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.
What’s funny is that she just reacted to this video not that long ago and she said “I love making fun of people 😂 I also love making fun of myself... hahaha, I’m such an asshole” we have no choice but to stan.
The song holds the message of girls being valuable individuals as they are without changing themselves under the pressure of mainstream standards, which can make you stray away from what you originally want and damage you, it was really empowering and confidence boosting to listen to it as a little girl, still does
Nah, its just the ultimate nOt LiKe ThE oThEr GirLs anthem. Making fun of eating disorders, of Paris Hilton being a victim of revenge porn when her sex tape was leaked and just girl who want to be feminine is not empowering. Im glad feminism moved away from girly = bad and sporty = good.
Yeah she talks about how Paris confronted her about the song, and Paris said "I'm not really stupid, I just act stupid". And Pink was like that's the point of the song.
Not to be and only ACT?? nobody can show herself a stupid if she is not really a stupid. To spend all life as stupid thing its not normal for person, even u think its only your role for money.
This woman was my role model growing up, i discovered her music when i was 11, no one understood why i looked up to her. She made me feel confident enough to be comfortable with being an outsider. I am who I am because when everyone was pushing me to be a normal, feminine girl, she made me feel comfortable being a tomboy. When i hated myself for not being able to fit in with the other girls, when i got bullied at school, when my mother couldn't accept me being gay, her music made me feel like i wasn't alone, her music gave me strength. I'm 23 now, I still look up to her and I still love her music. I have so much respect for this Woman.
I don’t understand how or why your mum couldn’t accept you being gay. If my daughter was gay or bisexual, it wouldn’t make any difference to me. It doesn’t change who she is or how much I love her.
What stuck with me most about this is she says "I'm so glad that I'll never fit in that will never be me, outcasts and girls with ambition that's what I want to see" has always been the best line of this song
Yep, always inspires me to study harder than ever to pass my exams with flying colours. I'm not a sports kinda girl, but I have great ambition for filming and that line always keeps me going to achieve my dream of getting into the film industry.
Y'all have to understand that in the 2000s, the height of the "bimbo starlet" had the world in a chokehold. Pink's not criticizing their femininity or sex appeal, she's criticizing their facade; hiding their intelligence to come off as submissive or "cute" for lucrative gain. The damage is young girls watching shows like The Simple Life and aspiring to become that unaware that it's an act. If anything, this song is much more relevant now than ever especially with the current artifice of social media "influencers". The message still stands the same as in 2006; we should aspire for more rather than shallow, inauthentic appeal.
And she's being critical of that culture that bullied and attacked whoever didn't conform. The youngsters didn't live those awful times so they don't understand the context.
So including them having an ED is supposed to do what exactly? Also, who are you to tell someone how they should live their life? Little girls being influenced by these “bimbos” is something parents should be worried about, not you or Miss P!nk. If I were born a woman, I would be acting like Paris Hilton so I could get that bag. Fuck being a President for a shitty country that can’t even let women have rights to their own body. 🤣
Uncharted Raider pink said this song is about stupid women who do shit to please men. People aren't stupid for getting surgery or dressing a certain way. If it makes someone happy who the fuck am I to judge??
The lyrics literally say "maybe if I ACT like that", it's not, and has never been, an attack on being a 'girly girl' - it's about being FAKE to get attention. In other words: it's ok to be a tomboy, it doesn't make you any less of a woman, and it's also ok to be feminine, just don't reduce yourself into thinking your worth relies - entirely - on your sex appeal. It doesn't.
Ok, when a guy acts fake that okay? You’re alright with being fake with females. Though when ya females do it. We’re either sluts, Thots, or fake. Like, instead of making them have to think that if they needed to act that way. Maybe they wouldn’t have to change. Change isn’t being fake honestly, change is adapting so they can be accepted. I can also see the point why you feel you have to call people ‘FAKE’ though when a guy gets mad for a girl who doesn’t have a butt or boobs, they know they can’t exactly change that in seconds. You don’t always see guys getting attacked by they’re appearance and how they act. Though yeah, you probably haven’t been in a situation like this to understand majority of the people here. So you should stop calling them fake just because of one day they’re this and then the next that. Like think why the person is acting that way instead of immediately going off at them.
I’m listening to this at 36, and realizing how much it helped me stay real and independent in my younger years. Thank you PINK! We need to bring this song back. Girls younger and younger are wearing makeup and getting Botox because it’s marketed toward them.
It's okay to be girly, I think this video is just a reminder to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Don't throw away your personality/ambition, especially to become some guy's object.
she had a good idea, but the video is a mess From internalized misogyny, to jokes about eating disorders, to stereotyping women, this video appeals more to the patriarchy than it does feminism. "It's okay to label and shame women cause they already do it to themselves"
@@Melissa31832 It's called a parody. She is using stereotypes on purpose, to criticize the behavior of some girls who dumb themselves down to please men and seek popularity. Those girls only reinforce patriarchal values. Everyone should be held accountable for their stupid actions. Women included.
This song isn’t insulting girls just because they change themselves, it’s insulting girls who change themselves just to get attention from men. It’s encouraging girls being true to themselves and what they really want.
I definitely agree that this has beeeeeeeennnnnnnnn relevant, though it wasn't ahead of it's time... It's just still happening unfortunately. Maybe even worse now! Cause now we know it's not just girls😅
Nah, its just the ultimate nOt LiKe ThE oThEr GirLs anthem. Making fun of eating disorders, of Paris Hilton being a victim of revenge porn when her sex tape was leaked and just girl who want to be feminine is not empowering. Im glad feminism moved away from girly = bad and sporty = good.
It's how society was then and is even more prevalent now. Its even worse because you have onlyfans models making millions while hard working intelligent women make nothing. Bimboness is being celebrated so of course women will use it to make money. No shame to them take advantage of the men causing society to be this way by all means... but it doesn't make it right or fair. It's harder now to be woman, or at least as bad, more importantly a woman outside society's beauty standards, then it was in the 50s.
Sad thing is is that today compared to some instagram models paris is considered a prude. Think about that for a second. We have gone lower than Paris hilton, the blondest blonde of all time.
@@sominboy2757 it's funny because yall are all saying be yourself and be nice and all this fake bullshit that you dont really believe in cause all of yall are judging, criticizing, and talking about the "Instagram models". Does whatever they do make them bad people? Does it make them any less human? What does anyone in this comment section get from this? Will it change the people you're talking about? And what's wrong with paris Hilton? Is it because she's rich and she knows it? Shes pretty and expresses it? She likes to dress up? Who is she hurting? Is it wrong? And all the other women or men you all are judging what about them?
Wow…. i really needed to watch this video and listen to this song again. It rings true now more than ever. The length us women go through and the way we need to act to “keep men” is so unreal sometimes, I’m so happy this song reminds us to keep it real and to never act “stupid” just to please a guy. Cheers to all the strong ladies out there keeping it reel 🍻
To understand the message of this song you need to know about what was happening at that moment, beauty was about being extremely skinny, eating disorders were just a way "to lose weight", etc., this song was so powerful back then because girls used to think they weren't beautiful if they weren't extremely skinny, so they would just do things to get famous, it didn't matter if they needed to have eating disorders or to do "stupid things" just to be famous. That's what the song is about, so please stop saying this song is judging women because it's not.
The message is important but it's still shaming women imo. It was the trend back then, so I'm not judging, but she really dissed all those girls, calling them stupid, making fun of what they were doing. If back then, it was not offensive because young girls surely needed models that were not Paris, Lindsey or Britney, now, knowing what some of them have been through, it's fair to say that the song was insensitive. It's like when we watch old clips from American TV shows, making fun of them. The whole industry was really messed up, the gossip magazines, the paps... everyone was part of the problem. So it's good, imo, to come back to this music video to see how everything has changed and to accept that this song, today, was part of the problem too.
