She did a hyperpop remix of this a couple years ago and it actually slaps. Link
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
Rebecca Black and Monica Lewinsky must co-own a damn lemonade factory. Out here turning lemons into lemonade like it's just business.
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.
These old memes caused me to briefly forget how out of touch I am with today's youth. Thanks for reigning me in.
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.
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
