Gangham Style was literally meant to be a joke TBF
I disagree. Imagine Dragons tanked because their production went to shit after their first project. Their first album was very safe but it had promise. The albums that followed were so overblown and created to solely be played in stadiums. Safe pop rock songs combined with empty lyrics doesn’t = happy music.
Then only 5 months later another Papa surrogate
Imagine Dragons is part time manager of a CVS, on weekdays, minions t-shirt wearing , disc golf player on the weekends - core.
Dude two of my favorite channels, Advchina and punk rock mba 😭
Wait wait wait i’d never knew you like this channel man
This is the thing that makes punk rock stereotyping okay. It brings us all together in a bond therein which we reminisce of people who have wronged us and feel the same emotions as a collective. Stereotype and gatekeep til we die!
"Gangnam Style" was always intended to be a silly song. That's why it's entertaining. Psy has always been in on the joke and he laughed all the way to the bank.
He’s Asian Ricky Martin, basically. But some people took Ricky Martin seriously too. I never understood that at all.
Psy is a walking, talking shitpost and even I hate kpop I'll always respect him for that 😂
@In His Steps yeah, the same with what dies the fox say. gosh this dumbass Finn guy just talk bullsh*t
The man loves Gucci Gang and hates Power Metal, Finn Mckenty truly is a human being too complex to understand
Talks about supporting all the artists who're making it big in modern platform, and then becomes a boomer for a band like Maneskin who're literally bigger then 90% of the bands that he talks about 😐?😐?😐?😐?😐?😐
Edit: I'm not much into their music either, but...that band literally fills up every category that he talks about
idk man, i just listened to pump rock and it is the greatest song out there
@@an_38kitkashyap talking about supporting smaller bands means you cannot support any bands that are anywhere near the mainstream??
@@w1lDstYLe reas what i said again
@@an_38kitkashyap why? You changed what you said and then tacked on an extra line that didnt make much sense either. You said he talks about supporting smaller bands on big platforms but then he becomes a boomer for Maneskin? That's implying that if he supports smaller bands then he shouldn't be supporting mainstream bands.
Damn, didn't realize how Rebecca Black was bullied THAT severely.
The internet can be mean sometimes. It's no place for a kid, honestly.
People are assholes no matter where you go. It is that tribal "us vs them" mentality
Yea, the sheer amount of vitriol towards her was real, it's one of the more shameful points in the life of the internet, basically pretty much the only people that didn't shit on her back then were people that didn't have the internet.
Even the "Pokémon Go" kid didn't get a fraction of what she did, and he still got a lot.
For some reason the internet loves bullying teen and tween girls for pretty much no reason. They seem to be one of the most hated groups of people on the internet, and it's fucking weird.
@@ville666sora Not just girls. Star Wars kid got bullied before youtube even existed.
It was the same with boxxy the "queen of 4chan" where it was to the point where they also doxxed her. The only difference is half the people simped for her
“Thrift Shop” was definitely overplayed… but, Macklemore is very self aware and I believe he acts corny on purpose, like it’s part of his image. It’s pop/whole-foods rap but going viral and selling millions while being independent and also dealing with addiction is truly commendable.
I love Macklemore and I learned about him through 'Thrift Shop' but got into more of his stuff and my other favorites by him are 'Otherside', 'Starting Over' and 'Doctor'. He speaks the truth about addiction! I know because I lived it for most of my life! Clean and sober now and thriving! Macklemore was a part of my recovery journey and so was Eminem when he cleaned up!
It was a great wedding song.
It for everybody dancing.
Macklemore is great. He raps about important stuff, like addiction, life struggles and depression. He just has a few songs where he acts like a clown but that’s just to pay the bills from the way I see it
And he and Ryan Lewis are actually pretty damn talented at songwriting/lyricism, etc.
Lou Reed's widow tells a great story about how kind Metallica were to her husband in his later years and knew it wasn't gonna be well liked by their fans but wanted to do something nice for Lou and basically played the role of his backing band to make Lou happy.
If that’s the case, I back it!
