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
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
They only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun

When you're twenty-one
You're no fun

ive listened to this an unhealthy amount of times, theres something just so creepy,, haunting,, visceral about the voice that seems to really remain long in your head even after uve finished listening to it, ofc the interpretation and message of the song is equally terrifying.

What's the meaning?
@@genshinplayer8825 a bunch of comments say that it’s about older men wanting to date younger girls because they’re impressionable and not aging
@@genshinplayer8825
It's about the modeling industry
It's ridiculous that people are really arguing over what the women that made this song intended..it had a very obvious messege Men lurk over younger females and act as if when your 21(or over) your used up and no longer what they want, they want young innocent teens...it's sad disgusting and shameful.
@emeraldgames that's doesn't make sense
@emeraldgames Nah, your on the right track though.
Its about model agencies, at least thats what a Website said
Omfg yall it’s not that deep deep it’s about how modeling industries like the models younger and shit and they don’t really like ya when your older
@fluid that makes 0 sense and it’s wrong
This song sounds like its about older men who only want girls that are minors (most likely the reason the song is called seventeen is because that's one age down from 18). Older men like younger girls cause they aren't "aging" and because they want to take advantage of the minors because they are young and "impressionable". when she says "when you're 21 you're no fun" to me it means that when you're 21 you've matured and you don't fall for the tricks that older men play so now your "no fun". (this is only my opinion I don't know if this is what it actually means this is just what I get from it)
EDIT: So it seems as though some of you guys didn't read the last line of my comment. THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION ON THE SONG. But also thank you to the ones who have educated me in a respectful way about what the song actually meant. and yes I'm very aware that this also happens to men, I'm sorry if I invalidated any males who have gone through this. Much love to you all
@Tu'rajah Johnson same I think that too because when she says "they take a polaroid and let go say they'll let you know so come on". I hate that women have to go thru so freaking much, even in their own household it makes me so sad.
Exactly my 10 year old daughter was listening to this and right away this message jumped out. I want her to be aware of the things she listens to, she says she likes the rhythm and I agree it’s catchy but it’s got a hidden message
I thought it was about pedophiles, and not being interested in 21 year olds and older because you’re older now. But cool interpretation!
I thought the same thing especially when the lyrics aadi "when your 21. Your no fun"
I feel like plenty of horn ball predatory men would be happy w 21 also. It is more like 31 then they run the other direction.
Omg... With Lana in the background hits SO hard now
Agree
Whats she from?
@【Julianaa】 yes

The amount of people in this comment section saying this song makes them want to stay 17 is disturbing. Especially when the song is about being groomed by older people
Edit: people are allowed to have different interpretations of songs. You can stop saying "modeling industry" now, I get it.
Yeah
True.
so over this whole trend of making grooming seem like an aesthetic. people are fucking sick
yeah it didnt sit right with me
i feel like some people didn’t catch that part
God I’m obsessed with this. Gives me crystal castle. Crimewave vibes
Omg I was thinking the same thing!
YeSSSSS
My Name Is C.C
Meaning crying child.
What means my name but in a different words.
Oop
I thought it was about the modeling industry. They want younger 16/17 models so they don’t age fast, usually when ur like 25 ur considered old in the industry. Modeling agency takes polaroids to cast models
exactly what i was thinking
Grooming still happens in the modeling industry. If men look at a girl and go “to skinny” “to fat” “to ugly” it can cause several m3ntal dis0rders
They both are correct and how like when you grow old you suffer pains and nobody likes you and you have no friends
yeah that would make sense but what about the "you're no fun" lyric? to me that sounds more like older men who prey on girls that they can manipulate and do whatever they want for them
Same.
I wish there were more lyrics : (