Why wouldn't you judge women if they do stupid things for attention? I find it reasonable to be told when i'm doing something stupid. Political correctness isn't helping anyone. It just enables insecurity and insecurity leads to being hurt( by yourself or men).
I love this song and the music video, since I was a Teenager. It helped me to understand that it's great to be what you are and not to clone yourself to be something, or someone that you don't want to be. That's why I love Pink ❤
like others have stated, this was pre-body positivity, no fat shaming, etc. time. those in the comments bashing probably aren't old enough to remember or weren't even born during this period in time. while watching the video i can literally see the references she is making (jessica in the daisy duke's washing the car, paris in her "home" video, etc).
I think this video is still viable today because people are so sensitive. I’ve also seen people in the comments changing the meaning because they think that the point of view on society now is the same as then, and it wasn’t. Times have changed and the meaning of some words and actions have changed but at the time this was meant to be a slap in the face to the stupid girls. Most people need to remember the context of when this was posted. The only women who were famous at the time were indeed these ‘stupid girls’ so she’s just trying to prove that you don’t need to dumb yourself down to do well and be a good person.
I'm sorry your favorite song has aged like milk. Sincerely, an oversensitive snowflake who was 13 when this was popular and thought it was the pinnacle of social commentary.
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
Reminds me of this quote: "Unfollow IG models and influencers. Start following artists and designers. Your entire outlook on life will change. You will be reminded less of your insecurities. You will be reminded more of what you love about what humans are capable of creating."
Truth. I follow doctors, nurses, moms, other inspirational people. Being a Millennial, I've seen the rise & fall of celebrities & influencers. It's so important to be level headed & not fall in the trap of false realities. Social media allows you to control what people see.
I agree but Maybe not have social media at all and know your worth what your capable of period is a way to go all I got is UA-cam and Pinterest haven’t had Facebook in over a year, instagram, stop using Snapchat 3 months ago you actually see life without these social media stuff.
Request addressed to P!nk: Please bring back this kind of attitude and sound🙏🙏🙏Us mature ladies (50+) and young girls need all that was on this album and more. Love and blessings to you!
This video and song had a huge effect on me as a young pre-teen owning this album back then. It's one of those influences that helped me become the me I am now. Don't try to be who you are not. No need to change yourself and who you are to get approval from others. Thank you, Pink.
i think pink is an excelent role model but if a girl is a "stupid girl" then isn't she allowed to live it that way?. although you could also say tha women are conditioned to be "stupid girls". not on purpose but you don't have to look hard to find the differences in the toys directed at boys and girls of a young age and maybe we should make an effort to incourage children to be who they feel they are regardless of the media.
I made a comment here 2 yrs ago. & I didn't even want to read it. The only excuse I wanna pull out my ass is that I just hope I was tired. Whoever made up feminism needs to just no. Feminism is just being a female. Really, that's gotta be the literal definition. No, I didn't Google it. Now, it just seems like a way to divide genders & even put females against females. All I know is I don't have the muscles or testoron guys have. & I don't go out of my way to bash other females. Oh yeah, I feel like this video is just hipercritical. Even tho the intent was to empower females... You can't really do it by bashing the other ones. Also, she's done a lot of the same things other females have done. It really just looks like she's doing a parody of herself, ironically. What ever happened to girl president? ...She's dancing in the video next to 50 ¢... 🙋 Me but not really. But sort of
It's nice to come back after all these years and listen to this song again. Back when I was a kid, I loved the song because it sounded nice and the music video was funny, but being non-English speaker, I didn't understand a single word. Now I get to enjoy not only the music, but the meaning of the lyrics too 😊
This song was so empowering as a young girl. The world wouldn’t be the same without Pink. She changed the game and brought women to where they are today.
@ramcurequeeny I didn’t make it seem like there are only hyper feminine girls and the truth is most girls are well in between hyper feminine and tomboyish. I mean that there are girl who are shamed by society for liking girly things and this song isn’t helping.
@@totalweirdo6 Omg who the hell cares. You people need to shut the hell up about how offended you are by everything. No one gives a shit how the song made you feel. Go listen to something else. There's plenty of songs out there for super feminine girly girls. At this point you're all complaining just for the sake of complaining. This song is 15 years old. Talking about "there are girls shamed by society because of things like this" 🙄🤦♀️ you're ridiculous.
@ramcurequeeny tomboy here. Sure, people have been rude to me. But that doesn’t make it okay to hate on a girl for being very feminine. That isn’t okay either
I grew up listening to Pink and she’s still killing it. I bet she’s a Kickass mom. An still one of my favorite artists from the 00’s. A plus. You go Girl.
I totally agree Pink is great and this song sends a message for young girls out there and they don't have be like Paris Hilton and Be Smart Strong and Successful and I know that Pink was angry at Miley Cryus and so was Cher b/c of her Twerking on the MTV awards when she was dancing around Robin Thicke.
People fail to realize that this song doesn't mock pretty and/or blond women who like doing their make up and dressing up. This song mocks egoistic and shallow women who equate ditziness w/ sexiness and have no goals in life.
Zeynep Kıymet yeah, we get that, but it all gets negated when she trivialises bulimia and the end clip insinuates that choosing a football over a doll is 'smarter'. I love Pink, but this video could have been SO much better in execution
I actually thought that she criticizes the media (and society) with this song. How women are portrayed in tv and that many women feel obligated to act like that because otherwise they’re not girly enough, not sexy enough, not desirable enough, not enough. At the end the girl knows she supposed to play with the dolls (because society) but she has enough self-confidence to pick the football. I don’t think they wanted to insinuate that playing with dolls is bad but I agree they could’ve handled it a bit different, e.g. the girl taking both toys.
@Kathy Schiebel I saaaiiidd shut up fool. " )) I love it on here because you ALL have NO IDEA how life truly works. Girls, jobs, money, family...its funny how religions, education system, medical industry, governments, social medias etc....have all dumb everybody down to their insecurity levels. Its nothing to do with being nice respectful wealthy looks or any of that bullshit. You can walk in a room say nothing and attract everyone in there. ITS CALLED VIBRATION AND ENERGY OF LOVE> Check that everyday and you attract all good things....hhmmm yes including girls/women. But if youre an ashole, you attract the asholes of the world hmm yes, including girls. Your world mirrors back to you what you are projecting out with your energy and vibration. So just enjoy and have fun, dont take shit too seriously or you'll get cancer, or hmmm yes girls too.
@Kathy Schiebel Oh and btw.....winning the approval of any girl/woman is like locking yourself in an underwater prison full of hungry angry sharks and swallowing the key. Men have figured out that you must find love for self first, THEN you will know you dont need a girl or woman after all. So get over yourself and do it NOW!!!
y’all are completing missing the meaning of the song. she’s saying you don’t have to dumb yourself down to get people to love you. it’s not being misogynistic.
The same girls who used to bully girls like pink are now using words like misogyny to put the same girls down as adults. They didn't grow up they used different language to to do the same as they did in high school. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
The fact that one of the reasons that made P!nk wrote that song was because people said she was "too masculine" because of her looks and personality and that she should fit in with the standards of other girls in the industry... Literally is criticizing the pressures and beauty standards that girls had in the 2000s
@@barblenatortwt4971 rightfully so? I'm pretty far left and now these days SJWs and fake woke people will bash anything they want because they feel like it.
Yeah, she probably would be. I used to love this song but it just comes across as mean-spirited now that I've grown up and know better. This song doesn't even describe girls being dumb, it just describes girls wanting to look sexy, and there's nothing wrong with girls like that. They certainly aren't inherently dumb.
