ding ding ding ding. 100%. i learned this in art class in the early 2000s. there are also now seemingly two major eras of it. 50s/60s retrofuturism and 80s/90s retrofuturism. the aesthetics are also remembered on the half decade in hindsight. 45-55,55-65, 65-75,75-85, 85-95, 95-05, 05-15, after the advent of social media this breaks down because novelty breaks down and everyone just copies whats trending.
One of my favourite song by SOAD, probably in my top 5, Serj's voice is absolutely phenomenal , the atmosphere in this song is really special . Great reaction as always Rachael.
My very intro to SOAD was their performing this on Conan O'Brien... I was like "WTFFFF I need more of whatever the heck this is", and I've loved them ever since. You should check that out! It's as beautiful as it is terrifying lol
I'd say this song is all about dreams, and the video does a great job of portraying that. And yeah, it's definitely got a big Tool feel, both in the sound and visuals, although once you realize dreams are the theme, it all makes a lot more sense.
It's a very underrated song from them that only in the past couple years has been getting reaction videos from. Serj's final acream is so phenomenal and the guitar solo is just great as it is. I'm not gonna flood you with any artists or bands but I like your reaction videos. \m/
The line about the V Chip is eerie. Serj Tankian was a software developer as a day job and the line about V Chips and the concept of "spiders" are about microchips... (IC chips look like spiders) Specifically the V Chip, which blocks TV content based on ratings categories. Basically the chips that set your TV to where your kids can only watch "approved" programming.
In my opinion, this is their best song. Very serious sounding and different song than the other songs they had out at the time and that other bands in their era had out as well. The video is gorgeous also
She actually did start to catch on to the plot during the ending.... This song is about microchips. And tech companies working with government agencies to control media and such. The V Chip is a program used in North America mostly that is essentially a chip in your TV set that controls what programming you see based on ratings (the whole E for Educational thing you see on the kids shows on the weekends). This song is about a little girl that doesn't have thoughts or feelings of her own because she's been given them already - think Rachel in Blade Runner.... Literally turning people into replicants
"All her dreams are MADE, winding through her hair" -- the thoughts and dreams running around her head aren't even hers. They're MADE for her. Creepy song, but very beautiful also
There's also retrofuturism. Not sure that's what she was going for but it's one of my favorite styles of 'futuristic'. Then again she did mention Fallout and that is definitely retrofuturism.
Spiders is best interpreted as a song denouncing government regulation at the personal level (through subliminal advertising, the v-chip, and other government controls). So, like ALL SoaD songs, it is political.
Can you pls react to matchbox 20-Back 2 good live version, title of concert is night in the life of matchbox 20.its one of the greatest live I've ever heard ❤❤
I dislike that you start your videos off with a pre-recorded segment from after your having already seen the video. It throws one for a loop when you click on a first time reaction video and immediately the video starts with you having already seen the video. You can just shoot an intro with you not having seen the video. And then you can discuss the song in depth at the end of your video, after we’ve seen you react to it.

'Retrofuturism' is the term you were looking for, "the aesthetic encompassing depictions of the future produced in an earlier era".
*Grunge, Indie & Alternative* right ? 🤔

I love how the 90's envisioned the future as bleak, and oppressive.
I think you are mamanding. It is cyberpunk; retrofuturism is more clean and aesthetic
@@kylotrinto1234 "cyberpunk" has become the second era of "retrofuturism"
One of my favourite song by SOAD, probably in my top 5, Serj's voice is absolutely phenomenal , the atmosphere in this song is really special .
Great reaction as always Rachael.
Exactly same as you. Probably my fav by them.
That absolute gutteral scream by Serj towards the end. Just wow
Yep. An argument could be made that THIS is their best song.
You may need a few run throughs of this song, haha SOAD stuff goes multi layers. This HAS to be on everyones playlist. especially in the car! haha
IN THE CAAAAAARRRRR

I love the guitar in this.

I used to fall asleep to this song as a young teen
This band is alien, I'm sure don't be scared by their originality.

