I took it as an indication that her father had died long before her mother had, when she was a small child, so she had little memory of him aside from things her mother had told her about her late father, but alternatively she could have been on worse terms with her father than with her mother when both passed around the same time.

@@bricabroccoli He starts by saying "It's been a decade since you've been gone". It's probably supposed to be a post for the anniversary for her mothers passing so it focuses on the her.
I think my favourite line is actually "I miss sitting with you in the front yard" -- because that is *not* generic, that is obviously a very specific memory about this person and her mother and how they used to hang out. Everything in the song is lightly making fun of this person for how basic their tastes are, but in a really simple evocative line you're reminded she's a particular person like anyone else, she has an inner life and experiences that were unique and meaningful to her in particular.

I love that Bo tricks viewers into ONLY having sympathy for this hypothetical person _after_ the middle part of the song. While she's posting harmlessly happy pictures, she's a target for ridicule, but after she's an orphan, the tone of the viewers change. Almost like an episode of America's Got Talent lol. She's only relatable and worthy of people's understanding after we realize she's had to go through something terrible. I think it's clever that he makes fun of how superficial 'white women on Instagram' are, but also subtly exposes his entire KZread audience for being pretentious and unsympathetic.

"The problem is you"
One of the first lines is "a couple holding hands" and then in some of the lyrics and pictures from the middle of the song are describing and showing her decorating a house. "A coffee table made out of driftwood", the video of him covered in paint while painting a wall, him holding various decorations that she would potentially be putting in her house. I think that this song also describes her relationship developing from just casual dating to them moving in together to eventually a proposal with "and a ring on her finger from the person that she loves" Also I just cried a little at the realisation that she turned 27 during this song meaning she was only 17 when her mom died.

Yeah that’s what I always thought. This song is brilliant. It starts with what a stereotypical white woman would post, throwing shade at that while being funny before moving to this serious and somber reveal of character. Then you have the sprinklings of her relationship growing to marriage. Just a beautiful piece all together. As someone who lost their mom and that age it means a lot. I never watched the video until more recently to see the balloons but that makes it even sadder having lost both parents.

The way the lyrics are set up gives me the feeling that the POV character isn’t her, but rather some random person that found her Insta and decided to scroll through it. They’re skimming through, seeing all those images and rolling their eyes at them until they get to the mom photo. That’s the post they decide to select and read the caption of. It’s only when they bothered to take a closer look that they get a perspective shift, and when they go back to scrolling with that new context they see it all differently and they understand a little better.

I agree. First time hearing I thought oh she is like most seeking attention for no reason than just that attention. I've come to feel empathy for her. I assume from the visuals she lost both of her parents at 17. Either that or grew up without her dad as he died earlier in life. At 17 just when she thought her life was starting then also losing her mom. Imagine an orphan at 17 being asked are you ok over and over thru that time trying to show she was. That she was just like all the other girls her age. I hope she married had kids and realized she was in heaven with her family. She didn't need to prove it anymore.

The thing that I like to keep in mind though, is that only maybe 2-3 of those things listed have even the slightest judgement applied to them by the song itself. Everything else listed being seen as puerile, trivial and worth being mocked is just our societies (almost all societies around the world) biases and tendency to default to mocking anything young women are into in that way. Bo and the song itself is largely non-judgemental regarding most of the things listed, the mockery comes from inside us.

I don’t know, I perceive it as seeking others approval by following the most generic trends you find on IG.

It’s quite literally the problem of social media today.

Yes! I also kind of morbidly love how he says “is this heaven” as he’s pointing at the 27 balloons, which is a famous age to die at. Anyways yes I love how he starts by just mocking the “white woman” and her Instagram, and the listener laughs about the superficiality of the fictitious subject, and then Bo completely humanizes her as someone who is real beyond her IG and has gone through pain and lost both of her parents when she was young. She feels like a real person, probably because there are many real people like that out there. It’s a really powerful moment in an otherwise comedic song, and I love how the aspect ratio changes from IG aspect ratio when he gets real about talking to her deceased mom. It’s like it’s saying that these people we see and roll our eyes at and might think are self-obsessed are also real people with pain and heartache too. I also hope she lives her best life!

