About
"We Can't Stop" is a 2013 R&B dance song performed by singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus. Upon its release in June 2013, the song and music video inspired a series of remixes, covers and parodies, some of which bear similarities to dubbed versions of the "I Knew You Were Trouble" music video by Taylor Swift.
Origin
The song “We Can’t Stop” was released as the lead single for Miley Cyrus’ fourth studio album on June 3rd, 2013. On the following day, the official Miley Cyrus Facebook[3] page announced that the singer’s upcoming music video for the song will feature a series of fan-made twerking videos. The status update also contained a link to a Facebook application[4] through which the fans could submit their videos with the hashtag #FanMade.[5]
On June 19th, the music video premiered on the MileyCyrusVEVO YouTube channel (shown below), which gained over 105.8 million views and 746,000 comments in the first six weeks.

On July 6th, YouTuber Brittani Louise Taylor uploaded a parody mocking several elements contained within the “We Can’t Stop” video (shown below, left). On July 7th, The Fine Bros released an episode of "Teens React" in which several teenagers share their first impressions of the music video (shown below, right). In the next month, the videos garnered upwards of 1.5 million and five million views respectively.

What the heck did I just watch?
Oh you got to be kidding me, more hashtags in songs?
We have done it, gentlemen. We have found the worst video on youtube.
I don't think you've been to the weird side yet.
I've seen worse, but only when I use Hell's wifi.
Ummm….Yay?
"We can't stop"? I sure as Hell can, and I'm getting the fuck out of here.
So Gangsta!

Another washed up teen idol trying to make herself relevant. What else is new?
We can't stop here. This is Bat Country.
Meth: not even once.
Ummm….Yay?
"The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
Sorry about that."
You know, maybe this time this message doesn't bother me so much.
What country are you from, if you don't mind me asking?
Ireland. I see this message a lot on Vevo channels.
Really? Because I'm from Ireland to (and have the right country listed) and I can view it perfectly fine.
I don't know what you mean about having the right country listed but I'm in Leixlip and this is what I see:
I meant it knows what country I'm in, sorry :| I don't know if you can change the country but still, I'm down in Cork and I never got that message on any vevo channel. Must be hard though, vevo's one of my main sources of music and I couldn't deal with not being able to see this shit.

How did Rihanna lose her tan ?
Kill myself want to this makes me… oh wait…
Disney! What have you created???
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
Well, Disney must've been planning for a updated version of Snow White…
That face is creepy as fuck.
No wonder Disney Channel's Network Decay is under "Total Abandonment".
Thankfully, Miley hasn't done anything for Disney in a while, and they've sort of redeemed themselves with Phineas and Ferb and Gravity Falls.
True, but they need more than these live action comedies they have like "Dog with a Blog" with "Fried Dynamite"'s Blake Micheal who is very annoying.
They made Wander Over Yander which is good in my opinion.

Wait.
Is this actually… a hit?
looks on Wikipedia
" The track has topped the charts in New Zealand and peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100."
…

I'm waiting, Todd in the Shadows.

Declaration: This video and this song is repulsive. I require a memory wipe.

The amount of GIFs you can get from this video are phenomenal.

In the song, she sings, "Remember only God can judge (you)".
Well, if you believe in God, then you know God WILL judge you.
Also, to be technically accurate, anyone CAN judge you. In fact people do it all the time. Hell, people are going to judge me for this comment. The difference here is that you (Miley) are a celebrity. The judgement of your fans is what makes your career. Right now, they are judging you. Harshly.
…Sick burn.
Congratulations
You're smarter than a pop star
…Sick burn.
Well, Disney must've been planning for a updated version of Snow White…
55 seconds of the song, and I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
I really don't see anything with the song, the video's horrible though

Cyrus can do what she likes. When someone talks about a track called "Can't Stop" there ill only ever be ONE piece which springs to mind.
"She has no ass to twerk"
She ain't got no booty.
lolno
She's just vibrating her buttcheeks! That's it!
I watched it…
No words…can explain how horrifiying this…thing is.
She ain't got no booty.
Congratulations
You're smarter than a pop star
[insert comment about how all mainstream music sucks]
lolno
I like how the trending bar says "We Can't Stop Bronies".
Well, it won't stop me from trying… [Cracks Knuckles]
You get the best of both worlds…

Me after watching the music video:
Seriously? This was the best she could come up with? This is like a miscarriage of a Lady Gaga music video made while someone was on ten pounds of MDMA, and the lyrics are all about supporting the stupid and hedonistic "do drugs and fuck complete strangers without considering the consequences, because YOLO" ideology that seems to be all the rage these days.
God, I hate the sorry state of the music industry, especially when diarrhea like this gets made.
Ew.
The thing I don't get is how the video has fairly even likes/dislikes. I was expecting it to look like the like/dislike bar on "Friday".
Or "Stupid Hoe"

Remember when Miley Cyrus was on a shitty sitcom and made shitty pop songs for teenage girls?
Yeah, teen celebrity gone dirty syndrome has kicked in.
"FUK U SHES JUST TRYING 2 FIND HUERSELF" – every fan of hers.
There's self-discovery and then there's being a skank.
