But "My Jeans" acts as if wearing jeans was a unique fashion statement and not the generic piece of clothing it is. Or like there's something special about the way she wears them and that everyone else had copied her. Or like she was the first to ever wear jeans. (yeah I know, not just any jeans but her kind, as if jeans don't all look pretty much alike).
but her cluelessness is pretty much the point, isn't it? because 99% of "My Jeans"s humor is unintentional, it's easy to forget that it's a goofy and satirical song by design. Jenna herself isn't the butt of the joke, of course, but she's playing the part of a vain girl who's blissfully unaware of her own pettiness (cf. Ashley Tisdale's character in High School Musical) and having fun with the role.
by comparison, nothing about "Friday" (the song, not the video) is intentionally funny except for the part where the dude gets stuck behind a school bus and wants to scream.
neither of these are bad songs and diafiud.

gotta say, the "Ashley Tisdale’s wearing my jeans/ Keke Palmer’s wearing my jeans" bit confused me at first. I thought she was excited and flattered that all those fake celebrities were dressing like her, but nope, even Disney princesses are filthy swag-jackers in her eyes.

I usually catch pop-culture references, but am either too old or too young (parents) to catch "High School Musical".
That's what I found so hilarious/sad/pathetic/bizarre about "Jeans" - that anyone would get uptight because she saw someone wearing the same jeans she is wearing. Like the factory custom-designed one pair just for her or something.
I don't think I've ever given a shred of thought to whether anyone else was wearing the same kind of jeans as me. Not that i'd notice if they did... the fashion-obsessed live in their own little world.

It's not the world's worst song, and it's not even the world's worst singer, but it is sincere enough for some people, which makes it a grotesque waste of everyone else's time. She's like that girl from church who probably has sometalent and everyone has to pretend to like her. And who needs that.

I like that the last sentence of the last post here is not a question. Like, the girl needs that.
