Français Semaine 4: Art is Dead (Pt 1)

Art is Dead 
by Bo Burnham

Instead of putting the direct translation back to English next to every line, I will only put it there if my translation is a bit different than the original. Part II coming soon.


Art is Dead, Art is dead, Art is dead, Art is dead
Entertainers like to seem complicated
But we're not complicated
I can explain it pretty easily
Have you ever been to a birthday party for children?
Where one of the children won't stop screaming
Cause he's just a little attention attractor,
When he grows up to be a comic or actor
he'll be rewarded for never maturing
For never understanding or learning
That everyday, can't be about him
There's other people you stupid asshole

L'art est mort, L'art est mort, L'art est mort                (Art is dead)
Artistes aiment fait semblant d'être compliqué           (Artists like to pretend to be complicated)
Mais nous ne sommes pas compliqué                        (But we're not complicated)
Je peux l'expliquer assez facilement                           (I can explain it pretty easily)
Avez-vous jamais été à une fête d'anniversaire pour les enfants?
                                                                            (Have you ever been to a birthday party for children?)
Où un petit enfant n'arrêtera pas crier                        (Where a little kid won't stop crying)
Car il adore l'attention,                                               (Because he loves the attention)
Quand il grandit pour devenir un comique ou un acteur
Il sera récompensé parce sue il n'a pas maturé            (He'll be rewarded because he never matured)
De ne jamais compréhension et apprentissage            (Never understanding or learning)
Chaque jour ne peut pas être à propos de lui               (Each day can't be about him)
Il y a d'autres personnes, Vous connard stupide          (There's other people, You stupid asshole)

FUN FACT: Canard=duck, Connard=asshole

Consent

Just a reminder. Consent is an ongoing uncoerced and enthusiastic YES. Consent can be revoked at anytime, even if you’ve done this thing before. It is still required if you’ve been in a long term relationship or are married. Consent is required from both parties every time. If someone pressures you into doing something, if they threaten or coerce you, if you say nothing and look uncomfortable than it is NOT consent. SILENCE is NOT consent. YES is CONSENT.
Here is a great essay about the problems with silence as consent and how it perpetuates rape culture.

CalNerdCon


     I am a nerdfighter. I love vlogbrothers videos and many of the other channels it has spawned. Through being a nerdfighter I've met some amazing people. Jenny, the creator of CalNerdCon, decided to share group members content each week and this blog was mentioned in the inaugural post. : ) You can find it here. If you like youtube related things and hanging out with awesome people, I highly suggest searching for (or starting) a nerdfighter group in your area.

     As a follow up to the above piece, I am part of the IGGPPC (International Geek Girls Pen Pal Club). It's a website/community where you can freely express you love of any and all geeky things, as well as sign up for a pen pal. Jenny mentioned my youtube channel as well as several other geek girls. You can check out the article here.
