i would pay real currency money to watch you roast mediocre nepotism babies
Yes
Based
Show us the cow
It's okay, you can say Elon Musk
It would be cool if both of you collabed on a video about that topic!
I think its because we are oversaturated with content and our own personal "it girls" through social media and whatever fandoms we are in. Even throughout stan twitter there are so many different it girls people look up to. Its similar to how there are no longer disney channel kids taking over the western media because no one cares. You can easily find the exact person you want to be a fan of. Everyones their own influencer and it girl!
that last part is such a slay 🤌✨
I actually REALLY agree with this. This is a really good take
This part right here. It's like you can find whatever fits your niche and stick with it.
Yeah I think it girls still very much exist but it’s all so niche now kind of regional?? like we don’t have these global universal it girls wheres there’s large scale consensus. There are just thousands running around social media
As a fan of K-Pop this is so true. There are so many idols and fans are constantly talking about their faves, whether in terms of fashion, vocal or dance abilities, beauty, or all of the above. Ask anyone and they have at the very least one they can name of the top of their head as a "it girl in the k-industry". Mine for example is Nayeon from Twice, the face of the group who's extremely talented, fashionable, and recently had an amazing solo debut that screams "it girl" to me every time I watch the MV
Jordan, a video on mediocre nepotism babies would be absolutely phenomenal. There is nothing more satisfying than watching uninteresting and untalented people get taken down a peg!
u sound like a jealous hater.. you should work on yourself instead of trying to find self worth by tearing others down😌
@orientatedyxna no.
yes!! Jordan pls do it
Im waiting with bated breath
@orientatedyxna yes i love bullying nepotism babies
I would LOVE a mediocre nepotism babies video!
sammme
Yesss
yes!!!
Basically all the current models out there... i feel like some nepotism actors/actresses like Maya Hawke or Maude Apatow actually have talent though.
Yesss!
I just realised while watching this how dehumanising these terms actually are - 'it' girl and 'that' girl etc. Despite relying heavily on personality, image, and unique appeal, there's something very detached about the label itself, turning the 'girl' in question into more of an ideal (or even object) to be envied or admired and separating her from her character and accomplishments.
I agree, I feel that there’s a commodification of the person and in turn the person because an object of spectacle where every aspect of their beinghood is adored and sensationalized besides the actual human being itself
Ppl need to discussion the effects of toxic 2000s celebrity culture and how it effected a lot of teens ( even know ) during this era. I will never understand why older generations ( specifically millennials ) care soooo much about celebrities & mock gen z for not having our own “Britney spears, Miley cirus, etc etc” Like your mad at us for not having our own popular child star who’s been exploited tirelessly just for the entertainment of us..?
Absolutely. And I know this is not related, but it's about the 'it' word: calling animals 'it' (instead of he/she) is also objectifying
It's not objectifying. It's just a term.
Kinda like someone being "all that" or "the shit" - it's not more than a compliment.
There is an immense amount of toxicity within celebrity culture and patriarchy and all that stuff. But the term itself is quite modest and harmless.
At least to me, I do not feel like an it girl is less of a human being or anything like that.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding.
Well said❤
Honestly let’s not pretend like the Kardashians weren’t the IT girls of the 2010s. I dislike them so much, but they were literally inescapable and basically became the blueprint of body standards. Now that a new decade has started you can see the shift happening where the Kardashians aren’t praised for everything and they don’t sell as much as they use to.
Yes, I would say there are still it girls, I think the it girl right now would be Bella Hadid ..
@@nothing-jl2dz Bella Hadid is super mediocre compared to the super models that came before her who were so unique and had really great personalities. Bella has a very bland personality and basically just gets surgery to look like every other influencer or IG "model". She has no x factor or uniqueness.
@@la6136 think what you want but Bella has become a huge icon in today's society
Oh yeah for sure. I hate them so much but it's so true
@@nothing-jl2dz why
I think when everybody is trying to be the “it” girl there is no single “it” girl anymore, and that’s probably a good thing. We’re in the age of hyper-individualism , so I feel like it’s only natural that the definition of an “it” girl is becoming more subjective. We also have so much more access to trends & proximity to celebs/influencers, that I feel the goalpost for what is considered “in” or “it” is constantly moving
People are desperate to give the it girl title to anybody and everybody, because of a huge nostalgia syndrom. They have to accept the fact that in our era, it girl won’t mean the same things than 30 years ago.
