Rebecca Black’s new single “Friday” has become the next big thing for teens to make fun of and hate with a passion. Right after the video aired, Facebook groups were made such as “That awkward moment when Rebecca Black doesn’t know which seat to take” and “Getting down on Friday” to allow people to express their extreme dislike toward her and her song.
The most repelling thing about the song is perhaps the horrible auto-tuned voice, or maybe the fact that she repeats the days of the week as if we don’t know that Friday comes after Thursday and then Saturday then Sunday. Another thing that makes people cringe when they see the music video is that it tries to get away with the fact that there is a thirteen year old driving the car, and worse yet there is a rapper about three times the kids’ age with them and partying with them.
This girl is obviously just trying to be the next Justin Beiber or Miley Cyrus. But that will never happen because she will never match up to them or even get a fraction of the popularity that they have attained. At this point she is just another wannabe kid pop star who is headed nowhere in her singing career.
However, as many people mock this childish and ridiculous song about a thirteen teen year old who is excited about Fridays, the kinds of music that most teens today find more appealing may not be much better than this. Songs about drugs, alcohol, and meaningless sexual behavior could be considered stupid and ridiculous too. I find it odd that many teens find a song about Fridays stupid, but find songs about inappropriate things more interesting. Sure the “Friday” song is innocent, happy, and empty in real meaning, but how is a song about clubs and drugs much better in value and richness?
