"talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it."
song title is genius. it’s simultaneously a critique on consumerism (sounds like excess) and on how fast fashion thrives on the idea that women should be smaller (x small)
an artist does not always require an award to prove or show that their album is a masterpiece , those are just materialistic things the fans listening and appreciating their music is enough to prove wt her music is capable of.
I regret not hearing this song early. How can she encompass early 00s sound so fully but still sound so contemporary. Her influences are so clearly displayed but she doesn’t sound like anyone else. This is peak pop
That's what I thought when she started singing. I will admit I didn't know of her until TH-cam suggested this song. I've subscribed to her music. Reminds me a bit of Pink's 'There you go' from her first album 'Can't take me home'.
Yeah, but it's just an award, it's cool and all but we put so much weight on the Grammys... I mean there are so many amazing artists who never got nominated through out the years because they were never super mainstream or just didn't got noticed by the recording academy, but that does not mean they are worse artists then the ones who have been nominated. There are sooo many great musicians, it's impossible for all of them to get nominated and I feel like we should be over it by now
Month? More like a year! I won't be surprised if this gets to be nominated for a grammy. The lyrics and tunes are superb and the reviews so far are overwhelmingly positive!
@@ew8550 lmao. why? she can't even get over 300k subscribers, and none of her songs have been hits, her videos struggle view wise. Her 'CULTURAL RESET~!!!11' performance on Kimmel or Fallon or whatever doesn't even have a million views yet. Face it, y'all overhyped the shit out of Rina and nobody is here for her yet. I love the song, and the album is great, but her fans are obnoxious and very arrogant far too soon and that in the end will do more bad than good for her career.
This is the definition of pop music and I’m glad the early 2000’s era sounds are being brought back in a modern sexy way again! Rina is the future of pop music!
This song randomly popped up on my Spotify & bow I've been here for the past 2½ weeks... It'll continue to be the opening song of my hour long concert in the shower for the time being
Zelgaro it’s already her most viewed video!!! And gaining more views each day! I was here two weeks ago and she had just 80k subscribers! It’s making me think of all the insanely talented and creative artists out there that I’m missing out
rina as an artist is literally lady gaga meets marina and the diamonds with a sprinkle of early 2000s R&B/japanese city-pop and we honestly have no choice but to stan
It’s the Lady Gaga quote for me in the description. “talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

woah she only just came with the debut album it’s bold to say that the uk failed her when the british have been pushing her the most. As for the brit awards that’s something different, the public doesn’t get much a say in that.

Auston Allen poppy is pop metal completely different from rina who is basically pure pop just with a few breaks of heavy music which is like a popular crappy trend in pop music

Rina Sawayama’s “XS” music video is a social commentary that tackles the evils of predatory corporations, the exploitation of underpaid laborers, overconsumption and capitalism. In this essay I will-
The main message is against consumerism, but i have my own interpretation, this song is with a 90s type pop but having very deep lyrics, a message of how society prefers to listen to simple, catchy tunes instead of listening to the lyrics or the meaning
this is something she talked about too! read her commentary on genius lyrics. she wanted to pick an accessible genre to tell this message she does this ALOT especially in her Rina EP
I relate to this deeply, because English is not my first language so I only catch half the lyrics of songs. At first I was like 'Oh, well, another song about wanting to own everything, ok' and then I read the lyrics and was like 'Oh... we stan'.
[Intro] More [Verse 1] Hey, I want it all, don't have to choose And when the heart wants what it wants, what can I do? So I'll take that one, that one, yeah, that one too Luxury and opulence [Pre-Chorus] Cartiers and Tesla Xs Calabasas, I deserve it Call me crazy, call me selfish I'm the baddest and I'm worth it [Chorus] Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess) Oh me, oh my I don't wanna hear (No, no), only want a (Yes, yes) Oh me, oh my Gimme just a little bit (XS, XS) Oh me, oh my Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess) Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess) Oh me, oh my I don't wanna hear (No, no), only want a (Yes, yes) Oh me, oh my Gimme just a little bit (XS, XS) Oh me, oh my Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess) [Verse 2] Flex, when all that's left is immaterial And the price we paid is unbelievable And I'm taking in as much as I can hold Well, here are the things you'll never know [Pre-Chorus] Make me less so I want more (More) Bought a zip code at the mall Call me crazy, call me selfish Say I'm neither, would you believe her?