100% agree!
Exactly
Plus there was something nice about EVERYONE agreeing on a handful of itgirls. It’s kinda like sports. U have to make small talk with someone u don’t know, u can talk about something that everyone knows about but doesn’t REALLY matter (like politics). I hope that made sense lol
Love the chair. The placement of the bunny ears is immaculate
I think it’s because everyone has their own niche now and there’s no one being pushed in your face all the time that is in all niches
I feel like 90% of the proclaimed "it girls" of this era are gonna fade away in just a couple years. That's the main difference. You get people like Marilyn, Aubrey, Britney and Paris that are gonna be there after decades but the ones that are backed up just by their fans on social media that are gonna grow up eventually, will just disappear from the public eye
I agree
Very true
Aubrey who? Audrey Hepburn?
@@angelicaguerino yes
So white women only?
I think there is a distinction between "it" and just being popular or trendy. Social media influencers come and go so quickly, they really have no impact on pop culture outside of their very young viewers and aren't "it girls". Some do become more successful, but I think "it girls" in pop culture really have to have to have a bigger impact/viewership beyond their niche audience. They have to be lasting. To me, Zendaya is the embodiment of an "it girl", while Emma Chamberlain is just some popular online girl I've heard of
Neither are an it girl
TBH most of the it girls mentioned in that section of the video, are 'it' for tiktok. so we don't know if they will last for more than a few years and what would make them 'unique' from the other girls.
Idk abt zendaya☠️,I'd say marilyn monroe is one of the more definitive it girls for her time,maybe current gen would be someone like kylie???although she isn't particularly well liked,she has the notoriety,wealth,influence and lifestyle,even occupation to qualify.if its a well loved it girl,def bella hadid rn
@@heiloniris1747 I think Bella is more relatable and more the 'perfect girl who is in everything and at the same time you can understand her' with her family situation. Kylie is....'my face structure changed drastically because of puberty'
Zendaya doesn't have any impact tho
I'm so pleasantly surprised you mentioned masculine women and the difficulties that come with that. Often that gets overlooked completely when discussing femininity and expectations for women
You should do a video on the “core”ism of EVERY possible attribute a woman could have, I’ve seen discourse on twitter about how out of hand it’s gotten and I’d love to know more
the need for everything to have a name is actually insane I would love a video like that
Omg yes! I've been wanting a video like this for a bit now. It's so strange and I don't truly understand it
Yay! So glad u uploaded on this rainy evening here in wales! As a 31 yo who remembers the late 90s/2000s well I honestly think it is social media that killed the “it girl”. I think people/celebrities/modern day influencers are too accessible now thus killing the mystique. I’m glad that journalism and the tabloids have become somewhat more responsible since I was growing up, the fat/$!ut shaming was absolutely horrendous, and it was seen as totally acceptable. Also celebrities are no longer stalked and hounded by paparazzi every time they leave their home. The media back then was WILD! I think a combo of social media and the more ‘responsible’ reporting seen these days killed the it girl. It also killed the major celebrity super star too. I think the last major “super star” in the old sense was either Beyoncé or Gaga.
I can definitely vouch for it being a rainy welsh evening lmao I just got soaked :')
Taylor Swift is definitely a current superstar
I'm your age and I think that is pretty spot on
@@91clarie We will always have famous pop stars. But maybe it's not exactly the same _type_ of famous. Just like we don't really have a modern equivalent of Cindy Crawford.
