The fact that she felt she had to apologize/be embarrassed by all this just proves her point even further
I feel like a lot of the things ashley apologizes for in all her videos are exactly proving the point that girls/women are raised to be ashamed of what they enjoy. It's really groundbreaking of her to know and share that society is messed up in this way, and it's gonna take a lot of work for her (as well as all of us) to break that messed up thinking in ourselves.
3,000th like! :D
and thats on misogyny babeyy
xOr yeah men have to keep up the act that they’re “cool” at all times. So guys who are into anime tend to be embarrassed/ashamed of it. But women deal with it on a much larger scale, almost all feminine activities are ridiculed. Women can only be seen as “cool” if they adhere to predominantly/stereotypically Male interests like sports and gaming.
xOr ur replying to all these comments about misogyny and putting ur opinion in like it doesnt exist. Can you not just accept that this is a problem and women can talk about it when they want too. Stop trying to diminish womens feelings because you are an insecure troglodyte.
If Jenna Marbles isn’t too old to be on tiktok and turning herself into an e-girl with no shame, then same goes to you Ashley 💖
21 year old ladyyy
i literally just came from jenna marbles’s hair wand video 😂
I loved what you spoke about and it reminded me of when Harry Styles defended his younger female fans- “Who's to say that young girls who like pop music -- short for popular, right? -- have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy,” Styles questioned. “That's not up to you to say. Music is something that's always changing. There's no goal posts. Young girls like the Beatles. You gonna tell me they're not serious?” “How can you say young girls don't get it?” Styles pointed out. “They're our future. Our future doctors, lawyers, mothers, presidents, they kind of keep the world going.” (Omg Ashley like my comment! ❤️)
YES! My sentiments exactly. I love Harry a lot and Ashley's thoughts about it reminded me of him.
That's why I love Harry! Was this an interveiw? I really want to watch it!
Littlepizzasinacone it’s actually not a video but an interview from The Rolling Stones ad if you just search up Harry Styles with just “girls are our future” you’ll find it ☺️
@@sofiasanchez2807 Thank you!
GAH LOVE HIM
Don’t worry Ashley my mom is 40 and got tik tok and she’s obsessed with it and begs me to make a tik tok dance 😂
Wait same
This is so cute! 🥰
same, its so funny bc she begs me to download it lmao
Iris Cortez oof
my mom is trying to teach me the renegade lmaO
ok we’ve conquered “it’s okay to be like other girls” now let’s focus on “it’s okay to like things that people younger than me also like”
the ultimate step would be "it's okay to like whatever your like"... But the world isn't ready for this rn I think :/
PREACH! I am almost 30 and I love this trend.
True! Everyone has the right to like whatever they like. There's no age to something intangible so I'll continue to enjoy my barbie movies, spam frozen 2 soundtrack and many more "kid" activities like it's no one's business
Honestly yes!!! When she said she was 21 and too old to like tik tok I was like girl I'm 24 and obsessed with tik tok. Lol.
I mean jenna marbles loves tiktok as well and totally rocked the egirl look!
“it’s okay to be like other girls” should become a trend
Brenda Luo no it should be “we are all like other girls” sounds better
vnezza xo much better wording, thanks!
well im not like other girls
YASSSS
Brenda Luo 1K like 👊😔das me
“I’m not good at makeup.. but I’m having a good time.” THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF MAKEUP B !! 🥰
I’ve noticed that Ashley tends to talk about her generation like she’s not a part of it. She talks a lot about what the “kids these days” are doing but she’s one of them lol! I feel like she acts older than she is when she should be enjoying her youth. I saw another comment that said they don’t think Ashley realizes how many kids her age are on tiktok and that’s so true. I don’t mean this to any offense it’s just a personality trait I’ve noticed! Xoxo
Maybe she's an old soul.
I’m 20 and I totally feel like TikTok is also concentrated on 14-17 year olds but there are also a good bit that are my age, it just feels a bit more disconnected and feels like the younger ppl are more popular on it
i feel like part of this is because she graduated college so early? like most other 21 yr olds are still in school, potentially not super financially stable yet and not really sure how to do Adulting Things but graduating college THAT fast just kinda forced her to grow up into a whole ass independent adult a lot faster than most
but YEA it depends on who you follow! i'm not super active on tik tok but i've found a super big community of 20-somethings who also feel too old to be on the app but are obsessed (& popular!) anyways
yeah! lot of the people from the hype house for example are of her age more less
i mean she's a millennial and youth now tend to be generation z, so it's technically not her generation, especially when she refers to teenagers like in this video. she's not a kid she's an adult, and while yes it's normally for people in their twenties, especially young twenties, to be on tiktok and other social media ashley isn't a child or a teenager anymore?
