I was thinking how you could possibly accidentally step on an ant hill bc where I live these things are 1-2 meters high but I keep forgetting there are smaller ones lmao im stupid. ✌🏻
As a girl, I think it's really unfair that boys feel like they need to bottle up their emotions to seem manlier. They should also be able to open up about their feelings without being seen as weak. There is no shame in crying or being different. I'm glad people talk about girls insecurities and problems because it matters, but we should also pay more attention to the struggles boys encounter because they also go through a lot. Sending love to yall 💞💞
I think we live in the shitty world that could be so much better if everyone could have a bit of compassion. I was in the girls restroom with my friend earlier today, and she started her period. She asked me if I had a pad, and a bunch of girls burst of laughing. “Ooh someone’s on her period” and such. Seriously? We aren’t 10. It was ridiculous. It was in a MIDDLE SCHOOL BATHROOM. I don’t know what their deal was. I can’t speak for the male struggles since I’m not a male, but I know they must be difficult.
@@penelope.j.010 Exactly like I will never understand how a woman can bring down another woman and not feel guilty, knowing very well what her struggles are like since she is one herself. It’s so depressing to see how bad we have gotten today. About the male struggles, I’m very happy to see someone sharing my opinion. :) We all have struggles and it’s okay to talk about it, being a female or a male shouldn’t matter.
one of the rare songs that actually talks about problems/insecurities/expectations boys grow up with. not that girls don't have any too but it's just hard to find songs that validate the male point of view
haha yes my good sir Because before feminism guys were told to always be manly and not show emotion. Although I don’t really agree with everything feminists say, you can’t deny feminism really has changed how society views genders.
Feels nice knowing this song points out a lot of the issues that are overlooked as a guy. We do need hugs and support, we do cry, but we NEVER say anything. The mask me and all boys put on has been there since we were kids. Its in our blood to be emotionally reserved and masculine, and I envy those with the bravery to take off those masks and show their vulnerability. To all the boys and men out there, I hope you have a good day, remember that someone out there thinks of you and remembers you.
I’m a girl but it bothers me that boys/men feel this way. It’s important that EVERYONE shows their vulnerability. I’m always here if you need to talk and I hope it helps because for me it’s easier to open up to people online. (Which could be a good or bad thing) I’m always here if you need to talk 💙
I remember you. And I wondered ever day until this point if there was anyone like you. The way I felt being a girl, I wanted to be a boy. I thought your life was perfect. But it's hard no matter what gender you are...
People always get really don’t appreciate guys who are really nice again and it sucks because people always complain about how much attention they want but it’s not their fault that guys grow up so attention starved and that’s why they can fall in love so easily
It’s a good song and it point out that it isn’t just us girls who have insecurities and that men aren’t all what people paint them out to be. Some men aren’t great but it’s the same with girls, and there are many good men in the world it’s just we only hear about the bad ones on the internet so that’s how the world sees them. Anyway to all the people who relate with this I hope your ok and have a good day/ night and I love you all :)
So true. Some girls forget that men can have many insecurities too, I think it’s such a cute song as well. My favorite lyric is “and I’ll f you up if your mean to bugs.”
If you’re confused on the meaning of this song, my interpretation is that this is pointing out toxic masculinity. I think that the POV of the song is using bugs as an emotional outlet because of the social pressures on the emotions of young and teen boys. “Don’t message me cause I won’t reply and I’ll make you cry. Ain’t that how it’s supposed to be? Cause that’s not me” is him trying to fit into these molds and not feeling right. The character is saying that he’s trying to be tough and it doesn’t feel right but all of the other boys are and I don’t want to stand out and be seen as weak.

