Cuteness is a subjective term describing a type of attractiveness commonly associated with youth and appearance, as well as a scientific concept and analytical model in ethology, first introduced by Konrad Lorenz. Lorenz proposed the concept of baby schema (Kindchenschema), a set of facial and body features, that make a creature appear "cute" and activate ("release") in others the motivation to care for it. Cuteness may be ascribed to people as well as things that are regarded as attractive or charming.
Doug Jones, a visiting scholar in anthropology at Cornell University, said that the proportions of facial features change with age due to changes in hard tissue and soft tissue, and Jones said that these "age-related changes" cause juvenile animals to have the "characteristic 'cute' appearance" of proportionately smaller snouts, higher foreheads and larger eyes than their adult counterparts. In terms of hard tissue, Jones said that the neurocranium grows a lot in juveniles while the bones for the nose and the parts of the skull involved in chewing food only reach maximum growth later. In terms of soft tissue, Jones said that the cartilaginous tissues of the ears and nose continue to grow throughout a person's lifetime, starting at age twenty-five the eyebrows descend on the "supraorbital rim" from a position above the supraorbital rim to a position below it, the "lateral aspect of the eyebrows" sags with age, making the eyes appear smaller, and the red part of the lips gets thinner with age due to loss of connective tissue.
Before I'll Die is the second studio album by Polish band Blog 27, which was released on 18 April 2008.
All the songs on the album were written and co-produced by the lead singer and co-founder of the band - Tola Szlagowska. The first single promoting the album was "Cute (I'm Not Cute)" which became a huge hit in Poland. Music from Before I'll Die was featured in a popular Polish TV series 39 i pół, aired on major TV station TVN, in which Tola played one of the key characters.
Cuteness is a form of attractiveness associated with youthful traits.
Cute may refer to:
I don't know what it is
That all the girls see in you
They say you're everything
That I could ever want
Not true
I ain't really into
The egotistic type
Despite what all the girls say
I don't believe the hype
Now I know what you're thinkin'
A word that ends in "x"
Your mother should have taught you
To show some more respect
I hate to be the one
To ruin all your fun
You really ain't that
Cute
[You ain't that cute, you ain't that cute, no]
I wish you'd understand
I've never been a fan
You really ain't that
Cute
kiss
You try to get to me
With a very, very tired rap
Just face reality
Or else you're gonna get a slap
You're starting to annoy me
Who do you think you are
You want to take me out
But you don't even have a car
You really are conceited
You swear that you're the best
But don't you even feel it
To me, you're just a pest
I hate to be the one
To ruin all your fun
You really ain't that
Cute
[You ain't that cute, you ain't that cute, no]
