Fat Usher always out of nowhere. Like why you driving to a kids party or hanging out in a stuffed animal at a sleepover? đź‘€
Oh wow. This really was the best part of that video. Good times.
I know that feel, but you'll know when you get old. You'll work-out and the following morning you'll have trouble getting out of bed, you'll think "what the hell?". You'll do that thing that always worked in the past, you'll lay flat for a minute in bed and try again, your back will be like "nope!" and it'll get better but never be 100% again, and eventually you'll get used to it and feel youthful again. That is, until a work injury occurs and they give you the good shit at the hospital, suddenly your back feels like it did 10 years ago, and then you'll know. You live with chronic back pain, you're old.
I'm glad she was able to carve out an actual music career after what happened with "Friday". It's not easy for a kid to deal with bullying and you factor in it's the whole fucking internet laughing at you. It can be savage for a kid's psyche and it's never ever deserved. So kudos to her for still standing strong. And, yeah, she's a good singer now.
I was exposed to this last year by Decoder Ring because I'm not in the culture :) It's such a catchy hook

Decoder Ring is a podcast about cracking cultural mysteries. Every episode, host Willa Paskin takes on a cultural question, object, idea, or habit and speaks with experts, historians, and obsessives to try and figure out where it comes from, what it means, and why it matters.
Rebecca Black's music video for "Friday" was YouTube's most-watched video of 2011, thrusting the 13-year-old Rebecca into a very harsh spotlight. Dubbed "The Worst Music Video Ever Made," "Friday" was an almost universal object of derision. Produced by a boutique record label called Ark Music Factory, "Friday" almost seemed like cheating—it looked like a rich kid buying her way into stardom, but the truth is much more complicated than that. You'll hear from Rebecca Black herself, as well as Patrice Wilson of Ark Music Factory, Nate Sloan of the Switched on Pop podcast, Slate's music critic Carl Wilson, and more. This is the story of how "Friday" came to be, and how nearly a decade after it went viral, it sounds so different than it did back then.

Not really. The RB multiverse is pretty complex, you need to watch them in chronological order to really appreciate the deep lore.
Lol, that song makes me so nostalgic. I was going through a happy period if my life and I associate that period with this song.