"XS is a song that mocks capitalism in a sinking world. Given that we all know global climate change is accelerating and human extinction is a very real possibility within our lifetime it seemed hilarious to me that brands were still coming out with new makeup palettes every month and public figures were doing a gigantic house tour of their gated property in Calabasas in the same week as doing a ‘sad about Australian wild fires’ Instagram post. I mean I’m guilty of turning a blind eye too, because otherwise it makes me depressed. We’re all hypocrites because we are all capitalists, and it’s a trap that I don’t see us getting out of. I wanted to reflect the chaos of this post-truth climate change denying world in the metal guitar stabs that flare up like an underlying zit between the 2000s R&B beat that reminds you of a time when everything was alright." - Rina
this is why i love PC music, its the perfect genre to critique the culture of overconsumption, manipulation. and aesthetics, while simultaneously co-opting all three to gain popularity through the genre. (Rina is not necessarily PC Music, but she has important aspects of the genre)
Well the animal agricultural industries are hugely subsidised by the government through taxpayer money. Animal agriculture contributes more to the environment than all if the transport industries combined. Subsidies are the opposite of capitalism. Without subsidies, in a capitalistic economy, animal agriculture industries would be a fraction of the size. We'd naturally eat more resource efficient food. Capitalism isn't the enemy, your murderous diet is.
I will never understand why the industry sleeps on this exceptionally talented, creative, trailblazing, young lady. Manager, please get her songs on movie soundtracks (or more if you have already 😊), and get her booked on late night shows, around the country.
@Mercurial Pierrot Did you really listen to the cheetah girls? "Cinderella " was all about girls not needing a prince to save them, that they would rather save themselves. It was all about girl power.....
@@livliv2384 bestie i love olivia hahahahaha i have memorized all lyrics from her sour albums. Of course, as a fan i got to know this issue and discovered her and honeslty just thankful. I also agree that petra collins should be questioned but for me, witty references are not illegal to use.
i cant be the only one who thinks this sounds like a 2000's Disney song. like, I can imagine a spoiled rich girl in a movie about high school singing this.
energy is my game : don’t worry, say so took six months to blow up and this was only released three weeks ago. This is her breakout hit, give it some time
Did y'all notice that lady gaga's line "talented brilliant show stopping totally unique..........shit on it vomit on it give birth to it" in the news ticker/slide 😍
The most explicit display on 'Commodity Fetishism', 'Labor Theory of Value', 'Appropriation of Surplus Value' and 'Exploitation of the Working Class' I have ever seen in a music video.
I discovered Rina just today because I saw a meme of her on twitter showing Rina thinking it's her time after Mozart died. I didn't get it at first so I looked her up and watched this video. I have no complains.
I guess I missed the point of the song, I thought it was about mindless self indulgence at any cost with a dash of Puddle deep trendiness? Guess I didn't read it right.
Love how the title is a pun which means both "excess" and extra small, pointing out a contradiction in capitalist consumption which asks one to both revel in excess while also remaining within strict societal beauty standards.
@@user-dv1rk7lt2pWhat are you talking about? That line is about women earning less than men, what are you trying to imply it means? Yes, the song is about capitalism, not about societal beauty standards to be skinny.
It takes an insane a lot of body control to achieve acting like a malfunctioning robot instead of a fish out of water. Your dance coach and editors def know what they’re doing!
this video makes me laugh, she looks like she's honestly having a blast doing what is basically her livelihood and I can really appreciate the love and passion she puts into her videos. They're made so well and it's clear the production quality matches her passion and that really enhances the experience. Well done everyone.
#sawyamaisbritish how dare mercury prize not nominate this talented lady, this is the best album of the year. Sawayama is the best album of the year. Pixels stream rina deserves to be number 1
The production of the video totally achieves the purpose and concept of the song, the advertisement scenes are so jolly, visually pleasing, I can't help but laugh when I see them, on contrary the "behind scenes" or the reality, seems perturbating, I just want to look away and... isn't that how we live? Ignoring reality cause we just don't like it and don't want to see it, live in a shallow world that conveys slavery, pain and unfairness but put some make up on and want a little bit more, we live in excess
I don't thing a lot of people are deliberately ignoring reality--more like they either don't think about it or they don't have enough information to come to the realization of just how unfair the world is. There's also the just world phenomenon in psychology, which states that people have a tendency to believe the world is just and victims of tragedy/violence/violation/exploitation somehow 'deserved' it, especially if they or their group benefits from the situation at hand.
1:20 AFTER ONE F*CKING YEAR I SEE THE TEXT: Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
This video is epic, the fact that she has to reach the right mindset to bring an alter ego acting and giving the right glossy pop personality with exaggerated and cheesy expressions, its amazing just like in the mid 90s-00s music videos. She is very talented

