Fan: do you have a cringe some of your oldest song that you've written and released? Marina respond: Yeah, not many but some One in particular is "Girls" of "Family Jewels" Because it's just so catty And it's so like 2009 Um, i think it was very indicative of internalized misogyny that I had at the time, and you know it's not the worst song ever, but I don't think I would sing it again live. I think I've grown up a lot since then.
Marina says she actually doesn’t like this song, and cringes when she looks back at it, because she admits it sounds a bit misogynistic, but that’s not the way she meant it to come across. I personally love this song, it isn’t necessarily “misogynistic”, it’s more criticising girls who blindingly follow modern toxic feminine values enforced by society (needing to be “ladylike”, the gossiping, “calorie counting”, focusing on body image, etc.)
@@ok-cz1ih From Genius: After the Family Jewels debuted, Marina described the song as “a call for women to stop being their own enemies. These days you’re either a nun or a whore, to be both and neither, all in one. I want to help redefine women’s place in society.” But NOW, when Marina looks back on the song, she cringes, describing it as “a bit misogynistic”, saying, “That obviously isn’t how I meant it. I don’t want to be like “my dieting trauma” but I definitely had issues with my weight…”
I also personally think that it’s about prostitution, it doesn’t exclusively criticize women but also men, since patriarchy is the one that enforced those standards for women. Those standards are meant to press women down and satisfy men. I feel like the line that says “taking advantage of your insecurities and doubt” can be also interpreted as her talking to an insecure man since the previous lines are “girls, wag your tails to the beat” and it refers to them making stories and their mothers being “proud”. I’d mostly translate that part as women taking advantage of the insecurities of men by telling them what they want to hear and lying to their mothers about it, but I don’t feel like she’s mentioning that in a derogatory way for the women and it’s actually quite the opposite. I don’t know if what I’m saying makes sense but I hope the message comes across the way I intended it to.❤
It *really* sounds more like a "Stop making fun of me just because I look down on you and the things you value" anthem. You can criticize society's expectations of women, but the singer feels more like she's criticizing the women themselves for having interests. That's not exactly better. Like, the most repeated lyric is about how the singer doesn't care about what the other girls have to say. She's saying an awful lot of nasty things about them, when the worst she can think of them doing to her is "gossiping about me" when... yeah, I'd probably gossip about a prick like that too.
This song isn’t your “NoT lIkE oThER gIrLs aNtHeM”, sexist, or feminist satire per se. It’s a poorly phrased song about Marina’s struggles with her identity and the criticism of “girls” in the song is in response to specific women who put other women down.
I can see how people can see this as “pick me” or misogynistic but I think of it more as how society views woman and how many feed into it without realizing it, girls make fun of each other when they don’t fit the rules, we do it all the time and it’s not just woman that do that but also everyone, we have been conditioned to think this way and I don’t think we will ever truly be able to move past it or stop it but we can try. (I also really just like the way she says “wag your tails to the beat” at 3:05 in the background near the end)
This is my favorite Marina song and honestly I’ve never viewed it as misogynistic. Yes, it is a bit catty and ‘not like other girls’ as well as stereotyping some girls but for me I actually find a deeper meaning and really relate to it. “Girls they never befriend me cuz I fall asleep when they speak” “look like a girl but I think like a guy, not ladylike to behave like a slime” I’ve always seen myself as a woman, not trans, but I’ve always hated feminine things and had easier times being friends with masculine people because they don’t talk about that stuff. Most girls used to always hate me for that because I wasn’t their normal standard. “Is there any possibility you’ll quit gossiping about me to ‘hide your insecurities’ all you say is ‘blah blah’” these girls would always talk behind my back about how I was different and not afraid to hide my insecurities. I was confident in myself, that’s why. When I confronted them about it, they said shit like “we didn’t mean it!” Or “what? We never said that!” And to me all I heard was “blah blah.” “You stick to your yogurt I’ll stick to my apple pie” “of all the calories they eat” it’s clear that of all the calories they eat is meant to be a quote or satire by the way she says it and its placement. Yogurt is a healthy food, apple pie is not. All these toxic feminine girls were concerned about their weight and their health and I wasn’t. I didn’t care about that shit. And for that I got bodyshamed and my response to that was you do you. You eat what you want (yogurt) and I’ll eat what I want (apple pie) “Girls are not meant to fight dirty, never look a day past thirty. I won’t bend over and curtsy for you.” these are standards. The men are strong, the women are delicate. I never agreed with those. I was sloppy and fought, not caring how I looked. And for that befriending feminine girls was hard for me. Now Marina never said this song was misogynistic, she said it was catty. Which it is. It’s saying “all girls are the same but not me” “I’m not like other girls” so I get why she doesn’t like it however it makes complete sense if it’s not just girls in general and more just *those* girls. Toxic feminine girls.