Ashley: I'm going to turn myself into an e-girl
Also Ashley: actually talks about genderstereotyping, toxic masculinity and sex for the entire video
And this is why we love her content
Yea honestly tho thanks for not making a joke of everything and nowing when someone needs to stand up and take something seriously
@@leilashaban8032 exactly!!
The sex jokes are not new😂
As a guy in his late teens when you said that society conditions guys in such a way that they question their own sexuality if they don't act "masculine". I. felt. that. I paint my nails, I like fashion (and sometimes I'm adventurous and I wear traditionally feminine clothing), and I love me a good rom com. Because of this, my sophomore year of high school I convinced myself that I was at least bi because what kind of straight guy enjoys any of that? It took me several years to finally figure it all out. I'm not gay, I'm not bi. I'm just a straight guy who happens to enjoy all of those wonderful things
Edit: Thank you all so much for your support, y'all have definitely made my year. I hope that any other people out there who are like me can see this and feel just as validated as I do. Something that I've learned as I've gone through this little journey of mine is that if you express yourself the way you want to the people who don't like it will silently judge you. However, the people who like what you're doing will tell you to your face -- just like all of these wonderful people here. Don't be afraid to be who you are, people will love you for you, and hopefully you can love yourself too. Thank you all ♥️
Edit 2: oops i'm a trans girl
you go my guy !!
Because how you express your gender does not have anything to do with sexual orientation. You do you, fuck the stereotypes! :)
hell yes !!
ngl i'd wanna paint a guy's nails
Danggg u're literally my dream guy.
ashley: dressed as an e-girl
also ashley dressed as an egirl: talking about societal issues and gender norms while using big words YES WE LOVE TO SEE IT
(edit)
HOLY SHIT THIS IS ALMOST AT 1K WOAH TY
Yes!!! “girls have fun”and”serious talk”don’t have to be totally opposite things
Yes they're not mutually exclusive
Reminds me of AOC's vogue video ❤️
YES!!! :))
1.2k ;)
my not like other girls trend ended when i realized i liked girls and went “wait other girls aren’t bad they’re hot” thank you for coming to my ted talk
I LOVE THIS
its wild to me how 21 is considered “too old” for tiktok or an aesthetic when 21 is still considered somewhat young in the grand scheme of things on youtube or instagram or just like...in general in the world
And I don't even understand why because like, i would say around 80% of the videos that I see on my for you page are from people that are at least older than 18
i think we romanticize teenage years waaaaay too much and end up thinking that anything above 18/19 is old when in reality, at ashley's age, you're still dealing with a little bit of that naivety of your younger years. yeah you're def not the same person you were in high school, but seeing people my age thinking they're too old to do fun stuff when they just recently turned the legal age for drinking alcohol in some countries is honestly almost heartbreaking
Most of the boys constantly taking off their shirts to Drake's songs are 25 years atleast.
Truuueee as a 21 yo myself I feel young everywhere but when I see teenagers like 14-18 I feel like my life just flashed in front of my eyes and I’m waiting for my retirement income
Somewhat young? 21 is waaaay young. Think of the most major instagrammers, most are 25/26+. Our culture just stupidly simultaneously wants to extend the years of what is considered youth, but also live fast and thinks that 17, 18, 19 is the prime years.
Ashley: “i have never put fake eyelashes on” Also Ashley: puts them on perfectly in 2 seconds
You beat me to it😂😂 I’m struggling while Ashley pops it in in one second!😢😂
Yes! How is that possible?! I'm so jealous 😭
@i why would she lie? i've never seen her wear fake lashes (online, at least) in like the 2 years i've been watching her videos
i That’s such a stupid thing to lie over
Grace Less but it’s possible, I don’t think she would lie about it but they pull a good argument
i turned on captions cause i'm like deaf lol and when u said "i have so much respect for tik tokers" the captions said that u said "i have so much respect for dick colours" (17:06)
LMFAOO
i was going to post the same thing! later it said tick chalkers.
the discussion you had about cultural capital is so important. I didn’t even know there was a term for this until a few months ago but it really puts things in perspective for me. What’s sad is it’s not just “basic” girls who are hated for their interests, but girls who are more alternative and into less stereotypically feminine things are also bashed for trying to be “quirky” and “not like other girls”. Basically, no matter what kind of girl you are, our male dominated society will find a way to make you feel bad about yourself.
Ashley: "I'm 21 which is way too old for tiktok"
Me, a 29 year old on tiktok : ........
