I feel like being comfortable and free in her lyrics makes the messages more real and involved.]]> 2020-09-01 16:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/712392033 https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/712395798 In this song MTS uses words like classy, bougie, and ratchet to express her life and style. Admitting that she’s a ratchet shows she knows she isn’t perfect, and when she says she’s classy and bougie she gives herself self appreciation and doesn’t care what other people think about her.]]> 2020-09-01 16:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/712395798 ewhite14 https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/712410948 I like the contrast that the 3 words provide each other. Before, I thought that these words were randomly picked and ordered without much meaning, but I now see that “classic” has a good, clean-cut connotation. Bougie can be taken either way (good or bad) and ratchet clearly has a negative connotation. This contrast provides a change of mood for the listeners. This mood is supposed to convey the idea of being a person who is versatile enough to be described with two words that have completely different meanings.

Using vulgar language like B— in the beginning of the lyric, MTS is able to strengthen her claim of being a savage by grabbing the listener’s attention, and then saying that she is savage. By putting a lot of emphasis on the word savage, MTS is also able to show the audience that this is one of her biggest characteristics.

Line 3, Sassy, Moody, Nasty

MTS is using these words in this line to talk about her life style. I think she uses these words to say how people are labeling her as negative things and she is being stereotyped as sassy, moody, and nasty. Also, I think MTS knows she isn’t perfect and can be the things she says in lines 2-3, but she also doesn’t care what other people think of her.]]> 2020-09-03 14:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/717951730 https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/727934273 “Sassy, Moody, Nasty”

I think that when she is calling herself sassy and moody she doesn’t have bad meaning behind the words. She changes your opinion on the words so now they seem empowering. ]]> 2020-09-08 16:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/727934273 https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/727984623 Megan Thee Stallions lyrics sassy, moody, nasty describe her personality and although those could be negative she’s using those words with an empowering tone of describing herself.]]> 2020-09-08 16:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/727984623 https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/729578156 While classy (graceful) and bougie (fancy or rich) can typically go hand-in-hand, ratchet (misbehaved) would almost be an antonym for these words. Using these words with opposite meanings to describe herself, MTS is normalizing being able to have many extreme qualities, with good or bad connotations,  at once. ]]> 2020-09-09 00:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/729578156 https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/737582487 The song ”Savage”  by Megan The Stallion has brought waves of self love and appreciation on the app TikTok.  Her choice of words in lines one through three (“savage, classy, bougie, ratchet, sassy, moody, and nasty”) were used to describe herself and show others that she has multiple sides to her.

 Choosing words like bougie, sassy, nasty, etc. can be used in positive and negative ways. MTS “hyped” up these words to direct people to interpret them in a positive way.]]> 2020-09-11 02:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kwest30/ttmrgjaqmzzi5okp/wish/737582487
