I delve into the history and reason behind enjoying preferring a large backside, from the Paleolithic to the Renaissance and Victorian era, to the curvy video vixen physique that stood in contrast to the early 2000’s continuation of the 90’s thin ideal that eventually mutated into the defining aesthetic of the 2010’s digital age. What led us here… besides Kim Kardashian, the rise of Hip Hop? Let’s explore.

Kim kardashian is outside your house in her chola look. Says she wants a fade

You are literally a pop culture anthropologist, the way you are able to connect threads and cascading trends is just truly remarkable. Every video of yours is a genuine treat for the mind. Pop culture is incredibly rich and you really take the time to lead a viewer through the mire.

Your poetic way of speaking is SUCH a fresh breath of air in this era where every other video I come across is so obviously written by AI. I envy your vocabulary!

your comment about the BBL body just being different body types fragmented and jumbled together...the ultimate symbol of postmodern misogyny in the internet era

Describing white people listening to gangster rap as an audio safari is by far the most accurate way of putting it💀

I don't believe this is what "let them eat cake" was referring to in such trying times

No no no. It’s giving Ms. Frizzle, not substitute teacher

Cheekflation is frying me 😂

As many BBL videos as I've seen already, this one still feels just as fresh on the topic. Especially with the historical to modern deep-dive take on it

"pick up that pre-paid Cricket phone and call now" They know their target audience well.

I like that this literally WAS a video that covered the rise of the trend that covered the whole scope of factors that contributed to it, not just a summary of pop culture events. Thank you, very informative video!

!!! I actually read somewhere that Sir Mixalot actually wanted to put thicker women in his music video, but was prohibited from doing so

Ah the Venus of Willendorf! I learned in my art history class years ago that two female anthropologists proposed the idea that she and other statues like her are self-portraits, because the exaggerated proportions correlate to a first person POV of looking down at one's own body.