Jenna Marbles, a 32 year old on tiktok: .............
*a 32 year old laaaady
I think she's 33 now!
Same here at 29 lololol
lmao had the same thoughts as a 29 year old lady on tiktok

Cries in 32😭 I love tik tok idc

Cries in 37 ☹️
Sameeee

This could be just me but when you said e-girl style included 'choke me daddy' vibes it helped me realise why I feel so uncomfortable seeing underage girls doing it. Not that there's anything wrong with expressing sexuality but as you said kids are emulating these trends at younger ages.
Not to mention how hazardous choking is. One intencent give heightens risk. You can die days later from a "near miss" incident.
the more you know about it the safer you are. I knew I was into it at age 12 and back then I felt so wrong about it but was really lucky to find a community that helped me accept and practise it safely.
Kittensu how does one get into choking at 12 years old?
@@Pandarageful good question. I was/am mentally unstable. Which doesn't make it okay but kids will do what they want to do anyways so we better make sure they are doing it safely. Imo
@Pixi no this is why children shouldn't have abusive parents
She refers to herself like an adult and I'm only 1 year younger than her and I feel like a child.
I'm one year older and feel like a child too
I'm 6 years older than her and I'm indeed old 😭
@@syams0l nah you're beautiful sis
same and i'm her age lol, i was so surprised when i found out she's 21, i thought she was at least 24 cause she's so mature
@@lorenacanals5845 I thought that too!! She is really independent and I still ask my dad to wake me up in the mornings;(
I’m a guy and one time when we had a book fair there was this book about mermaids and I thought it looked so cool but I was terrified of looking at it or buying it because of all the judgement I’d get for it and being called gay.
Turns out I am gay but that’s besides the point
it sounds like a scenario LOL the turning point at the end xD
Well i hope you now have the confidence to buy every fricking book you want :D
Just Fin that’s what online shopping is for. Hurray for technology!!
Just Fin your energy is IMMACULATE
Ella wenstrand omg thank you
It’s totally okay for “older” young adults to have fun with “teen” things. It’s also okay to just do things because you’re having fun. It was really nice to see you having fun and getting to try new things!
Of course! And plus, it's always ten times better when a youtuber actually has fun while doing a video
i screamed when she said maybe ill take pictures and send them to my exes who liked anime lmfaooo i love ashley
A while ago I watched a Ted talk that brought something that I dealt with for a long time in my life but never connected the dots on how it compared to my brother's interests... so in my teenage years, I liked one direction among other various boy groups and I was * still am* really into kpop. For that I was constantly picked on and made fun of by my brother and sometimes even my mother. So what the person said in the TED talk was why is it acceptable that boys like superheroes and are viewed as cool and when girls like barbies they are silly and fragile? The more important question is, why is any trait that is socially stereotyped as girly or feminine viewed as a gay thing when men do it? Why can't we just accept things for what they are?!
In conclusion, men naturally don't like to feel threatened and since only not liking something doesn't actively show that they are distant from that certain thing, they have to show by publically hating on it, not knowing that it's way simpler than that. Traits are just traits and people are just people. Take things as they are.
Do you remember in which TED Talk they say that?? I want to watch it
Which Ted talk?

This made me laugh xD
Not a good thing. Supposed to be asleep
I loved the way you talked about how toxic and damaging the perspective in which we look down at "fangirls" and "basic girls" is, and how much it also affects men in their teens and makes them almost be forced to repress their own feelings towards pop culture in general. For example, I keep seeing all of these videos of rock dudes in their mid to late 20's reacting to songs by Taylor Swift and crying over how much her songs mean to them now, and it's honestly so refreshing to see but at the same time it's heartbreaking to know that it took them that long to be able to freely enjoy sappy, pop music and acknowledging that it can also speak to their emotions.
E-girls are just a reinvented modern version of emo/scene girls. I love that the style has stayed alive!
I was big into that style and honestly never fully moved on.

"your girl is kinky" Ashley said as if we didn't know that. 😂

Omg, thank you for say omg it’s bad to make fun of girls. This is why I hated the VSCO Girl thing, it was a trend for making fun of girls for liking normal things, like scrunchies and hydro flasks. It’s literally a water bottle! Ok sorry you read all this!
