Meet Catey Shaw: The Rebecca Black of Brooklyn Gentrification | NOISEY

Sparky

This would actually benefit from being a tiny bit shittier

as it is, hard to come up with anything to say

Ive never been to Brooklyn so I don't know the ins and outs here but I'm fairly confident in saying that article was garbage anyway.

This takes the cake though like holy hell how idiotic can you possibly be. Ironic in an article that self proclaims itself to be against stereotypes

Oh and the song was ok.

bob.

personally i think the person who wrote the article is full of shit

it already is and has been for a while

then he goes on about this video points out all of the "worst elements" of what is Brooklyn

personally i felt it pointed out every stupid popular neighborhood in any major American city

the song is really bad....the video is a little fun but ultimately really bad

the guy who wrote this article has to realize that he lives in a city where someone who makes 40,000 a year is fucking dirt broke....and he wants to bitch about gentrification?

All I can say is the song should be called "Brooklyn Women"...and I liked the parrot.

I can't be motivated to feel such rancor as the article's author has for the video's portrayal of Brooklyn, because it doesn't bother me whether or not the video presents a stereotype that there are many pit bull mix or shoes on wires in Brooklyn...or people who look like Lorde, which I think would be pretty funny!

This is the article I read about it.

'Brooklyn Girls' is the most hated song on the internet right now | The Music Mix | EW.com

The song is only popular and making the rounds for critics to jump on it like a punching bag that is it. If you actually look at the views for the video it isn't that high. No one is really talking about this song because most people don't care.

Brooklyn has been gentrified for the past decade or so. I should read the Noisey article but I don't really care to. It is probably similar to the EW one I read.

Brooklyn Women doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way that Brooklyn Girls does for a light hearted song, V.



My fave Brooklyn girls song and it's like five years old.
