Having a "B-side" [closed]

"Everyone has a B-side, tell us a little bit about yours."

What does B-side mean in this context? I tried searching the web, but could only find record-related results.


Solution 1:

This is a metaphorical use of the "a-side/b-side" description of vinyl singles which is being applied to an individual's psychology.

Your "a-side" is the person you present to the public as the popular, likeable you. It is the person that attempts to look their best and who makes a conscious effort to be sociable and popular with your friends.

Your "b-side" is the unadorned, uncensored you. The secret you.

So while your a-side is busy telling everyone how much you hate Donald Trump, your b-side is screaming "build the wall".

Solution 2:

I think it refers to the figurative meaning of B-side: (also flip side)

  • the less important side of a single (= a record containing one song on each side)

that is:

  • an opposite, reverse, or sharply contrasted side or aspect of something or someone.