“Teenage girls should not be made fun of for liking teenage girl things” ❤️🙏🏻 PREACH
Bethany Marble not trying to be problematic but i’ve never been made fun of for things i like people just don’t really care
abby johnson I mean I guess that’s your personal experience. Cause I never tell people I like BTS because the first things people say are “Why?!” “You can’t even understand them smh”
“You only like them because they’re good looking” (and this is off topic but bts isn’t even a teenage girl thing it’s just that for some reason people associate bts with young obsessive girls which is dumb) And I don’t mean on the internet I mean in real life. But yeah everyone has had a different experience with the topic.
abby johnson it’s ok! I don’t see that as problematic and I’m happy you’ve never been made fun of for things you like ☺️
Coryn C. yeah i get that i guess i do kinda keep stuff like that to myself lol
Its so weird that guys make fun of us for calling ourselves "quirky" and "different from other girls" but will then make fun of us for liking basic things and liking things that other girls like. Sooo what are we supposed to like then?
that just sounds like a long way of saying "im not like the other girls" >:(
Preach sister
@@keifoster9789 Why whenever a girl says something bout how she is turned down for what people say she likes she's being the stereotypical 'I'm not like other girls. Not like there's anything wrong with that. But did you even listen to the message she was trying to preach?
@@SuperrRat I did and i stand by what i say?
@@keifoster9789 Yeah but what are girls supposed to like so they aren't labeled "not like other girls" or "basic"? We should forget about labels but we all know young girls really cling onto a way to identify themselves and it's toxic. I just don't see what middle they can reach if people are gonna bash them anyways.
man i relate so hard!! i used to “hate” wearing dresses and skirts cos it seemed too girly and the other girls all wore pants and stuff, and th at wearing rlly feminine clothes was somehow linked to being flirty and trying to get attention from guys??? now i love feminine clothes but my frens and ppl ard me would notice the sudden change in style skjdjsks
ps ASHLEY LOOKS SUPER CUTE IN EGIRL MAKEUP
When I saw the title for this video I was worried it would be yet another in the onslaught of exactly what you complained about in this video: hating on teenage girls for exploring and pioneering new fashion trends. I was so pleasantly surprised to see your positivity towards the fashion trends that young women are sharing on Tiktok. I really appreciate your wise words and I am re-evaluating times in my life where I have down-played my interests for fears of being like other people, or of having my interests invalidated because they are common.
*“Teenage girls shouldn’t be made fun of for enjoying teenage girl things.”* -Ashley
As we all grow up, move out, and invite each other over to watch Barbie movies lol
7:03: teenage girls shouldn’t be made fun of for liking teenage girl things.
this is the best e-girl makeover video i’ve ever seen.
the internal misogyny that comes eith being a teenage girl SUCKS UGH! i love how societys just like teenage girls exist?? okay everything you like is BAD
you know you're now an adult when you reference Marina and the Diamonds 😭 that Electra Heart/Born to Die Tumblr Era was gold
...I guess I'm a adult now even though I'm 14. Man, I was hoping I stay a child for a little longer at least
As a 15 year old girl, it really is difficult to be able to like girly things like makeup and skincare, which I am very invested in. (I eventually want to become a dermatologist) I was called a cake face constantly in middle school (what a time) and couldn't even mention to my close friends that I liked different fandoms, had ships in said fandoms, had a small anime phase, and other normal tween girl interests without being teased. I genuinely felt really happy when you were talking about this subject and the repercussions it has on your mental health, I could definitely relate. Thank you!
it will never make sense to me that teenage girls will get shamed for liking things that are made for teenage girls. it doesn't matter what the trend is... we used to be embarrassed for liking uggs and one direction, now it's tik tok and chunky filas. no matter what teenage girls like, they will be shamed for it, because the world is just used to hating them. them angry white men will be like "no their trends are just always bad" like just say you hate teenage girls and go
exactly. in general, femininity is frowned upon. why do you think there’s an entire subreddit about girls who act like they’re different? because they don’t want to be seen as feminine. why do you think “girl” can be used as an insult?
yoooo watch the dear stephanie meyer video by lindsay ellis it like examines all this shit in a really critical and interesting way
I agreed up until the point where u included "white men" lol when I was a kid and loved to play with Barbie it was GIRLS who would bully and mock me for it not boys, the boys could care less wtf
And if girls wanna hate pink and Barbie and skirts, cook and do crochet is because THEY don't wanna be part of the girly stuff, they wanna be "not like other girls", they wanna be the special snowflake, it's not men that made them want to be that, THEY think that's what men want but they just to it for other women/girls
allison this is why as teenagers girls we should stick together and stop attacking one another
The Beatles weren't considered good until men liked their music. They where a boy band.
Sofia Reynoso good point 👏🏾
Wowww
same abt star trek it was largely marketed towards stay at home mums & then men started liking it and suddenly it was a Real Interest and women weren't allowed to like it anymore lmao

@@crabhell I don't think that's true? My grandpa was an OG fan (even tho he was a little old for the targeted group) and it was always populated by mostly males as is most sci-fi things.

