Lil Nas X is hot as hell. i love him for being so artisticly.

The plot has 3 acts, each with symbolic meaning: The intro is him saying that “Montero” is a place where people don’t hide parts of them from the world around them which prefaces how the story of the song is about accepting who you are. The first act is a version of the biblical story the garden of Eden. In this version the snake that tempts him is like a man tempting him sexually. He at first runs from this attraction, but eventually he can’t run and realizes it is what he wants so he gives in, symbolized by kissing the snake. It is important to note that the line “if eve ain’t in your garden you know that you can call me when you want” comes up multiple times in the song. He saying if a man is not happy being with women, it is okay to experiment on the dl with being gay. The second act is the one I understand the least. I think he is being put on trial for loving the way he loves while in the lyrics he admits his sexual desires, which I think is another biblical reference to the day of judgement when god judges your soul and gay people are supposedly deemed sinners. I think it also could represent how the rights and treatment of gay people is judged by society and they don’t get much of a say. The main characters pink hair in contrast with the blue hair on everyone adds to the sense of gay people being “the other” and “not belonging”. The stone statue crowd shows how from the perspective of the person being judged, the multitude of people judging them show no compassion (stone faced). The third act is Nas descending to hell. Nas is ready to ascend toward a faceless angel. The angel physically blocks the light, suggesting how the idea of heaven is oppressively anti-gay. Then the stripper pole shoots up from hell and Nas rides it down with giant braids and fishnets. The sentiment is that if everyone thinks the gays are going to hell, maybe we actually are and that’s where we want to be and we can look good doing it. It’s completely the opposite of what you would expect because it’s supposed to be in your face saying we don’t care what you think. We made the choice to live and love truthfully and we accept that that’s a different path than everyone else takes. I think the third act is very up to personal interpretation and the devil lap dance part is weird. My personal interpretation of the line “call me by your name” is that throughout this video “me” is referring to lil nas x, whose character represents the typical gay experience, and the mysterious suggestion to “call me by your name” is the invitation to take on and accept those struggles and experiences that come along with being true to your sexuality. It is saying that although you don’t get to choose if you are gay, the gay experience doesn’t choose you; if you are gay you have to make the choice to live that open life and be true to yourself. It’s a very artistic but interesting song and video and very up to interpretation. And no the video had nothing to do with him being a devil worshipper, you completely missed the point of the video. it is about lil nas x expressing gay liberation from religious persecution after being told he's going to hell to burn for an eternity for being gay, as many lgbtq people also experience. after he is stoned to death for being gay, he is rejected by god & descends into hell. he has no other option so chooses to do it in style & own it. then, when he makes it into hell, the words inscribed on the ground translate to "they condemn what they do not understand" (exactly what you're doing). this is making another nod at religious persecution & subjetivity of who they target. many religious people have told us that having homosexual feelings is “satan teasing us/seducing us” & that if we act upon it, we are allowing for Satan to seduce/overcome us. With Lil Nas X giving Satan a lap dance, he is flipping the script & being the one to seduce Satan, gaining full control over him & killing him. Fun fact: the song "Montero" is his real name by the way and the song is bout him brace his s€xuality and no being ashamed who he is 🏳️‍🌈😌

I don’t agree with the devil part either buts it’s obvious you don’t respect him being hisself by calling everything he does weird and having a look of disgust even before the devil part even came...js

I find it very interesting how some got a lot to say about the vid, while they are living a sinful life everyday.

Welcome to the channel please like and subscribe if you are a new viewer. Enjoy the video!!!

Wow Im speechless

He doesn’t envy you.

when did you choose to be straight? Its just who you are....it the same with gay people....I didnt choose to be gay, its just who I am.

FIRST

People don't choose to be gay. No more than you chose to be straight. I can understand you not liking the video but why do you believe that people choose to be gay?

I got your back AyeJay. Speak what u feel!!! Just like everyone who going to come at u because of what u say.

Hey Ya'll could you check out a couple of these & Maybe React to 1 or 2, The Cadillac Three "THE SOUTH" video Jake Owens " WE ALL WANT WHAT WE AIN'T GOT" video Jack Ingram "LOVE YOU" video Drake White "IT FEELS GOOD" video TY For Honest Reaction

Don't come in on anything it's a great movie

You made a choice to upload this video ,no one made you do it .

Don't keep quiet speak your mind. It's your right!!!!

Thanks for reacting to this video. I feel that same video is wired

Lil Nas needs to make better decisions. He’s trying to shock you, guy. AyeJay you are entitled to your own opinion on your own channel.

Speak your mind AYEJAY! That's way I watch your channel. I was hoping you wouldn't react to this.

I will say Aj forget your haters this the weirdest video I've ever seen and yes what's the heck is going on with him and him being gay has nothing to do with it he made a video about satin period I couldn't hardly watch it artists Express motion and feeling different he is a very talented young man you and Billy Ray made a hit song come back to that person still exist prayers for you to continue making hit records

Totally agree with you only gay men would find this appealing, he is limiting his audience

I will say what I feel this is satanic! Makes me cringe... shame on him and even tho he is playing with the devil I pray for his soul! God help him! ❤️Tennessee

I agree with you 100%, it is wrong on every single level. It's disgusting, it's wrong, the whole thing with his tennis shoes having human blood in it is wrong on all levels. This is your channel If you don't agree with it you say you don't agree with it. I love your reaction videos and I'm 53 years old. It's obvious he has no respect for his fans or God himself. Oh and one other thing, by him doing this he has ruined his career. There's no way he's going to bounce back from this. One more thing, there's not a drummer out there that can touch Bonzo!!!! I never got to see him in concert but I was lucky enough to see the band, "The Firm" in concert twice in the '80s If you haven't heard of the firm check them out Very lead guitarist that Jimmy Page!!!!