don't listen to around the world then lmao
Listening to this song at my last minutes of 17 , before i turn 18 yrs
This song made me feel different
Literally same Cos I turn 18 tomorrow 😅
me i turn 18 in a few months
Is it normal don’t want to turn 18? 🥹
I turn 17 next month bru
I turn 17 tomorrow
Ngl I would’ve liked the song more if she said more. I like the message it’s just I don’t like repetitiveness
What is the message
@@nicosama5981 i took away that someone persuaded a 17 year old to do something? not sure
I thinl its mainly focused on spreading the message so
Same
it’s more about how men only want underaged girls and even when they get them they discard them like if they meant nothing to begin with
This reminds me of my aunt. She was the star of a certain club when she was 17. She said everyone had a pretty chart and she was always on the top but as she got older everyone started going for younger girls rather than her. People her age, people she graduated with. And it creeps me out
Wow, it's not fair since a lot of people see others differently when they get older.
Tbh I’ve never understood why, (and I’m saying this as a minor too) men seem to hate women once they’re not children. I mean the manipulation aspect is obvious for a predator but…an adult woman who has her life in order and is emotionally stable seems like the more “logically attractive” option. But they seem to always use the excuse of fertility (even though most women won’t be infertile until their 40s - and even so that’s such a weird and creepy way of judging a woman’s beauty?? It’s like if someone was like “nah srry I can’t date u ur sperm count is too low :/) to say why they’re that way??
Shits weird af man sorry your aunt went thru that. considering how teenagers are I just…what is so attractive about being so underdeveloped????
My favourite part was when she said ‘they only want you when you’re seventeen’
oh?
HAHAH-
I love the "when you're 21, you're no fun" part more
@@mn.atay3917 hehe many good parts to the song 😋
@@joystedge ofc lol
This gives me big Nowhere To Run vibes, it’s a great song
I love that song too
_This_ is the song I was wondering, “Huh, this song sounds similiar…”
yesssssssss
someone should do a mashup of them
frr if the lyrics were about the same topic they would be twins
This song makes me want to be 21 and protect all the minor girls
True 😎
Yeah 🥺
As a 22 year old woman, I've beat acouple creeps who have preyed on minors uwu, "it's not much but honest work"

I like the roblox death sound in the background.
LMAO
Omg me too
I think its supposed to be Ooooo
what are you doing here kageyama??!
PLSSS I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARD IT-
this song is talking abt society’s pedophilic tendencies. young women are preyed upon by older men, who take advantage of the naivety and inexperience of young tweens 14~17 for their own exploit. I’ve seen countless numbers of minors who have been manipulated by older males who use their bodies and gaslight them into thinking that they’re “cool” or “mature” for hanging out with older men when in reality, men who pick to date minors are ones who are socially inept and outcasts in society because they are unable to date women their age.
To me this definitely is about girls getting kidnapped. And it’s talking about the most common age girls go missing 17. Also in the netflix original The end of the fucking world, The murderer in the series took Polaroid pictures of all of his victims. Therefore in this song when they referred to the Polaroid pictures they are in actuality referring to the victims in the pictures.
Also about how when you grow up nobody likes you and you are in pain
Good guess, but it's wrong. It's about how older men like minors, and kids but once they turn into adults they don't want them anymore.
@@icky_d0llz418 you are wrong too, haha. The original meaning that the authors of this song thought of was about models and the modeling business. Honestly, I don't think there's any "wrong" meanings of the song, even when they are not the same as author intended. Every interpretation has the right to exist, I personally prefer the one about grooming and how older men prefer young, TOO young for them girls, and in general how teenage girls are sexualised. Everything comes from perspective, and that's the same for meanings of songs
@@oppooopoookjgffghjookjjj4531 Haha?
@@icky_d0llz418 a didn't mean anything rude to you if that's what you questioned
I feel like this song low key fits K-pop’s society

do you mean korean society. cus. korean pop music is a genre and not a culture or society

This song would be better if it had more lyrics
yeah i was sitting here waiting for the next lyric
yea its liking listening to a loop no changes in the lyrics but its still a good song
yeah.
At least the message gets across
same i NEEDED more. I was literally waiting for the song to start. lowkey disappointed but i still like the song, it's just i'll get bored easily cause it's repetitive
This seems like a song u can dance to at night with ur friends

honestly this song makes me think about the fact that when i was younger i was catcalled and harassed on the streets a lot more then i am now.
It seems like for a lot people this song is about being groomed and I’m so sorry to everyone that’s gone through it. This song definitely made my mind go back to a time I hate.✨

