 50-year-old rock critics; they were kids.

tell us your most embarrassing story

So a while back i was at this party and i was the first girl to arrive and there were like 20 guys already there, we were all siting around, having a beer and whatnot when the dj arrived. So all the guys went out the front of the house to help set up the dj gear and it was just me sitting there alone in the backyard for like 5 minuets. I stood up to go follow them bc i was getting really bored when i realized something, my period had gone through my white pants and stained the while chair, i was humiliated, i had no idea what to do, i could hear the guys were coming back and i had to do something quick, time was running out. So i grabbed the chair, ran like 10 meters and threw it over the fence into the neighboring yard, i quickly walked back and tied my jacket around my waist. The guys soon returned and didn’t suspect a thing, i am amazing.

what if:

what if when you cried, flowers grew under your eyes into your sad sleepless skin baggies

what if when you cried, little oceans pooled in there instead and whales came out of your eyes too and they lapped up the water and then blew right back into your face because that’s what whales do

what if when you cried, it’s really just all the raindrops your eyes have ever silently betted to victory down windshields and passenger side windows

what if we’re all chamomile

what if scary lumps were actually just balloons inside your body

what if biology is just a party in your body

what if my professor is a hologram and that’s why she canceled class today

what if providence ate my professor and that’s why she cancelled class today

what if my professor is made of the light from inside lightbulbs and going out in the snow would freeze her into the incarnate of the pop from a camera flashbulb that also looks like the explosion inside of an icecube when you don’t distill the water it is made of

what if the scary lump balloons were filled with knives

what if my parents’ old home is a swollen node in the middle east’s armpit

what if it’s trying to pop itself before others get to do it and claim the confetti for themselves

what if it doesn’t know the confetti is actually knives

that knives are actually the explosion inside balloons inside your body when you try to distill the aquarium you are made of

what if this country is trying to fool itself into thinking pain is a party and martyrs are dispensable like compostable spoons and fig wrappings and phosphenes

what if lebanon pushes its kids to be scientists because it’s got fucked up biology

i wonder if it knows this is not its fault

but sometimes it is

i wonder if it knows to do well in biology you have to pay attention in history

what if my parents’ old home is flashbulb pop trying not to set itself on fire

i wonder if it knows it didn’t start the fire

what if when the cedars cried, splinters grew out of our fingers

would that make our fingers martyrs?

would our fingers be dispensable?

what if we cried chamomile cried oregano cried anise cried olives cried oil cried wood chip cried whales wanting to escape on the air from our tongues but they settled for the eye pockets because this is supposed to be normal, we don’t cry

we spit

fire

and then we cry