@@screwyourhandle I mean Taylor just broke records that no one before her achieved, like being the first female musician solely dominating the Billboard Top 10
If Jordan had not come through with Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent, I wouldn't have been able to keep watching.
possibly hot take: the 2020 it girls are not "it" girls. they're just popular within or sometimes outside their audience. for example, majority of the social media (white) "it" girls you mentioned I literally never heard of.
yup exactly and I was just thinking that anyone that COULD possibly be an actual 'it' girl in this day and age is of an ethnic/racial minority
Yup they literally have never popped up on any of my algorithms
I agree
True, the only one whoni think is a true it girl is aliyah interlude
I NEED A NEPOTISM BABY CRITICISM VIDEO!!! THEY DESERVE THE ROAST
you dont NEED it like you need air and water
i would love to watch you do a video on mediocre nepotism babies ❤ another great video
i agree!!! i would watch!!
yes!!!!
I’m a little devastated Alexa Chung wasn’t included in this as a 2010s IT one of the last before the influencer version you discuss for 2020s! I remember how talked about she was and the massive successes of her book and it’s cover being included as shorthand for being in the know.
Exactly! When i hear the word it girl I automatically think Alexa Chung. She still has the "je ne sais quoi" factor til this day.
Same! I always think of Alexa. I knew her as being a fashion trendsetter and seeing her in magazines but never knew what why she was famous. I don't really consider Lindsay, Paris, or Britney as 'it' girls - yes they were famous and iconic but girls like Alexa, Chloe Sevigny and Sienna Miller were sort of famous for setting trends even if you never saw them on tv, movies or radio.
Honestly outside of the UK, here in the states I never heard of her until she got her much short lived Mtv show back in the day.
Yes!! Alexa Chung to me who was a teenager in the 2010s will forever be the one and only it girl
Yeeeesss , she was in every event, dating rockstars and always looking cool without even trying
the term "it boy" made me laugh ngl but I do think guys like evan mock, timothee chalamet, harry styles could fit into this mold (interesting because they sort of defy and/or bend gender stereotypes and have became famous for this while the "it" girls have become famous for sort of conforming to gender roles)
THIS!!!!!!
yeah tbh i was thinking harry styles fits the "it girl" stereotype more than any of the actual it girls of the moment! and like you said i think the gender bending is a big part of that because both men and women kind of wanna be him AND kind of wanna be with him. plus even though his relationships get a lot of speculation in the media, he does maintain a certain level of mystery around his personal life that very few celebrities do these days, which i think is a big part of having "it girl" energy.
These it boys are so mediocre
I don’t know why but Cameron Dallas was an “it boy” for a while and he eventually no longer became popular if we’re talking about online personalities
@@ritaevergreen7234 Damn I forgot Cameron Dallas existed 😭 he was everywhere back then
I think Amanda Bynes, should count as the It Girl for Nickolodeon. She was in every teen movie parallel to Lindsay Lohan. Though they were just it girls for entertainment. For a WoC that was kind of an it girl for Disney back in the day, it was Brenda Song who was also in a lot of teen movies, though not as a lead character and obscure.
Nah Ariana is the Nick it girl tbh
@@caitlingill Ariana was active in Nick for 4 years (just 2 shows) and wasn't even the main character for most of it. Amanda Bynes was in several shows and movies (even one called "The Amanda Show") for 10 years
not as a lead character? this is Wendy Wu slander
One of the biggest it girls of social media you didn’t mention is Loren Gray. She was the most followed person of tiktok and literally everyone wanted to be her, she was everything and everywhere, even if you didn’t know her she 100% showed up on your feed in like 2016-2018. She was thriving and undeniable hot, pretty and successful. Pinterest was full of her photos and a hell ton of makeup artists tried to recreate her looks
wow, glad she is gone. I just checked she is an other facetuned influencer who looks like everyone else on instagram.
What happened to Loren Gray btw?
Never heard of her
@@Ravioli-uw9uy Me neither, but I looked her up and I know I've definitely seen her before.
She started popping up on my Snapchat so much to the point I had to set it where I didn’t see her anymore, like who the hell is this lady 😂😂
Julia Fox seems to be one of the only It Girls "doing it the old fashion way", by which I mean clawing her way into being a socialite and becoming people's "muse". And on the subject of the muse, Warhol's Factory produced a lot of It Girls!
can't believe how relieved i was to see someone outside of specifically lesbian spaces accurately describe the power dynamic between masculine women and feminine women
I’ve also noticed kpop stans have coined the term IT girl and now IT boy too, an idol who is very conventionally attractive, has the talent of an all rounder and also seems to have the ability todo most things and can pull off almost anything. Nothing todo with their social life and wealth status. It’s so interesting how terms change and evolve over time
Their talents are usually way over exaggerated though. It's just the most popular idol in a group from the big four.