To the boys who can't be boys around everyone: you're so loved, and you're still a boy. I know it's hard, but remember no matter what anyone says, you are who you are.
@Rehana Aamir there's no gender here or there about life, everyone experiences hard shit in their lives, some more than others, suicide just depends on whoever gives up the most. i dont usually stand by the "being this gender is harder than the other one" because it depends on how hard an individual'd life are. Yeah sure boys get a boner everyday and it's embarrassing to some people, but girls experience period and even if it happens less than a boner, the amount of struggle is a girl have to go through that days of period is hard. (and yes, girls are also horny in most times, especially in puberty) Anyways, what I mean is the struggles on life depends on the person, not it's gender.
relatable, especially when you have a crush and u feel he/ she doesn't like you like- is it just me hard having a crush that I feel so nervous around him? .-.
If anyone is confused, this song is about being a teenage boy and feeling pressured into acting "tough" or mean. It is showing the effects of toxic masculinity and how a lot of boys who act mean or emotionless on the outside are actually an emotional wreck on the inside, and only act this way because society tells them to. I think the bugs come into play because the song is written in the point of view of a 14 year older boy who acts tough but has a soft spot for bugs. The title "Boys Will Be Bugs" is based on "boys will be boys." It is saying that boys are going to be annoying and rude but people just play it off because that's how they are expected to act by society. I understand the line "How's it like in a female world, I bet it's just so much better." Yes, girls generally don't have to hide their emotions. Obviously, there are things in the female world that aren't so great as much as there are in the male world. But, in a boy's perspective they don't really pay attention to all of it. The song also shows how various teenagers will think they know everything but they are just as confused as anyone else. The phrase "...and I think I know everything." gets repeated a lot. Cavetown is portraying a boy confused about girls, trying awkwardly to talk to a girl he likes. Another line that was said is "If ladybugs are girls, how do you make kids together?" Which is showing the boy may think he knows how everything works but he really doesn't. After all, the bravest thing you can do is be yourself, not what others tell you to be.
I’ve been waiting YEARS to play this song over and over and have it actually be true, now on Friday I turn 14, and I want this to be a song playing wherever I go for an half an hour at the least😊
If it’s accidental then I think it’s ok The only time you cross the line is when you do it for fun I literally have to force myself to do it, and even then I feel guilty
I played this today for my fourteenth birthday and I got to hug my mom. When I first found this song I must’ve been 11-12 and by god I really didn’t think I would be able to play it today. Last year today I was in a mental hospital because of my attempt and one of the few reasons Im glad I made it is because I got to play this song. So if you’re not in a great place, aren’t sure you’ll make it to fourteen, and are looking for at least one reason to keep going; Make this a reason. Keep going so you can play this on your birthday. Hopefully this helps someone and if it does im glad. With hope and luck, keep kicking ass. “ ; “
@@fienn5227 I’m doing better, my life is going well. have some projects that I want to do and hopefully I can get them out to the internet soon enough.

Gen Z isn't too sensitive We just don't want people to feel what we felt, and we want to protect and come together for everyone Because gay, straight, trans, nonbinary, lesbian, black, white, Asian, British, German, all sexualities, genders, ethnicities, countries, or backgrounds shouldn't affect how people treat you. Only actions should And Gen Z has its bad eggs like all generations. But we are hard working, understanding, caring, open, and protective. And we have the power and knowledge to keep others safe and loved

