Hoping I can write the post today time giving.

Ya the slut shaming part isn't great, but I do understand where he was going with it. Talking about how times change, how before the great great grand parents were to the great grand parents etc to now (when the song was written I mean), when today everything is being sexualized. Looking at videos where women are more than half naked, twerking and objectifying themselves to that. Lacking respect for themselves in a sort of way. It is how I see the message.

I rewatched the video and where he says 'when you do dirty things', it doesn't exactly translate to that. I mean it somewhat does, kind of like 'when you fool around'... and 'you save yourself with abortions' is more like saying you run from your problems through abortion. It is nicer said in french than the translation they give.

It also comes with understanding how some things are in the cities in Quebec or even smaller towns how it can be. Many do go through that. When in my teens, later high school, I've had heard friends go through that. It is more sad that part than it is shaming. But anyways, it is a song about how times have changed but the one thing that never did was dancing, having fun. :)

Sort:  

Haha - yes, I understand as well that context matters and even the exact translation and intonation of words :D Quebec sounds like an interesting city and knowing that city must add even more to the meaning of the song :-)

Times HAVE changed a lot indeed, sometimes for the better, sometimes... well, for way worse ;-)
