Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

A few weeks ago, Claire’s #MusicMonday was a song by Baby Queen and I loved it so I went away and listened to their Spotify playlist. I’ve not picked the same track as Claire, but this is one that stood out to me.

Baby Queen: Internet Religion

Death and guns and beating the gay kids up
It doesn’t happen to you, so why give a fuck?
If you can go online just to become
The identity that you construct?

Yeah! Let’s warp the standard of beauty
So none of our little sisters want to eat
Yeah! That’s fucking cool, and it’s a pity
We can’t Facetune personality

This is my internet religion
This is my ego’s exhibition
This is my political position
This is my internet religion

This is my internet religion
This is my ego’s exhibition
This is my aesthetic competition
This is my internet religion

Let me show you all the best parts of my life
My clothes and my phone and the gap in my thighs
My friends own things you can’t buy
But all of them are broke and most of them want to die

I’m done saving the world so take a look at these
Cool shoes, take a look at me, me, me!
Look at all of the places that I’ve been

This is my internet religion
This is my ego’s exhibition
This is my political position
This is my internet religion

This is my internet religion
This is my ego’s exhibition
This is my aesthetic competition
This is my internet religion

I like me better when I’m online
I can create myself
If I met the girl that I was online
I’d even date myself
I like me better when I’m online
I can create myself
If I met the girl that I was online
I’d even date myself

Let me show you all the best parts of my life
My clothes and my phone and the gap in my thighs
My friends own things you can’t buy
But all of them are broke and most of them want to die

I’m done saving the world so take a look at these
Cool shoes, take a look at me, me, me!
Look at all of the places that I’ve been

This is my internet obsession
This is why the kids have got depression
This is their identity repression
This is my internet obsession

This is my internet obsession
This is why the kids have got depression
This is the reality we live in
This is my internet religion
