It’s the McGurk Effect and it has become an obsession. Time to let it go.
I’m not obsessed, other that I cannot understand why nobody else is disturbed by this terribly negative message this song sends teens and recognizes the danger.
I recently watched a Dateline on ID where a Montana honor student was convicted of doing exactly that after breaking up with her boyfriend. It was not quite exact, however. She crossed the center line and crashed her car into an oncoming car at 85 mph and killed 3 people. I suppose there was no bridge handy. She got 30 years in jail with 15 suspended. She texted her intention to kill herself by crashing her car to her boyfriend just before it happened. This happened 2 days before the prom.
Now, I have no idea whether this teen ever heard this song, but I do know that unstable, emotional people can be influenced by music, movies, and books.
It’s not even good music.
