The Rolling Stone elaborates on Rebecca Black’s infamous “Friday” video

If you have been on the internet at all this week (which I will assume is probably most of you), chances are, you’ve seen the infamous “Friday” music video from Rebecca Black. The Rolling Stone has posted an article with an interesting angle, titled, Why Rebecca Black’s Much-Mocked Viral Hit ‘Friday’ Is Actually Good. The article starts off stating that,

“… There’s something else going on here, something that makes “Friday” uniquely compelling. After all, there’s no shortage of insipid failed pop music out there, and Ark Music Factory is responsible for many other music videos by young unknowns that are just as cringe-inducing, if not much worse. When you see this video, you immediately notice everything that it does “wrong,” but it actually gets a lot of things about pop music right, if just by accident.”
