Good Girls (Don’t Get Used) by Beach Bunny

Beach Bunny is a reasonably new emo rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Their first album was released in February of 2020 called Honeymoon. However, “Good Girls (Don’t Get Used)” is fresh off the press released this month on their fifth EP, Blame Game.

I absolutely love the Avril Lavigne vibes embedded throughout the song. It reminds me of my hard rock days in middle school listening to “The Offspring,” “Fall Out Boy,” and “Blink-182.”

Lead singer and lyrics Lili Trifilio’s tone is sarcastic and straight to the point. She is covering all the topics this generation is experiencing in relationships. The “ghosting,” the social media (in this case Snapchat), and the booty call culture. In an interview, Trifilio says,

“‘As a veteran of engaging with emotionally unavailable people, I wanted to create a sassy song that calls out players by talking down to them as if they were children, showing that poor communication skills and mind games are immature,” Trifilio explains. “It shifts the blame to the person that was acting disrespectful, instead of myself. The song also hammers home the point that I know my worth; I’m not afraid to call out players on their stupid behavior, and I’m not going to tolerate being thrown around emotionally.’”

I love listening to this song in the car, by myself, jamming out and singing along. Even though the music is very much rock, alternative, and emo, her voice is very soft, making it a juxtaposition to the lyrics.
