None of your beeswax if I don’t want babies, Otoboke Beaver says
Many women complain about the pressure put upon them by family, friends, colleagues and even complete strangers to get children, to reproduce, to regale their parents with a grandchild. Well, dear pestered childless women, here is a song for you. Feminist punkband Otoboke Beaver tells everyone it’s not their friggin’ business, they don’t believe in their motherhood and they’d rather get a dog and the whole (Japanese) ancestor worship fuss is a hell to them because they want to “self-realize”.
And the accompanying anime video is pretty hilarious too, especially the part where a young mother shows the whole happy, meddlesome world her baby, only to put it back where it came from. Hail to the hormonal balance! Pretty funny.
Otoboke Beaver was, I think, the last band to play in Holland before it was put into lockdown in 2020 and elected by regulars of the venue they played at, the Vera in Groningen, as the best live act of that year.
It seems there’s a new album on the way and they’re coming to the Netherlands in May and I GOT TICKETS!
Really happy now. (PB)
