Video clip
Music site Songfacts tells:
| The video, apparently, takes place in high school, with Stephanie playing the cheerleader (despite the fact that she was 35 years old when he left). In this context, “Hollaback Girl” is probably one of the supporting roles cheerleaders who screams out against the background of the performance. Gwen says she is one of the main cheerleaders, those who get people's attention. At the beginning of the video, Stephanie says: “Get close, close. Oh, super-kawaii, ”while taking a picture of [the girls] that she’s dancing. Kawaii is a Japanese word for cute. Stephanie is a big fan of alternative Japanese pop culture , especially the frenziedly dressed teenage girls from the neighborhood near Harajuku Station in Tokyo [1] . |
