One of the most obvious options depicting gun violence in America is this song, especially in Black American community

Censored completely off the school computer because Lil Darkie not only is his name pretty offensive, but he writes music REALLY OFFENSIVE, like one of them, is about the holocaust. It's bad. But this song is about a drive-by shooting and more gun violence and super explicit language

Personal perspective of a school shooting "Don't you want to hold the gun" Maybe peer pressured into shooting up her school?

Song blocked because Mitski is just too good sighh

"I get mean when I'm nervous like a bad dog" Which I think describes Will pretty well. He peed his pants from his Dad pointing the gun at his head, showing him what will happen if he goes through with it but the way I see Will is as a dog who is terrified and biting because of it.

Mitski - Cop Car (Filtered Instrumental)

In a way, Tyler and Will are the same having never really met they're father even when Both of their fathers wanted to be in their son's lives but died before being able to. Both Tyler and Will's dads are dead and they look up to them, not knowing what kind of man he was but only knowing him by the stories told of him.

The song is kind of like trauma of loosing your dad and wishing he could answer your questions of why

Tyler, The Creator - Answer (OG Instrumental)

# data[].attributes.body
The song is about being exposed to drugs as a child even in the womb

But the reason I put it in this padlet is because you can take it differently. Being exposed as a child to something bad and having to live through it, in this case for Will it would be Violence and death, a kid shouldn't be put through that

"Crack baby, You don't know what you want, but you know that you need it"

NOT FROM THE POV OF MITSKI, I know the song is about misogyny and self-esteem around men but im putting this song in the pov of the men she talks about.

"Real men don't need other people
And real men suck it in
Real men don't flinch or bleed in public
Oh, I think I'm a real man"

"Real men keep cool in the face of a fire
Go down with the ship
And real men don't eat, 'cause they're above that, damn it
Oh, I'm gonna be a real man"

Will feels the need he needs to be a real man, that revenge is the right and mature thing to do when it's not.

Stop Teaching Our Kids To Kill, Revised and Updated Edition

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Completely revised and updated, a much-needed call to action for every parent, teacher, and citizen to help our children and stop the wave of killing and violence gripping America’s youth Newtown, Aurora, Virginia Tech, Columbine. Thereis no bigger or more important issue in America than youth violence. Kids, some as young as ten years old, take up arms with the intention to murder. Why is this happening? Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano believe the root cause is the steady diet of violent entertainment kids see on TV, in movies, and in the video games they play—witnessing hundreds of violent images a day. Offering incontrovertible evidence based on recent scientific studies and research, they posit that this media is not just conditioning children to be violent and see killing as acceptable but teaching them the mechanics of killing as well. Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill supplies the statistics, interprets the copious research that exists on the subject, and suggests the many ways to make a difference in your home, at school, in your community, in the courts, and in the larger world. In using this book, parents, educators, social-service workers, youth advocates, and anyone interested in the welfare of our children will have a solid foundation for effective action and prevention of future Columbines, Jonesboros, and Newtowns.

Worry and paranoia, self-isolation  and cutting others off or away, he doesn’t even want to be in that elevator with the others, it’s weird that they’re dead and it makes him think about the consequences of his actions if he goes through with revenge
