# Reimagined Feminist Anthems Sizzy Rocket Reworks a Beastie Boys Song into a Feminist Anthem By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-05-08 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sizzy-rocket References: [jezebel](http://jezebel.com/beastie-boys-sexist-anthem-girls-gets-a-feminist-remake-1572673779) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRqW4PxipG4) Sizzy Rocket's feminist remake of the Beastie Boys' song 'Girls' was borne out of a lyrical blunder. While crooning the popular tune in the shower, Rocket noticed that she repeatedly sang "All they really want is girls," as opposed to the original lyric, "All we really want is girls." Inspired, she set out to create a [strong, empowering version](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women) of the formerly misogynist song. Rocket hopes that girls will take away a [positive message](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-science-is-everything) from the song, explaining, "There is a fine line between saying 'I want to be empowering' and 'I want to be sexy,' but I think it's important to realize that you can be both in any way that you choose." Rocket collaborated with Matt Squire, a talented producer who's worked with Panic! at the Disco, to create the [insanely catchy track](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyricsinspired-ooh-campaign). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Feminist Remakes:** Opportunity for artists and musicians to transform traditional songs with misogynistic themes into empowering anthems. - **Female Empowerment:** Growing demand for music and media that uplifts and inspires women, providing opportunities for artists, producers, and content creators. - **Lyrically Conscious:** Increasing focus on the meaning and impact of song lyrics, creating potential for the reimagining of problematic songs into more inclusive and empowering versions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Music:** Artists, musicians, and producers have the potential to create and capitalize on the market for feminist reworks and empowering female-centric anthems. - **Entertainment:** Opportunities for content creators and platforms to curate and promote music and media that supports female empowerment and inclusivity. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Brands can align their messaging with feminist values by incorporating empowering remakes and anthems into their campaigns, resonating with consumers who seek more meaningful and inclusive content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anti-Sexist Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bad-t-to-good-t.md) - [Reimagined Building-Block Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/she-built-that.md) - [Holiday Diss Tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler.md) - [Hip-Hop Group-Approved Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandmas-cookies.md) - [Refreshed Beauty Jingles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybe-its-maybelline.md) - [Feminine Bow-Adorned Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-x-beats-solo-4.md) - [Rapper-Inspired Easter Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-starr.md) - [Reimagined Pop-Culture Music Genres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-new-sound.md) - [Shampoo Female Empowerment Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifebuoy.md)
