    !! alphabet boy was a real boyfriend she had who used to criticize her when she was writing music and songs because he thought he knew better because he had a degree in music theory !!

    This song is for her ex boyfriend that was getting a degree in music and he was trying to teach her how to write her music even though she already knew how . Good work with the videos :)

    In the album "crybaby" Alphabet boy is Crybaby's first love. She realises that he is actually horrible and arrogant and that their "relationship" if you can call it that, isn't healthy. Fun fact Alphabet boy IS technically about a boy Melanie herself used to like (there's a video on UA-cam with her explaining each song of the album)

    Those are her real teeth. She was actually bullied for them when she was younger and in grade school. Speaking of which, she actually wrote a song called "Dear Porcupines" you should react to it!! There isn't a music video for it, but there are lyric videos made for it. 😊😊😊. It's a really good song and I'm almost certain you'd enjoy it.

    MEANING OF ALPHABET BOY: Melanie Martinez told VICE that “Alphabet Boy” is her and Cry Baby’s break-up song:
    When her boyfriend leaves her to get his music degree, he tries to teach her how to truly write music. Needless to say, Cry Baby didn’t like that! She says “F**k your degree, I know my ABCs” and spells out some choice words on her fridge. To prove her unique mastery of songwriting to the “Alphabet Boy,” her song’s verses go in alphabetical order! Take that, Alphabet boy. (Really though, pay attention to the verses, it’s really neat)

    Alphabet Boy is about the same boy that's in the song Carousel. It seems as if he believes he's smarter than Cry Baby and has a better way with words than she does. He brags about getting a degree and Cry Baby proves she's just as smart as him, if not smarter. Cry Baby realizes that the boy isn't worthy of her love and leaves him. She's "not a little kid now" and can make decisions for herself.
    Also Melanie said that 'Alphabet Boy' was a boy who was in college that she used to date. He studied music and he used to try and "teach" her how to write songs as if there was a formula or that she wasn't writing songs correctly. It made her furious and she wanted to elaborate on that.

    the album cry baby by melanie martinez is a history. Alphabet boy is the first love of cry baby, she loves him, but alphabet boy thinks he knows everything and she is a girl who dont know nothing. The song is about this, how cry baby is a 'poor girl' for alphabet boy, and how he think he is better then cry baby in everithing (: (sorry my bad english, i am from Brazil). Here is the history and the illustrations from the album cry baby: melaniemartinezmusic.com/crybaby/#fb0=1 (Alphabet boy is on the page 10/11)

    I'm a big Melanie Martinez fan, ever since she was on the Voice. And all of her songs are about her character, Cry Baby, so alphabet boy is/was probably a boy from the neighborhood or something. And I am like 90% sure those are her natural teeth.

    what i found realy interesting about the lyrics in this song is that the verses often have their subjects going in alphabetical order. for example,
    *Always aiming* paper *airplanes* at me when you're *around*
    You *build* me up like *building blocks* just so you can *bring* me down
    You can *crush* my *candy cane* but you'll never *catch* me *cry*
    If you *dangle* that *diploma* and I *deck* you, *don't* be surprised

    Alphabet boy is about the same boy in Carousel. It seems as if he thinks he's smarter than Crybaby (the character of the album created by Melanie Martinez) and has a better way with words than she does. He brags about getting a degree and Crybaby proves she's just as smart as him, if not smarter. Crybaby realizes that the boy is not worthy of her love and leaves him. This song is ultimately Crybaby's break up song to the boy whom she loved but came to the realization that he is a rude person who does not deserve her love.

    This is what Melanie said about this song (which is about a ex boyfriend) "I wanted to title it “Alphabet Boy,” because he was in college for music and used to try and “teach” me how to write songs as if there was a formula or I wasn’t writing songs correctly. It made me furious and I just wanted to elaborate on that. Me and Jeremy used lots of alliteration in that song for all the verses. We wanted to go in order of the alphabet."

    In her album and all the mv's you have watched, Melanie is just playing a character called Crybaby. So it's not her perspective but Crybaby's. If I remember right she is referring to crybaby's first love who turned out to be an arrogant guy. Though I like your theory about society and I think one can associate it with that as well.

    If you pay attention the lyrics correlate with the actual alphabet. "Always aiming paper airplanes at me when you're around." and then the next verse is "You build me up like building blocks so you can bring me down." and after that "You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry."

    The alphabet boy os actually one of her ex-boyfriends who kept trying to teach her how to write her songs properly. She wishes for him to stop because it makes her think that he thinks so lowly of her despite their close relationship and that he thinks she wasn't capable of writing on her own. She got mad, thus, this song. :)

    None of them make much sense on their own, you have to listen to them in order.

    "Alphabet Boy" is about her ex-boyfriend. He was going to college for songwriting or music, and always told Melanie she never wrote songs right, He tried to basically "teach her" how to write music. The song is a diss to him, It's saying she doesn't need him.

    the idea is towards her ex who had a degree, but in the album since there is a story line alphabet boy is a boy who is rude to her and then in 'soap' she gets romantic feelings and tells him how she feels and 'training wheels' the relationship grows but then in 'pacify her' she finds out he gets feelings for another girl, hope this helps!

    In the crybaby story, alphabet boy is the same boy from Carousel and is her first love. She realizes that he is an arrogant, rude person who thinks he's smarter than her. Crybaby stops chasing after him because he keeps making her feel like she is inferior to him. She realizes he is undeserving of her love and spells some choice words on her fridge to prove she is as smart as him and mocks him by calling him "alphabet boy". The real life inspiration for the alphabet boy character is Melanie's ex boyfriend who was getting a degree in music and kept trying to "correct" her music or teach her how to write music even though she already knew how. He believed he was smarter than her so she wrote about him and now this song is a part of crybaby's story.