I relate to this deeply, because English is not my first language so I only catch half the lyrics of songs. At first I was like 'Oh, well, another song about wanting to own everything, ok' and then I read the lyrics and was like 'Oh... we stan'.
So it's like Hey Ya again
my husband and i love this song so much, we played it at our wedding
Goals
For a fat minute, I thought this song was from the late 90s or 2000s
SAME
SwirlyTuttiFruitiRainbow 😭😭😭 felt that

Hey, I want it all, don't have to choose
And when the heart wants what it wants, what can I do?
So I'll take that one, that one, yeah, that one too
Luxury and opulence

Cartiers and Tesla Xs
Calabasas, I deserve it
Call me crazy, call me selfish

Came here after hearing her performance on Jimmy Fallon! Guess the promo worked because I’ll be giving the album a listen 🥳
YAY!!! welcome to the Sawayama universe!!

Oh wow, what a saint.
Tfw you need corporate platforms to let you know what's up...XS...
WELCOME
Miss Rina said eat the rich
eat the rich. democratise the enterprise. please vote. the rich didn't earn their money. the working class did.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK
"XS is a song that mocks capitalism in a sinking world. Given that we all know global climate change is accelerating and human extinction is a very real possibility within our lifetime it seemed hilarious to me that brands were still coming out with new makeup palettes every month and public figures were doing a gigantic house tour of their gated property in Calabasas in the same week as doing a ‘sad about Australian wild fires’ Instagram post. I mean I’m guilty of turning a blind eye too, because otherwise it makes me depressed. We’re all hypocrites because we are all capitalists, and it’s a trap that I don’t see us getting out of. I wanted to reflect the chaos of this post-truth climate change denying world in the metal guitar stabs that flare up like an underlying zit between the 2000s R&B beat that reminds you of a time when everything was alright." - Rina
Ok wow... an inspiration
That J* shade...
Sis spilled the tea!
this is why i love PC music, its the perfect genre to critique the culture of overconsumption, manipulation. and aesthetics, while simultaneously co-opting all three to gain popularity through the genre. (Rina is not necessarily PC Music, but she has important aspects of the genre)
Well the animal agricultural industries are hugely subsidised by the government through taxpayer money. Animal agriculture contributes more to the environment than all if the transport industries combined. Subsidies are the opposite of capitalism. Without subsidies, in a capitalistic economy, animal agriculture industries would be a fraction of the size. We'd naturally eat more resource efficient food. Capitalism isn't the enemy, your murderous diet is.
I will never understand why the industry sleeps on this exceptionally talented, creative, trailblazing, young lady. Manager, please get her songs on movie soundtracks (or more if you have already 😊), and get her booked on late night shows, around the country.
“Make me less so I want more” yikes that’s too true, great song and awesome video
Did no one else notice “3 easy payments of 10-20-40”
omg that is actually brilliant 🤣
Alexander and the phone number, 102-040-120
genius....
im confused whats the date mean?
what is that
my little brother said this sounds like the cheetah girls and I think that's beautiful
OMG i think hes onto something!
Omg I was fucking thinking that too!!!!
Except she actually has something to say.
@Mercurial Pierrot Did you really listen to the cheetah girls? "Cinderella
" was all about girls not needing a prince to save them, that they would rather save themselves. It was all about girl power.....
Yessss
thank u to all olivia's haters now i discovered this great artist
you're welcome
Bestie, Olivia didn't created by her own. It's her producer, Petra Collins.
@@livliv2384 bestie i love olivia hahahahaha i have memorized all lyrics from her sour albums. Of course, as a fan i got to know this issue and discovered her and honeslty just thankful. I also agree that petra collins should be questioned but for me, witty references are not illegal to use.
we love olivia but not petra collins
@@vivi4nnes olivia hye 😍😍😍
are we ready to admit this is the best pop song of 2020
Yes
hell yes. the smartest and catchiest song of the year, for sure.
we’re almost on august and no one did it as good as rina yet!