@@aarishowton8037 Theres a difference between people who want actual social justice and social progress and there's those who will get butthurt because they have too much time on their hands and a stick up their butt. P!NK has such a good message in this video and people immediately zoom in on non-existent issues in the video.
“Maybe if I act like that, this guy would call me back” this has never shocked me to the core more then now because it’s so true sometimes especially when I was growing up. Pink has always been so good
I've always been a super smart person, but when I was a teenager I would act like a dumb blonde in front of guys so they wouldn't feel intimidated by me and it's sad to say I was very well liked by the teenage boys at the time. It worked. I'm glad I've grown up and realized it's much better to be your true authentic self than to do something to make yourself more attractive to people - and shockingly enough, guys still like me now.
I heard some people complain about this song/vid. But as a woman in my late 20s I want to say that this song reallly helped me in my teens. In the 2000s it wasn't as accepted to be an outsider as a girl. you could listen to p!nk and avril lavigne and dress up in punk, but you had to deal with beeing an outcast, and boy, you really had to be skiny ... so happy that that`s over. And I love this song.
Pink really made a great statement with this song. How many of us women have grown up feeling at one time or another the whole " I'd rather be thought of as pretty than smart" nonsense??? It actually takes some courage to just be yourself and be comfortable with who you are sometimes rather than spending hours trying on the latest fashions and more hours in front of the mirror messing around with hairstyles and makeup. It's okay to want to look good, but I always love it when someone says I look great when I'm not "all dolled up" as they saying goes.
hopefully red I realised that when I turned 15 :) and choose to become a doctor and not take the path of ' pretty girls are dumb ' someone gotta fix this messed up stereotype girl!
hopefully red No I don't think so, I kinda disagree with the song in certain parts. Just cuz a girl wears makeup and heels and shows skin doesn't mean she's doing it for a man. Maybe she feels confident like that, and it's hard to go out and dress all "girly girl" when society thinks it makes you a "stupid girl". But other than that I think this is a very good song.
You can be yourself. Sure. That doesn't mean ppl aren't gonna stop testing you tho. And for their entertainment... You gotta switch it up. I don't mean entertainment as some simple sh to view either....
Before some closed-minded feminist makes another comment, the video is not about being FEMININE or GIRLY, it is about females altering their body image to look pleasing in societies eyes, being thin, sexy, overly-provocative is something society promotes, P!nk is talking about the girls that are following that trend, and not being themselves.
Totally agree! P!nk sings about the fact that girls follow the norms and values of our society. Images they have to conform to in order to get respect and attention, for example being tan, thin,... The title of the song may not be the best decision though, because you can not only blame the girls but also society who creates these stupid norms (for example the fashion industry who promotes slenderness). People judge other people constantly and for that reasons girls follow these norms and by consequence want to be tan and thin. So maybe stupid society would have been a better choice as song title ;).
Problem with today is that so many people are triggered by the important messages because they don't want to admit that it's true. This message is so good and we need more. I have always loved how P!nk stood up to the haters and told the truth. If you wanna be a girly girl, she's not saying to not do that, it's when you start doing different things to be pretty and to attract guys' attention. Just be yourself, strong and independent. Don't dress, act or look a certain way for other people
I always loved her too for that! And I know this song isn't about making fun of people who need help woth eating disorders, it was to show the fault in their disorder and stating the truth! Couldn't agree with you more!
YAS same girl✊🏼🙌🏻,ima tomboy mostly but there isn’t anything wrong with being girly.she is just trying to say to like you said not to make stupid decisions just to impress others or make others jealous.
the song/video was about Jessica simpson, Nicole richie, Paris Hilton, & Lindsay lohan. If you weren't paying attention to pop culture back then many things in the video probably went over your head. At the time Lindsay lohan was running people over constantly, Nicole richie had lost a shit ton of weight and was crazy skinny, Jessica simpson did the these boots are made for walking video and she wears a bikini and washes a car in a sexual manner, and paris Hilton was famous for her sex tape blowing up, pink references all these things here. It had nothing to do with the kardashians or instagram models or influencer culture. They weren't a thing in 2006
100% still relevant today. I remember having my tween daughter's watch this video years ago while encouraging them to be themselves and NEVER dumb it down to impress ANYONE.
***** I really don't know if that's true. Pink managed to make it clear in the lyrics that she was mocking these stereotypes whereas Britney and Iggy seem to be mocking them in the music video but then also seriously/honestly embracing them in the lyrics. idk
V E Gray Haha I know, went straight to this video afterwards! I know they were joking, but it was just too much. Also, their lyrics still send the message that you can achieve anything as long as you're pretty, which is just sad and not true.
Im 12, and these girls at my school started bullying me, because im a tomboy. They called me a lesbian and stuff, so i ignored them and i played them this song today😂
1:19 “i’m so glad that i will never fit in, that would never be me. Outcast, girls with ambition, that’s what i wanna see” the entire song is so relevant and ahead of time, that line alone stuck to me like glue!!!!!
@@anja6983 you would be surprised at how many guys are intimidated by smart women...it challenges them intellectually when they just wanna chill and have a good, light fun time. It's very nice to have meaningful conversations, future planning and all sometimes but not always. If a girl is REALLY smart, she will know when to use her IQ when it matters and pretend to be just basic at the right times. ☺
@@SM-ce1uy a very large part of eating disorders is vanity. A large majority of people who suffer from eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia have a desire to change their body, not always for men though. Saying that people with eating disorders only do what they do for the attention of men is actually really invalidating of their reasons to be suffering from a deadly mental disorder.
Gen Z doesn’t realize the stupid girl Pink described was actually the ‘pick me girl’ they keep talking about. Also Pink was making a lot of fun of herself, because her label wanted her to be someone she didn’t want to be. It’s also a way to cope with pressure and have a campy creative way to deal with expectations.
Watch it in the right context, in the right time. The message was empowering for me as a young kid. And still we have to criticize the media, brands and industry for how they want to portray women and people in general. It’s satire, not perfect okay (maybe she shouldn’t have picked individuals, keep it general instead of talking about other artists who deal with the same pressure), but it was a bold statement against pick me girls and the male gaze.
Do they not matter as well? Just because they choose to be the way they choose doesn’t mean one should have the freedom to shame them. I hope you get what I mean. A ‘feminist’ shouldn’t shame other girls. Live and let live.
@@jeremifrancisco1 if the reason they're acting like that is because they're authentically just so, then that's fine...but if they're doing it because it's what will get them fame? That's a poser. That's a Pick Me. Paris Hilton was seen as a sex symbol. That was all she ever was to the people who fapped to her. She's so much more than her image.
2022 and this song is still super important. Get plastic surgery if YOU want it but don't do it for society or dumb yourself down for the affections of someone else.
In a world that just continues to thrive on vanity this is still so iconic. I feel like so many in the comments section have no idea what the message is. It’s not attacking people for being dumb or girly. It’s attacking vanity and judgement and fake people and beauty standards
This hasn't aged particularly well (most things won't because we grow and evolve as a society) but the message was important and relevant and bold at the time. P!nk gave girls permission to be different and silly and not hung up on men and their validation. Queen.
I hate how people are looking at this video and seeing it as her attacking "sluts" or "beauty". It isn't that at all. She's showing how we've got our priorities all fucked up by focusing on what society deems outer beauty. It's how we're dumbing ourselves to be loved and for attention. How we no longer value independence, difference and intelligence. She isn't mocking women who dress provocative, she's pointing out that the media makes us believe that's what we NEED to do and it's pretty stupid of us to follow.
Yes, we do not NEED cosmetics to look PERFECT, because no one is. Everyone is unique, and the media needs to respect that, instead of writing stupid articles on a mag about the THIGH-GAP! What the F**k!

