Lyrics:
They only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun
They take a polaroid and let you go
Say they'll let you know
So come on
We only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun

this isnt just a critique abt the fashion industry. its ALSO abt society's beauty standards and how men feel abt women aging

The women beauty standards are literally just traits of children. Men are seen attractive once they get facial hair, deeper voices, taller and stronger, ect. Yet a women is cute when she has a high voice, skinny, clear skin, no body hair, ect.
And honestly I'm sick of it.

It's not just about the fashion industry, it's about predatory behavior

This song reminds me of predators. how they want to prey on you because youâre young but as you get older your no fun because you know what they're doing.

I see people arguing about whether it's predatory behavior or the fashion industry and I say: why can't it be both?

'Seventeen' is about modeling agencies.
"They only want you when you're 17, when you're 21 you're no fun."
This is exactly how modeling agencies work. When you're 17 you're young enough to not have fully developed female curves yet, perfect for that skinny catwalk look, and old enough to legally work without all the parental hassle. When you're 21 you're considered an adult, have more female curves, plus harder to work with because of an adult mindset, as in knowing this is not a career you want to pursue, busy with university and (jealous) boyfriends.
"They take a polaroid and let you go, say they'll let you know, so come on."
17 year olds go knocking on doors at modeling agencies, full of hope, thinking they're gonna be the next big thing. In reality you're just girl #186 that day. So they'll just take a quick Polaroid photo of you, write down your info on the back and they literally say "We'll let you know.." Just like any job interview, so yeah, come on..
All the young girls dancing in the observation room are resembling the hundreds of applications the agencies get on a daily basis, the staff walks around, keep making the application pile (all the Polaroids from the past few days) smaller and smaller till there is just one left, the best girl of that pile, who they might hire.

Im glad this song is getting more attention

people who are arguing about the message behind the song are failing to realize that the modeling industry and societal beauty standards go hand in hand. it relates to p*dophilia bc standards for women are that they are hairless, appear young, etc. ALSO there will be different interpretations of art bc everyone perceives things differently:)

I think they're trying to say that they only want you when you're seventeen and that when you're twenty-one, you're no fun. Reading between the lines, that's the impression I'm getting.

They only want you when you're 2017, when you're 2021 your no fun!

one of the shortest lyrics and yet there artists nowadays who cannot put more meaning in their 6-album-long discographies

The song is a critique of the fashion industry, and their standards when recruiting models. It's unbelievable that so few people figured that out.

This song has such a darker undertone into 2020...

Writing this at 17. In a month and a half, I'll be 18, graduated, and going off to college. I haven't had a boyfriend, but I have gone to one singular party that I was invited to, but it was kind of mid as I went by myself. I went to homecoming, also alone, and I kind of intend on going to prom. I have about two true friends, and a couple of acquaintances, which will all change after school is over. Losing friends is something I'm willing to accept, as I know that I need to branch out and find people that are really for me. I have never been assaulted and hope to remain that way. I'm about 8th in my class when it comes to grades and I will be going to a nice university. I'm scared for the future. My fitness isn't ideal right now, but I'm at a "healthy" BMI.
To the me who's reading this at 21, let me tell you this. As long as you're doing your best, that's all that matters. How you do anything is how you do everything, but it's ok to let yourself have a break once in a while. Eat good food, don't disrespect your body, listen to BTS, find good people you can trust, read books, study hard, talk to people, go to therapy, exercise once in a while, write poetry, write books, keep pursuing your passions, don't freak out about aging, and PLEASE manage a budget. You have tons of life left to live, even if it's when you're old. My grandpa is currently in intensive care, and I worry for his life. Whether he is still alive when you read this, I'm not sure, but please don't hang onto loss. Your loved ones would want you to live your best life while keeping them in your memories. Please love yourself <3