people always say this is an “I’m not like other girls” or a “pick me” song, but why would Marina WANT to be like the girls she is describing in the song.. ? she’s not saying all women are bad, she’s describing the gossiping girls who thrive off drama. we don’t want to be like them. We want to be ourselves and tell those people to get out of our lives

I know this song is basically "I'm not like other girls" with a lot of internalized misogyny but I've being bullied a lot by girls and this hits on another level. Girls were so mean for no reason in middle school lol.
Wait because same i was bullied for no reason in middle school not only by girls but the girls were so mean and awful for some reason and in high school i couldn't really fit with the others for some reason and they all hated me as well for some reason so that song really hits different for me too

Thanks for this, the song is amazing and I can't learn it without perfect lyrics on the screen as well! AND YOU ACTUALLY USED PUNCTUATION! I swear your the first channel that knows what a question mark and speech marks are No offence to anyone intended
darkchocolat you’re welcome ! i’m glad you enjoyed it 💕 + yes i’m very weird about punctuation i feel the need to use it most of the time because i think it looks better haha (:
I often come back to this song. I've had many experiences where girls have compared themselves to me and ended up doing petty shit to hurt me. I love girls, as someone who is sapphic and who actively supports women's rights I want all women to feel supported and uplifted. I never want to blame the girls outright, all our lives we've been pitted against each other and encouraged to one up each other for men. But sometimes I just listen to this song and let myself be mad. This song I think reflects how I see myself, someone isn't very conventionally attractive, but I don't play the game. I would rather find my identity outside of looking pretty, and that confidence makes girls who have been fed lies that they aren't pretty or smart feel the need to be mad. I think art can take many forms, and it's a bit therapeutic to take a second and just be mad about how girls are taught to be, and treat other women.
BRO- I can relate to this so much it’s crazy- I didn’t think any one else felt like that they are more masculine than feminine as a girl that isn’t just a pick me- THANK YOU. 😭😭
You're not alone! I used to feel like that a lot when I was younger - to be fair, I discovered I was trans at age 14 and that explains that - but I also ended up making friends with girls who saw themselves as very masculine. I hope you find people that think alike! (Also, in my expierence people who seem like a pick me often do it to express a genuine part of their identity in a way that still makes them feel desirable and accepted and use it as a sort of protection, as unlikeable as it is.)
also before someone replies "its not meant to be like that" I KNOW THAT it just comes off that way so it reminds me of my im not like other girls phase
There are 3 types of people in the comment section people saying this song is satire but they still like it, people saying it’s about toxic feminine girls and unironically sounding catty, and people under the trans umbrella relating to the lyrics
No she said that she didnt want to make it sound like that but instead she wanted it to show the affects society on females such as thinking about how many calories they should eat or how girls should gossip about each other
@@doomslayer1481 she said “i think it’s very indicative of internalized misogyny i had at the time” it’s ok to recognize faults and move forward from them
I love this. It has a catchy beat, shows what's happening with the world, the troubles that people cause because of their own insecurities, and the pain they can cause others. Everyone needs the help they should have.
I love this song soo much! its sad Marina doesnt sing it anymore. If she doesnt like the mygonystic words and stuff, she could chnage the words but still have the same song ifykyk.
I really like this song. Reminds me of why I became Non-Binary in the first place. Being born female comes with so much weight and expectations. But it's fun to fight! It's fun to get in the dirt and do stupid things and do all the guy things. This song feels like how I feel on the inside. Outside a girl. Inside a guy. Non-Binary to have the best of both worlds.
