How was your week, lovelies? I'm going to try to keep blog posts regulated to once a week unless they are time-sensitive for whatever reason, just so I can get back into the groove of things. As you might have seen, I changed my pseudonym from Teenage Kicks to Teenage Queen. Why, I hear you asking? Well, I just found out that there are several other bands and other pop culture icons called Teeage Kicks, so I changed it to be a bit more original. In fact, I actually came up with the name Teenage Kicks from a band. A fictional one. I once read this book called Take A Bow about this group of misfits at a preppy NYC fine arts academy who got together and created a band, and it's still one of my favourite books.
I came up with Teenage Queen when I was going through some of my favourite band's (a.k.a. 5 Seconds of Summer's) old Keeks, and I stumbled across one of them dancing to a song they had written called Teenage Queen. It was the cutest song EVER, and I absolutely loved it. It was only a 30-second snippet of the song, but that's okay. Here are the lyrics from the snippet:
"She's so cool
Rewrites the rules
She ain't got no time for you
She's a teenage queen
She hit me baby one more time
Like Britney did in nintey-nine
Like something from a dream"
Isn't that cute? Anyways, they ultimately decided not to release the song, and they sold it to another artist. A k-pop artist. It was translated to Korean. I was distraught. But I still loved the only 30-second english snippet that exists.
So that's the story behind my pseudonym - and this one is here to stay.
-Teenage Queen
