The Golden Trinity is being lazy I suppose I could do highlights / averages before elimination.
But then whoever gets eliminated will be in the averages which is just a dumb tease and waste of space.
Sorry, we actually came to a decision yesterday but lack of communication between the three of us delayed it until tonight. I sent Collin our decision just now.
Ahhh, I'm so sorry that it has come to this for you. After what seemed to be a consistent down-spiraling, I guess the Golden Trinity really had no other choice. I speak on behalf of everyone when I say it's been great having you participate and your trinities will be missed!
I hope to see you in the thread still and around ATRL, too
As for you other two... step it up! Doogle, your fickle track record is just... something else I don't think you have much to worry about. As for you, MLD, this is your first time in the Flop rankings as well, but we have yet to see you at the top... get there, get there!
Well, everyone else - stay tuned! I'll post highlights / averages momentarily, next round to follow soon
A T R L ' s H O L Y T R I N I T Y Highlights: Round Five
Solopop Midnight Oil ▲ Beds Are Burning Eurythmics ▲ Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves f/Aretha Franklin Redgum ▲ I Was Only 19
Celebrating week #3 in the Golden ranks, Solopop stuns with his potentially best trinity yet.
Interpreting "anger" in an empowering way, each song represents a fight or struggle for certain groups
in society - from the Aborigines of Australia, females around the globe and war veterans.
Each song stuns in its own beautiful and low-key angry way to develop the trinity that acts asa gem this round.
A song with a meaning I love, it's all about how can we just sit by and not accept that Australian Aborigines are deserving of their stolen land to be given back. Such a great angry song that plays into the systemic abuse Australia's first people have face. A great angry song.
When I was thinking of songs I was thinking of songs relating to the oppression of a particular group and that group fighting back and this is the one that just stuck. The incredible feminist anthem in the 80's that makes every girl (and gay) want to scream in every mans face, we're fine on our own get out of our face. Love it, love it, love it!
A political protest song that describes the horrors of the Vietnam war. It's about a soldier who returns home to Australia disillusioned with the cause, psychologically scarred and internally damaged. When sung it doesn't sound angry, but deep down it plants a seed of despair and anger that so many lives were lost in such a stupid war.
TheSeenScene Azealia Banks ▲ Yung Rapunxel 2NE1 ▲ I Hate You Nicki Minaj ▲ Fire Burns
Joining the Golden ranks for the first time this week is TheSeenScene, with a trinity that's
both standard and quite outside-of-the-box "angry". From the screeching and hollering "Yung Rapunxel"
to the low-key, frustrated and heartbroken "Fire Burns", this trinity covers many bases of anger.
Compressed in the center an anthem from K-Pop girl group 2NE1, adding a global element to the trinity
that's both charming and surprisingly fitting.

☣ The Anger Trinity ☣
AZEALIA ☣ YUNG RAPUNXEL
Yung Rapunxel wasn't exactly a smash hit, and a lot of people ended up disliking the song. However with me, it clicked upon first listen. The heavy beat and Azealia's screams in the chorus give me so much life, and work me up so much. It just feels like an angry song, and puts you in a hyped up / angry mood.
2NE1 ☣ HATE YOU
2NE1 really put into words what so many scorned people have wanted to say with 'Hate You'. Someone who cared for you and then did you so wrong, that you feel nothing but hatred and you just want to move on.
[Video with english lyrics here].
"I hate you; I'm fine living without you."
NICKI MINAJ ☣ FIRE BURNS
Fire Burns is one of the unique standouts on PF:RR; it takes an interesting approach at a break-up song. You can just feel the pure hatred and anger coming through the lyrics.
"And so I pray you burn in hell and you never find the ocean".
CrazyCat Nancy Sinatra ▲ These Boots Were Made For Walkin' Lily Allen ▲ F**k You Carly Simon ▲ You're So Vain
Following a minor slump, CrazyCat is back in the Golden ranks and better than ever!
This trinity serves three loud-and-proud females angrily taking charge, not letting themselves be walked on,
but rather... doing the walking themselves! From the empowered "Boots", to the cutesy-romper "F**k You"
to the timeless powerhouse "You're So Vain", this trinity is nowhere near lacking in anger!
In fact, it shows anger as a positive force rather than a negative one, exposing dirt and taking charge.
CrazyCat Entry
Nancy Sinatra ✞ These Boots Are Made for Walkin'
This cocky song form Nancy starts my tinity, because it has grumpy lyrics. "These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you." I always want to do this kind of thing with my boots when someone pisses me off, and makes me angry.
Lily Allen ✞ F**k You
I hate when people tell me what to do with my life. Like my brother he wants me to be just like him, and wants me to do the same thigns as him, but I'm a different person, and I have my own dreams and goals. This song is just a perfect message for people like him. I always turn this song on when he gets on my nerves. So I dedicate this song to him, f**k you.
Carly Simon ✞ You're So Vain
I want to end my trinity with Carly Simon's hit song "You're So Vain" I can't stand vain people, they have no respect for themselves, and they always think that everything you do is for them.