Agreed. Dunking on Metallica’s Lulu collaboration is akin to still making videos criticizing the snare sound on St Anger. It’s not original or edgy to do so anymore since everyone with a social media platform has already said it.
honestly, if Lars wasn't spamming symbol through the entire track, it might have been alright
@@mattduffyw99 track? Wasn’t it a whole album?
@@off6848 I specifically meant this Lou Reed song. But yeah, St Anger is meme-tier drum production throughout. Oof.
The emotions I got from this video were insane. I was in high school when all these songs came out. Hearing them all again was definitely a time capsule. Then I felt very embarrassed cuz I had a pop goes punk"screamo" cover of all these songs on my iPod nano that I used to listen to on the school bus.
As someone who really interested in Slipknot, Underoath, and other gateway metal bands, those pop goes punk albums was my first exposure to the warp tour scene but wouldn't get into it until recently at the age of 23 lol it sucks I wasn't into PTV and MCR when they were cool
Same. I was in high school 2011-2015
I actually miss the days 10+ years ago when pop songs were almost all dumb, cheesy club bangers that got you feeling like life was cool. I was about half the age I needed to be to actually go to one of those clubs, but I felt the vibes. The Black-Eyed Peas, LMFAO, Pitbull, Flo Rida, and others were making pop radio feel like a party all day and all night. I had no idea how much I’d miss the days when pop music was solely fun instead of mellow and pretentious.
Yeah music definitely won’t get any more dumb than the 2010’s were lol. I kind of find it a relief that music has been a lot more serious and professional in the past two years. Not a whole lot of stupid songs becoming ridiculously popular
@@Somepepper If said pop music is smart and also catchy, I prefer it to dumb club bangers. However, I feel like as the 2010s wore on, a lot of pseudo-indie trash and melodramatic ballads with boring production overwhelmed the charts.
Bro talking about 2010s were the corniest music about 2 minutes after saying Lil Pump is legitimately good, lol, that's amazing.
Lil Pump is good tho, he’s right.
@@HotStrange lol, nah
Late 90’s/Early 2000’s was def peak human existence, and anyone who didn’t experience it will never know what they missed out.
And one of the driving forces of its downfall is, of course, social media (and yes, that fact is still true even though I fully acknowledge that I’m stating it on a social media platform).
Facts!
Everything went downhill after 2007.
People say the same about the 80s 70s 60s etc. it just all depends when you grew up. Believe it or not there’s kids right now living their “greatest years” and probably won’t even realize it till 20 years on! I was born in 2000 and the 2010’s were legendary for me but I will admit I did (and still do) listen to a lot of 90s metal
@FOMO_Freddy
*PREACH IT, BROTHER!!!!* *IT WILL NEVER GET BETTER, THAN THE WAY THINGS WERE IN THE MID-LATE 90’s / EARLY 2000’s !!!!!* *Precisely 1994-2003.* *2004, sh-t started going SOUTH OF SIDEWAYS…* *I DESPISE THE MOTHERF--ING MID-LATE 2000’s, with a PASSION !!!!* *I DON’T EVER WANT TO BE FORCED TO RE-LIVE THEM AGAIN.* *2012-2014 AND 2017 WERE HORRIBLE, TOO.* *F-- THAT SH- !!!!* 💯
Really liking your stuff man. I’m the “rap-head” gaining an appreciation for rock and you’re helping me along tremendously. One of my best friends is in his 50’s/came up in the NYHC scene. You’ve given me great context to some of the names he’s thrown out at me throughout the years. Keep it the great work. All the best to you and yours
Gangnam Style is quite possibly the finest piece of recorded music ever crafted. I want nothing more than to have it blasting at my funeral.
me too
I always imagined the red solo cup guy as twice divorced, triple DUI'd and hanging out at college parties working on wife 3 and DUI 4.
Love this description.
Speaking of the Carly Rae Jepsen, when I (David) met my wife (Courtney) she listened to nothing but pop and Disney. Fast forward to now and she does lead vocals in our metal band! It was a very fun transition and like you've said in a lot of your vids Finn, it's that people want to have fun and it seems like a lot of metal people only want to be dark and brooding. I showed her how much fun it could be and now she does vocals and is a prominent member of the band!
