Super pick me. Then the girl ends up pregnant and the guy becomes famous 🙄🙄🙄

It’s like “she should’ve lowered her standards to stay with the skater boi”

The problems is that girls grew up listening to that type of song, just like Disney movies and other pathetic love stories that will never happen in real life, that “love conquers all” etc etc

The whole media is filled with pickme agenda. Men control everything movies, music, books. I can't even watch a music video without getting my screen covered with booty shots.

Yeah, like sure, Avril, every weird guy is going to be famous.

The "I want to be your girlfriend" is hideous too.

I recently was listening to Ashnikko and absolutely loved her version:

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What the fuck does it matter anyway?

He didn't try to make her cum
On top of all that, he was a little dumb
Honestly, she was better off alone
Now he's breathing down the phone

He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She's not a therapist
Don't wanna take care of him
She's an independent girl

If that's not FDS I don't know what is.

I was 18 or 19 when it came out; could definitely feel what ended up being later called (by Red Dorks) "Dread Game" from that song. Awful, plus gets stuck in your head.

This is the best response to it

Yeah, this song, and the song “girlfriend” seem extremely pick me. I do believe she was fairly young (17?) when she started her professional music career so it’s possible she was just a kid when she wrote that song and has since matured, or that it’s the label wanting her to project a certain image and she doesn’t hold those beliefs herself. Of course that doesn’t change the message that gets sent to her fans.

I remember as a kid my dad made a big deal of showing me her music and videos to be like “here’s a woman who’s talented and isn’t taking her clothes off so she must be a good influence” but honestly those pick me messages in songs (not just hers) are still harmful for young girls to internalize, just in a different way than the overly sexualized content.
