Eventually, as with all internet trends, Friday was placed in the memecanon and Blacks star dimmed.
Ten years later, the now 23-year-old has taken control of her image and rewritten Friday history.
For its anniversary in February,she releaseda rabid hyperpop remixof her hit, produced by100 Gecss Dylan Brady.
Both hyperpop and 2011s Friday beg the question:Is this serious?
Is this whats popular now?The answer is, somehow, both yes and no.
She wakes up in a surreal world, with the digital clock striking 7 in the morning.
Papa Dont Preach
This is my favorite song in the world.
And Madonna, obviously, is one of the most iconic reinventors of herself, ever.
So many of her songs are from my childhood.
Theres songs that Ive listened to for what feels like my whole life.
(Open Your Heart its a banger.)
Even before the Friday remix was in the picture, I thought [Brady] embodies that really well.
Same with all the other artists involved.
I also just love her bravery over the years.
And Im so stoked to see more and more queer people sharing those experiences.

80s Romanticism
I adore the 80s.
Pose
I am terrible with TV.
Her younger self
I had to really do so much growing up.
Theres the standard amount of growing up that I guess everyone has to do.
One part of it is just following that, and Ill continue to follow it.
Hopefully I wont ever come to a day where I dont get that [instinct] anymore.
I also feel like I owed it to myself as a kid who had this dream.