funny watching this in Feb 2022 where Tiktok is such a massive zeitgeist and I feel like it's totally normal for 21+ year old people to be on the app lmao
"Imagine if we made fun of teenage boys for liking super heroes the same way we made fun of young girls liking twilight."

i kind of get that~ like it's easy to NOTICE and call out those aspects of society. but it can still embarrass you to go against the flow. It's just human nature. But the fact that she made a whole video of her obsessing over tiktok and this e-girl look, shows that she really doesnt care as much anymore anymore, and embracing these "girly" things
I think it's less of a teenage girl and more of a general dislike for tiktok.
@@chromitehertz9016 Oh man, I have a friend who would not listen to twenty one pilots ONLY because he said girls listen to them. That was 4 years ago. Just last week he criticized a dude online for wearing makeup and appearing feminine.... why am I still friends with this person..
I think it's okay to critique society even when you're still working on your own inner baggage! it's a process imo
And she keeps bashing guys who like anime....she always talks about empowering both women and men, but then turns around and makes fun of people’s interest. You can’t be a spiteful comedian while claiming to be a strong humanitarian.
I feel like Ashley deserves a podcast more than ANYONE else on youtube.
YES please make a podcast Ashley!!
Yaassss and speak about deep stuff like the sexism u just mentioned! I literally love listening to you speak
oh my god i would listen so hard
PLEASE
Organizer Planner Yes! Yes! Yes!
I love how this is Ashely's first time putting on fake lashes and she does it like a pro while I've been wearing fake lashes for two years and I still manage to glue one eye shut
I've always said that I don't get why 'basic' ever became a thing to say in a derogatory way - there's a REASON it's a basic *insert clothing item, electronic, song, whatever*, it's because it's generally well-liked; ergo, get a life and stop trying to judge people for "being basic"
OMG when she talked about sexism everything she said was true!! Men camping outside of a stadium for football: “love of the game so cool” but when women camp outside of a stadium for a concert they’d be like “OMG women stupid camping outside for their favs who don’t give a shit about them” but it is exactly the same thing. Or just like that time when I was arguing with someone who was being racist towards Chinese people because of coronavirus (which is not an excuse for him to be racist) but other men kept attacking me and acted even more racist because “woman stupid, man right” ugh I am so sick and tired of this
I know. It kind of reminded me of a comment my history teacher made. He was talking about a little conversation he had with a girl in one of his classes. He was talking about how she was a huge Justin Bieber fan. He then went on to say that most fans of musicians etc are girls. Just the way he said it really pissed me off. He even went as far as making silly faces and pretending he was "a crazy fangirl". Of course all the boys in the class agreed with him and laughed along. Honestly it's just so annoying.
To me they are both dumb.
Who knows I am so sorry you have to go through this. People are incredibly stupid and uneducated

(i don’t actually have a problem with ppl doing that btw, and i understand the impulse to try to coach your team from the couch, but you can’t mock a girl for getting too invested in the bachelor when you base your mood for the night on if “your” team won or not) (edit for spelling)
@Who knows Countering racism with more racism doesn't help anyone. Everyone's different and terrible people are present in all races and cultures. The best revenge is in ignoring the hateful morons and living a happy successful life in spite of them. Stay strong!
I’m currently a teenage girl and I’ve always been terrified of expressing a big interest in anything “girly” and I always make fun of myself for “being a basic white girl” before anyone else can.
PREACH!!
Bro same!!!!!!
Don’t ever fear or apologize for what truly makes you happy. F them! 😉
I recomend you mrs midwest channel, she talk about feminine things. I like "girly" things to and she make me realize that is nothing wrong about it.
It's okay to like the things you do. Alot of the girls that talk crap about girly stuff are just dealing with internalized misogyny.
"I'm not really good at makeup, but I'm having fun" is what everyone should be like. 💓💓
Btw I love your makeup 😍
“im really not good at this, but im having a good time” literally me with any one of my hobbies ever
Whenever she says "I'm too old, I'm 21!" Girl, 21 is a lil' baby. I'm actually pretty sure TIk Tok was made for people around your age group lol.
You're only just getting into what will be years of learning experiences and madness. This is coming from a 27 year old who's only just getting settled with some things in her life. I genuinely DO feel old for tik tok. But I also see people on there who are definitely older than me so pretty sure it's just an app for everyone. I personally keep trying to get into it but I'm not getting the hype just yet
Im 28, and I agree that for me it was funny to hear "I am too old im 21" 🤣 I felt so old😥
To be fair even if TikTok was made for 21 year olds the major demographic on it is mostly kids under 18. I’m only 22 and being on TikTok makes me feel like a old lady even though I know I’m still really young.
