Not a Cookie Cutter Group: Wa$$up

I wasn’t able to get into girl group but there are four songs/music videos by girl groups that I actually like.
1.     Like a Boy by Girls Generation
2.     The Baddest Female by CL
3.     Gi-Yeuk by GI
4.     Wassup by Wa$$up
This little rant is about Wa$$up’s “Wassup” music video. I know a lot of people are saying that they are twerking but in my opinion I don’t consider this twerking. You want twerking look up Miley Cyrus’ We Can’t Stop. You can’t even compare what Wa$$up was doing to what Miley was doing. Yes Wa$$up was shaking their butts but I don’t classify it as twerking. They were just dancing.
I also saw a few comments where people were complaining that they made their younger members “twerk”. Their youngest members are seventeen and I’m pretty sure if you walked into any public middle school you would find the students twerking. The younger members knew what they were doing. I’m pretty sure the company didn’t brainwash them and force them.
I liked the fact they tried to be different then other female girl groups because to me most girl groups have the same look. They pretty much match in the whole music video. Nothing is out of place. They all dance in sync together and they all have the same look about them. There a few groups like 2NE1 that are different but for the most part girl groups come from the same cookie cutter.
Would I buy their CD? Probably not but if someone else offered to buy me the CD then I would take it. I don’t think they were very successful in their debuted but there is always a second time to change public opinion. I would have to look at other music videos to help decide on whether or not I would continue to follow them. But their song is catchy and their music video isn’t that bad but it could be better.
