Stupid girls
Stupid girls
Maybe if I act like that
That guy will call me back
Porno paparazzi girls
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Go to Fred Segal, you'll find them there
Laughing loud, so all the little people stare
Looking for a daddy, to pay for the champagne
Droppin' names
What happened to the dream of a girl president
She's dancing in the video next to 50 cent
They travel in packs of two and three
With their itsy bitsy doggies, and their teeny-weeny tees
Where, oh where, have the smart people gone
Where, oh where could they be
Maybe if I act like that
That guy will call me back
Porno paparazzi girls
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Maybe if I act like that
Flippin' my blond hair back
Push up my bra like that
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Break it down, now
The disease is growing, it's epidemic
I'm scared that there ain't a cure
The world believes it, and I'm going crazy
I cannot take any more
I'm so glad that I'll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That's what I wanna see (c'mon)
Disaster's all around
A world of despair
Your only concern
Will they fuck up my hair

In "Stupid Girls" by P!nk, the singer critiques and satirizes the behavior of young women who conform to societal expectations and engage in superficial activities in order to please men. P!nk sings about the way these "stupid girls" act in hopes of winning a man's attention or affection, even at the expense of their own well-being and self-respect. She references the "porno paparazzi girls" who are often seen in tabloid magazines and the media, and the way they are obsessed with their looks, clothing, and accessories. P!nk contrasts this with the image of a "girl president," which represents a more progressive and intelligent role model for young women.
P!nk's song is also a commentary on the toxic celebrity culture that values fame and attention above all else. She mentions 50 Cent, a popular rapper known for his controversial lyrics and flashy lifestyle, and critiques the way women are portrayed in music videos and the media. P!nk encourages young women to reject these harmful stereotypes and instead embrace their individuality and ambition.

I think the issue is that from that perspectiv it was of course "revolutionary" at the time. But it didn't age well because there was a bigger reason why this was even a thing. Most women who became stars only were able to do so by sedually objectifying themselves (P!nk included!!!) and while that is what people wanted to see, there was the double standard that women were shamed for using their sexuality so they were already perceived as dumb to begin with. Since they were not for real dumb they at least played their cards as there was no winning anyway and ended up giving the people what they wanted and monetized that.
And of course adding Paris' sextape is now again super screwed up cause we all know she was a victim of something horrific while it was yet not even illegal to do publicize revenge porn back in the day (see documentary of Hunter Moore) and the women again were ridiculed and portrayed as used up and nasty and STUPID for daring to ever videotape or take pictures of themselves like that.
So from todays pov it's just showing how misogynistic the world has been. She was pointing out the problem but it comes off as putting the blame on them and shaming them, when for real they just went a different route than her to deal with the worlds misogyny.
This was during a time when it was completelx acceptable to touch a female stars boobs in an interview asking if they were real, calling people scellettons or fat and asking underage stars wether they were still virgins when they should be interviewed about their careers.
I really am still shocked to think about how screwed up it was to grow up with the media of that time as a women
@somabalestra1131
@@natarixo9965 But she directed her criticism towards certain female celebrities who were bullied by the media everywhere at that time, especially Lindsy Lohan cause she is kind of irrelavent now. All these female celelbrities that she spoofed (Paris, Lindsy, Jessica) were the product of the pressure female celebrities had to endure in order to "make it", even talented actresses can't get away with it. You can't blame them for trying so hard to succeed, the media was really brutal to female celelbrities in the early 00s, it's similar to the toxicity of the Kpop industry today where idols have to fit the strict Korean beauty standards to get popular to the point that some companies forces their idols to undergo plastic surgery.
I wish she made fun of the producers, film directers, the toxic paparazi's invading their privacy and the over dramatic tabloids that made false rumers instead of making fun of these vulnerable girls. She made fun of Paris Hilton's revenge porn tape when she was only 19 and naive, that's fvcked up. I was kind of disppointed in Pink for that, she is definitely not a pickme as the comments suugest but she lacked empathy. I think she matured and regrets making that MV.
In my opinion, Taylor Swift-The Man did a better job capturing the feeling female celebrities go thrugh but the roles were flipped to male celelbrities in the MV. Very brilliant! Too bad it got a lot of hate.
Sorry for the long pose. Peace!
@lmamd87
I remember an interview with her about it and she said she wasn’t calling any of the people actually stupid but that the were acting stupid in order to please men.