That said, there is a person there, so the people who do nothing but spew hate about basic bitches on Instagram and actively attack the people who do it need to realize that the ones they are attacking are real people with real lives, real issues, and real pain. I personally have been guilty of this. I’ve criticized basic white girls on Instagram, and been fairly hostile at points because I saw the people AS the accounts. This song helped me realize that my actions may have seriously hurt some people. Bo showed me a different point of view with this song, and I hope to become a better person because of it.

My parents passed away when I was a teenager, and I think I get something extremely different out of this song than everyone else. The triumphant melody isn’t an accident or just a cool hook. This is a power anthem to me I heard this song for the first time hanging out with my adoptive family, and it took everything I had to hold back an ugly cry for a few hours. I put in on a few more times at home, cried the worst cry I have had in years, but then it started kinda changing meaning for me. When you have hard, uncommon pain, people can’t relate. But they can relate to your joy. I’m a guy, but everything I have is like this girl. I have a bunch of career achievements that I almost feel guilty bragging about because I don’t wanna be one of those hustle-grindset kinda guys, but maybe I should brag a little more. Focusing on making a very difficult career happen is what gave me meaning through my teens and 20’s. I’m not famous but I have a job I enjoy, a good stable life, and a wonderful husband. I have everything my parents wanted for me and worked so hard to give me. I don’t think Bo Burnham is gonna read his 10 million youtube comments but jfc dude. I’m a professional musician, and this is the most powerful song I have ever experienced.

That they've experienced pain, and hardships and are just doing what they can to get by. You're not always privvy to what is going on behind closed doors in another persons life.

The balloons @ 1:47 also give an indication that the white woman who operates the Instagram in question is not much older than 27. We can infer that her mom died when she was 17-ish, on the cusp of adulthood and the new challenges and triumphs that come with it. The second half of the song could be interpreted as an indictment of people (like me) who scoff and jeer at the stereotypical "white woman's Instagram" as being created by someone who is vapid and soulless. The content certainly gives the indication of those things but it's a leap to assume that the person behind the account is entirely captured by this representation. Social media allows us to expand the facade of how we present ourselves to others to include idealized moments and constructed situations, leading observers to assume that our entire life is charmed and easy. However, it's important to remember that this facade is a lie we tell to other people, not only for our own benefit, but for the comfort of others. How often do we not disclose our thoughts to avoid people getting "weirded out", feeling depressed, misinterpreting our words, or shading their view of us with their own meaning? This cliche of a "white woman's Instagram" might be a reflection of our own expectations for what a "white woman" should be. Attractive but not beautiful ("fake"/"plastic"). Well-read but not smart ("bossy"/"a bitch"). Aware but not too "woke" ("bleeding heart"/"SJW"). Happy but sad enough to be relatable ("a mess"/"falling a part"). Quirky but not esoteric ("weirdo"). It's less about avoiding the criticism of others and more about avoiding criticism from the internalized "other", the super ego. But Bo says all that in four minutes six seconds so he definitely wins.

This song starts out like a commonplace mockery of women depicting them as superficial, dumb, boring, self-important, etc. Then it takes a surprising turn in the middle where it gets revealed that the "white woman" we laughed about is actually a three-dimensional human being who experiences pain and struggles too, and we realize that her Instagram, however unoriginal it is, is the record of her trying to live her life to the fullest.

Every few months I'll watch this for a chuckle, and every single time I forget about the bridge and need to sob for a while after it hits like a train. It maps onto me just about perfectly - I lost my mom at 21 (and my stepdad at 13), she was such a huge part of my life it took years to start to comprehend how to live without, and now I have an apartment, a fun job, and an incredible relationship, none of which she ever got to see. I don't personally believe either of them is still out there anywhere, but I miss them constantly, and I hope they're proud if they can be.

