The fact that this song can be interperated into so many different ways just from the listener’s past and how their brain works is absolutely magnificent
TW I just fucking can’t keep on going on I want to fucking die ,I don’t wanna go back to my house . I don’t wanna live anymore , I just can’t it’s way too hard ... ppl don’t realise how I’m fighting for my life rn , I’m fucking scared of myself !!!!! I don’t know what I’m gonna do next ... I’ve given up a long time ago , I wanna end it
Uh does this fit? They liked her when she was younger because she was more “cuter” and energetic and happy they only liked her because she was young ☹️
I really don’t know what to do, my bf is 19 years old and I'm 16, I've been feeling that he's using me lately.. He always want me to put my hear as a ponytail (we are I a long distance relationship) I really love him but him being busy all day??? For 5months? Doesn't sit with me Kinda tired I want to focus on my school but I can't
I think you should leave him it may be a really hard thing to do but i dont think its worth staying with him i think that can mess up your mental health and 16 and 19 is kind of weird to me
Thank you. So many people are ruining this amazing song by giving it all kinds of other meanings. I even read some saying it was about pedophiles grooming children. It’s about the fashion industry which was way more present back in the early 2000’s when the song came out. Nowadays with social media and fake celebrity ‘supermodels’ you don’t hear about the modeling industry as much
@@ALT-vz3jn some people perceive stuff differently, why do you think people ruin a song just because they perceive a song differently, either way nothings rlly gonna change about the song. let people have their own opinions
@@a.lexisok Oh you mean the weekend's album? Yeah that's pretty dark but it doesn't mean this isn't either. Google the meaning and you'll know what I mean
The purple aesthetic is very dream like and very darkish, like something whimsical or mystical, driving at night, the purple aesthetic is hard to put into words but it’s very beautiful it’s one of my fav aesthetics,
@@koiwais428 there's a comment about that in this section. That maybe the numbers can also refer to weight or size of models. "They only want you when you're 17 (inches), when you 21 you're not fun"
My first thought when I heard this song was grooming, but that was kind of my trauma butting it’s head in lmao. I thankfully feel less disturbed knowing it’s about modelling, even if that’s also disturbing. But not in a personal way.
I personally didn't find it to be realistic, rather thought it to be a worst case scenario when navigating those complicated feelings. That said, it's def one of my favorites, SSS tier show, in my mind.
I remember "attending" a May Day protest at 17. I came out with a bloody nose and some bruises after knocking out a skinny white leftist, and punched some fat chick that wanted to up in and probably help her comrade or whatever.
According to genius the song is about child exploitation in modeling because of how impressionable and attractive they are, 17yo are easier to hire without parental consent and obviously when you’re young you’re dumb, whereas 21 you’ve fully reached puberty, don’t look as appealing, and are less mailable. The “take a Polaroid[…]we’ll let you know..” bit is in reference to how you’re insignificant compared to every other applicant as you’re one in hundreds to have come in to get a photo and interview. But because the verse is literally the entire song you can interpret it however, even changing 17 to 15 to relate more to an experience you’ve had. A ton of people have interpreted this as being more desired at 17 than 21 by men for example.
the lyrics *"they only want you when you when you're 17 when you're 21"* really reminds me of quackity because everyone is simping over the younger him and not him now and saying stuff like "he's gotten fatter" he hasn't, he's gotten healthier. *skinny does not always equal healthy.*
TW: anorexia Hello ppl! I see lots of people talking about how the song is abt the age of models in model agencies, so I wanted to offer another interpretation. What if the numbers actually refer to weight or the size of the models? So like 17 inches, to me, this could explain the sirens, because the models might have starved themselves to the point of health problems... Though this might just be a stretch, I think its an interesting idea
Thanks for the trigger warning, I don’t need it personally but it’s super helpful to people. ❤️❤️❤️This is the first comment I’ve seen here that has a trigger warning before going into a possibility upsetting topic Edit: and cool interpretation ❣️
@@alishaftw i think I've seen you on some wierd like vtuber app, if you aren't him ig it doesn't matter cuz I don't personally know you I just watch your streams lol
Nothing will change the songwriters original meaning of this song,,, obviously,,, But the beauty of music is that it can be interpreted differently for each person listening depending on their own experiences in life. This song is very close to me for that reason.
its so funky how we can hear every little thing in this song, it's just, you're hyperfixating on ever single DETAIL and i think thats rad as fuck and also,,, serotonin
the gif of the girl from scums wish with this song which sings abt the grooming & sexualization of female minors is so paradoxical. the anime profits off of the sexualization and objectification of a female minor from appeasing to those who have attraction towards children. and using a clip from that anime on a song that’s talking abt the sexualization of female minors, and the patriarchy and misogyny which has contributed to the grooming of young girls is just so fucking ironic and paradoxical
i don't get why yall in the comments get so pressed that people interpret art differently. even though the writer is talking about a specific thing, the lyrics are simple enough for people to attach their own meanings, and feel a deeper connection to it. for me, i thought about how 'quarter-life crises' are becoming more common esp with women in their mid-20s. they often feel like they haven't achieved anything in life, that they're no longer young and desirable. even though they're only in the 2nd decade of their life, literally a new adult. some may think of teens groomed by pedos, only to be discarded when they're an adult. others may think of washed-up pop stars who are only desired when they're young and 'fresh' (i hate that word). that's what good art does, it makes people think about it.
