Here we go: a female girl band. Done. A self love message. Done. Songs about memes and fandoms'? Done. They are The DoubleClicks, the kick-butt girl power sister band who sing about Clever Girl memes, Agent Coulson (of the Marvel universe) and combine the music of 'Uptown Funk' and 'Ghostbusters' Yes, people. That's a thing. Here is the abridged version of all the things I love about them:
1. They've got nothing to prove.
That's a reference, by the way, to the song "Nothing to Prove". This is supporting the idea that fandoms don't have rules to who is in or out, based on your gender, knowledge, ships, theories, or how good your fanart is. You don't need cred to love something. As their lines say "I've got cred but honestly I shouldn't need it" I've been quizzed on my nerd knowledge just because I'm a girl and I love the line "Our club has no bouncers, all who want in get in. But go ahead if you want to fulfill that role fully, I ain't got nothing to prove to a bully" Beauty. Pure beauty.
The Nerdy Lyrics-
They do totally ridiculous songs too that just make you want to cry with joy like "Lasers and Feelings' or 'Cats and Netflix' (yes, both express your love of supervillains, tv, cats, and other things we do when not internetting) Besides these 'nerdy lifestyle' songs, they have full on reference songs like 'Super To Me (Agent Coulson)' or 'Ghostbusters'. Another way they address their demographic: They know what we want and we want
They are still human-
There are musicians who, bless their hearts, are not super real. Grimes, I love you to death (DEAATTH) but she is almost too beautiful, too bizarre, and too talented. The Doubleclicks seem more real, they aren't models (though they are GORGEOUS), they don't have monumental singing abilities, and they are relatively unknown still (we must change this) This is good. I like real personal artists that I feel I know to some extent. I feel these girls are kindred spirits.
