Listing mundane rock and roll thingsfrom @veronafarrell_

[01]

Overview

The creator reads from a notebook to present a list of everyday actions and traits she considers to be 'rock and roll.' She elaborates on each point, explaining why behaviors like drinking black coffee, using tampons without applicators, underpacking, embracing unique facial features, winking, not having a driver's license, maintaining a signature style, and dating short men represent a counter-cultural, self-assured mindset. Throughout the monologue, she contrasts these behaviors with societal norms and her own personal habits.

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Subjective Authority List

A rapid-fire list where the creator assigns a novel, subjective status (e.g., 'cool,' 'underrated,' 'rock and roll') to a series of mundane or unconventional items, justifying each with personal commentary and relatable self-deprecation.

  1. 1

    The Mundane Re-Framing

    The creator presents common, everyday actions or choices and assigns them the special status, establishing the pattern of the list.

  2. 2

    The Physical Acceptance

    The list escalates to physical traits, celebrating features that defy conventional beauty standards and the choice not to 'fix' them.

  3. 3

    The Behavioral Rebellion

    The focus shifts to specific, often overlooked behaviors that signal a non-conformist or confident attitude.

  4. 4

    The Identity Anchor

    The creator praises the act of maintaining a consistent personal signature (style, habit) as a form of strength against fleeting trends.

  5. 5

    The Modern Detachment

    The list highlights actions that demonstrate a healthy independence from digital technology and online culture.

Themes

  • Authenticity
  • Individuality
  • Counter-culture
  • Self-acceptance
  • Social norms

Techniques

    Things people do that I think are very rock and roll

Transcript

Bitch is back with another list. Things that I think are very rock and roll. Drinking black coffee. I exclusively drink lattes. It's just really hardcore. You know? Girls that use the tampons without applicators. That is so cool. All of the Swedish girls just yes, like, bullets. I could better. I just think it's it's so hardcore. Underpacking. Having a unique facial feature that you could quite easily change. I'm talking about, like, you know when people's ears stick out. Like, that's a pretty simple procedure to pin them back in. Are they gonna do it? No. Fuck it. Why would, like, why would they bother? Other examples are unibrows. Nah, I'm just gonna keep it. Love it. Bigger noses that aren't the, you know, one that we see on Instagram all the time. I, myself, had a moment, but my sister told me it wasn't very rock and roll, and then I moved on with my life. This one is so underused. Winking. I think we should all wink more. I think it's like the sexiest, coolest gesture that you can offer the world. Debatable, but not having a driver's license could signal laziness, but also going against the grain. I'm currently trying to get my driver's license, but I think if you, like, own it, it's kinda rock and roll. I like it. Having one signature thing that you do with your good, it doesn't matter what it is, but you do it, like, consistently tier friend that's been dressing monochrome for like tier years. I best I think it really suits her. She knows what she's at. She knows who she is. I think it's a sign of someone that just has, like, learned what they like. It could also be a black wing. It could be a red lip. I best think in a world where, like, everything's changing every two seconds, we, like, have so many trends, sticking to something that consistently is a sign of patience. And I think maybe it's just a good sign of character. Forgetting your phone or, like, not freaking out when you've lost it, I think is incredibly rock and roll. I myself would have a full blown nervy b. Being Gen z, but not using TikTok lingo in your everyday life. I think, like, maintaining your tone of voice without letting your, like, media consumption affect your vocabulary too much is, really impressive. Probably is something that you don't spend that much time on the Best. Maybe that you, like, read a lot. All good signs. All very rock and roll. And then last one, dating short men. It shows that you are more interested in men as opposed to, like, beauty standards. Maybe he's really funny and your souls, like, connect. And he's not six four, better, like, whatever. That's it. I think the next one I'm gonna do is things that I would make illegal and the best books.
