Rebecca Black's Transformation Since 'Friday'

Since releasing the cringe mega-hit “Friday” in 2011, Rebecca Black has evolved into a legitimate pop star and queer icon with a legion of fans and followers, even performing her own DJ set at Coachella this year. Here’s how it happened.

Little did I know that this garbage song would make me feel nostalgic someday, crazy how life do that.

I'm still impressed a thirteen year old could take that much shit and roll with it. I would have never sung again in her situation!

Here’s what happened, her parents remained loaded.

Damn, I thought she was like 17 in friday.

[Cred]

My algebra teacher claimed to have known Rebecca at one point.

So I'm 2nd hand famous

Yes, the Friday song is cringe, but her new appearance is so gritty and her aesthetic seems “evil”. Reminds me of how old media tends to return in a twisted form in a bunch of memes.

[asianoy]

She's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment.

[Agostoic]

So she's still a meme, cool story.

[Danlikescheesteaks]

Give it 5 years she’ll end up like Demi Lovato

[choo_choo_]

Not gonna lie, she got pretty hot too.

[Grandma_Jizzzzzzzard]

She's kinda like the Monica Lewinsky of YouTube.

When I saw her on "Is It Cake?" I was like she's still around?

[marleentuuuh]

i saw her live a few weeks ago and she was amazing

[EduardoM]

Everyone go stream her new EP Rebecca Black was here

[VincentFischer]

Still listen to the death metal version of this crap to this day

[MostriginalUsername]

She was in Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night' video as well

[blurglide]

So...what seat did she take? We need to know!

[rhettorical]

Been seeing a big trend recently towards branding "Queer" as "the q-word" and socially unacceptable so we'll see how well this ages.

[alias-alias-alias]

Friday is hardly cringe, you just don't have taste

[simenon]

For a second there I thought you were making fun of her. I keep forgetting that the gays think people don't use queer as an insult.