Does it though ? I thought it was the most trendy idol who had the most CFs that would be called IT girl.
@@uneconqueambulante2094 yeah i guess like with wonyoung she has tons of brand deals
@@beyondtheradio yeah because most "its" in kpop arent the best of the best, theyre just average at best, tbh its just because they're the most conventionally attractive of their group and brand deals etc
@@IuvIies THIS!! I've seen way more talented idols but not as famous not being praised while mediocre idols being named the "it girl" all the time and their fans forcing it on us because of their social media following and attractiveness who they purchased btw!! it feels like a popularity thing more than talent
loved the video! i would love the video on mediocre nepotism babies
Low-key convinced my true calling was to be a mediocre nepo baby living off of daddy’s money. I’m on a yacht somewhere complaining about the temperature of my champagne. Ah I can see it now 😌
yes!!!
PLEASE do a video on mediocre nepotism babies. it might just heal the universe.
I think another important quality of being an "it girl" is longevity. Whether their influence will actually make a lasting impact on culture. Whether we will actually remember them in 30 - 50 years from now
The thing with the "it girls" of the past (and for some in the present) is that they have some sort of trademark or signature that they're known for. They possess a level of authenticity with their image, even though that authenticity comes with intentional curation. Above all, even more so now, there's a high level of secrecy with said image (Zendaya, Lily-Rose Depp, Alexa Demie, Rihanna, and even Beyonce come to mind) because they aren't active on social media trying to prove something, their public image speaks for itself!! With the oversaturation of people becoming social media famous, especially with this it is more difficult to discern who is being authentic and who is following trends, or trying to emulate past it girls (cough cough Kim Kardashian cough cough).
Tbh Kim K was definitely an it girl back in the early 2000’s
@@Hellen3450 and you don’t have to agree w me! Feel how u feel and I’ll feel how I feel!
So we just gonna skip the 2010s? This is Jennifer Lawrence erasure.
Also the 2010s were the height of Rihanna's power.
rihanna wishes she was as relevant as she was in the 2010s lmaooooooo
@@phieee8352 Not to much on Rihanna.
@@phieee8352 STOP💀💀
Jennifer aniston you mean maybe?
@@xstaticgurlxx ? jennifer anniston was not relevant in the 2010s at all especially in comparison to lawrence lolol
Honestly social media did kill the It Girl, with us having access to anyone 24/7. The idea of them begin mysterious or creative kind of goes away. Honestly I have noticed in recent years, I don't stay on Social media for more than an hour or two as just mentally want a break. Also now I listen more to podcast as I do my own thing. Keeping up with so many influencers now, just doesn't appeal to me like it did back in the 2010s.
Girl, I was JUST about to put my phone down to focus on my tasks, how dare you release one of your compelling videos? 😂
ngl I was a bit sad you skipped the it girls of the 60s, Twiggy is my favourite and I think she played a big role in introducing super models as it girls, but I loved the video anyway, thanks for sharing as always 😊💗💗
ps : would love to see a similar video, but on “alternative” it girls 🖤 (would be cool to go through the decades again like Betty Page, Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Courtney Love, etc) and see how they influenced culture, fashion and female thinking 🙏🥺
and Edie Sedgwick, who was a muse to Andy Warhol and a wealthy socialite.
In the 2000s there actually were a lot more It Girls. There was also Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana, and many more. I wouldn't say that the 2000s only had three or four. Thanks to an increase in cable tv as a norm, more It girls came to the fore. Of course, I agree that more girls today than in the past are considered "it" girls due to social media's influence.
I always love your videos on social trends because one, they're hilarious, and two, you always tackle this stuff with a lot of nuance and depth.
I think as time passes, we'll be able to see a clearer definition of an "it girl" for this decade. You mention how media in the past has blurred the lines of who is and isn't an it girl, and I think that when the time comes, those who pass the test of longevity will be crowned this era's it girls.