Im an autistic girl, never understood the gossip and silent bullying/exclusion bits of female socialization tbh. Never made sense to me and that always enraged them to no end LOLL On my dads acc btw
This song is perfect to describe my gender dysphoria/internalized misogyny, for years i heard "you can't do that because you're a woman" or "you are a woman so you must be perfect and always be happy" i dont indentify as trans but at the same time i wish i was a man, because the expectations for women are so high, and i believe i can't ever exceed them.
I listen to this song many times in a row and my inner feminist is indignant because it sounds a bit misogynistic but my non-binary/gender fluid/trans parts of my brain are just vibing 💅✨🐍
I love this song so much because it's about women who put other women down when they act differently than how women are "supposed" to act according to modern standards. I wish there was more song just like this
@@cookiecat7759I don’t see how the lyrics “women are expected to look under 30” is indicative of internalized misogyny it’s definitely social commentary on how women are viewed in society
i’m a trans guy, and my mom is very misogynistic and transphobic, fat shaming, racist, and just lowkey the worst. i internalized a lot of the misogyny and this kind of describes the beginning of my transition. “of all the calories they eat” is just like when i’m just vibing and my moms like “i’m so fat” and i’m legit right next to her (she is very healthy, and i weigh much more than her) idk just thoughts
The Venn Diagram of Men who misunderstand and glorify Rick and Morty or Fight Club and the Women who misunderstand Marina and glorify the lifestyle she's parodying is a circle
I can see how it comes across misogynistic, but I kind of see it the opposite: that these girls aren't like that because they want to be but because they feel like they have to be, and addresses that here's a girl who sees that struggle and is choosing to fight it for those who can't.
I relate to this. I got bullied in secondary school for not rolling up my skirt (im from the uk, so we had a uniform). I swapped to trousers and it got worse. It fucked up my veiw of femininity and greatly hindered my realisation that i was trans
Same here. Like I'm just vibing to this song, enjoying it. But they will look at you and call you a misogynist just because you dare to like this song. I hate it here
This song is about pick me girls. Did we forget that most girls used to be like this in the past? Gossiping and bullying other girls just because they were not like them? It's a song that fits its time. Girls used to be like this. Things changed NOW. As a girl who got bullied for years especially from other girls, I understand this song very well. Marina here is being sarcastic about a miserable way to be a woman... Sorry my bad english
That's not what i was suggesting@@woerm Edit: By "vise-versa" i meant "I'm not a boy" """phase""" (not trying to say "phase" as a "it's just a phase mom" i meant it in a time passing type of 'phase') I wasn't trying to question your identity nor trans ideology ✌But for reasons i can't explain, i'm still very greatful to hear your type of reply
The fact that most people can’t see that this song addresses the painful sides of female socialisation and isn’t just a pick me song :((
Omg this comment helped me to understand the lyrics
Exactly it’s sad

I listen to this song many times in a row and my inner feminist is indignant because it sounds a bit misogynistic but my non-binary/gender fluid/trans parts of my brain are just vibing 💅✨🐍
I’m not even the target audience for this song but I love it
I love this song so much because it's about women who put other women down when they act differently than how women are "supposed" to act according to modern standards. I wish there was more song just like this
Honestly never saw this song as a misogynistic song, and I kinda relate to it a lot...also I just like the song overall, so...uh...yeah-
I'm not a boy, but I always felt bad for women with how society wanted them to be a certain way, and this song just says it all.
