WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY????

Ok So I take back everything I said about the Dolly Rockers, despite the fact that their image was the work of some hard, reimagining skills on part of their handlers/record label( see:before). There's still some humour to their songs, there's some irony to their image. They're fun, they're hot, they've got a unique style, and their music is acutally pretty good, pop electronic, and they're all of legal age, yey!


Why the sudden change of heart?

Firstly, I thought I judged them too harshly at first, I loved their personalities, they seemed like a fun bunch of girls, I just wasn't down with the way they were marketed but that has all changed because I get it. I didn't at first but now I do! So now we're cool.

Secondly and most importantly, I was exposed to this nuclear waste of a song/video:



Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Another Guirella style video except the Dolly Rockers did it better.

I mean, they acutally filmed the video in Wal-Mart? In McDonalds? That's so cheap. That's so tragic. This is so white trash I'm embarssed for them. I'm embarassed because they think its good, they thing they look good, they think that 'OMG LYKE THIS VIDEO IS WAI KEWL'.

How old are these girls by the way? Can't be more than 16 and yet they're wearing bras and an inch of cloth parading as a skirt, as outside clothes, ON THE STREET.

Where are their parents? Where are the responsible adults?

...oh my bad, when it comes to child stardom, there are no responsible adults only perverted, delusional, leeches.

I'm just left wondering, where will these girls be in 5 years? What will they have gone through? What kinds of relationships will they have with their parents, their peers, their significant others. What's wrong with wanting to become an accountant, or a travel journalist, or an ambassador, why are we telling young girls that they should become actors, singers, and models? Are girls and women only here for our entertainment?

Oh their name? The Lolitas.


I think that sums up everything, really.

PS Chris Hansen would like you to have a seat over there please.

WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY???

This is a girl band from the UK called the Dolly Rockers (that name), and I'm not sure how I feel about them.

At first I was like: wtf?

Then I was like: yea, they're alright

But now I'm like: Nu Uh!

They seem like a lovely bunch of girls with a kick ass, hot topic accessorized by Claire's, style, but there's a funk of manufacture going on here, and I ain't down with that smell.

I'm not all about hating manufactured bands (HELLO Spice Girls!) BUT it seems that some record execs, took a look at these girls and said 'hey we could defo market this band to young girls who aren't down with Miley Cyrus or Girls Aloud. Young girls who think ~*know one understands them*~ because *~they're lives are so like complicated and stuff*~'

Amirite?

Please, don't sit there and tell me this doesn't smell manufactured. Like I said I'm not against bands being put together, I'm against advertising a band as some sort of alternative to the mainstream pop princesses, because the same amount of planning, investing, and marketing are going in to each type of act. Why not be upfront about it?

Can we take Canada's own Avril Lavigne for example?

Everyone called her the anti-Britney because she played guitar and sang rock music and wore converse. Every girl who was sick of Britney and every wannabe that came after her ate Avril up. What happened when it slowly became apparent that 'hey she didn't write her own songs' and 'hey she's friends with that highly contagious bleeding from every orifice disease'? Well Avril's career is a bit of a stalemate right now. She doesn't grow with her fan base, they grow out of her. She'll forever write songs for 13 year olds. How sad, even Hilary Duff has graduated to 16-20 year olds.

Back to the Dolly Rockers. I think they're all hot. I love their hair, its big and fabulous. I think they're sassy and fun. Love the way they dress but why the guirella style videos? Why the marketing of the 'alternative'? Can't their management/record company just be straight with us and say 'YEA THEY'RE OUR PUPPETS'. Never hurt Britney or Miley, why should the Dollys be any different?
