Why Do Periods Exist?? Your New Musical Menstruation Anthem
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In "Rock This Period!", the newest music video from AMAZE, a pad falls out of Hannah’s pocket, and the bullies come for her. Jojo tries to defend her friend with an earnest, “periods are cool!” but, uhh, it doesn’t land. What exactly happens when someone gets their period? Why do periods even exist? And how do they affect the body? Sounds like questions only an AMAZE Music Video can answer
Periods might seem like a hassle, but they’re a completely normal part of life for many people. In fact, menstruation plays an important role in the body's reproductive system and overall health. In this fun, musical journey, we break down the facts about menstruation and explain why periods are nothing to be embarrassed about. Whether it's cramps, mood swings, or surprise leaks, everyone who menstruates experiences it differently-but one thing is for sure: you are not alone!
Lyrics:
Hana:
Uh-oh, look out below
Cause my skirt's gonna bleed!
Can't show the growing stains
As I run into the bathroom.
I know, I know, I got a heavy flow,
But this curse from Mama Earth don't pay!
I'll be on the rag
For seven days.
Life without menstruation
Would be so much better.
No more aggravation
'Cause your gym shorts just got wetter.
Even if you barely had boobs before,
Get ready to be sweaty and sore,
With cramps to boot,
Cuz it ain't cute,
What's in store!
Jojo: But Hana! Getting your period is nothing to be embarrassed about!
Wuh oh, I hear ya girl,
PMS is no joke.
No, no-body wants
All the bloating and the mood swings. (BLEH!)
Your glow may show,
You've met your Great Aunt Flo,
But it's a normal thing that all girls get!
...But it's a normal thing that all people with uteruses get!
…But it's a normal thing that all child-bearing-capable individuals get!
You're not alone,
And you can bet!
Life without menstruation
Wouldn't just be all leisure.
No more regulation
Of your bone mass and blood pressure.
Even though shedding that lining's a pain,
And all your panties have stains,
The crimson tide's a sign of pride,
So flush that shame right down the drain!
Hana:
I never know when she'll strike!
I barely am able to sleep at night!
Is this my fate for the rest of my life?
Jojo:
The end's a long ways down the road,
But once a month that scarlet flow
Is how you’ll know
That you've avoided
Impregnation!
Hana: Wait. You mean like a baby?
Jojo: Mhm.
Hana: A BABY????
Jojo & Hana: That's why we need menstruation!!!
It's normal to menstruate
And life could be better,
But we all go through it,
Go through it together!
So pop that tampon in or add
A latex menstrual cup or pad
Grab a snack and relax,
Go with the flow,
It's how you know
You've subverted procreation
With the proper education
It will give you liberation
So let's celebrate
Menstruation!!!
Hana: You know, some people have endometriosis, or PCOS, or like-
Jojo: I know but that's a whole other song.
