Navigating the Spectrum: The Struggles of Bisexual Identity in 'Boy Bi'

Mad's song 'Boy Bi' delves into the complexities and confusions of bisexual identity, capturing the emotional turmoil and societal pressures faced by those who don't fit neatly into traditional sexual orientation categories. The lyrics are a candid exploration of the artist's internal struggle with their sexuality, expressed through a series of relatable and often humorous scenarios. The song opens with the artist's difficulty in answering questions about their sexuality, highlighting the ambiguity and fluidity that often accompanies bisexuality.

The use of Disney movie references, such as choosing between Shang or Mulan and being attracted to both Jasmine and Aladdin, serves as a metaphor for the artist's bisexuality. These references are not only culturally significant but also underscore the innocence and confusion that can come with discovering one's sexual orientation. The artist's indecision and the metaphor of switching preferences 'like an on and off switch' further illustrate the fluid nature of their attractions, making it clear that their feelings are not fixed or easily categorized.

The chorus, with its playful yet poignant lines like 'boy bi, girl hi, new guy, I'm bi?' encapsulates the artist's ongoing struggle to define their identity. The song also touches on the societal challenges of being 'too gay for girls, too straight to be a drag queen,' emphasizing the difficulty of fitting into predefined roles. The artist's admission of being 'bi but just without the sexual' and 'too scared to date' adds another layer of complexity, revealing the fear and uncertainty that can accompany bisexuality. Ultimately, 'Boy Bi' is a heartfelt and honest portrayal of the artist's journey towards self-acceptance and understanding in a world that often demands clear-cut answers.