Alexa Demie is the only true It Girl to me for the simple fact that she has the energy, presence, and allure to remain relevant and influential while barely ever using Instagram or other social media. She is It on AND offline and that is the mark of a woman who truly has It. Julia Fox too, her It-ness is actually what brought on her fame, not the other way around. They're both creative, artistic, stylish, interesting, intelligent, and unique without rich parents or pedigree. A rarity these days and they definitely have It. :)
Kaz Rowe has the most amazing break down of poor Evelyn's life, it sounds so unglamorous, it's amazing what publicity will turn a life into, she also seemed more on trial than anyone else
You've been glowing! I love how positive you are in this video and how happy you were to talk about it. I loved listening to it!
The phrase mediocre nepotism babies has me in tears. Absolutely brilliant. MNBs for the win.
I love the fact that we dont have to look up to other people and they standards of beauty anymore, and we can all jus be "it girls" ourselves
Agree, there are a lot of things social media has done wrong. But the push to just love and accept yourself and that there is no more It Girl has been amazing. I was shook when I posted a makeup fall look video on tiktok (I mostly post for fun for myself and friends) and people were legitimately asking me to give them tips and if I can do a full TH-cam video. As a Black Hispanic growing up I never felt pretty due to society's idea of beauty and now more people want to look like me. I'm still in shock
When I saw the title and conjured up an It Girl in my mind, I immediately thought Audrey Hepburn. She was effortlessly charming, fun, and odd in a captivating way. She didn’t look like anyone else, didn’t dress like anyone else. She was no one’s idea of a sex symbol. But she had IT. Some sort of magic that captured hearts.
Someone I think of that has that sort of quality today is Anya Taylor-Joy. Watch an interview with her. She has something indescribable and enchanting about her.
Definitely agree with this, esp about Anya Taylor-Joy. She's very magnetic
This seems like an opportune time to say, Jordan is my favorite video essayist. I was so excited to see a podcast episode today too! I even watch your videos about British reality TV shows that I’ve never seen/plan to see. Jordan is a total IT girl to me.
Something that your videos made me realize is i think we aestheticize things to make tasks that we wouldn’t normally find appealing, attractive; especially with the ‘that girl’ aesthetic, thereby making them more enjoyable to do.
Rihanna was a It girl, I remember people used to dress like her, Tumblr was based off of her aesthetics and everyone dyed their hair red, right now I would say the It girl is Bella Hadid alot of people want to dress and copy her, I feel like her cat eye look was what made it trendy look and she was also a huge y2k inspiration
Lana Del Rey, Sky Ferreira and Marina Diamondis were also Tumblr it girls too.
The last "It Girl" was Pennywise as the naked grandma I think.
I appreciate the little noises when you show a photo, as I'm usually playing the Sims while I listen/watch. Also it sounds like the sound yoshi makes when he sticks his tongue out and it's very cute.
you forgot back in 2016 when the iconic king kylie era was alive. kylie was 2010s it girl, everyone loved her in 2016
Kylie during 2013-2016 was a huuuuge vibe. I’m the same age as her and remember how she had tumblr and then Instagram in a chokehold to the point where everyone wanted to know her friends and be her friends. The msfts era and king Kylie era was something else fr
I never understood why, she has zero substance and no originality.
If anyone is interested in the ‘it girl’ fashion style through the years and their different style categories, many of the women (besides present ones) mentioned in this video are in this book I love called: Fashionista: A Century of Style Icons by Simone Werle. Also, Crimes of the Centuries has a great podcast about the OG it girl and her love triangle!
You literally cover everything in a topic. I love it. You're so unique please keep making videos
Was so happy to see you uploaded, Girlll you look glowing and stunning💗
idk, i'm a teen girl and the term "it girl" really resonated with me. There's a image of power, of confidence that i want to achieve, so it's just fun for me, walking around pretending I'm an it girl and having the same energy as the woman i admire
I loved bestdressed and the only think she did was sponsor Amazon (as if audible sponsorships don’t exist), which she apologized and took down, but people never let her forget it. Can’t help but think that if she wasn’t Asian or a man instead that it would’ve went down like that.
i was thinking other day about certain iconic models and actors from the 90s! i'm so glad you made this video oooo it's fate
Forgot to mention Jennifer Lawrence !,
The girls oh these days keeping selling us what they wear , the makeup they use , the shoes they use and everyone ends up looking like them !!!! Paris , nicki and Lindsay did not sell us anything we couldn’t be them !!! They were just them and it was IT!!!!
