Happy Mayday! Originally, the Maypole was a living tree brought in from the woods with much merrymaking. Ancient Celts danced around the tree, praying for good crops and fertility. For youth, there was the possibility of courtship.

あ、MAYPOLE が指を顔に添えてる方ね。
別に泣き顔用ってわけじゃないよ!

ただ、うるうるさせたほーがサンプルとしてカワイイかな~ って思って、モデル少女ちゃんには泣いてもらいました!

I didn't "own" punk as a teen, but as a 30something nowadays, I consider Vaporwave my "punk." This maypole of a genre to celebrate and a cultural lens to see myself and the world through. Something to get excited about, and feel that I own.