This song make me realize how fragile We are the girls that have daddy issues we look for love in the wrong place this guy was 35 I was 16 we meet in an app he is married with 2 kids and he always told me that he loves me and that he wants to leave his wife for me I don’t love him but I need him I stop texting him couple weeks ago

@@crybabie9412 yessssssssss
@@sese271 what is The Original music?
The only song that I could listen all my life without getting bored
Show this song to the whole ballet industry, EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON. the dancers, directors, managers, bosses, stage workers, pianist etc. The grooming, the unrealistic standards, the way they favor the minors and forget about the adults, the strict rules, diets, makeup, auditions, depression, anxiety, no social life...ALL OF IT. They only care when your a tiny when your old enough your no fun, CUZ YOU ARENT GULLIBLE WHEN YOUR OLDER TO GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE STANDARDS. Im so tired of going to ballet everyday and knowing once im 18 these people are done with me...even if i get a contract they want nothing to do with me or my career, they will use me until i breakdown and become useless broken plate, they will love my thin and fragile child body until i hit puberty and my curves start showing, they will love my dancing when my toes bleed to death but if my toes arent bleeding dear God AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH? But...when your 17 your amazing..no matter how many f-ups, falls, wardrobe malfunction your amazing. Think of it as a new chair, its the ugliest color but its new, its young and modern, see that beautiful colored chair thats 7 years old? Yeah its amazing and beautiful but it isnt new so therefore you dont want it anymore and decode to sell it off to a new owner. Think of the word chair replacing a ballerina and the word owner replacing ballet company contract, when your 17 your amazing cuz your new, when your 21 you suck because your old.
Um..are u alright..?
This is 100%true
100%
Lol I love this song but it just keeps repeating
its more about spreading the message of how minors are most likely to get ....yeah.. than adults
Somehow gives the vibes of having a healthy relationship with your parents when you were still a little kid and when you grew up and built more of your personality and mindset everything in the relationship just changes✋
this song is freaking good omg
This song makes me feel powerful
The song is clearly describing the epstein cases
The machine noise in the background is horrifying- it really adds to the aspect and message here
the memories i made with this back in 2020 are so vaguely.
This song sends me chill down my spine and this is so relatable even when I'm not 17 yet
This song makes my remember everything that happened that day…
they cared when I was younger, now they don't give a shit
Same
UwU im so alt UwU
Same…
i love this song sm because it leaves people the chance to interpret the song in their own view
does anyone know any other songs with this sort of vibe?? i've been trying to find some and it's so aaa
two that come to mind are 'crimewave' and 'nowhere to run'
Haunted (slowed) by Laura Les is kinda reminiscent of this vibe
Oblivion by grimes
Lotta true crime and Dumpster by Penelope Scott

it gives me a similar vibe but idk
I dont get sad when listening to music, but whenever I hear the intro of this song my heart just drops.
Beautiful Lizzy Grant in the lyric’s back ❤️
Me hearing this song like 15 years ago when I was 15...everyone else hearing it for the first time this week 😩😭😩😩😭
Oh wow that’s crazy. I’m 15 right now
If it had Britney spears as the background I would've legit started crying .
They sexualized her as a literal child and then when she grew up to own her sexuality .
She was frowned upon :(
What the conservatorship/media has done to britney is beyond violation of human rights and extremity of dehumanization. It's Gut-wrenching to know that she gave the world so much of her and people did nothing, but leeched off her innocence and stripped her human rights. It's so sad to see how much she was and is hurting and how her life isn't her own. She deserves to live a life of her own.
I'm incaple of elaborating how much love my heart holds for brit.
She is my biggest inspiration, she being the strongest badass bitchhhh is how I look forward to live off as a person. From the moment I came across her music, her ways of life, I instantly connected to the sentiments she pursuaded in her narrative.
Her creations has really been so therapeutic to me in my lowest and obvi in my happiest moments.
Sending prayers and love to Brit!!💞
...it's sad..

