“I Don’t Wanna Be Pretty” by Alexa Villa feat. FLASCH is the type of music you turn on during a high speed chase after you and your homies finished causing chaos against the status quo. The lyrics portray a sense of resistance against societal pressures to conform to a certain standard of beauty and perfection that is often propagated through social media and digital platforms. In a world obsessed with appearance and validation, Villa chooses to put her middle finger up and riot against it in a Hyper-pop theme, fashioned with powerful electric guitars. “I Don’t Wanna Be Pretty” gives a kick-ass message about empowerment, and the assertion of individuality in the face of societal pressures.