I feel like social media gives us the choice in who we decide to follow and lift up as an "it" girl. Each platform, niche interest, or scene can have their "it" girl or boy and be really popular in that scene but the influence isn't universal. Jennie Kim was mentioned and while I agree she is an "it" girl, she's really only known as such to people who listen to and follow Korean music and dramas. Adison Rae is really only an "it" girl to people who are on a certain side of tiktok or who follow tiktok influencers. I personally didn't know of half the people who were listed because I'm not on that side of the internet.
Actually, the only universal "it" girl in my opinion is Zendaya. She's seen, heard, and felt everywhere!
i will miss the bookshelf and trying to work out all the things youve read but your comfort is more important queen
Your styling is always on POINT 😍 Jordan the It-girl
you should do an episode on looksmaxxing because one of my coworkers went down the reddit rabbithole for that and it reminds me about the whole it girl aesthetic
thank you for all your work again
so unrelated but Jordan I literally love the grain-y type affect 💕
I’ll never recover from you saying « je ne sais quoi » 😭 I’m obsessed
(and other than that the video’s great as always !!)
Watching this during a real school lockdown 😍😍
u okay..?
Girl..... are you like alive?
Pls keep us updated if/when u can!!! Keep the notifs sounds off as well as the keyboard sounds.
I hope you’re okay
@@SharonStoppable I'm fine!! The police department took care of the situation I still don't know what happened they haven't told us anything
Jordan, your hair colour is gorgeous and I’m obsessed with your tattoos
jordan you made so many points in this i cnt even count them!!! the ressurgence of the it girl relating to girls feeling more free in to indulge in femininity just really hit the spot
Was literally wondering when I would get a new video last night! What a nice surprise for today!
I 100% would LOVE a mediocre nepotism babies video. I'm so glad you said it about dusty-ass brooklyn beckham and nicola peltz. I have always thought they were the MOST boring "celebrities" ever but like you, I keep seeing them EVERYWHERE so I thought "huh maybe I'm missing smthn???" I'm legit grateful to u because I honestly thought it was just me 😂
you should do a video on the anti-aging frenzy / “glow up” obsession and how harmful it is for women !!
i was notified that the queen has posted
The dilution of the 'it girl' really does seem to come down to the fact that 'it girl' used to be a title for whoever the press and paparazzi were most obsessed with. It was more than niche popularity because even the average person couldn't avoid knowing who they were thanks to newspapers and magazines. An influencer publishes their own media and is in charge of their own publicity, so I don't think they qualify as 'it girls'. The monolith of print publishing just doesn't get to push stars on such an unchallenged level anymore.
Essentially 'it girl' = print media darling, while 'influencer' = internet media darling
Hair colour looks absolutely stunning x
omg do a video about mediocre nepo babies please, this video is really good and red hair suits you so well
I remember the lamp and I love your chair also your hair in that colour and with the curls it looks so good!!
your hair looks so stunning!
It's been a while since I saw you, I'm really happy to see more of your content, the light it's really nice!❤️❤️
I think this is a good thing. Celebs don’t need to be idealized they should to be seen as humans with flaws acceptable or not.
It's also wild to think about the difference of the it girl between races because when you said 2000s it girl I'm thinking of Kimora Lee Simmons, Naomi Campbell, Brandy, Rihanna, Beyoncé (who I'm SHOCKED was not mentioned lol) and Aaliyah (even though she passed). They all were handled by the media differently too. And the it girl has changed with all of the different aesthetics in black culture as well. Like Jayda Wayda, Destiny Ryan, Zendaya are all it girls in completely different ways. The local it girls where I live were always still wealthy and flexing designer.