i'm sorry it's not the song of the year...
it's the song of the century, and that's on peri!!!
@@ew8550 well actually that’s right
i cant be the only one who thinks this sounds like a 2000's Disney song. like, I can imagine a spoiled rich girl in a movie about high school singing this.
this song totally gives me Sharpay Evans vibes !!
But with that heavy irony because of its critique of capitalism 👌
@@rishasdfgh1571 omg yess
@@rishasdfgh1571 this does kinda sound like Ashley Tisdale during her He Said She Said era.
Rina actually takes TONS of inspiration from 2000s pop, especially on her first ep "RINA"
We all know this song sounds like a song you'd hear in a Bratz movie and I LOVE THAT
yes !!!
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS
I AGREEEE
I could never agree more
ngl i fee like you can also here it in the cheetah girls or charlie's angels 2000s not 2019
queen of originality
THIS SONG DESERVES TO BE HER BREAKTHROUGH HIT Y'ALL
oh honeyyyyyyyy it is, Rina is finally happening!
Should be Commes Des Garcons but this is acceptable
energy is my game : don’t worry, say so took six months to blow up and this was only released three weeks ago. This is her breakout hit, give it some time
dat guy you know I strongly disagree. But I respect your opinion.
Angel Kingsley thank you
At 1:20 the text below her is Lady Gaga’s “talented, briliant, incredible, etc”.
Wow
Yeah... Rina is a huge Gaga fan
Comrade rina needs to blow up and soon, these other pop girlies could NEVER
Exactly this.
Mariel R I haven’t heard of that song, I’ll check it out
She is really giving us EVERYTHING.
She has a 2000 nostalgic vibe I love, reminds of Destiny's Child.
You're so right! There's a comforting familiarity with the beats yet it's a new take on the 2000 style
Exactly :)
Also very Liberty X - Just a little with a mix of Christina Millian
This is more reminiscent of Britney Spears
The woman in red suit when she lip synced the lyrics is satisfying to me idk lmao
Omg ty so much for the 1.7k likes i didnt see thiss coming 🥺💓
same.. I like it cuz she looks like Lisa Kudrow lol
Bitchh yess
We are weird x
serving laura dern realness
It hurt me for some reason lmao
Just came here from cinema. John wick 4 was amazing
It is funny how Mr. Marx has been silent since Miss Sawayama relased this
very funny!
Who’s that?
pedro6720 Karl Marx
I doubt that she’s a disgusting socialist
and thats on toxic neocapitalism
This is such a GOOD SONG. It’s like a blast to the past.
Did y'all notice that lady gaga's line "talented brilliant show stopping totally unique..........shit on it vomit on it give birth to it" in the news ticker/slide 😍
Asrar Hussain where
janice 0:49 look at the words at the bottom
lmaooo 😭😭😭 iconic
Asrar Hussain i thought I was the only one who noticed it
Gaga said this on Britney's "Blackout" album. This song sounds exactly like it belongs there :)
No other compares to Rina or the work she put on her videos
The most explicit display on 'Commodity Fetishism', 'Labor Theory of Value', 'Appropriation of Surplus Value' and 'Exploitation of the Working Class' I have ever seen in a music video.
👏WE👏STAN👏A👏MARXIST👏QUEEN👏
I discovered Rina just today because I saw a meme of her on twitter showing Rina thinking it's her time after Mozart died. I didn't get it at first so I looked her up and watched this video. I have no complains.
Recently discovered her too, this is currently my fav th-cam.com/video/Nhf9gkkYaBg/w-d-xo.html
G-Junkie alterlife is super nice it’s one of my tops from Rina, but snakeskin from Sawayama is def my fave
Dude same! I'm so proud i just found her today! Like- this song is giving me nostalgia😢😭
lol i didn’t discover her today but i did see that meme [today]
damn, i need to see this meme😭😭😭
I like how Rina combines entertainment with critical thinking. I love when I can dance and fight injustice with the same song.
Mood
@@lesbiangoddess290 You're everywhere girlie
honestly same
lol
I guess I missed the point of the song, I thought it was about mindless self indulgence at any cost with a dash of Puddle deep trendiness? Guess I didn't read it right.
This is so beautifully done it simply can not be put into comparison with others
This is literally a revamp of Marina and the Diamond's 'Oh No!' - each decade we geta bad ass song about capitalism
Yeah I think it's so cool!! I also think it's cool that they're friends.
@@bettycat4832 stan that pfp
Really? I don’t get Oh No vibes from this and I’m a super fan of both Marina and Rina