I love the picture you chose for this song in the background
Ok ngl this song gave me an existential crisis
Same
it's sad how nobody knows the meaning of the song
It really Is
marina confirmed herself in an interview that this song had mysoginistic ideals and that she's grown from tha
@@cookiecat7759I don’t see how the lyrics “women are expected to look under 30” is indicative of internalized misogyny it’s definitely social commentary on how women are viewed in society
This song is honestly so sad if you pay close attention to the lyrics 😔
This song reminds me of my childhood
i’m a trans guy, and my mom is very misogynistic and transphobic, fat shaming, racist, and just lowkey the worst. i internalized a lot of the misogyny and this kind of describes the beginning of my transition. “of all the calories they eat” is just like when i’m just vibing and my moms like “i’m so fat” and i’m legit right next to her (she is very healthy, and i weigh much more than her) idk just thoughts
Imagine if you said, guess it does run in the family
Sorry those are my intrusive thoughts :0
This song is literally my gender envy
"wag your tails, wag your tails to the beat"
wow my new fav song
Is it weird that I am vibing to all her songs as a straight dude?
no lol
of course not! u can listen to whatever u want
@@espy7516 yeah of course, but I wonder if some inner gayness might be coming out...
@@miksceihners50 if thats what u think
@@miksceihners50 it won’t 💀
I doubt you even dream about men so it’s fine.
This song is quite catchy
The song is catchy and funky
This 1.25 is fire
first marina song I’ve ever seen (I love it)
The Venn Diagram of Men who misunderstand and glorify Rick and Morty or Fight Club and the Women who misunderstand Marina and glorify the lifestyle she's parodying is a circle
the way she said ''na na na na'' my fav part ngl
I can't even relate more to this
this isnt abt being a trans guy but i relate to this quite a lot
Same
Bro the best song
I can see how it comes across misogynistic, but I kind of see it the opposite: that these girls aren't like that because they want to be but because they feel like they have to be, and addresses that here's a girl who sees that struggle and is choosing to fight it for those who can't.
Thaks for this song!
"How many times did u listen to this?"
Yes
Slay 🎉🎉
I relate to this. I got bullied in secondary school for not rolling up my skirt (im from the uk, so we had a uniform). I swapped to trousers and it got worse. It fucked up my veiw of femininity and greatly hindered my realisation that i was trans
Hits hard as a transmasc
Well I'm certainly wagging my tail to Girls Aloud :)))
Am I the only person in this comment section that just likes the song and doesn’t care about the lyrics meaning
Same here. Like I'm just vibing to this song, enjoying it. But they will look at you and call you a misogynist just because you dare to like this song. I hate it here
0:50-1:09
This whole chorus:
Me: *nervously sweats*
this sounds so good!!
as a tomboy IRL, I love this song (Tomboy means a girl who acts like a guy)
you know this song is satire right...
@@cringeygachakidthatalsodoe7154 yes
This song is satire about people like you..
Girl-
girl...
This song is about pick me girls. Did we forget that most girls used to be like this in the past? Gossiping and bullying other girls just because they were not like them? It's a song that fits its time. Girls used to be like this. Things changed NOW. As a girl who got bullied for years especially from other girls, I understand this song very well. Marina here is being sarcastic about a miserable way to be a woman... Sorry my bad english
I like this song
Everyone listening to this has either had a "I'm not like other girls phase" phase or a "I'm not a girl" phase
Um no.....
no im just trans
i think that's what they mean by the "im not a girl phase" but viceversa@@woerm
@@thatonellamawhoissoobsesse8138 except no, being trans isn't a "im not like other girls" phase.
That's not what i was suggesting@@woerm
Edit: By "vise-versa" i meant "I'm not a boy" """phase""" (not trying to say "phase" as a "it's just a phase mom" i meant it in a time passing type of 'phase')
I wasn't trying to question your identity nor trans ideology ✌But for reasons i can't explain, i'm still very greatful to hear your type of reply
I JUST REALISED THIS THE THE FIRST SONG THAT MADE ME KNOW ABOUT MARINA
this like the modern art of music
I do think girl were trained or taught to compete with each other
I do sometimes cringe to this song but it's pretty good!
This is now officially my genderfluid theme song
I'm a trans guy but I relate to this song so much
"look like a girl but I think like a guy" it's literally me
💞
this sounds like a villain song
As a gender fluid person, those first verses go hard.
Im not like other girls- the anthem
i just came here for the beat
Playing this in 1.25x speed is much better
I RELATE SO MUCH
That's not a good thing
idk wat this song is abt but as a trans dude.
this song slaps hard
Its about the way girls treat eachother because of insecurities😁
It's literally internalized misogyny...
