Title: "GBAD by Jackson Wang: The Raw Power of Authentic Art"
Understanding ourselves as human beings is a journey that takes different time for each person. Truly knowing what lies deep within us may be life's greatest challenge—and so much depends on it.
These thoughts flooded my mind while watching Jackson Wang's latest music video, GBAD. I was instantly drawn not just to the clever wordplay merging "good" and "bad," but to how powerfully it explores both concepts. Every element—the music, lyrics, and visuals—pulls you into Jackson's introspective world.
What I admire most is raw honesty in art. Jackson has mastered the ability to express himself fearlessly, revealing uncomfortable truths many shy away from. It reminded me of a saying from my culture: "Be kind, but never a doormat"—a warning to those who give endlessly without boundaries, only to be taken advantage of.
The video's subtle nods to The Mask (Jim Carrey's iconic film)- this is only my weird brain making connections- and its clever dark humor perfectly balance the weight of its message.
The Takeaway:
Too often, we hide our true selves for acceptance. But fake connections breed empty security. GBAD challenges this cycle—and its message deserves to be heard.
