Raise your glass - for being who you are!





Wow. Pink is sending a huge messagge in this video.
For the ones who don't know her, she is an american pop artist and performer very popular among teenaggers. And as I said, I believe this song is awesome, because she is uses a lot of irony in the video what makes it so entertaining to watch.


You can notice that Pink is "turning upside down" our world-our way of acting and living. You see a bull-run, where she is playing the bull, and the bullfighter is about to get hurt with a sword. I think this irony is fun but at the same time it is actually giving us something to think about! 
Would we really accept that? 
Or just watch the part where women are giving milk to a calf! Creppy right?

"So raise your glass if you are wrong, in all the right ways, 
all my underdogs,
we will never be never be anything but loud 
and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks "


As you can hear and see, lyrics and video are connected.The chorus is clearly sending a messagge for the ones who feel missunderstood for being different. A lot of people are shown in this video, with different hair and eye colours, heights and features.

There is a focus on the minorities and the urban groups of nowadays, from homosexual people, to gangsters, punks and skaters. I think that is why Pink is using so much irony, because in stead of remaining silent, these people should raise their glasses for being who they are. Besides, the video is ridiculing our serious-minded and stereotyped reality. Why so serious?
I'm sure it is trying to tell the world, it doesn't matter if you are different, just be proud of it. 

I would say, Pink is making a toast for all of us!
What do you think?