@@Akkesama both songs discuss over achieving which can lead to ignorance, and mainly WANTING something real bad
@ARTPOPenguin Oh, no! Is about capitalism?
Love how the title is a pun which means both "excess" and extra small, pointing out a contradiction in capitalist consumption which asks one to both revel in excess while also remaining within strict societal beauty standards.
th-cam.com/video/p3EfQjuE8sA/w-d-xo.html
Thats a stretch.
The problem with capitalism is not consumption. In fact, increased mass consumption is one of the good things about capitalism.
uperdown0 how did you get that I-
@@user-dv1rk7lt2pWhat are you talking about? That line is about women earning less than men, what are you trying to imply it means? Yes, the song is about capitalism, not about societal beauty standards to be skinny.
It takes an insane a lot of body control to achieve acting like a malfunctioning robot instead of a fish out of water. Your dance coach and editors def know what they’re doing!
That’s what I thinking as well!! I was thinking about how easy she made it seem.
this video makes me laugh, she looks like she's honestly having a blast doing what is basically her livelihood and I can really appreciate the love and passion she puts into her videos.
They're made so well and it's clear the production quality matches her passion and that really enhances the experience. Well done everyone.
Imagine how huge this song would be if it was released in 2005.
It's like an early 00s Britney Spears/Pussycat Dolls song but with more substance and much weirder.
@@darko1295 I'm getting more of a Gwen Stefani vibe, which coincidentally aligns with the original comment
Christina Aguilera for me
Yeah but now there some shitty songs popular because of TikTok
same, this song have that vibes from cheetah girls lol
#sawyamaisbritish how dare mercury prize not nominate this talented lady, this is the best album of the year. Sawayama is the best album of the year. Pixels stream rina deserves to be number 1
Because she is not British. She is a Japanese citizen.
Gavin Reid
Because Japan doesn’t allow dual citizenship. She’s spent 23 years of her life in Britain... the rules are not fair.
@@marixcx I know about her choice of citizenship. . She could still win best international award. Fair ? Debatable.
@@gavinreid5387 no she's not even eligible for international since in that category she IS considered British. is that not weird and inconsistent
Ignore their dumbasses
She should focus on the Grammys and VMAS
almost forgot to watch this today
I wish she'd make more songs like this
The production of the video totally achieves the purpose and concept of the song, the advertisement scenes are so jolly, visually pleasing, I can't help but laugh when I see them, on contrary the "behind scenes" or the reality, seems perturbating, I just want to look away and... isn't that how we live? Ignoring reality cause we just don't like it and don't want to see it, live in a shallow world that conveys slavery, pain and unfairness but put some make up on and want a little bit more, we live in excess
I don't thing a lot of people are deliberately ignoring reality--more like they either don't think about it or they don't have enough information to come to the realization of just how unfair the world is. There's also the just world phenomenon in psychology, which states that people have a tendency to believe the world is just and victims of tragedy/violence/violation/exploitation somehow 'deserved' it, especially if they or their group benefits from the situation at hand.
1:20 AFTER ONE F*CKING YEAR I SEE THE TEXT: Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
Omg that's a lady gaga reference,woah
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one that saw that😭😭😭
Omggggggg that's so nice 😂😂😂😂 I love this Gaga meme hahahaha
fun fact, she is a little monster 💅
I JUST SAW IT RIGHT NOW OMG
This video is epic, the fact that she has to reach the right mindset to bring an alter ego acting and giving the right glossy pop personality with exaggerated and cheesy expressions, its amazing just like in the mid 90s-00s music videos. She is very talented
this song goes so hard; this is the first song ive ever heard from rina but its absolutely mindblowing. this deserves every award ever idc
this is one of the coolest music videos i’ve ever seen
Facts!!
YESS LITERALLY
go watch alterlife, i think it's her best
