Now this is a class that everyone is going to want to take. A university in Texas has announced it will be offering a course based on the work of singer Harry Styles from 2023. The course, titled Harry Styles and the Cult of Celebrity: Identity, the Internet, and European Pop Culture, will be on offer at Texas State University Honors College in San Marcos from next spring. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, the course will focus on the pop star’s work, both in music and film, in order to “understand the cultural and political development of the modern celebrity.”
Harry Styles Is The Subject Of A New University Course In Texas
Dr Louie Dean Valencia announced the news on Twitter, citing it as the first course of its kind. Dr Valencia wrote: “It’s official, official. I’m the world’s first ever university course on the work of #HarryStyles. It’s happening Spring 2023 at @TXST University. This is what tenure looks like. Let’s gooooo!”
He also shared the course description, which reads: “This course focuses on British musician Harry Styles and popular European culture to understand the cultural and political development of the modern celebrity as related to questions of gender and sexuality, race, class, nation and globalism, media, fashion, fan culture, internet culture, and consumerism.”
Back in October, Harry confirmed a popular theory about the meaning of the title of his hit song “Watermelon Sugar.” “This song is about. It doesn’t really matter what it’s about,” he teased to the audience. He continued, “It’s about, uh, the sweetness of life.” He then had the crowd sing a few lines with him before finally admitting, “It’s also about the female orgasm but that’s totally different, it’s not really relevant,” prompting fans to erupt in cheers.
In case you need a refresher, the song’s lyrics include: “I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it / Watermelon sugar high” and “Tastes like strawberries / On a summer evenin’ / And it sounds just like a song / I want your belly / And that summer feelin’ / I don’t know if I could ever go without.”