So agree with this! Also in general hearing all these youtubers who are in their early 20s thinking they’re old.. you’re still experiencing the earliest stage of adult life, don’t be so quick to write yourself off! People act like turning 30 is an expiration date.
Haha I thought the same. I forgot she is just 21. She is kind of an old soul. But still if I remember how most 21 year old are, they are basically still children, that fight to be seen as adults. But she would pass for a real adult if she would not define herself over such things as how much she likes tik tok. If you like tik tok thats ok at any age. She should know that its addicting because it targets the reward system of the brain.
21 is a baby! I'm 30 and I still don't even feel like an adult. Don't worry Ashley, you're fineeeeeee!! Go on with your bad self.
omg i dressed like an e-girl today and this boy who kinda know said, "do you know the youtuber bestdressed?" and i said yes and he was like "your makeup reminds me of hers" and askjdisdn
itsamemorgio aw I’m 🥺🥰for you
Omg there is not greater compliment!!!
I love that he isn't embarrassed to mention that he watched this channel. Great step to ending toxic masculinity 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
aw i love that boi 🥺🥺 also, i recently cut my own bangs and i got the BIGGEST compliment ever. my sister told me, “u look like ur favorite youtuber (ashley)” ahhhhHhHhHh 🥺🥺🥺
YASSSSSS
Ashley: «We live in a society»
Me: she’s a genious
6:05 As I’m watching this at 11 at night. This has got me. That is so true as a society we need to allow women/girls/ladies to live their lives how they want to, to like things that they want to. Dang. Let other people live their lives and you live yours
She starts off the video by thinking that a 21 year old is “far too old” to be on Tik Tok. Oh sweet child, you are the target demographic.
well yes and no, if the demographic is a bell curve then she’s slightly on the middle right, where the tail is like 25, 26, and 30 is like very low probability. Prime age range is middle-high school
Pfft the target demographic is high schoolers and below
Most people on tiktok is aged 16-20 but Ashley is not too far from that
With how old she kept saying she was, I was thinking maybe...25-28+? Nope. Just a lil bub! I'm gonna be 29 this year and I still feel like a dang child.
@@caylesx almost same here! I'm gonna be 28 this year
Girls back in 2010: STRUGGLING to put on fake eyelashes after the 100th
Ashley: effortlessly puts on fake eyelashes for the first time
This bothered me too. I have had false eyelashes in my makeup bag for approximately 10 years. I have tried all the brands. I have tried magnetic double lashes, magnetic eyeliner lashes. MASTER OF NONE. I don't wear false eyelashes.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
EXACTLY what I was thinking 😂
Yeah, wth?? ;(
shes just naturally good at everything and it is a fact that we must accept
Seeing you so happy about turning yourself into an e-girl makes my heart jump!! I hate that so often we feel ashamed of simply doing harmless things that we know will bring us joy. I'm turning 21 this year and it makes me happy that I finally feel like I can do all the things I wanted to do when I was a teenager without fear of being ridiculed. Not that I won't be ridiculed because I ABSOLUTELY WILL BE, but now I a) don't care, and b) feel like I own myself more?? if that makes sense?? i mean, i don't owe shit to anyone anymore and people can't police me about the things I do anymore. Sometimes I'm ashamed bc I feel like maybe I'm too old for certain stuff, but then I remember that we're all gonna die one day and it could be very soon so I'm just gonna do the things that make me happy, I'm not hurting anyone so, whatever. I dyed my hair green a month ago and I adore it. ❤️
Bro she’s the only human that makes me actually laugh. The part where she laughs at herself while watching her own tiktok😂😂😂😂😂😂 imma pass out
"it's kind of like punk rock and anime and choke-me-daddy-porn had a love child" xD this is so accurate tho xD
not punk rock more like emo/ grunge lol
Ashley " I've never worn lashes"
Also Ashley. Puts them on perfectly first time.
@M I've been using lashes for years and I still can't get them right
Did she trim them tho?!