I listened to this song a couple time before watching the lyric video. I wanna just say I love everything by Cavetown, the music is just so moving it gives me goosebumps. Now, after seeing the actual lyrics, I feel like it's so much better. Now that I know the words I can actually connect with it on a personal level and still have the absolute masterpiece of music to back it up. I listen to one Cavetown song and here I am wanting to ask out my crush, go on a midnight ride with my dog, or make myself a bowl of cereal and talk to my little sister. I don't know how they do it, but Cavetown makes me want to be the person I struggle to be. I'll forever be grateful, love you homie!
when i listened to this the first time when it says “i think this year im gonna be mean” i thougjt it said “i think this year im gonna be ME” AND I WAS LIKE “AWWWH SO SWEET” LMFAO IM WHEEZINF
My brain: This song’s pretty good, huh? Me: I mean, yeah. My brain: You want to listen to it a lot, right? Me: Yeah, I guess. My brain: So, you want to listen to it so much to the point you can’t stand to listen to it anymore, right? Me: What, why would I want to- no! My brain: No one asked. **Does it anyways**
I'm a 16 years old teen girl and I'm her because I just love cavetown all songs are so relateable no matter if you're a boy/girl/anything else Thank you for giving me comfort cavetown💛
Well no i don't think this song applies to you. The song is about a boy having to fit into the masculine gender role assigned by society and struggling to fit in. The character portayed is someone who tries being someone who he isn't. I'm sure girls face this issue aswell but they have to fill the feminin gender role.
@@iamataco6382 that's what I'm saying, either if you're a woman or a man you'll have to face these problems so in it's own way can be for anyone, and a song can mean a lot of different things to everyone
“Block it out and never feel it” I feel like no matter what gender you are anyone can relate to this. Nowadays it’s socially unacceptable for anyone to open up
To the 13 year olds out there, if you play this song, at 11:58:38 the day before your bday, you will turn 14 just when the beat drops and says 'mean'. thank me later :)) edit: 1/12/22 - i wrote this comment when i was like, 12? its crazy because back then i was so excited to finally do this when i turn 14, and i am so happy today i got to do exactly that!! i just turned 14!! glad i could help a bunch of people when they turned 14, it really feels accomplishing! and i hope any future soon-to-be 14 year olds can enjoy this moment for themselves too
Welp, I may be non-binary, I may possibly be trans, but I am currently residing at a 13 yr old female child. I shall do this. Got to wait a month though =n=
Who else thought it said “Just turned 14 and I think the year I’m gunna be *me* “ instead of “Just turned 14 and I think the year I’m gunna be *mean*” ?
I've literally always heard it that way lol, idk why but i prefer it that way, especially since i've literally just turned 14 myself and i want to just be myself but uhhhh i highly doubt that's gonna happen
‘Don’t mess with me, I’m a big boy now and I’m very scary! I punch my walls, stay out at night and I do karate’ That felt personal 😂 literally described my life (but change boy to girl) in two lyrics
Wow the message of this song is actually really deep and meaningful, especially to me personally as a teenage boy. The idea that boys are supposed to fight and be rowdy and messy has been imposed on us boys for so long and I can guarantee you all boys that don't really like fighting or being rowdy and tend to be more peaceful have at one point thought about how much better the female world would be as it doesn't involve physical fighting. And i feel like it strongly hints towards the fact that if boys AREN'T rowdy and fighting they're seen to be feminine and always called derogatory terms like gay even when they truly aren't and just prefer to be more peaceful. This world really needs to improve. edit : I also think when he says that he feels “stupid” and “ugly” but he “pretends it doesn’t bother” him hints to how boys shouldn’t care about their intelligence or appearance ( and by appearance i don’t mean makeup and that sorta stuff, i mean being well dressed and caring about your skin), instead they’re raised to care about how strong and rowdy they are.
That is deep but I fully understand where you come from as im a teenage guy who does sports people just assume that im violent but when they learn I have ADHD the avoid me 😂

Boy or girl, i think being a human is hard either way.
When I get to highskool this will be my senior quote. Sorry...I just relate to it too much-tati
Ya, that's why I wanna be a bug
@Rehana Aamir there's no gender here or there about life, everyone experiences hard shit in their lives, some more than others, suicide just depends on whoever gives up the most. i dont usually stand by the "being this gender is harder than the other one" because it depends on how hard an individual'd life are. Yeah sure boys get a boner everyday and it's embarrassing to some people, but girls experience period and even if it happens less than a boner, the amount of struggle is a girl have to go through that days of period is hard. (and yes, girls are also horny in most times, especially in puberty)
Anyways, what I mean is the struggles on life depends on the person, not it's gender.
relatable, especially when you have a crush and u feel he/ she doesn't like you like- is it just me hard having a crush that I feel so nervous around him? .-.

If anyone is confused, this song is about being a teenage boy and feeling pressured into acting "tough" or mean. It is showing the effects of toxic masculinity and how a lot of boys who act mean or emotionless on the outside are actually an emotional wreck on the inside, and only act this way because society tells them to.
I think the bugs come into play because the song is written in the point of view of a 14 year older boy who acts tough but has a soft spot for bugs.
The title "Boys Will Be Bugs" is based on "boys will be boys." It is saying that boys are going to be annoying and rude but people just play it off because that's how they are expected to act by society.
I understand the line "How's it like in a female world, I bet it's just so much better." Yes, girls generally don't have to hide their emotions. Obviously, there are things in the female world that aren't so great as much as there are in the male world. But, in a boy's perspective they don't really pay attention to all of it.
The song also shows how various teenagers will think they know everything but they are just as confused as anyone else. The phrase "...and I think I know everything." gets repeated a lot. Cavetown is portraying a boy confused about girls, trying awkwardly to talk to a girl he likes. Another line that was said is "If ladybugs are girls, how do you make kids together?" Which is showing the boy may think he knows how everything works but he really doesn't.
After all, the bravest thing you can do is be yourself, not what others tell you to be.

