 A music video for " This Is What Rock n ' Roll Looks Like " , shot and directed by Sanaa Hamri , was released on March 27 , 2011 . The music video pays homage to Porcelain Black 's high school experiences , where she was constantly teased by " snobby rich kids " , but never gave in to the pressure of her peers around her . The video serves as a form of revenge for Porcelain Black against high school tormentors . " This Is What Rock n ' Roll Looks Like " garnered mixed reviews from critics , most of whom were shocked by Porcelain Black 's image and sounds but favored her apparent perception of herself as the " offspring " of fellow musicians Britney Spears and Marilyn Manson and their individual styles . Porcelain Black performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman , marking her debut televised appearance .