There was a time when Call Me Mabey and Gangnam Style were on the airwaves at the same time and I'm convinced it's the only time that the world has known true peace.
I remember when Gangnam style came out my pop punk band jumped on the trend of making our own video doing the dance. We even went into a hotel and did the elevator shot.
I'm sooo glad that you explained about Rebecca. None of this was her fault. They actually wanted to give her a different song with more adult content but she wanted a song where she knew what she's singing about.
Here's why I think there was so much party music in the first half of the 2010s, I watched a video on it and it made a lot of sense. Popular music up to 2015 or 2016 was about escaping your problems, either physical or mental or by some outside force, by going partying and being extroverted. But from 2016 or 2017 onward it started changing to introspection, realizing you can't fully escape your demons, realizing the party scene can sometimes even make things worse. Another thing is that the sound of mainstream pop changed from the kind of stuff that's best played in a club or festival to the kind of music best listened to in your room.
Gangnam style and what does the fox say both came out while I was stationed in Korea. For MONTHS, those two songs were played nonstop in clubs on the weekends. That shit gave me more PTSD than my deployments lol
Based
I love the 90s Beavis and Butthead vibe when Finn mocks shitty music :)
You could just literally roll up to a Best Buy, walk in, and buy a PS3. Right off the shelf. Oh and walking to/from school, best thing. Our school let "walkers" go 15 minutes early at the end of the day.
This made me miss 2013, listening to Breakdown of Sanity and Born of Osiris on iPhone 5 and watching FaZe CoD montages was some of the best era of my life.
More like Adept and Battlefield for me, but Breakdown of Sanity was my shit for quite some time.
My high school would play the song Friday over the intercom every Friday one year. In between every class period and it would be like played off of a phone into the receiver of the phone that was used to speak over the intercom so it sounded all crackly and shitty. I was definitely an “ear buds in between classes” kid anyways but those days in particular they definitely came in handy 😅
I’m surprised LMFAO wasn’t mentioned they had everyone shuffling at my middle school dance 😂
Did my man just say Gucci Gang was a really good song?!?
And Lil Pump freestyles his garbage ass music doesn't mean he's good... 🙄
I'm just going to assume you're trolling and even if you say you're not, I wouldn't believe you.
can't the man just enjoy music?
Damn...
Hates Kendirck but loves Gucci Gang and "Lil Pimp BIG MAGA Steppin"
@@bruhyoulowontime9009 dudes it funny, I completely see your point and agree mostly. But. I also do content on here revolving around music and lemme tell you, if you have an opinion and put it on a video, people can and will shit on it. I'm just doing my part to help keep the YT Universe toxic. If we all started being rational, the world would explode. So I guess, no, he can't just like his own music.... lol.
@@gabrielhicks8043 i literally couldn't believe it when he said he liked Gucci Gang but hates Kendrick. WTF??
Time for another round of "Wait, you hate that, but like this?!"
I really liked Imagine Dragons "Radioactive". not bad compared to the other stuff that was on the radio at the time and I have some great nostalgia for it.
Absolutely agree! Same!
Yeah same! They had quite a few decent songs around the time of Radioactive and I saw them live and they were a lot of fun. Sure they're not the best songs ever, but I still think they're far far better than most of the stuff people were listening to then and they did not deserve the hate they got. I never understood it.
This was an awesome video, thanks Finn. That comment about being the girl in a cookie monster onsie outside 7-11 had me rollin
💯 Same
Sometimes i think Finn has literal brain dmg. xD
Gucci gang? He says the same word 20 times abusing our brains love for conditioning. That is also literally what every single mainstream song does anyway.
How is that new and fresh in any way shape or form? Because he sound high af while doing it? -.-
2010 was peak, " 18 year old in the hookah lounge calling it the club" running pop culture.
😂
Fun fact, the “con la terrorista” part from the “Harlem Shake” is from a Hector El Father song
I remember that 2008-2015 as the "Pop Edm era" and i have nothing but good memories.
