Confession here: I don't listen to a lot of pop music. I know about this song, because some classmates that the time were in love with it and very much did use it to create and "us versus them" mentality I found despicable. I listen to even less R&B, so if they intention was simply to critique the songs you mention, a) I really have no context for that, and b) that certainly wasn't how it was interpreted amongst my peer group of young (white) women. By critiquing R&B culture and hip hop/urban groups, however, Pink is assuming she has the right to do so, which given her position of privilege I really don't think she has. But that's a whooollle different discussion.

This was the start of what would become Pink's main (and problematic, in directly antagonistic songs like "Stupid Girls") M.O., as a performer who held herself apart from other female pop performers.

This is what I cannot stand about Pink, put very succinctly. Pink has made a career out of "I am not like those other girls, who are dumb and shallow". She's the spokeswoman for the harmful, misogynistic "us versus them" mentality.