It's not about stupid girls - it's about stupid stereotypes and demands girls wanted to live up to because media told us how to be in order to be loved and accepted
The media didnt told weman how to look... People are sexually attacted by what they are, not by what the media says its best. Proof of this is the people who, lets say, like fat chicks. Fat isnt portrayed as the media as perfect, yet those people exist. Being attracted to other human being is a lot less shallow and you think it to be...
Eat This So you are saying girls behave in a way they think men are attracted to? I'm a woman and I know how much media influenced my self image. Don't tell me I'm wrong, when you haven't walked my shoes.
I never said that. TL;DR, only 3-5% of what we are sexually attracted to is media influented. I dont care how you dress, or how you make up, or why you make up. Im saying the media little to none influences what people are sexually attracted to.
It showed that one girl had boobs and the other was flat , there was a PULL IN CASE OF EMERGENCY tag so she pulled it and basically gave her boobs trying to say " I pushed up my bra for a bit to look good " but p!nk is saying DON'T do it u should try to be u to get a man , not someone u aren't

not all bulimics throw up. some abuse laxatives or overexercise. eds are complicated. the point od bulimia is you are overconcerned with your bodyshape, binge eat and use unhealthy ways to compensate for binge eating.
My cousin was a model when she was 18. She was on the cover of Vogue. Did fashion week. Did it all. Never had plastic surgery never colored her hair. She’s just naturally stunning. She quit modeling because she said she would never change who she is for anyone. She went to law school and now she’s dumb rich and super super super smart and successful.
@@nicolerimmer don't feel weird for that! That was so kind of you, and the world needs more of what you did: loving others simply because we're all just humans attempting to better ourselves and this world. You are loved back!! ❤
Its been an issue for millennia really... the more things change the more they stay the same, thing is the last few decades this sort of stupidity has become rather extreme and basically something to celebrate or as a means to fame/identity. Thankfully the repercussions for a woman going along a different mindset arent as severe as they used to be and guys are kinda becoming averse to it as something admirable in a partner. And just to iterate im saying this as a guy.
This song made more for my mental health than my own mother (who presured me into an ED and made my worth as a human depend on being attractive to men). Growing up in the late 90s , early 00s was insane
Yep, the fact that women now believe that being feminine is empowering really shows how bad we need songs like these. Imgine believing that pink is being misogynistic instead of seeing a critique of societal expectations for women. 🙄
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.
Now we call them pick me girls
Earla Weese There’s absolutely zero correlation. Nice try though.
And the lack of positive female role models if I recall correctly
Did GLEE sing this?
Girls that are like that so desperate for attention it makes me sick
"What happened to the dream of a girl president? She's dancing in the video next to 50 Cent"
My favourite part
the best is that it's actually 50cent is in that part of the clip
I literally laughed out loud at that!
AnaPrado that’s not actually him it’s a double
Mine too
@@michealsmith4422 it's not a double. If you watch the making of the music video Pink called up 50 cent for the shoot.
I love how she don’t give a flip about offending other celebrities lol
What’s funny is that she just reacted to this video not that long ago and she said “I love making fun of people 😂 I also love making fun of myself... hahaha, I’m such an asshole” we have no choice but to stan.
I don't know I heard she broke her wrist during that car wash scene
Unlike taylor swift lol
Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus would also be perfect celebrities to make fun of in this video if it was remade in 2020.
@@bdjoh011 Miley yes, but also Niki Minaj, Cardi B and, of course, Kardashian clan.
The song holds the message of girls being valuable individuals as they are without changing themselves under the pressure of mainstream standards, which can make you stray away from what you originally want and damage you, it was really empowering and confidence boosting to listen to it as a little girl, still does
No, it Is about stupid girls ❤
Nah, its just the ultimate nOt LiKe ThE oThEr GirLs anthem. Making fun of eating disorders, of Paris Hilton being a victim of revenge porn when her sex tape was leaked and just girl who want to be feminine is not empowering. Im glad feminism moved away from girly = bad and sporty = good.
rather save my diet bars instead of shares what you just said
equals to stands arts
Yeah she talks about how Paris confronted her about the song, and Paris said "I'm not really stupid, I just act stupid". And Pink was like that's the point of the song.
Exactly, while it's cool to look good it's not cool to ACT stupid
@Veronica A. Reese is pretty chill.
Okay.
Not to be and only ACT?? nobody can show herself a stupid if she is not really a stupid. To spend all life as stupid thing its not normal for person, even u think its only your role for money.
Nufogirl Sher this is kind of funny after the documentary lol
This woman was my role model growing up, i discovered her music when i was 11, no one understood why i looked up to her. She made me feel confident enough to be comfortable with being an outsider. I am who I am because when everyone was pushing me to be a normal, feminine girl, she made me feel comfortable being a tomboy. When i hated myself for not being able to fit in with the other girls, when i got bullied at school, when my mother couldn't accept me being gay, her music made me feel like i wasn't alone, her music gave me strength. I'm 23 now, I still look up to her and I still love her music. I have so much respect for this Woman.
Same. Amen
Feel you ❤
BIG MOOD
Sameee♥️♥️
I don’t understand how or why your mum couldn’t accept you being gay. If my daughter was gay or bisexual, it wouldn’t make any difference to me. It doesn’t change who she is or how much I love her.
What stuck with me most about this is she says "I'm so glad that I'll never fit in that will never be me, outcasts and girls with ambition that's what I want to see" has always been the best line of this song
oh yes ambition is such a great idea..we can see that in men...
KN JB what
Yep, always inspires me to study harder than ever to pass my exams with flying colours. I'm not a sports kinda girl, but I have great ambition for filming and that line always keeps me going to achieve my dream of getting into the film industry.
KN JB What? Are you implying that women aren't ambitious?
I love that line, its so me lol. Ive always loved pink shes so awesome!!
Sad this song is needed now more than ever.. She was ahead of her time with this 1 always a classic 4 me
Y'all have to understand that in the 2000s, the height of the "bimbo starlet" had the world in a chokehold. Pink's not criticizing their femininity or sex appeal, she's criticizing their facade; hiding their intelligence to come off as submissive or "cute" for lucrative gain. The damage is young girls watching shows like The Simple Life and aspiring to become that unaware that it's an act.
If anything, this song is much more relevant now than ever especially with the current artifice of social media "influencers". The message still stands the same as in 2006; we should aspire for more rather than shallow, inauthentic appeal.
And she's being critical of that culture that bullied and attacked whoever didn't conform. The youngsters didn't live those awful times so they don't understand the context.
Paris Hilton
2024 Anyone
So including them having an ED is supposed to do what exactly? Also, who are you to tell someone how they should live their life? Little girls being influenced by these “bimbos” is something parents should be worried about, not you or Miss P!nk.
If I were born a woman, I would be acting like Paris Hilton so I could get that bag. Fuck being a President for a shitty country that can’t even let women have rights to their own body. 🤣
I hate her @@leenevin8451
This song has become more relevant now, I swear 😂
PhoenixGrey I agree!! It seems like people are forgetting this message more nowadays too
It’s not that they forgot.
They don’t want to remember.
That's why All these comments new
Uncharted Raider pink said this song is about stupid women who do shit to please men. People aren't stupid for getting surgery or dressing a certain way. If it makes someone happy who the fuck am I to judge??
Pink called it out back then when it was just starting to take over. That’s been the culture since.
The lyrics literally say "maybe if I ACT like that", it's not, and has never been, an attack on being a 'girly girl' - it's about being FAKE to get attention.
In other words: it's ok to be a tomboy, it doesn't make you any less of a woman, and it's also ok to be feminine, just don't reduce yourself into thinking your worth relies - entirely - on your sex appeal. It doesn't.
Acting like that means acting like 2000s era Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson (watch these boots Jessica Simpson film clip for reference).
Exactly
An Aussie yes ma’am lol
Ok, when a guy acts fake that okay? You’re alright with being fake with females. Though when ya females do it. We’re either sluts, Thots, or fake. Like, instead of making them have to think that if they needed to act that way. Maybe they wouldn’t have to change. Change isn’t being fake honestly, change is adapting so they can be accepted.
I can also see the point why you feel you have to call people ‘FAKE’ though when a guy gets mad for a girl who doesn’t have a butt or boobs, they know they can’t exactly change that in seconds. You don’t always see guys getting attacked by they’re appearance and how they act.
Though yeah, you probably haven’t been in a situation like this to understand majority of the people here. So you should stop calling them fake just because of one day they’re this and then the next that. Like think why the person is acting that way instead of immediately going off at them.
What’s so bad about being fake to get attention? Pink is just shaming other women.
I’m listening to this at 36, and realizing how much it helped me stay real and independent in my younger years. Thank you PINK! We need to bring this song back. Girls younger and younger are wearing makeup and getting Botox because it’s marketed toward them.
towards thee upfront chaser aims to your n...
Pink really should do more acting jobs she's hilarious 😂
She’s like the female version of Eminem with her crazy acting lol
I agree
Ellie A she’s worked with Eminem and they’re friends
YEAH! AND REAL..
She is one of the funniest at her own expense (& others)and I love that about her!! That's my kind of humor.. its playful not too serious, but real
It's okay to be girly, I think this video is just a reminder to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Don't throw away your personality/ambition, especially to become some guy's object.
Yeah, too bad the videoclip sends a very different message :/
But girliness has nothing to do with acting stupid like these girls do....
I kinda think my personality is changing to become one of them, im a people pleaser
she had a good idea, but the video is a mess
From internalized misogyny, to jokes about eating disorders, to stereotyping women, this video appeals more to the patriarchy than it does feminism.
"It's okay to label and shame women cause they already do it to themselves"
@@Melissa31832 It's called a parody. She is using stereotypes on purpose, to criticize the behavior of some girls who dumb themselves down to please men and seek popularity. Those girls only reinforce patriarchal values. Everyone should be held accountable for their stupid actions. Women included.
This song isn’t insulting girls just because they change themselves, it’s insulting girls who change themselves just to get attention from men. It’s encouraging girls being true to themselves and what they really want.
Thanks to remind me
Dream weaver but what if my goal is to lure men to their deaths with the power of my looks?🤔
Well No it is not because it is Also making fun of eating disorders and sex workers and thats not ok.
@@daxehehe1588 It's referencing particular people, get a grip.

