Everyone has heard the song, but did they take the song a little too seriously? You can probably talk to half the girls at your school, and they will tell you they like both sexes. Once people heard "I Kissed A Girl," it seems like the bisexuality rate has skyrocketed. There have always been people that "go both ways," but ever since the song was released it seems like every girl in the world thought it was cool to be bisexual. The song led girls to think that they should all "play for both teams." Americans have always wanted to be accepted by their peers, and people will do anything that everyone else is doing, including being into both sexes.
"I Kissed A Girl," is a song by recording artist Katy Perry. It's about, well, basically what it sounds like. Katy Perry describes how she was curious about kissing girls, and does. While there isn't much substance to the song, it launched Katy Perry's career and gained a lot of attention from critics. Despite some mixed reviews, the song was enough to have all eyes on Perry after its release.
I believe the song is one of the reasons that girls believe that bisexuality is a new trend. Nearly everyone wants to be up-to-date on what's "in," and I think the song builds on that idea. The popularity of the song and the simple, "I kissed a girl and I liked it..." chorus may have gone a little further than just get stuck in your head. It may have started a nationwide (possibly worldwide) fad. This song spoke about something that everyone practically overlooked, but since its release, people have been expressing their bisexuality publicly. While it may not be problematic, I still believe that the increase of bisexuals stems from the idea of social acceptance.

I agree with this article. Once the song was released bisexuality became more popular in just a few days of its released. The song was catchy, interesting, and new. Therefore it put on a lot of attraction from many women all over the nation. This song made teenage girls more accepting to the gay community.
Dude, I totally agree. Almost all my friends who are girls are bi-sexual. I'm fine with whatever their sexual orientation is, but it's seems more that they only say they go both ways but never actually show they do. Seeing this hypocrisy really bothers me unfortunately, and I wish they'd just be themselves. It's almost sad that teens feel that they must change their beliefs or thoughts just to be excepted. (But on a side note, I do love singing along to the song. [laugh])
I completely agree with everything you said. After the song came out, it started a trend of girls saying they're bisexual. There's nothing wrong with being bisexual but saying you are just for attention when you're not is wrong. A lot of girls just say they are because everyone else is and it's disrespectful. Especially because sometimes girls who really are bisexual or lesbian aren't taken seriously because other girls go running around saying so for attention. I agree, there's nothing wrong with being bisexual but lying that you are definitely comes from wanting to be accepted.
