I'm 19 years old and I still haven't had my first kiss yet, which isn't the coolest thing
in the world to admit.
I just haven't had my first kiss yet.
I don't know why.
If someone wants to kiss me, they can.
I'm down.
But yeah, my friends were all dating tons of people in high school.
Watching them be so in love and so mushy-gushy in the hallways and everywhere we go kind
of just made me a really bitter person over time.
Because of that, I think when I see couples, I kind of just want to punch them in the face,
which isn't a good thing.
You should be happy for them.
Love is good.
It's just not good when you're not in it.
So that's why I wrote Crush Culture.
It's a song that I wrote for people who just, when they see love, they kind of just want
[Em] to throw up everywhere.
I started songwriting when I was 12 years old.
Then I just kept writing and writing and writing and now it's been seven years of writing.
I write everything myself, so it's kind of hard for me to not be personal.
When I have a song idea, I record it into my phone [N] and then I just end up having hundreds
and hundreds of voice notes and write the rest of the song usually on guitar.
Just because guitar is easy.
You know four guitar chords and you can write thousands and thousands of songs.
So no excuses for not songwriting.
Do it.
I'm constantly checking my phone.
It's actually miserable.
My screen time on my phone is nine hours a day.
Especially if I'm waiting for a text from someone that I really want to be texting me.
I just check my phone over and over and over and over again.
I'm a mess.
I don't care if I'm forever alone.
I'm not falling for you, cause this baby is love proof.
Whenever anyone looks at me in the street, I just melt.
I'm not love proof at all.
This song is a ton of sarcasm.
It's all just me trying to seem like I know what's going on.
Like I seem like I'm cool, but I really am not at all.
With the suffocating line, I was really trying to make it seem like, oh yeah, I got plenty of people.
Like get off me, I don't even need you.
Too many people.
I definitely am not suffocating in love.
I use love.
I think we all could use a little bit more love.
Sometimes it's good to just be sad and lonely.
Just leave me alone.
I'm just gonna have my little sad boy hours and just like, let me be.
The definition of crush culture, I think, is all of the flurry that happens around love.
People who are in love texting each other.
All these people flirting with you and all these people talking to you, but then all
these people ignoring you and not wanting to talk to you.
It's just the whole mess of it.
I am definitely the type of person who falls in love with strangers every day.
I'll go to a cafe, see someone, and all of a sudden I'm fantasizing about marrying them.
I don't know why, but when I'm talking to people who I like, I can't function at all.
It's horrible.
It's so bad.
I fumble on my words.
I can barely look them in the eye.
I'm looking at the ground and I'm shaking.
I feel like I'm dying.
I feel like I'm just gonna melt right there.
If someone's feeding me all these compliments, I'm like, what do you want from me?
What are you hiding?
There's a lot of players out there.
I can usually tell when someone's being no good.
I do this thing when I'm embarrassed around people that I like.
I don't know why, but I punch them.
More of a fight than a flight response.
So yeah, I don't hide in bathrooms.
I usually just punch people.
Shut your damn mouth.
You're talking too loud.
No one cares if you're too made out.
I'm sick of the kissing cult.
There's a lot of pressure, I think, on younger people that you get all those kisses in while you're young.
But I never really cared growing up.
I was really focused on making it out of my small town and working on classes and stuff.
I'll figure it out eventually.
But for now, if anyone wants to kiss me, let me know.
[Em] [N]
in the world to admit.
I just haven't had my first kiss yet.