@@courtnie.carlisle08 Right like whole show is csem...☹
i honestly can't even imagine what you guys go through, someone attempted to groom me online i saw red flags but ignored them only keeping them in the back of my mind, i let him get away with it because he comforted me and listened. It kept getting worst by the second and i had to bring it up only to be gaslighted. I recognized the signs before it was to late. but i know there are girls and guys who couldn't see past that and i'm so sorry, i'm shaken up only after something so small and never realized the importance of how you felt not that i disregarded it in the beginning i just didn't know it was as horrible. I'm so sorry everyone.
this reminds me when my doesn’t want me when i am older only when i was 7 and not 12 i am 16 now
This reminds me when i was 6 or 7? I was being sexually harrassed by my moms trusted friend(he was my service for school), i didnt know what it was at first but when i turned 10? i realised i was being SA :))
How you are okay now. I am so sorry💔💘💘
wow..thats absolutely terrifying. im so sorry. nobody should have to go through that. i hope you are doing better now and i hope hes fired.
I was sexually abused/harassed online, turns out it was my PE coach and he’s locked up now.
There’s something about this song that is so amusing like it makes a huge impact on me somehow. I always like ALWAYS find a way to come back to this song and really like FEEL it.
THEY ONLY WANT YOU WHEN YOU’RE 17!! ( for some reason this song is stuck in my head)
why is the world so obsessed with young people and this "youth" of hope like expecting so much from them while at the same time they hate every newer generation that comes and traumatize them 😀 we are constantly failing the world and humanity itself and it sucks knowing many people and young kids wish they weren't ever born or question why they live under such circumstances.
A CLASS TRACK FROM lADYTRON:
i really liked the "they only want you when youre 17
when youre 21 youre no fun
they take a ppolaroid and let you go say they let you know so come on"
Man 20s is fun as hell, like one of the best parts of life. the anxiety and presion is Pretty big but still Fun! i Wonder when i gona find myself. Grown up fellas live your life i miss the 17s,16s,15s, etc. But the life Just go on and we still grooving
Love the positivity and all but the song is actually about grooming or the model industry so 😅 in this case, you shouldn't miss the 17,16,15 years I just thought to let you know.
This makes me sad because I’m 15 but my life is boring right now. All I do is work on school and my parents are strict so I don’t go anywhere. I feel like I’m missing out on what is supposed to be “the best time of your life”
@@lalaland9646 I'm so sorry to hear that! Once you move out it will probably get funnier! Also all that studying will pay back in the end :)!
@@lalaland9646 you still young, it was like that with me too when I was young. but that will change, but when it happens don't let the fun go to your head, we usually do this when we're young, don't stop studying, my parents being restricted was one of the reasons I "didn't fail" and finished the studies and everything else, also know that when you start living your life you need to know how to dose everything and not let the desire for new adventures and experiences ruin your youth, our parents end up controlling us for fear that we don't know how to deal with such things sometimes for other reasons but anyway, good luck you have a long way to go

This song sounds like a 17 year old girl getting all this attention from older men because she’s young and when she’s older the older men aren’t attracted to her because she’s a grown adult and she doesn’t fall for the same tricks again but it’s already too late
I haven't heard this song since MySpace oh my god
Guys check out Ladytron's other music! For example "Ghosts", i love that one
I’m not 17 years old but this song is the Bop ❤
This song reminds me of the movie Believe me: the abduction of Liza Mcvey which the movie was based on a true story about a seventeen year old girl getting kidnapped and raped by a adult man. No one believed her when she told accept this one cop. That is a brief summary but watch it if you want too.
i think the ppl saying they wna stay 17 lack the skill of interpretation 😃✋

As a 17 year old, it's strange how many songs make this out to be one of the most "interesting"(?) years of your life. Everything's still the same for me-
Life changes a lot in a few years though so when you’ll look back to now when you’re 20 or so it’ll be different! It just takes awhile to see it
