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.

I took it a different way. The heartfelt message to her mum is the first part of the Instagram feed that's genuine - hence the aspect ratio widening. She's allowing herself to be vulnerable. But then as soon as the character starts listing off her achievements again the aspect ratio closes in, it's no longer genuine. But maybe this just says more about me and my relationship with social media 🤷🏻♂️

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.

But there is also a feeling of dread after that where you wonder if this is genuine or just the second level of surface level you found. Kinda like how American idol squeezes artificial sympathy from you to keep you engaged. This of course is not an issue with the woman but rather shows how superficial the viewer is as we superficially stereotype her with negative thoughts based on info that shouldn't really affect how we think about her. And then when we are presented that sad fact we immediately sympathize with her despite not knowing in such a fake way. I think the song is to make people assess how much they should judge someone based of their persona which is interesting for the special as it is called inside and is primarily about understanding what Bo goes though in his mind.

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.

That’s the whole point. The song is a commentary on how social media distracts us from what’s important. An Instagram page is filled with silly, meaningless pictures but sprinkled in between is the occasional heartfelt post that is actually a piece of reality. Everything else is fake, but you get a small taste of the real world and the real person in the photos. But the entire experience is heavily altered to make everything see better. It’s all fake. Hence “is this heaven? Or is it a white womens instagram?” Everything has been altered to make it seem like heaven.

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.

The thing I love the most about this (aside from the insanely talented photography) is the aspect ratio change at 2:30 - 2:43. It goes from the Instagram phone screen when the messaging is solely performative for the world, then suddenly widens as the woman opens up about something that is truly honest and painful, before narrowing back in as the message becomes more for the public gaze. It really shows how unhealthy our relationship with social media can be in expressing ourselves.

One thing that really stuck with me when watching this as part of ‘Inside’ is that before this skit he was talking about what comedy is and he had a whiteboard where it was written that making fun of someone in a negative way wasn’t comedy. After this skit, there is a shot from afar where he is watching this video, sitting in the dark, and in the foreground the whiteboard is once again present with the message. I interpreted this as him disliking what comedy has become, yet inevitably doing it because it is what he will benefit from. It really reminded me of ‘Art is Dead’, and how he feels trapped in this corporate version of comedy yet has to continue or else he will be worthless. Very powerful message

Obviously a lot of this special is about our relationship with technology in the modern world. He takes a balanced approach though, in my opinion, as while the majority of this song is tongue-in-cheek, the poignancy of posting about missing one's dead mom captures that small bit of connection we have online that is genuine. It's really interesting how he zooms in and out during that section of the song, in a way showing a broader and more complete view of the self before zooming back in and going back to singing about trite posts.

@@margheritamiceli8940 Evidence for the interpretation? Because the white woman says the mother's been "gone" a decade and says she's "still figuring out how to keep living without [her]." And she specifically says "it's been a decade since *you've* been gone," which means the separation wasn't because the white woman grew up and left home, because it was the mother who went. And since the language discussing the mother is loving, the lyrics don't support the idea that her mother's alive and they just don't talk. Which, for me, given how people discuss death and loss in our day, means the most immediate interpretation is that her mother's dead, and subsequently implies the father is too. What lyrics do you see as suggesting that the parents aren't dead?

Have you been living with your parents your whole life? Perhaps you cannot yet understand this. The screen widens to make you think she's finally talking about something real, then starts to close in again when you realize white girl just being white girl again. Overdramatic for the sake of attention. Your "proof" is merely interpretation and not at all proof.

@@vickytsak2285 I think the point of the video is that much of a "White woman's Instagram" is superficial. The part where he talks about his dead mom and the aspect ratio breaks away from the Instagram ratio supports this. The video isn't hateful, but definitely a criticism, not of the women or people on Instagram, but of Instagram itself.
@jackedwards78073 жыл бұрын
Most of the song is (kinda accurately) describing the stereotype of a basic white girl and the sometimes superficial/naive/pointless things they post, and that part reminds us that basic white girls are just.. people too. Maybe alongside posting superficial stuff on Internet they're also dealing with trauma. Maybe more than me or you have ever dealt with, and maybe they're doing a better job it at dealing with it. "Don;t judge a book by its cover" and all that jazz.

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.