Also it girls even changed based on the platform being used. Like the tumblr it girl vs instagram it girl are two completely different things.
I agree there were loads of POC it girls Kim Porter, Kimora Lee, Kidada Jones, Arnelle Simpson and Devon Aoki ❤
Girl your hair is stunning 🤩
You look gorgeous & I love your new setup!! The grainy look is aesthetic as well - you should thrift/buy some art for the side of the dresser facing the camera! :)
meanwhile in kpop everyone is arguing over who the it girl/boy is😭
Ikr 😭
right? I bet most idols wouldn’t even care less if some randos were calling them the “it-girl/boy” 😭
Literally though, like there's hundreds of idols and everyone's criteria is different. Some stans don't understand that not everyone is going to love their faves as much as them and it's wild. Like I'm sorry that someone else thought one idol wore a top better than another but that's not a personal attack
Literally tho 😭 Jennie is my fav it girl like she’s just that girl to me what can I say
@@y2klove581 jennie kim is THE it girl i agree. her and boA are my faves
Omg I need to see a hair tutorial. You’re hair looks so pretty and healthy😭
Such an amazing video, absolutely love your content and your hair and makeup absolutely slayed! Xx
I feel like everyone is called an It Girl now, but if everyone is then no one really is, you know? It loses its meaning if it’s said about every influencer or celeb and no longer means a stand out.
I feel that there are no "It Girls" because due to social media everyone is getting in the spot light and it's taking the sparkle away from discovering Diamonds in the rough. Way back in the day you searched for them, thenonce found they molded you into the IT Girl. Which unfortunately became very stressful for her. So maybe it's not so bad.
girl😍 you look so good with this hair, i think you’ve found your statement color! i was stunned when i opened the video!
I'll watch basically anything you put out. I do not like reality TV but you definitely make it fun ❤
Yesss do the mediocre nepotism babies. I always look forward to your videos, so I can’t wait to see that one!
The main appeal of being the "it girl" is being different and oustanding in a unique way, but when everyone is being different and outstanding in a unique way, nobody is unique anymore, the "different" becomes the norm and so on we jump from trend to trend.
I actually think most influencers are not unique or different at all. They all look like each other, get the same plastic surgeries, dress the same, do the same things, even if they are musicians or something they all make similar music and art. That is why all of these influencers and celebrities blend together now and it is hard to even remember who is who.
i always appreciate your videos!
Jordan I could watch your videos forever
Your new set up is so cute I want it
I agree with people who say if everyone is an “it” girl no one can, and I also agree that you need to have a certain persona and impact for it. Being pretty and rich is not enough. I believe Emma Chamberlain is an “it” girl for gen z not just bc she has a big following but bc shes had a big impact across the internet even to people like me who are not necessarily a fan and is now making an impression in the “real world” like tv and fashion (jimmy Fallon, vogue magazine, met gala)
When Jordan Theresa uploads, you know it’s gonna be a good day ❤
Do you want a video on Nepotism babies? OF COURSE I DO 🥰 Espicqlly in the fashion world, it's amazing how Bella Hadid is taking over Kendall Jenner in modelling
they're both nepotism babies. not much distinction there. maybe bella is more professional and has a better walk, but neither of them would have gotten a shot in the industry if they weren't nepo babies.
And both models are painfully mediocre
@@chrystianaw8256 Bella way better than Kendall tho you can't lie
@@kill3008 both suck
@@kill3008 she is but that ain’t a big achievement considering that kendall doesn’t even try. both overrated and undeserving of the space and platform they’ve been given
ty for bringing up clara bow bc she was the first actual "it" girl
Noticed that the social media "it girls" are always skinny and white
the yoshi sound when the pictures pop up, I literally thought I was hearing things 😂💚
Fantastic video as always, I now feel so old and out of the loop because I thought "that girl" and"'it girl" were the same thing, even tho me and Jordan are the same age afhdjdn.
also great to see that lamp is still blazing away, very proud of them.
ALSO would love to see a video on boring nepotism babies because nothing boils my blood faster than thinking of all the wasted potential and money that could have gone towards someone with actual passion and talent
