A Hollaback Girl is a cheerleader. Gwen is saying she isn't a "Hollaback Girl", meaning she's not a regular cheerleader. She's the captain. You can tell by the way she dresses in the video, and by what she's saying. She's probably talking about somebody who spreads rumors about her character that she's sick of. So she wants to settle this. She's also trying to cheerlead at the same time. So she and her band of cheerleaders go and fight the person spreading rumors, who thinks I'll be one-on-one. But he was mistaken. The "B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" part is her character saying that it's stupid and driving her bananas. That's my guess. And another thing; Gwen didn't make up the word. It was uncommon slang until she used it, but people did say it before she made the song.
"I ain't no Hollaback Girl."
Gwen dresses as a captain cheerleader in the video. She also has a bunch of people following her around in it. So she's probably not one of the wannabes; she's saying her character is the leader, not a follower.

Possibly the most annoying, pointless song ever recorded. Brings Gwen Stefani to an all new low. It actually kills 5 brain cells everytime you sing this sad excuse for a song.

The connotation of definition "2" seems most all-emcompassing, but I think the definer meant to write that this is what the antithesis of a "Hollaback Girl" is, meaning that one possessing such characteristics as to be called a "Hollaback Girl" is the opposite of what the author writes. This definition would be apposite for one who is *not* a "Hollaback Girl."
The term "Hollaback Girl" it seems, would best fit any female who refuses to take "s&*!" in any of its multifarious manifestations. And the use of the word "back" in the compound word "Hollaback," whether intentional or coincidental, also conjures a strong, literal image of one who won't take anything lying down.
Another thought: Something that also came to mind was a noncomformist female. Hollister jeans and their brand label on the back of a pair of jeans are the symbol of the white, good-looking, upper-middle class. Maybe this could be interpreted linguistically as a breaking down of the words "Hollister" and "Backside." Just a thought ...

This woman will "Hollaback" at this man, no matter how many times he "be tryin' to diss her and play 'er and all that sh*t.uh-uh! I ain't no Hollabak Bitch, so youse bets get the steppin, bra."
Gwen Stafani sings about Shit and Bananas in an all-girl Japanese School (with a school team mascot as a Shit Banana) full of cheerleaders when she's 35-years old? WTF?

An insulting excuse for a song by Gwen-should'a never got an ego an' left my band-Stefani. This attempt at being 'street' or 'thuggin' or 'gangsta' was an absolute revolt to humankind. Any 40 year old woman who simply cannot dance good, and should NEVER try to 'rap'..and who still needs to practising spelling the names of fruits.. should not be allowed in public, let alone famous.
Gwen: B-A-N0J
ConfusedPerson:That's not even a letter..
Gwen: Dont talk shhht, dont talk shhht
EasilyAmusedChild: Wow! Gwen Stefani is so NEAT
ConfusedPerson: Dear lord! Child, do not be easily amused by this wigger mental patient!

Another example of white people mis-using Black, urban slang. Originally used as a verb ("Holla back, girl."), it is now mis-used as a noun.
