dancinbutterfly:cinemapix:BRITNEY SPEARS2000, “Oops!… I Did It Again”so…as a tween - this moment was so fucking iconic. i didn’t really understand how deeply it impacted me as 12-13-14-15 year old girl to see her do this? But holy fucking shit guys, it was important.Boy does something epic for you, and you go “oh, wow, thanks” and then WALK THE FUCK AWAY. BECAUSE YOU DON’T OWE HIM SHIT. YOU DIDN’T ASK HIM TO DO THAT. YOU DIDN’T GIVE ANY INDICATION THAT WAS WHAT YOU WERE INTERESTED IN. HE JUST DID IT. And so you are NOT OBLIGATED to respond in kind. BUT you get to KEEP WHAT WAS GIVEN to you. BECAUSE THATS HOW *GIFTS* WORK. Britney was our fucking queen. She was our goddess. She was the model on which my generation based themselves whether we knew it or not. And in this video she looked obligation in the face and went “LOL NO.”And if I had to guess when mainstream media truly started hating her? It was RIGHT HERE. But she did a generation of millennial women a fucking solid by iconizing this fucking response to a man committing a grand gesture. #Blessed I’m not even fucking kidding -- source link