How relevant is this song today as well …. Just imagine how ahead it’s time it was at the time of release …. P!nK just nailed it ❤
I mean it's always a right time to be a misogynistic woman in a misogynistic culture.
I definitely agree that this has beeeeeeeennnnnnnnn relevant, though it wasn't ahead of it's time... It's just still happening unfortunately. Maybe even worse now! Cause now we know it's not just girls😅

It's how society was then and is even more prevalent now. Its even worse because you have onlyfans models making millions while hard working intelligent women make nothing. Bimboness is being celebrated so of course women will use it to make money. No shame to them take advantage of the men causing society to be this way by all means... but it doesn't make it right or fair. It's harder now to be woman, or at least as bad, more importantly a woman outside society's beauty standards, then it was in the 50s.
@@parthianarrow5874There's nothing misogynistic about expecting women to be more than just bimbos. In fact it's quite the damn opposite.

The Paris Hilton shade is unreal lmaooooooo
Sad thing is is that today compared to some instagram models paris is considered a prude. Think about that for a second. We have gone lower than Paris hilton, the blondest blonde of all time.
I love Paris she's changed a lot surprisingly.
@@sominboy2757 it's funny because yall are all saying be yourself and be nice and all this fake bullshit that you dont really believe in cause all of yall are judging, criticizing, and talking about the "Instagram models". Does whatever they do make them bad people? Does it make them any less human? What does anyone in this comment section get from this? Will it change the people you're talking about? And what's wrong with paris Hilton? Is it because she's rich and she knows it? Shes pretty and expresses it? She likes to dress up? Who is she hurting? Is it wrong? And all the other women or men you all are judging what about them?
I was thinking that!
Pangea Dei nah, you’re just ashamed of yourself and insecure and projecting it on confident girls who are doing better than you

Where is Lindsay

at least lindsay did have a career at some point...its just sad that she became more of a 'socialite/personality'
Wow…. i really needed to watch this video and listen to this song again. It rings true now more than ever. The length us women go through and the way we need to act to “keep men” is so unreal sometimes, I’m so happy this song reminds us to keep it real and to never act “stupid” just to please a guy.
Cheers to all the strong ladies out there keeping it reel 🍻
The little girl in the video is so adorable awww. Pink is so cool, we need more artists like her
Crabby Patty yeahh i cant stop looking at her
She's P!nk's daughter.

Crabby Patty love this song
Crabby Patty yes we do
To understand the message of this song you need to know about what was happening at that moment, beauty was about being extremely skinny, eating disorders were just a way "to lose weight", etc., this song was so powerful back then because girls used to think they weren't beautiful if they weren't extremely skinny, so they would just do things to get famous, it didn't matter if they needed to have eating disorders or to do "stupid things" just to be famous. That's what the song is about, so please stop saying this song is judging women because it's not.
Same as today... girls looking for men and media attention...
The message is important but it's still shaming women imo. It was the trend back then, so I'm not judging, but she really dissed all those girls, calling them stupid, making fun of what they were doing. If back then, it was not offensive because young girls surely needed models that were not Paris, Lindsey or Britney, now, knowing what some of them have been through, it's fair to say that the song was insensitive. It's like when we watch old clips from American TV shows, making fun of them. The whole industry was really messed up, the gossip magazines, the paps... everyone was part of the problem. So it's good, imo, to come back to this music video to see how everything has changed and to accept that this song, today, was part of the problem too.
I love that you felt the need to explain a 15 year old song with 96 million views before you...
Why wouldn't you judge women if they do stupid things for attention? I find it reasonable to be told when i'm doing something stupid. Political correctness isn't helping anyone. It just enables insecurity and insecurity leads to being hurt( by yourself or men).

