Reception

Since September 2019, the song has been used in over 400,000 videos on TikTok, and has gained over 80 million streams on Spotify alone. [3] Miley Cyrus gained over 2.3 million likes when she lip-synced the song on a TikTok video with Cody Simpson.

Cat Zhang from Pitchfork described the song as a "venemous [ sic ] rap song animated by its snide dismissal of men, ghoulish theatrics, and Pornhub shoutouts." [4] Robin Murray from Clash said "[the song is] a sign of her personal and creative autonomy, with Ashnikko placing herself front and centre in a striking but de-sexualised way." [9]

Ashnikko responded to the song's performance online when she took to Instagram to write, "Since 'Stupid' is having a weird little moment on tik tok I think that it's only fair that I force u all to help me actualise my lifelong dream of going viral". [10] When asked in an interview with Billboard about how the song got the reaction that it did, Ashnikko said "It's quite a divisive song, isn't it? The lyrics are straight-to-the-point and blunt and honest." [11]
