should i do a thread of my fave finnish tacky pop hits of 2018 🤔 bc there are A LOT and the fact that most of the world will never hear them is a TRAVESTY 💔

ppl who actively dislike tacky pop hits...just say you hate fun and go

OK I'M GONNA DO IT but it's almost 1AM so i'm prob just gonna post a couple now and do the rest tomorrow. i'm gonna focus on songs with finnish lyrics 💖 prepare yourselves

i'm starting with the best thing to come out 2018, no matter what anyone releases for the rest of the year nothing will top this, i'm calling it now, the peak has been reached

ofc i'm talking aboutttt......

Jätkäjätkä-Ville by Tuure Boelius

tuure's only 17 and already he's given finland more than straight guys will do in their whole lifetimes. it's a carefree song abt making out with a hot closeted hockey player dude and living your best life

there was a whole mess with homophobes acting like this "defaces the symbols of the finnish hockey team" (finland is p fucked up abt ice hockey) but it's being played on the radio nonstop and tuure's strong so all they can do is cry abt it

I LOVE TUURE SO MUCH. HE'S LIKE A SON TO ME. I WILL PROTECT HIM WITH MY LIFE.

Muurit by Ilta

an upbeat song abt being stronger together and tearing down walls and not being afraid of anything as long as we're together anddd that kinda stuff 💖💖💖 the music video's cute too!

[CONTENT WARNING FOR SEX starts]

the next one's gonna need some background: every summer finnish radio station ylex releases a song abt the importance of wearing condoms. the artist is different every year but all of the songs are abt safe sex in one way or another

it's called the #kesäkumibiisi ("summer rubber song" lol) and the campaign also includes a shit ton of free condoms that are given out at music festivals

this may sound kinda awkward but it's actually so much fun?? the artists are good, the songs can be absolute BANGERS, and having one of the summer hits that are playing nonstop be abt remembering condoms every year is...rly good????

ofc there are exceptions, there have been some god awful kesäkumibiisi's in the past but i'm just....gonna ignore those for the sake of this thread lol

#kesäkumibiisi2018 is....

Kumipuku by Antti Tuisku!

it's a song abt having fun sex? plus surprise inclusion of us non-binary folks! he sings abt guys and girls AND people who "don't fit in either box" just like that!!!💖 (the mv's kinda bad...though...)

Tyynysotaa by Vilma Alina, Nelli Matula, Sini Yasemin & Ida Paul

#kesäkumibiisi2017! i have like...a huge crush on all these women so this collab was like...TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...this is the best finnish song to come out of 2017 hands down...i'm gay...

there are so many amazing female popstars in finland rn, singing abt all that empowering shit and DOING GAY STUFF TOO... vilma alina and sini yasemin both have songs abt having crushes on girls 🙈❤❤❤ which i should probably post too lol. but first! 2015!

Kesärenkaat by Robin

#kesäkumibiisi2015 this is probably the most important one bc it's by a teen for other teens! the mv has scenes of him talking about sex with his parents and them giving him the condoms and that's! so! good! for a teenager to see!

like srsly normalizing sex as something that can be discussed abt with grown ups is! such a good message! and for parents too, to see a relationship where giving your kids condoms is a normal and good thing to do! i love this mv and song so. fucking. much.

oh and robin is national treasure, he rose to fame when he was only 13, his demographic was mostly kids and he was such a good role model and idol, like he doesn't have a single album that doesn't have an anti-bullying song

he got tired of the hassle of being a celebrity and working through his teens and ended his career last autumn, had a goodbye song and a final tour and is now off living a chill non-popstar life like he deserves ❤ i love him sfm i will DIE PROTECTING HIM.

(every friday night i light a candle and pray that he'll feel like doing a comeback tour when he's like 30 and finland will get to relive the joy he brought us honestly i love robin so m u c h my son)

i got a bit carried away there huh well it's robin...what do u expect...

i also like rlllly have to go to bed now, i'll continue this thread tomorrow!💖💖💖 thanks for your replies i'm just...too tired...to answer them now...will do tomorrow💖💖💖

(ooop i forgot to end the content warning)