I love this song and the music video, since I was a Teenager. It helped me to understand that it's great to be what you are and not to clone yourself to be something, or someone that you don't want to be. That's why I love Pink ❤
2024 Has Anybody
like others have stated, this was pre-body positivity, no fat shaming, etc. time. those in the comments bashing probably aren't old enough to remember or weren't even born during this period in time. while watching the video i can literally see the references she is making (jessica in the daisy duke's washing the car, paris in her "home" video, etc).
I think this video is still viable today because people are so sensitive. I’ve also seen people in the comments changing the meaning because they think that the point of view on society now is the same as then, and it wasn’t. Times have changed and the meaning of some words and actions have changed but at the time this was meant to be a slap in the face to the stupid girls. Most people need to remember the context of when this was posted. The only women who were famous at the time were indeed these ‘stupid girls’ so she’s just trying to prove that you don’t need to dumb yourself down to do well and be a good person.
I'm sorry your favorite song has aged like milk. Sincerely, an oversensitive snowflake who was 13 when this was popular and thought it was the pinnacle of social commentary.
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
people should be shamed for being over weight.
@@JustLIkerapunzel and the 2000s are being glorified on the internet for the last couple of years especially on tiktok
Reminds me of this quote:
"Unfollow IG models and influencers. Start following artists and designers. Your entire outlook on life will change. You will be reminded less of your insecurities. You will be reminded more of what you love about what humans are capable of creating."
Idk about designers, but artists can feel insecure about other artist's work. When compared with that other artist, they put themselves down.
Truth. I follow doctors, nurses, moms, other inspirational people. Being a Millennial, I've seen the rise & fall of celebrities & influencers. It's so important to be level headed & not fall in the trap of false realities. Social media allows you to control what people see.

Request addressed to P!nk: Please bring back this kind of attitude and sound🙏🙏🙏Us mature ladies (50+) and young girls need all that was on this album and more.
Love and blessings to you!
🙌🏻 Well said, I strongly second and *support* this sentiment 😌✊🏻
This video and song had a huge effect on me as a young pre-teen owning this album back then. It's one of those influences that helped me become the me I am now. Don't try to be who you are not. No need to change yourself and who you are to get approval from others. Thank you, Pink.
the tv ad with Shakira was great, yeah, but the Spartaner, our history, Poker Face do you think that´s LONDON?
My mum always told me to pay attention when this video came on
Paris Hilton: I'm not dumb. I just ACT like I am.

so basically everybody has to behave like her ? who do she thinks she is exactly ? a model for the whole planet ? president ? dictator maybe.

Hahaha true.
KN JB I would take P!nk's personality on a girl than the personality of Paris Hilton's. Damn right.

i think pink is an excelent role model but if a girl is a "stupid girl" then isn't she allowed to live it that way?. although you could also say tha women are conditioned to be "stupid girls". not on purpose but you don't have to look hard to find the differences in the toys directed at boys and girls of a young age and maybe we should make an effort to incourage children to be who they feel they are regardless of the media.
I love how Pink pokes fun at all the girls who are "famous for nothing".
Cough cough Kardashians!

I made a comment here 2 yrs ago. & I didn't even want to read it. The only excuse I wanna pull out my ass is that I just hope I was tired. Whoever made up feminism needs to just no. Feminism is just being a female. Really, that's gotta be the literal definition. No, I didn't Google it. Now, it just seems like a way to divide genders & even put females against females. All I know is I don't have the muscles or testoron guys have. & I don't go out of my way to bash other females.
Oh yeah, I feel like this video is just hipercritical. Even tho the intent was to empower females... You can't really do it by bashing the other ones. Also, she's done a lot of the same things other females have done. It really just looks like she's doing a parody of herself, ironically.
What ever happened to girl president? ...She's dancing in the video next to 50 ¢... 🙋 Me but not really. But sort of
So it means you hate models too right? They’re famous only for their natural appearance. But you seem to admire great looking women still..... hmmmm

Now I get to enjoy not only the music, but the meaning of the lyrics too 😊
This song was so empowering as a young girl. The world wouldn’t be the same without Pink. She changed the game and brought women to where they are today.
How about the little girls who were actually hyper feminine and thought they were stupid?
@ramcurequeeny I didn’t make it seem like there are only hyper feminine girls and the truth is most girls are well in between hyper feminine and tomboyish. I mean that there are girl who are shamed by society for liking girly things and this song isn’t helping.
@@totalweirdo6 Omg who the hell cares. You people need to shut the hell up about how offended you are by everything. No one gives a shit how the song made you feel. Go listen to something else.

Talking about "there are girls shamed by society because of things like this" 🙄🤦♀️ you're ridiculous.
@ramcurequeeny tomboy here. Sure, people have been rude to me. But that doesn’t make it okay to hate on a girl for being very feminine. That isn’t okay either

I totally agree Pink is great and this song sends a message for young girls out there and they don't have be like Paris Hilton and Be Smart Strong and Successful and I know that Pink was angry at Miley Cryus and so was Cher b/c of her Twerking on the MTV awards when she was dancing around Robin Thicke.
HELL YEAH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡🌠🌠🌠!!!!!!!
2023.
People fail to realize that this song doesn't mock pretty and/or blond women who like doing their make up and dressing up. This song mocks egoistic and shallow women who equate ditziness w/ sexiness and have no goals in life.
Shallowness and prettiness go along pretty well.
+ bulimic people 🤗
So true
Zeynep Kıymet yeah, we get that, but it all gets negated when she trivialises bulimia and the end clip insinuates that choosing a football over a doll is 'smarter'.
I love Pink, but this video could have been SO much better in execution
I actually thought that she criticizes the media (and society) with this song. How women are portrayed in tv and that many women feel obligated to act like that because otherwise they’re not girly enough, not sexy enough, not desirable enough, not enough.
At the end the girl knows she supposed to play with the dolls (because society) but she has enough self-confidence to pick the football. I don’t think they wanted to insinuate that playing with dolls is bad but I agree they could’ve handled it a bit different, e.g. the girl taking both toys.
Such a powerful message, bravo pink!
“Outcast, girls with ambition. That’s what I wanna see.” Anybody else?

Girls, jobs, money, family...its funny how religions, education system, medical industry, governments, social medias etc....have all dumb everybody down to their insecurity levels. Its nothing to do with being nice respectful wealthy looks or any of that bullshit. You can walk in a room say nothing and attract everyone in there. ITS CALLED VIBRATION AND ENERGY OF LOVE> Check that everyday and you attract all good things....hhmmm yes including girls/women. But if youre an ashole, you attract the asholes of the world hmm yes, including girls. Your world mirrors back to you what you are projecting out with your energy and vibration. So just enjoy and have fun, dont take shit too seriously or you'll get cancer, or hmmm yes girls too.
@Kathy Schiebel Oh and btw.....winning the approval of any girl/woman is like locking yourself in an underwater prison full of hungry angry sharks and swallowing the key. Men have figured out that you must find love for self first, THEN you will know you dont need a girl or woman after all. So get over yourself and do it NOW!!!