I am Italian so I know we have weird tastes in music, but as long as you can dance to it with girls at the club, I'll buy it
There has been revisionist history on Call Me Maybe and Carly Rae's career as a whole. Her second album is actually pretty good for pop music
I still will die on my hill that Run Away With Me was one of the best pop songs of the decade
2010s were my younger to late 20s and I was touring in a hardcore band, had intense romance, always at practice or the studio and also had heart surgery but it was all a learning experience. I wouldn't ask for the heart issues and panic attacks again toward the end, though.
Finn’s reflection on Carly Rae Jepsen, her aesthetic, and her putative hipster cred was god-tier comedy, IMHO. Saying that as someone who bears no grudge against said pop singer. 😁☺️
I legit think her song Run Away With Me is one of the best pop songs from the 2010s decade
The early 2010’s were reaching 80’s levels of bad. Psy, Carly Rae Jepson, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, LMFAO, Awolnation, Imagine Dragons, Foster The People, Rebecca Black, Skrillex, One Direction, just horrendous shit.
This video was more nostalgic than I anticipated
That's weird, my 70-year-old dad tried to get me into Imagine Dragons too, a few times. What is it with that band and baby boomer dads?
They're so bland they appeal to anyone. And they try to keep themselves as bland as possible.
It's definitely a band I could see dads trying to relate to their sons about. See son, I'm cool and hip and like rock bands you're into see?!!
There's been a decline of musical taste for the past 10 years which Imagine Dragons is emblematic of. I'll vouch for his taste prior to the 2010s. Really the only bands who are "good" lately are in very niche genres, so I don't blame him for grasping at anything that comes by.
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Even if I’m not into a lot of your music likings your still real as they come. Keep it up please.
Thank you!
Europe is also Behemoth, Vader, Jinjer, Kreator, Scorpions, Meshuggah, Opeth, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, but we apologize for the song about the fox 😅
Europe practically invented metal, I get your point. Credit should be given where credit's due.
It was a simpler time, we were so unaware of the looming darkness.
Bit of a trip for me this episode. In 2010 I was at the lowest point in my life. This time in 2012 I was in the 2nd term of my first year of uni and realising I could change my life. Now I'm about to move to another country to start my dream job. 2010 seems like a life time ago.
Kinda feel like the pile on top Rebecca Black was a sign of the internet mob culture to come. Felt really bad for her at the time. I've never understood why people need to do that kind of thing. If you don't like it, move on. No need to be horrible to the person making the thing, especially if it's a kid.
"Negative people lash out at happy people..." So true, this was me too a tee back in 2010's.
Great video. I was in middle and high school in the 2010s so this was pretty nostalgic lol
Imagine dragons : writes about depression
Finn : they make happy music
Well....
-finn: "omg Europeans have such bad taste, how could they make this song"
-the song: *top of the charts hit in america*
Ylvis got bunch of other pretty decent songs, like Yan Egeland, Cabin or Stonehenge. They are good at storytelling.
The man hates Europe. The man ain't got to explain.
It's always a good day when Finn drops a new video.
What does the fox say being on the radio is like if they played hamster dance on the radio in 2000.
I was looking forward to another one of these. And it's nice that you even added the newer Rebecca Black song to give us a little closure.
Royals is indeed a great song, it however should NOT have won best ROCK song at the Grammys.
The 23:20 minute mark called me out in a way that I was not ready for. As a hardcore kid that’s dated several indie girls, I’ve never had someone I didn’t know present me with my type. How does one recover from this
We’re here for you, bruh ✊🤜
Our math teacher would make us watch Rebecca Black's Friday...every single fucking friday before the bell rang...pure torture lmao
Feel sorry for ya
Regarding telling a legend to "do it again." When they were laying down Minne the Moocher for the Blues Brothers soundtrack, the director John Landis had to be the one to ask Cab Calloway to "do it again but better". Cab immediately gave him a bunch of shit but when he went to do the second take he fucking hit it out of the park and it's the take used in the film/soundtrack.
Its so weird you said 2004 was the best year ever cause that was my favorite year too. Or at least when it came to music. I was just getting into rock, high school, the emo scene, Myspace and alot of other stuff. I LOVED that year
2010s were awesome.
