“#YOLO- You Only Live Once”

The phrase and acronym got swayed into the youth world & created a mass epiphany. Yolo (You Only Live Once) was used in youth culture & music, and was popularized by the 2011 song “The Motto” by Canadian rapper Drake.  As the quote of Mae West says, “You only live once, but if you do It right, once is enough”  we are the people with choices and we own our ship, so why not sail it yourself and do whatever you wish to. The so called youths of the media dominated era soon joined the bandwagons of the enchanted followers by accepting the slogan as their magic spell. This was the chance for the budding youths to grow and show the insane world what rationalism is and how it is defined in their terms. It soon became a predicament for the matured beings as the rational side of the teens gripped an alarming change in behavior.

 The #Yolo again can’t be lashed upon for all the decisions taken by the teenagers from committing mistakes, trying to pull up weird crazy pranks, being reckless and at the end coming up with excuses that life is too short to waste the opportunities. According to them the phrase indicates that our lives have become fragmented are we are riding our lives on the usual monotonous and mechanical paths. They have their own justifications to provide you with a story of their newly found revolution by this phrase “You Only Live Once (#Yolo)” and how they can cherish the present moment and live in present by their change in the system attitude. Twitter overflowed with “#YOLO” as an inspirational axiom, suggesting the lapse of judgment in a sober society. Well Teenage is the time of our lives, we can’t miss the chances of being imprudent, so like the top 10 songs in the chart, the fad is likely to get old and move on. So why not embrace it for some time and get wild.
