binary suns Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I was introduced to this song the other day and it made me... shake my head, at the same time that I was grinning like a doofus. The song both makes me cringe as well as... well, inspires me. wtf! lol. TRIGGER WARNING: subtle, hopefully unintentional, references to abuse and victim blaming. if the video doesn't work for you, it's Hold On by Wilson Phillips, and the music video is well-dressed women grinning cheerfully and sitting/walking in various gorgeous mountain and beach scenes.

SkyWorld Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I just wish it had closed captions to follow along with. :/ Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzipueo Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I don't think there's much victim blaming in the song so much as pointing out that the unnamed person should grow up and take control of their own life and take responsibility. It takes two to tango and the other person isn't the only one to blame for what happened. Very 80s song. Link to post Share on other sites