“Maybe if I act like that, this guy would call me back” this has never shocked me to the core more then now because it’s so true sometimes especially when I was growing up. Pink has always been so good
I've always been a super smart person, but when I was a teenager I would act like a dumb blonde in front of guys so they wouldn't feel intimidated by me and it's sad to say I was very well liked by the teenage boys at the time. It worked.
I'm glad I've grown up and realized it's much better to be your true authentic self than to do something to make yourself more attractive to people - and shockingly enough, guys still like me now.
I heard some people complain about this song/vid. But as a woman in my late 20s I want to say that this song reallly helped me in my teens. In the 2000s it wasn't as accepted to be an outsider as a girl. you could listen to p!nk and avril lavigne and dress up in punk, but you had to deal with beeing an outcast, and boy, you really had to be skiny ... so happy that that`s over. And I love this song.
Pink really made a great statement with this song. How many of us women have grown up feeling at one time or another the whole " I'd rather be thought of as pretty than smart" nonsense??? It actually takes some courage to just be yourself and be comfortable with who you are sometimes rather than spending hours trying on the latest fashions and more hours in front of the mirror messing around with hairstyles and makeup. It's okay to want to look good, but I always love it when someone says I look great when I'm not "all dolled up" as they saying goes.
hopefully red pip
hopefully red, you took the words right out of my mouth ✋
hopefully red I realised that when I turned 15 :) and choose to become a doctor and not take the path of ' pretty girls are dumb ' someone gotta fix this messed up stereotype girl!
hopefully red No I don't think so, I kinda disagree with the song in certain parts. Just cuz a girl wears makeup and heels and shows skin doesn't mean she's doing it for a man. Maybe she feels confident like that, and it's hard to go out and dress all "girly girl" when society thinks it makes you a "stupid girl". But other than that I think this is a very good song.
You can be yourself. Sure. That doesn't mean ppl aren't gonna stop testing you tho. And for their entertainment... You gotta switch it up. I don't mean entertainment as some simple sh to view either....
Before some closed-minded feminist makes another comment, the video is not about being FEMININE or GIRLY, it is about females altering their body image to look pleasing in societies eyes, being thin, sexy, overly-provocative is something society promotes, P!nk is talking about the girls that are following that trend, and not being themselves.
Freckled Jegus But Pink is specifically referring to the girls who change just to impress others.
Freckled Jegus I said close-minded feminist. not feminists in general.
Exactly
Totally agree! P!nk sings about the fact that girls follow the norms and values of our society. Images they have to conform to in order to get respect and attention, for example being tan, thin,... The title of the song may not be the best decision though, because you can not only blame the girls but also society who creates these stupid norms (for example the fashion industry who promotes slenderness). People judge other people constantly and for that reasons girls follow these norms and by consequence want to be tan and thin. So maybe stupid society would have been a better choice as song title ;).
+King Avalon I agree whole heartedly with everything you just said! well put
Problem with today is that so many people are triggered by the important messages because they don't want to admit that it's true.
This message is so good and we need more. I have always loved how P!nk stood up to the haters and told the truth. If you wanna be a girly girl, she's not saying to not do that, it's when you start doing different things to be pretty and to attract guys' attention. Just be yourself, strong and independent.
Don't dress, act or look a certain way for other people
I know right!!! This is exactly what I think. Thank you 👏👏
well society sucks
I always loved her too for that! And I know this song isn't about making fun of people who need help woth eating disorders, it was to show the fault in their disorder and stating the truth! Couldn't agree with you more!
agreed!!!
YAS same girl✊🏼🙌🏻,ima tomboy mostly but there isn’t anything wrong with being girly.she is just trying to say to like you said not to make stupid decisions just to impress others or make others jealous.
It's 2023 and I still love this song and many more by this artist. For me it never goes out of style.
Strange place for a bot to comment 🤔
2024 Anybody
the song/video was about Jessica simpson, Nicole richie, Paris Hilton, & Lindsay lohan. If you weren't paying attention to pop culture back then many things in the video probably went over your head. At the time Lindsay lohan was running people over constantly, Nicole richie had lost a shit ton of weight and was crazy skinny, Jessica simpson did the these boots are made for walking video and she wears a bikini and washes a car in a sexual manner, and paris Hilton was famous for her sex tape blowing up, pink references all these things here. It had nothing to do with the kardashians or instagram models or influencer culture. They weren't a thing in 2006
You’re correct they weren’t but the message is still relevant to today’s society
Hell, I remember all that and I agree it's still relevant to today, HOWEVER, I think it's much, much worse these days than what it was back then.
100% still relevant today. I remember having my tween daughter's watch this video years ago while encouraging them to be themselves and NEVER dumb it down to impress ANYONE.
Also Jennifer lopez who was driving 😂
@@owlthereader7721 that wasn't meant to be JLO that was Lindsay Lohan, hence red hair.
This video is hilarious. I feel like it would never be made today, too controversial for contemporary sensibilities.
A song like that was already made. Look up hard out here by lily Alan.
Actually this clip is very relevant and exactly what today's debates are covering
When she was climbing on the car like Jessica Simpson from "These boots were made for walkin" I fucking died.
Toot again daddy
nickkingofearth that's why I'm still listening to it in 2018...cause it helps lol
I needed this song and video after watching the latest Britney Spears and Iggy video. Oh My God! It's horrible. Thank God for Pink!!!!!!!
***** I really don't know if that's true. Pink managed to make it clear in the lyrics that she was mocking these stereotypes whereas Britney and Iggy seem to be mocking them in the music video but then also seriously/honestly embracing them in the lyrics. idk
V E Gray I know i just needed afte that crap song.
V E Gray Me too! I needed my brain back!
V E Gray Haha I know, went straight to this video afterwards! I know they were joking, but it was just too much. Also, their lyrics still send the message that you can achieve anything as long as you're pretty, which is just sad and not true.
Thank the Lord this a song that gives a good message
This music video predicted the future
With that orange tan you are ready to be the next president ;)
Orange rules
Ahahahahhahahahaha
Wow so profound I'm sure you could run a country on your IQ and tan alone

that's awesome, girl!

+april jones "They called me a lesbian". You are acting exactly the way they do. "Lesbian" is not an derogatory word. Get yourself some education.

