What are your pride anthems?

.. Um you really can’t revoke mine considering you never even told me that my taste was great to begin with. We were talking about YOUR style of music not mine hun.

I don’t like artists cause they are popular and make money.. I actually like artists based off their life story and what they had to do to make it where they are today, and their struggles throughout their entire life/career. You’ll be surprised on how much Mariah struggled, she’s not the big ol’ diva people make it look like, her life isn’t a fairytale and neither is Whitney so don’t make assumptions. They both have rough backgrounds that most people relate to which is what forms that bond.. that’s what stan culture practically is.

Unpretty might be a depressing song but it helped a lot of people, same with Waterfalls even though it’s a bit overrated for me. Not all gay anthems are about having fun, some should have inspirational themes incorporated into it as well and if it comes off as depressing then that’s fine cause that is what makes people form a connection with the song, example would be Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful”, it’s depressing but it became one of the biggest gay anthems of the 21st century due to it’s powerful message, something I’m pretty sure a lot of people felt when Unpretty came out.
