但从我接触他来看，我的微信朋友圈、微博、qq空间里发图最多的就是他，与各种人的见面吃饭、大事小事都不断的晒上来，让我一度以为他不过是个有名无实的功利之徒。但就此他的回复一直就一句话：“没办法” “这没办法，你只能这样。”这种心态和行为的转变，让我想起了李志。也想起了《致青春》里最后郑微对陈孝正揶揄的那句话：“真可笑，一个人果然会变成他讨厌的样子。”正如他自己说，没准什么时候他也变成了某大学的教授了呢。But who knows？谁也不知道这样的变化是好是坏，但不论变成什么，都是有它的原因的。
Bad Girl是宋洋持续创作的一个动漫形象，给人的感觉是神秘、冷艳、色情又妩媚。在他的理解里，bad girl是中国社会转型进程中都市物质化女孩的缩影。在他看来，这种表面上比较萌、略带情色、外表漂亮的形象下，其实反映更多的是当下青年动荡不安的内心。
