I found this one under the carpet. Someone had swept it under. Possibly she herself. If you don’t know this face, you’re in luck. You’ll get to experience it all anew. Click here.
Her career has turned truly interesting. She gained unintentional fame for doing a music video as a birthday present from her parents that was produced by a production company that boardered on exploitative. She for bullied online somewhat constantly from then on for something she really hadn’t asked for everyone to see, and has since reclaimed her image and that song and is now comfortably paying the bills making pop songs
Even when it first happened, she leaned into it and capitalized on it really well. I remember CollegeHumor did a whole fantastic “Black Friday” parody thing featuring her not long after the video went viral.
I actually feel really bad for her. She was a child. She didn’t know what she was doing. And sure, it’s a bad song, but is it bad enough for her to deserve PTSD? For her to deserve being hounded and haunted her whole life? She’s a human being, after all.
Recently I listened to it after a decade of hiatus. It actually aged well and cemented my thought that “old songs are better” are part nostalgia, part changing tastes.
Yeah it’s not the best song in the world but it’s catchy and kinda fun. I can definitely see why some people would say it’s annoying but there’s a reason it went viral.
To me it’s no better or worse than anything on radio. At least this song is memorable and fun. Which is already better than half the shite out there.
Glad she was able to own it and triumph over the bullying. (From the looks of it)

Voidrays!
Nerd Alert!
Their parody songs were pretty cool.
She did a hyperpop remix of this a couple years ago and it actually slaps. Link
OK but that was actually kinda fire. I hadn’t heard the original song since high school and this is better
She got Dorian Electrified and I’m living for it.

Rebecca Black and Monica Lewinsky must co-own a damn lemonade factory. Out here turning lemons into lemonade like it’s just business.
Maybe I just haven’t watched a music video in a really long time, but that was fucking wierd.
Welcome to the world of hyperpop, it only gets weirder from here
These old memes caused me to briefly forget how out of touch I am with today’s youth. Thanks for reigning me in.
We we so excited
Dang it, I might have to rewatch Brock’s Dub now.
My wife woke me up this morning by singing this song and squeezing my face to make it look like I was the one singing it.
I’m pretty sure that’s ground for divorce where you keep the kids and all the money.
My hand is a dolphin
I’m 13 years old and driving!
Gotta get down on Friday.

Probably not. It’s how society do.
You missed a bracket
Like, the music video was a birthday present to her, and was published by the producer. Iirc she didn’t even make any money from it
Have you checked out her recent music? She even “remastered” Friday. It’s fantastic, she is the truest embodiment of the word girlboss
Huh? She still performs the heck outta this song. Her albums are fantastic. She seems to really be thriving.
This song is in my head every friday. It has flaws, but it’s also great in its own way.

I love this song. Really!

I actually post this song every Friday at 07:00 on my Twitter.
