Her parents made the hardest decision of their lives by turning off her life support. She had a Tumblr account with over 900 posts sharing her emotional turmoil, dealings with depression, loneliness & thoughts about her wanting to take her own life. The only response she got, was insensitive assholes, like the majority of people on Tumblr, encouraging her to do it. She was bullied consistently. Olivia attempted to kill herself every year in May 1st since 2008. In May 2012, her short life came to an end. I know most people can’t tolerate posts like Olivia’s, whom find it attention seeking. My point to you people is… EXACTLY!! Of course it’s attention seeking what else it?! People share that part of themselves over the Internet because they obviously feel they can’t talk to anyone they know nor do they think anyone would care. All I want is for people to cut out the bullying & talk to people like Olivia. A conversation to someone in desperation could save their life. If people can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. You never know… What you say could be used to decide whether they live or die.

I know that a ten second song about twitter doesn’t seem like it deserves critical analysis, but it does.

First, the video, don’t forget the sounds that Andrew has designed to accompany the appearance of his logo, to accompany the appearance of the question and to transition into the music video itself, as well as the distortion on the spoken vocals.

Ending out with the faux unenthusiastic social media call-out which is, in itself, a commentary on “social media strategy” and how idiotic it can be.

As for the actual song, it’s easily good enough to be something that Twitter paid over six figures for. The instrumentation is tight, extremely well-mixed. Despite the fact that the song is literally ten seconds long, it has a beginning a middle and an end, and it follows a musical arc that I fell straight into, but somehow actually left me feeling satisfied.

Lyrically, we have an introduction that makes sense but isnt (and doesn’t need to be) called back to, followed by the only rhyme scheme in the song “I’ll be sure to tweet and keep it short and sweet” which is the only rhyme the song needs. But not just because the song is so short, also because it is a freaking genius rhyme. First, it’s three syllables and three words, not the sort of rhyme you tease out of rhymezone, but one that slaps you in the face and makes you feel like a super hero when it lands in your lap.

Beyond being a three word rhyme, it’s got assonance and consonance working for it as well. So much so that, when listening, you’re not even sure that the words are different from one another.

The rhythm of the language reflects the actual rhythm of speaking without sacrificing the musicality and, overall, it ties together not just as a musical piece, but as a commentary on our short-attention-span society.

Andrew Huang, you win.
