Concert Review: LANY Are Romantic Geniuses At Terminal 5
This review begins with a bathroom story. Sold out at Terminal 5, LANY’s crowd was jittering for their arrival as if anticipation was the emotional equivalent to too much caffeine. Thus, one girl/ new LANY inductee asked her friend why was she such a big fan. The fan’s response, “I don’t know. It’s like there songs are always sad. Even though it’s like, “Dude, you have a girlfriend!” In that basic, bathroomed definition, the genius of LANY was revealed to me.
The brilliance of LANY is that they are a band of men singing to love as if they are the only guys who want relationships, and women are simply not for monogamy. ABSOLUTE GENIUS! They have flipped the script, and skyrocketed a massive, female following by appearing to women as the offerers of what we have always wanted: a good, gorgeous guy that desires a serious love. In making ladies, the ones that are playing games, their female fans started saying things that we are used to men telling us so as to seduce us into relationships like, “I’m not like the others!” and “I would never break your heart!”

LANY switched the stereotype, gendered roles of love and heartbreak by giving themselves the part of “girl with broken heart,” and us the “guy who breaks it.” Hence, their show was surprisingly empowering, obviously appealing, and twistingly education in allowing women to feel like men have hearts, and they can give it to us. Ultimately, we adore men that effeminately sing to romance because it proves mutual emotionality. Thus, the night was abuzz with LANY’s lyrics; as if their verses were being spritzed into the air like perfume. You could smell the flowering dreams of women who fantasized about “healing” Paul Jason Klein’s jaded, but commonly understood heartbreak.

Paul Jason Klein made me reminisce on all the boy band leads we have loved: from Justin Timberlake to Paul McCartney. Every woman has and will know what it feels like to invest in the “us” of a relationship while her man only invests in the “him.” Though PJK was singing about his own experiences, the entire room sang tracks like, “4EVER!,” “If You See Her,” “The Breakup,” and “Thru These Tears,” as if it was a public karaoke event on female heartbreak.