Stay strong
1:19 “i’m so glad that i will never fit in, that would never be me. Outcast, girls with ambition, that’s what i wanna see” the entire song is so relevant and ahead of time, that line alone stuck to me like glue!!!!!
I've been listening to this song all day. It's inspirational, catchy and the fake spray tans are hilarious.
Apparently she tried getting 50 Cent to be part of the video but he was busy, so his cousin took his place instead.
I was gonna say lol. I kept pausing the video because the guy sorta resembled 50 Cent.
hmm maybe 50 prefers actual stupid girls...easier to handle lol
That's his cousin?! I can't tell AT ALL!!!
@@Osiwan960 wouldnt that be lame ? A girl that just goes shopping etc ?
Dont you want more from her than sex and maybe food ?
@@anja6983 you would be surprised at how many guys are intimidated by smart women...it challenges them intellectually when they just wanna chill and have a good, light fun time. It's very nice to have meaningful conversations, future planning and all sometimes but not always. If a girl is REALLY smart, she will know when to use her IQ when it matters and pretend to be just basic at the right times. ☺
"say no to food" underwear had me dead
💀💀💀 it's the mocking eating disorders for me.
@@emma7673 it;s not mocking eating disorders at all only those who are doing it out of vanity.
@@SM-ce1uy a very large part of eating disorders is vanity. A large majority of people who suffer from eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia have a desire to change their body, not always for men though. Saying that people with eating disorders only do what they do for the attention of men is actually really invalidating of their reasons to be suffering from a deadly mental disorder.
This the 2000's for you. I used to say shit like that lol
This is still relevant. What happened to the dream of a girl president?
After 10 years, I finally get the meaning of this
its 2018 and its sad that this song is still very true.
I know right? This song is old, early 2000s, but it's still accurate nowadays 😕
and it's only getting worse
good message :) better than a lot of other songs right now
true , no argument there
Gen Z doesn’t realize the stupid girl Pink described was actually the ‘pick me girl’ they keep talking about.
Also Pink was making a lot of fun of herself, because her label wanted her to be someone she didn’t want to be. It’s also a way to cope with pressure and have a campy creative way to deal with expectations.
Watch it in the right context, in the right time. The message was empowering for me as a young kid. And still we have to criticize the media, brands and industry for how they want to portray women and people in general. It’s satire, not perfect okay (maybe she shouldn’t have picked individuals, keep it general instead of talking about other artists who deal with the same pressure), but it was a bold statement against pick me girls and the male gaze.
Do they not matter as well? Just because they choose to be the way they choose doesn’t mean one should have the freedom to shame them. I hope you get what I mean. A ‘feminist’ shouldn’t shame other girls. Live and let live.
@@jeremifrancisco1 if the reason they're acting like that is because they're authentically just so, then that's fine...but if they're doing it because it's what will get them fame? That's a poser. That's a Pick Me. Paris Hilton was seen as a sex symbol. That was all she ever was to the people who fapped to her. She's so much more than her image.
There is no Gen Z.
2022 and this song is still super important. Get plastic surgery if YOU want it but don't do it for society or dumb yourself down for the affections of someone else.
THIS
2024 Anyone
In a world that just continues to thrive on vanity this is still so iconic. I feel like so many in the comments section have no idea what the message is. It’s not attacking people for being dumb or girly. It’s attacking vanity and judgement and fake people and beauty standards
Oh my gosh, I love her so much. Pink needs to be president
I'm sure she would be better than Obama.
Nasia Jones
That isn't saying much.
This hasn't aged particularly well (most things won't because we grow and evolve as a society) but the message was important and relevant and bold at the time. P!nk gave girls permission to be different and silly and not hung up on men and their validation. Queen.
So many people don’t get the message and I live for it😭
I hate how people are looking at this video and seeing it as her attacking "sluts" or "beauty". It isn't that at all. She's showing how we've got our priorities all fucked up by focusing on what society deems outer beauty. It's how we're dumbing ourselves to be loved and for attention. How we no longer value independence, difference and intelligence. She isn't mocking women who dress provocative, she's pointing out that the media makes us believe that's what we NEED to do and it's pretty stupid of us to follow.
Thank you. EXACTLY! That's the point. :)
damn right and it bugs me that no one is comentating like "wow awesome song "fuck dont comment than :))
Daz the shit I'm talking about
Yes, we do not NEED cosmetics to look PERFECT, because no one is. Everyone is unique, and the media needs to respect that, instead of writing stupid articles on a mag about the THIGH-GAP! What the F**k!
Tinka SGupta Thigh gap? is that the space between your legs??? What is it supposed to be, the space, I'm jk thats funny ha ha ha lol WTF is right!!!!

@@qwertycarletous 🤣🤣
It's not about stupid girls -
it's about stupid stereotypes and demands girls wanted to live up to because media told us how to be in order to be loved and accepted
The media didnt told weman how to look... People are sexually attacted by what they are, not by what the media says its best. Proof of this is the people who, lets say, like fat chicks. Fat isnt portrayed as the media as perfect, yet those people exist. Being attracted to other human being is a lot less shallow and you think it to be...
Eat This
So you are saying girls behave in a way they think men are attracted to?
I'm a woman and I know how much media influenced my self image. Don't tell me I'm wrong, when you haven't walked my shoes.
I never said that. TL;DR, only 3-5% of what we are sexually attracted to is media influented. I dont care how you dress, or how you make up, or why you make up. Im saying the media little to none influences what people are sexually attracted to.
No actually it’s about dumb girls lmfao
I think it's about both, these girls act like that because they are influenced by stereotypes.
The “pull in case of emergency” tag was genius!
Yet. It showed something
I didn't get that
@@PrettyNicky50 u sont her the joke
It showed that one girl had boobs and the other was flat , there was a PULL IN CASE OF EMERGENCY tag so she pulled it and basically gave her boobs trying to say " I pushed up my bra for a bit to look good " but p!nk is saying DON'T do it u should try to be u to get a man , not someone u aren't

/\ greenтea /\ sorry im not really educated about anorexia but do you force to throw it up?
That is being bulimic. You're anorexic when you continuously restrict so much food it leads to extreme weightloss.
@Chloe Sky some people who have anorexia purge too. That is anorexia binge purge type :)
not all bulimics throw up. some abuse laxatives or overexercise. eds are complicated. the point od bulimia is you are overconcerned with your bodyshape, binge eat and use unhealthy ways to compensate for binge eating.
1200 is the normal daily amount of calories, 300 cal is one slice of bread or a cup of almonds
This was my anthem in my early 20s lol. November 2024 and still a favorite. I loved seeing a similar personality to mine on the mainstream.
P!nk predicted the future
LOL Yes we could have our first female president because this election seems to be an even race
Bruh yes
Totally.
My cousin was a model when she was 18. She was on the cover of Vogue. Did fashion week. Did it all. Never had plastic surgery never colored her hair. She’s just naturally stunning. She quit modeling because she said she would never change who she is for anyone. She went to law school and now she’s dumb rich and super super super smart and successful.
OMG I'm jealous...

Young girls and women need to hear this song more than ever now
@@cutiemango Nope. Because a woman who wants to become the president doesnt do it for the likings of the man.
This song perfectly captures everything that was wrong with the early 2000s.
nah only the early 2010s and late 2010s even now :/
Its been an issue for millennia really... the more things change the more they stay the same, thing is the last few decades this sort of stupidity has become rather extreme and basically something to celebrate or as a means to fame/identity. Thankfully the repercussions for a woman going along a different mindset arent as severe as they used to be and guys are kinda becoming averse to it as something admirable in a partner.
And just to iterate im saying this as a guy.
@@NZBigfoot yea i agree
This came out in 2006.

love how pink pokes fun of everyday life in this video !
Instagram models while watching this video: 👁👄👁
Thank you Pink. This song was released when us ladies REALLY needed it. Horrid times looking back. You changed everything for us.
This song made more for my mental health than my own mother (who presured me into an ED and made my worth as a human depend on being attractive to men).
Growing up in the late 90s , early 00s was insane
She really did that. Crazy this is still relevant.
2024 Anyone
2:57 it was parody of Paris Hilton?
This song was way ahead of it's time. Some of the videos out today are just ridiculously unnecessary, but they want to label them "empowering".
Songs like this become more and more relevant with each passing year.
I love pink she's good
Yep, the fact that women now believe that being feminine is empowering really shows how bad we need songs like these. Imgine believing that pink is being misogynistic instead of seeing a critique of societal expectations for women. 🙄
@@miriam4628 I don't think you understood the meaning of the song.
Yeah, i thought things couldn't get worse than it was during the 2000's, and it in fact did. It's very relevant indeed.