Cavetown: so you have chosen death..
Lol
One time I was on the monkey bars and I crushed a ladybug under my hand. I was very sad lol
I would literally cry if I stepped on a ladybug
Sometimes when I do that to an ant or a some bug, I actually feel pretty bad. Though that wa completely unintentionally.
If it’s accidental then I think it’s ok
The only time you cross the line is when you do it for fun
I literally have to force myself to do it, and even then I feel guilty
Even though I'm technically a girl, I really relate to and feel comfort in this song 😌.

I played this today for my fourteenth birthday and I got to hug my mom. When I first found this song I must’ve been 11-12 and by god I really didn’t think I would be able to play it today. Last year today I was in a mental hospital because of my attempt and one of the few reasons Im glad I made it is because I got to play this song. So if you’re not in a great place, aren’t sure you’ll make it to fourteen, and are looking for at least one reason to keep going; Make this a reason. Keep going so you can play this on your birthday.
Hopefully this helps someone and if it does im glad. With hope and luck, keep kicking ass.

Gen Z isn't too sensitive
We just don't want people to feel what we felt, and we want to protect and come together for everyone
Because gay, straight, trans, nonbinary, lesbian, black, white, Asian, British, German, all sexualities, genders, ethnicities, countries, or backgrounds shouldn't affect how people treat you. Only actions should
And Gen Z has its bad eggs like all generations. But we are hard working, understanding, caring, open, and protective. And we have the power and knowledge to keep others safe and loved

I listened to this song a couple time before watching the lyric video. I wanna just say I love everything by Cavetown, the music is just so moving it gives me goosebumps. Now, after seeing the actual lyrics, I feel like it's so much better. Now that I know the words I can actually connect with it on a personal level and still have the absolute masterpiece of music to back it up. I listen to one Cavetown song and here I am wanting to ask out my crush, go on a midnight ride with my dog, or make myself a bowl of cereal and talk to my little sister. I don't know how they do it, but Cavetown makes me want to be the person I struggle to be. I'll forever be grateful, love you homie!

Thank you for giving me comfort cavetown💛
Well no i don't think this song applies to you. The song is about a boy having to fit into the masculine gender role assigned by society and struggling to fit in. The character portayed is someone who tries being someone who he isn't. I'm sure girls face this issue aswell but they have to fill the feminin gender role.
@@iamataco6382 that's what I'm saying, either if you're a woman or a man you'll have to face these problems so in it's own way can be for anyone, and a song can mean a lot of different things to everyone

Yeah even if you're not a boy I feel like you can still relate to a lot of it
"if you wanna cry make sure they never see it, even better yet block it out and never feel it".
“Block it out and never feel it” I feel like no matter what gender you are anyone can relate to this. Nowadays it’s socially unacceptable for anyone to open up
"What's it like in a female world? I bet it so much better"

‘Don’t mess with me, I’m a big boy now and I’m very scary! I punch my walls, stay out at night and I do karate’
That felt personal 😂 literally described my life (but change boy to girl) in two lyrics
Wow the message of this song is actually really deep and meaningful, especially to me personally as a teenage boy. The idea that boys are supposed to fight and be rowdy and messy has been imposed on us boys for so long and I can guarantee you all boys that don't really like fighting or being rowdy and tend to be more peaceful have at one point thought about how much better the female world would be as it doesn't involve physical fighting. And i feel like it strongly hints towards the fact that if boys AREN'T rowdy and fighting they're seen to be feminine and always called derogatory terms like gay even when they truly aren't and just prefer to be more peaceful. This world really needs to improve.
edit : I also think when he says that he feels “stupid” and “ugly” but he “pretends it doesn’t bother” him hints to how boys shouldn’t care about their intelligence or appearance ( and by appearance i don’t mean makeup and that sorta stuff, i mean being well dressed and caring about your skin), instead they’re raised to care about how strong and rowdy they are.
I 100% agree with you, and it's okay to show your feelings and not to be a mess :))
That is deep but I fully understand where you come from as im a teenage guy who does sports people just assume that im violent but when they learn I have ADHD the avoid me 😂