Pretty beautiful song for being about governmental agencies deciding what your kids can see and think and feel
Such a great song, and reaction to it.
In my opinion, this is their best song. Very serious sounding and different song than the other songs they had out at the time and that other bands in their era had out as well. The video is gorgeous also
And you are wrong, sir or ma'am...Holy Mountains is their best song.
This is my favorite SOAD! The lyrics are pure poetry! I always seen this as a dream, but it also has hidden cues to a "Matrix style world".
The song is about computer chips taking over (they look like spiders look at the album art) its about he V chip
Ayyyy I suggest this awhile ago 🤣🤣
Oh, i wait so much for this. BRAZIL!!!!!!!
Yay!! one of my pers favs! This and 'Aerials!'
Dystopic is the word you are looking for
I think that you are doing an awesome job on your reactions to music videos
Possibly the style you're thinking of is retro-futurism, which is where you get stuff like Cassette Futurism, Atompunk, DieselPunk etc.
This needed to be part of The Matrix OST to make it even more perfect.
Thankyou
LOVE SOAD and you just got a sub from me! Keep up the reactions! Im digging them!
Some Gojira songs, please....
Cigaro Cigaro Cigaro Cigaro Cigaro
I love the guitar in this video
for sure this one somewhere in the top of SOAD song and songs at all
the word you were looking for is retrofuturism.
Love your hair though 🥰
React to Suggestions from System of a Down. That song will freak you out.
The subtitles were pretty spot on. The lyrics are strange, but thats because Serj writes metaphors for his metaphors.
She actually did start to catch on to the plot during the ending.... This song is about microchips. And tech companies working with government agencies to control media and such. The V Chip is a program used in North America mostly that is essentially a chip in your TV set that controls what programming you see based on ratings (the whole E for Educational thing you see on the kids shows on the weekends).

"All her dreams are MADE, winding through her hair" -- the thoughts and dreams running around her head aren't even hers. They're MADE for her. Creepy song, but very beautiful also
Stairways take place long ago. In a galaxy far away.
yes thank you more SOAD please
You’re a poet, and you didn’t know it!🤪🙃
Next soad holi mountain
The music video is a bit horror-dystopian in aesthetic. Really interesting song! SOAD FTW!
if you think this song is eerie or weird, just know that they performed this song on TV during Conan O'Brien show lmao
Keep up the good vide9s🎉
Industrial is what it is
Hail from Canada
Dystopian
I love you Raya ❤❤❤
Futuristic but with a different vibe? You mean steampunk? Atompunk? Or rather neo-noir?
There's also retrofuturism. Not sure that's what she was going for but it's one of my favorite styles of 'futuristic'. Then again she did mention Fallout and that is definitely retrofuturism.
Maybe My favorite song from SOAD
Try reaction to lost in Hollywood, thats underated song from SOAD
I love your reactions. I would really like to see you react to a Puscifer song. Maynard and Carina round sound good together in my opinion.
Steampunk I believe is the word you were looking for Rachael.
2:20 industrial?
The word you're looking for is "retrofuturism", by the way
estaria guay que los vidios estubieran subtitulado
Doh? Gotta recharge the V chip
2077 is hundreds of years in the future?
Long time no see u reaction a7x's song 🥺
At 2:03? SteamPunk is that?
Gives me a 12 Monkeys vibe
6:38
Plz do a Periphery song
Spiders is best interpreted as a song denouncing government regulation at the personal level (through subliminal advertising, the v-chip, and other government controls).
So, like ALL SoaD songs, it is political.
React to STMLT - twilight

Futuristic but not futuristic? Steam Punk?
I dislike that you start your videos off with a pre-recorded segment from after your having already seen the video.
It throws one for a loop when you click on a first time reaction video and immediately the video starts with you having already seen the video.
You can just shoot an intro with you not having seen the video.
And then you can discuss the song in depth at the end of your video, after we’ve seen you react to it.
Are you wiging out
Just found this channel. This woman reminds me of the manic pixie dream girl characters in romcoms 😂
