barbie girl by aqua is one of the most backfired attempts at satire in history
#it actually kind of makes my stomach churn when i think about how the inherent meaning is essentially that barbie is a dumb blonde#it's a very shallow 90s interpretation of the character's meaning#not to say barbie can't be criticized but. like. good criticism pls not just that she's a girly girl who likes to have fun#but it is funny how many people genuinely think the song is a celebration of barbie bc of how fun the song is#its like 'im a barbie girl in a barbie world' 'bitch!!!!! me too!!!!!!!!!!'#this is why they had to announce that the song would not be in the movie and social media lost their minds#does everyone remember that? i do. that was before we knew anything about the plot or even had a trailer#i wonder if barbie world w nicki and ice spice was written after that as a sort of appeasement. but idk#i cant pretend to know when and how the soundtrack was conceived#but the sample of the aqua song on nicki and ice spice's song which is about unironically loving barbie...#everything comes full circle you know?#text post#sorry aqua#to be clear i still enjoy the original barbie girl but i think it's kinda only fun in the way culture has interpreted#it over the years. obviously it's one of the most iconic songs of its time and era#all of those unce unce eurodance meme songs from the late 90s/early 2000s were some of the first music i ever loved
