      I understand musicians who get sick of a song and want to distance themselves from it.

      I also understand musicians who never get sick of cashing that sweet nostalgia check.

      And I *definitely* understand someone who was mercilessly mocked and derided as a child now taking back control of it and *getting paid*.

      Let’s be real, if you’re going to see Rebecca Black, you’re going to hear Friday

      Win-win for everyone

      Walked in as she was playing it and it was a vibe in there. She was great and very much deserves to stay in the music industry. Plus, it was extra nice to see someone eviscerated by the media machine recoup herself like that.

      Who goes to a Rebecca Black show and doesn’t want to hear her sing Friday? It’s such a camp and nostalgic song and I’m glad Rebecca is in a place where she’s happy about it after all the internet hate when she was a teenager.

      Honestly, love this for her. She’s managed to turn from that song that was mocked by the entire internet without mercy into having an actual career. 👏👏👏

      Meaning she doesn’t give a shit if the song sucks badly as long the big money comes in. It’s like working at a shit job but once the paycheck comes, we keep coming back to the shit job.

      Understandable in her situation.

      she taught us the days of the week and the importance of not bullying children, do what you want rebecca

      I will die on this hill: her music the last 5 years has been really good. Unabashedly queer, 80s synthwave & hyperpop, great visuals. Love that she didn’t let the industry break her and became a good artist in her own right.

      I feel bad for how awful everyone was to her about that song.

      I literally don’t think I would have survived that much criticism and hate at her age.

      Listen It went from big cliche to kinda internet nostalgia iconic. At this point If she still can make money on it good for her. At least she is getting bag after all the hate she was getting as a teen.

      This song was it back in the day. I was unashamed of my love for it in high school and best believe I bumped it on a Friday in the senior parking lot

      I mean i get it. She was a child who was endlessly harassed and bullied for that song. People online wrote they’ll either kill her or she should kill herself, and she was TWELVE. She can play it as much as she wants.

      It’s crazy how unhinged people, especially adults, were about bullying actual children not too long ago. I just want to go back in time and protect her and Honey Boo-Boo (who was a literal 1st grader being bullied by fully-grown adults).

      I love her! Her music is actually really good. I’m so glad she has been able to recover from the insane amount of harassment she faced

      It’s amazing, if “Friday” was released today in 2024, it wouldn’t even be in the top 2 million cringiest things online

      Honestly, I think that’s such a healthy mentality to have. Tommy Wissau was the same way. He embraced his audience and they embraced him.

      I saw her in concert at a smaller venue and I was fucking blown away at her stage presence, really really amazing show, she did the Friday remix as her encore and the vibes were immaculate

      With how much she got bullied and mocked for “Friday” I’m glad she’s been able to flip a profit. She was a teenager who got scammed by a shady record producer and made a laughable pop song. The internet took that as an invitation to make fun of her. Get your bag and your redemption arc Rebecca!

    44. attackedmoose on

      Well, I mean, the entire internet decided it was ok to bully a 13 year old girl. I don’t blame her.

    45. DeusLibidine on

      Look, sometimes you just gotta get that check, and if its working, why stop? Sure, I won’t be going to her concert, but that don’t matter, what matters is Someone will, a lot of someones, and she got bills to pay.