I really hope it’s just the magic of editing. Or we should all just leave the lashes to her and other people who can do this first try 😂😂😂
I'm literally watching this after a video that deconstructed the "cool girl" trope and when you started talking about the lack of culture capital women/girls (esp. teens) have i was like oH YES BABY I AM HERE FOR THIS
Legit Ashley's channel is the only one where I've liked every video, and if I forgot I will always go back and like them. I feel actual shame if I forget, due to the talent and work this girl puts into her content. I've never heard anyone properly express what everyone is thinking like this girl ❤️
the thing ashely’s voice does when she starts talking about something she’s passionate about or she has a lot of info on. we stan 👏🏻. that voice makes me very happy cause i know she’s enjoying what she’s talking about hehe
Her voice kinda cracked and I was like shit it's about to get serious hahah I'm happy she talks about shit like this
The “any beauty guru watching rn is screaming” is equivalent to a teacher’s “I’m not an artist” when drawing something
Jshsj Jwjaond lmAOO i love this comment so so much
YES completely lol
But she’s so good at makeup dude I could never do that!
this comment is so underrated
You looked like you were having so much fun! Never be ashamed of how you find and express your joy! You’re not hurting anyone and you raised a lot of interesting questions. You keep experimenting with joy because life will find ways to try to take it from you! Please continue growing and exploring you exhibit great courage!
Did not expect the ted talk in the middle but LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. ❤️
Normal people: "turning myself into an e-girl"
Ashley: lets turn this basic video into the best things you are going to see this week - smiles -
Ashley calling herself “too old”, me being older than her...TT IM TOO ANCIENT
Fuck that, I’m 39 and don’t feel guilty about that shit. I grew up on technology and chat rooms, doesn’t mean you magically stop caring about things when you reach a certain age.
@@bluepandaman haha its all about the attitude!
I literally love her points while keeping it entertaining like I literally love her so much
A LIFE HACK: get like a tooth pick or the end of those individual floss things, and a real cheap darker foundation, and diy freck for you!
Me: oh a typical e-girl transformation
Me halfway through: oh, no this is a lesson on masculinity and female role in film.
Ty for the blessing Ashley 🙏🏽
amanda lives ✨ yes!! Loved that surprise knowledge lolol
Same anw what'w wrong with an e-girl transformation
@@asjsk8286 nothing wrong with it. It's just typical.
@@literaIIyshy ok
Ashley acting like she’s too old to have fun for 18 minutes
She's so young tho it almost makes me mad 😭 like who tf told this girl she was old... Ever. She's not. In my culture she's practically a teenager LMAO
Alternative title
That's the first thing that I thought xD she always looks so young to me, though I'm only 23 but I'm married so that's probs why I feel old xD
as someone the same age as Ashley, I relate to her. I feel like I have to be so grown up all the time 😭
love all the things you touched on in this !! so refreshing to hear something REAL be talked about while doing a make up video
I love how you make a video that I usually will never gravitate to into something I end up finishing! You’re such a genuine person Ashley, you’re amazing!
Ashley removing falsies:
"It's like taking off a bra for your eyeballs"
girl I can't 😂
I love how happy she looks, she's enjoying herself and it's so cute
Yeah she looks so genuinely happy and it makes me happy too
EXACTLY! we as women do this for us- cos its fun to take care of ourselves and sometimes get pretty and not leave the house, cos it for us!!!!
LOVE THIS🤩 so happy to see you taking a moment to do something that gave you so much joy. don't be too hard on yourself ashley!! life is short and people grow up fast, so dont be embarassed of what trends/looks/things make you happy. you have the rest of your life to be a "wise adult" lol. sending you lots more happy moments.💕
i hope you're having a genuinely good time, nyc is one of my favorite cities and ur one of my favorite youtubers so i really hope its treating you well in this apocalyptic time, also: i loved this video fust fyi, really captured my thoughts of tik tok and put it into words
I feel like in college everyone was always laughing about "that goth phase" they had in middle school and I was nodding along while quietly thinking how much I loved the chunky boots, mini skirt, chunky accessories vibe, only with neon hair. And then Jenna and now Ashley are informing me about e-girls and I am legitimately so happy this aesthetic is here.
Omg SAME
She is literally talking deep topics while applying trendy make up just to make a point and I'm here for it, yes!! be our voice girl.
God I love this video so much. It’s one of my favourite videos ever. I have no idea why but it makes me so happy
Loved this one! As a 29 year old, I had so much fun going on this candid and lighthearted e-girl transformation with you and was happily surprised to encounter the surfacing of some very deep rooted issues and inconsistencies of our society among the fun. Love your perspective on issues, the approach you take in introducing them, your own struggles with acknowledging you (we) are also players in this game dictated by societal pressures. I think it’s awesome that you acknowledge being embarrassed... some comments seem to “shame” embarrassment. Anything that puts a vulnerable piece of yourself out there will be embarrassing. Most woman would be embarrassed to find an old video of them dancing at a party. It’s a human reaction. Embrace the embarrassment and then be proud of it! Good job Ashley, you are doing awesome stuff!
