Today's video is discussing a strange song that is extremely stuck in one, specific time period. "Swagger Jagger" by Cher Lloyd is the epitome of early 2010's style, fashion, culture, sound, etc. We're looking at her rise to fame on The X Factor, the origin of the song itself, the reaction to it, and the impact it may have had on the music industry at large.

The third biggest song of the 2010s with a Jagger mention

Swagger Jagger is a classic example of a song where the verses are great and hype as hell, and then the chorus comes in proceeds to steal my soul

Can’t believe you made a video about Cher Lloyd without mentioning the iconic ‘DISGUSTANG’ video

I love the swag era. Pitbull, the black eyed peas, psy, 2NE1, and of course justin bieber. Ever since the pandemic it’s become some of my most listened to music. Early 10s k pop is like American swag pop on meth. It goes crazy.

I do miss that bombastic era where every other song was about being on "the floor" - wonder if the misery that set in after 2008 was the reason it all got replaced with mumbling and "authenticity" sometimes.

I remember watching Cher's season of X-Factor when it aired. So glad we're out of that era of swag-pop. I hope she's doing well now.

I love looking back at the early 2010s. Music just doesn't sound like that anymore, and it's great to analyse the songs that paved the way for what we have nowadays.

This was EVERYWHERE in the UK at the time. People hated it. People loved it. People were baffled by it. I know many people who claimed to hate it but still went and bought it. So it worked

Pop in the 00s and 10s definitely has that strange, campy, indescribable energy

i feel so nostalgic for this era. ive had swagger jagger in my spotify playlist since 2018 cause i unironically love the song. its cringe but we as a society need to be more accepting of cringe. its freeing.

The song has a sort of campness that I have only ever seen since in Kpop, particularly groups like ITZY and NMIXX. It would easily be classed as hyperpop today. Swagger Jagger will forever be a classic to me, I just love how so many things that feel like they shouldn't belong together (and probanly shouldn't belong together) are blended.

Why were we so obsessed with making fun of literal minors in the 2000’s and 2010’s, especially on the internet? Like why???? Honesty people who did that and still do that are the saddest people around in my perspective. 16 years old is a literal kid who is still learning and growing and just starting to try and figure themselves and all the things in life, give them a break. No body is always making the perfect thing that everyone is gonna like or not think it’s annoying especially children, minors and young people in general. She deserves much more love and respect than what she got when she was 16, she’s a human being for goodness sakes!

"We rejected her like we rejected Jesus" 😂 Aaaahhaaaaa this is hilarious. Call me a baby watching keys jangle but i still love that "turn my swag on" audition. I think she deserves a comeback

2NE1 and f(x) are great examples of kpop"s foray into swagger pop in the early 2010s, serving parallel to western artists like Cher Lloyd at the time.

When it comes to “real winners” not coming in first. I absolutely agree. It’s the same with American idol (for the most part)

This feels like a Todd In The Shadows video, and I'm very happy to have more Todd in my life. Looking at a time that seems as embarrasingly absurd and excessive as the early 2010's through a historical lens is fun and allows us to appreciate it all a bit more. A lot of it was made with a sense of humour and joy thats hard to disparriage. I'd rather a cheesy, fake, joyous pop song than a cheesy, fake, gloomy/melodramatic pop song any day of the week. Joy in any form serves a positive purpose - crocodile tears help no one.
