5 Ways Bad Bunny Is For The People

In This Article:

Rising Latin trap star Bad Bunny has become a driving force in the Latin music world. His most recent album is entitled YHLQMDLG, standing for "yo hago lo que me da la gana." Translation being, "I do what I want," Bad Bunny shows exactly that by his lyrics and fashion statements shown throughout the album.

1. Social Advocacy

While appearing on Jimmy Fallon, Bad Bunny performed while wearing a shirt advocating for Alexa Negron Luciano, a transgender woman who was shot and killed in Puerto Rico. Bad Bunny's shirt translates to, "They killed Alexa, not a man in a skirt." While performing, Bad Bunny was also wearing a skirt himself.

2. Lyrics

In Bad Bunny's song, "Yo Perreo Sola," which means I twerk alone, it sends the message of no means no. The artist speaks about how a woman in the club doesn't need you, so leave her alone. However, if she decides she does, then you may approach her.

3. LGBTQ Advocate

While filming his music video for "Yo Perreo Sola," Bad Bunny is seen dressing as a woman, complete with prosthetic body parts. By doing this, Bad Bunny puts toxic machismo to shame. He shows that it doesn't matter who you are or what you wear.

4. Fashion Statements

Bad Bunny's fashion choices are more than eclectic. The Latin Trap star is no stranger to dressing against the norm, and showing that it is OK to express yourself.

5. Creative Expression

Bad Bunny is not afraid to show his creativeness. From fashion statements to music choice, he's not afraid.

Although Bad Bunny's actions may seem simple to some, this is huge for the Latin community: to be able to show who you really are and how you feel. Latin machismo is being thrown out the window thanks to Bad Bunny. He is a guiding light towards the end of toxic masculinity.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