Ashley: mentions tiktok
Me: pauses video, opens tiktok
Me: realise 3 hours later i was watching Ashleys video about tiktok
Me: shit
Amanda Söderberg I’m sorry I’m about to ruin your comment, but she posted the video 2 hours ago and you commented 1 hour ago which means you watched TikTok only one hour.
Fu*k me im sorry for real, but I just can’t stop myself for some reason to comment this.
Ashley : I'll never download tiktok smh 🙄
Tiktok: renegade RENEGADE *RENeGAdEe*
*Armys are everywhere*
sorry I'm taken. right, Jimin? heyy i’ve seen you somewhere. also, relatable😂
My brain said that in a Dalek voice...
I loved that you leaned into this and decided to upload. Your best moments are when you’re totally yourself! So cute Xx
Hello!! please continue sit-down talks about important issues whilst doing make-up its sooooo refreshing and I lowkey find it interesting as well :)
"Things that men like, like sports and action film, are considered good taste. Whereas entertainment made for women are considered superficial and not intelligent."
This blew my mind because I've known it to be true yet have never known how to phrase it. We should all be proud of what we like, and respect others interest as well!
Also, I'm a 23 year old who loves TikTok so I feel you 💛
I thought it a little generic, since both men and woman can like sports, action films or romcoms and fashion. I think it's totally subjective. I like action movies but I can't understand why people like watching sports. I like slice of life movies and anime but I also like dark and gritty movies and anime. All you need is a opinion with sound reasoning to back it up and people will find you intelligent regardless of the material. I've convinced people who hated anime and thought it was for nerdy emos to give it a try. I've allowed myself to watch horror movies based on friends recommendation and I've been surprised to find that I enjoyed a few. The media/internet has you to believing that Ashley's statement is true but I think that if you look at those that matter, friends, family, acquaintances...that's not the conclusion of the general populace.
I'm not great at explaining things. Sorry.
yesss 23 adults that love tiktok unite 🙌🏼
I completely agree :) When Ashley said that I could relate to it a lot. I really like Kpop (especially BTS) and although I know that f.e. armys are very diverse and that BTS' lyrics are meaningful etc. I always hesitate to tell anyone about it because of the stereotypes that come with it. Most people's response will probably be something along the lines of "oh, I thought that's only for 12-years old girls" and say that while therefore that it can't be taken seriously, which is so stupid.
@@xy1784 I'm a bartender so the question of what music I like comes up a lot. I'm honest about it. I like kpop, VIXX, BTS, BTOB, etc. Some people will judge generally the older population but most find it interesting!
@@xy1784 No Way!! I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVE Kpop!
Ashley: TikTok is corrupting our youth
Also Ashley: 3 days ago, I downloaded TikTok and I kinda really like it...
I think there so many sides to tiktok that you can find some good ones
I mean TikTok is corrupting the youth because it's another platform that's rampant with cancel culture :/
I put off watching this video for a couple weeks but you managed to communicate a lot of my anxiety centered around this particular look and it brought me to tears. 💜
i love how ashley is so down to earth and talks about real problems and is just more real than other youtubers. we love you ashley you're the best beauty/fashion youtuber ive seen because you're not afraid to make jokes we love that you're like the cool bigger sister :)
Remember how The Beatles used to be a silly and stupid boy band when only young girls were into them...but then became super deep and one of the greatest bands of all time when men started listening to their music 👀 similar thing happened with Star Trek
Natalie Palmer omg thats so true tho. My dad listens to the Beatles and says they’re amazing and such an important part of music history, and doesn’t realise that stuff like BTS and 1 Direction is like, the same thing? My two younger sisters are really into Kpop and my dad thinks it’s weird that they’re “obsessed”. 🙄
azi Okay but truthfully, The Beatles are a more interesting band with much more complex and influential music whereas 1D will never be an ‘important part of music history’, so I’d have to side with your dad there!
Why is no one wondering how Ashley put the false lashes so flawlessly on her eyes even though it was her first time!!?!? I literally practise and still can’t do it 😂
Shivani Patel was wondering the same lol xD
i tried doing it for halloween once and decided to practice beforehand so i had some idea of what i was doing, long story short i’m a dumbass and almost glued my eyelid shut and couldn’t get the glue off so i went to school with lash glue all over my eyes ✌️
I love this video so much! I love hearing you speak about topics and tying them into what you’ve seen in life and what you learned in film school :)
"dating too many white guys who are really into anime?" lmaoooo