THEN the topper is the perfectly in-key church bells when he says "three little words, a couple of doves, a ring on her finger from the person that she loves". this song is a masterclass of don't judge a book by its cover.

The fact how this song starts as a joke and then shows the depth behind someone that you don't see. Burnham does such a great job at making jokes but making you think and telling the truth that so many people refuse to believe. Honestly one of the greatest artist's of our time.
Me and my mom were going go visit my Grandma in hospice, and I was playing music over the radio cus it's a long drive. This song came up, and my mom was listening along, growing slightly annoyed at all the "generic" stuff Bo Burnham was making fun of. I didn't even think before the final verse kicked in, and before I knew it my mom was crying. So uh... congrats Bo, you wrote that part so well that someone very close to that situation emphasized so much she began to cry.

@@cartermc107 Humans love constructing narratives and telling stories. We've been doing it around fires with each other since the dawn of humanity. Just because someone's instagram is telling a story doesn't mean it's invaluable - it just may not be for your consumption. It's a social experience.
This song makes me cry everytime I listen to it without fail. It really hits close to home after losing my mom.
Bo, you're wonderful. I love how the square format pans out on where "the white woman" talks to her deceased parents, to reveal the real life depth under the basic photos. Such a quick and emotional insert.
The irony is how freaking good he’d be at running a white woman’s instagram

@@nickhopwood4233 I sort of see it that way too, but more of just an interesting juxtaposition of a very personal and very real life post on a platform that’s otherwise full of inane clichés and kitschy pictures. It’s maybe less of a trope and more of just something you will find on pretty much every social media platform - that juxtaposition.

@@nickhopwood4233 it definitely is. That’s the weirdest part of the whole concept of the industrial movement that instagram has become. Women sell this idea of their lives, occasionally pause to show a real moment of a real life, and then resume the image they’re working to maintain. I have friends who plan their life choices around the posts they’re going to make. Weddings are centered around Instagram aesthetics. Average people have 10k followers for what? They don’t know you. They never knew your mom. So of course you’re not going to open your heart to thousands of strangers. Not if you’re really hurting in that exact moment. Not honestly. Few things sting like being honest and thousands of people rejecting you for it by scrolling past. So you go back to goat cheese salad. You know?

this song reminds me a lot of my mom. she isn’t white but she does love taking pictures of literally anything (especially food lol) and often posts them on social media. she also lost her mom when she was still pretty young, in her case, she was 7 when she lost her mom, and she occasionally talks to me about how she wishes she still had a mom. while i’m not exactly saying she takes pictures and posts them on social media as a coping mechanism for the loss of her mom, i think it definitely eases the pain a little, especially considering that our family is all she has. she has friends and other relatives too but we’re definitely her priority so especially when i listen to 2:18, i can’t help but think of her and when she talks about how she misses her mom,,,,
Damn...Bo you should be F****** PROUD of what you've accomplished...not only with the special INSIDE but this in particular is one hell of an artistic accomplishment. It's amazing...you just ooze talent out every pore...

The images in the video are all so damn precise, but wow he *NAILED* 1:27… the coat with the fake fur fringe, the over-exposure already against a white background, the expression especially the eyes & how they seem to be colored *extra* bright… just perfect. I remember every girl either having or wanting a photo like that in the early to mid 2010s especially & at one point I was forced into position of photographer to take such photos for a precious friend who definitely had a White Woman’s Facebook, including the dedication to her mum- not as she died but as her mum inspired (i.e. *forced* her) her degree in gynecology…. :/ fun…

No other artist would put this much dedication behind every 5 second shot
I like that the song's lyrics are only literal descriptions of Instagram posts - the most narrative commentary is the chorus and the shots of the music video. it invites interpretation, but it also makes you conscious that the interpretation you give it says more about you than it does about the song.