Musicians who can barely tie their shoes wrote songs about what they knew. Partying and dancing. Sure there were problems but mostly people stayed in their lanes. Almost like spontaneous order and division of labor. We need to bring these times back.
Agreed, not well thought out songs but anthems of the every day life!
Call Me Maybe, Gangnam Style and Harlem Shake were literally everywhere I go. It's crazy to think these songs were what people loved it at the time being all that crazy about it, singing and dancing along with it and there was me wearing all black and my black hair covering one eye of mine.
This all happened in 2012-2013, back when I finished high school and went immediately to the academy and my music taste was changing from Metal to Metalcore.
Insane that everything took place 10 years ago. There were different times back then.
Rebecca Black lived in the the city just next to where I grew up. One evening, several years after the Friday catastrophe, my parents went out to dinner and they saw RB and my dad, trying to be a good guy, went over to her and said "Hey. Those Internet people are wrong. You're great." When I heard this, it made me rethink all the music recs my dad had given me over the years...
There was a rapper featured in the Friday song? Wow, I heard the song like ... many times. The more you know!
But gotta admit, she fully tested the power of internet (meme) virality and I have to say that the song is catchy and people still remember it, reference it, etc. Not like for example... something else I do not remember now from that era.
I was in my 20s all through the 2010s and I honestly think I ignored all new music for about 8 years 😂
Same. It was all so bad
@@celia93__ 😂 it was
I could say the same about the 90s music lol
Once again, your insights are so wise. I always find myself nodding along with your critiques.
We performed shut up and dance in my high school choir. Saying “come on girl” as a solo was a great highlight.
i remember thinking Radioactive was pretty fine when it initially came out, but then all Imagine Dragons later singles just seemed like rehashing the same beat-based commercial hype music gimmick. only stand-out single beside Radioactive was Demons for being a ballad, but that song just lacks passion on the choruses.
I thought Imagine Dragons were pretty decent on that first album too, but over time their songs just became more and more empty and hollow. They’re making the wrong kind of music imo. If they tried Butt rock/post-grunge stuff (like Shinedown, Hinder, ToaD, etc) I think they’d be pretty good at it.
@@pickles224 Maybe, I never really listened to them. I just remember the Assassin's Creed trailer and thinking the trailer song was not half bad actually. Come to think of it, Todd in the Shadows did do a double feature on them and OneRepublic for the songs Demons & Counting Stars and oddly enough his verdict was that the two bands switched with Imagine Dragons doing the bland song and One Republic the good one, which is in retrospect odd considering the general opinion on Imagine Dragons nowadays.
Kinda liked that song back in the day. The first 100 times I heard it. Much like Nickelback with How You Remind me 20 years ago. Although personally I prefer Nickelback over Imagine Dragons any day of the week. That’s just me
@@real30yearoldboomerhours53 totally! The two are kinda similar now that I think about it. When they first blew up, everyone loved their first few singles, but as time wore on, they just became lamer and lamer and by the end of the decade we asked ourselves “is this band even cool anymore?”
Man I graduated in 2013, this was such a nice throwback. I know it’s nostalgia talking but pop music back then was top notch. They just don’t make it like that anymore
"It's so catchy"
He says the name of song 8000 times
Hey Finn, how did you find the kirean punk scene when you were there. Did you get any opportunity to partake?
Nope I was just there for work
I think 1999 was the peak of civilization. Rock was still alive and well, America was still somewhat viewed highly, 9/11 hadn’t turned the whole world into a security state yet, and the internet was exploding in popularity. 2004 was a damn good year though.
Also, Rebecca got the last laugh, as she now collabs with bbno$ and Dorian Electra.
I think it’s dope that she collaborated with slayyter and Dorian. She fits the hyper-pop genre imo
@Ryleigh Elizabeth. 2004 was the start of the decline in music that we still haven’t recovered from.
The 90's were awsome for the US, but not anybody else. It only seems better because we were oblivious to how fucking terrible the government was to developing countries. Nobody ever liked us, we were just ignorant to it back then.
2010s = awful, I have no idea how you managed to make me feel even slightly nostalgic about it. The power of Finn.
And in another 10 years somehow we’ll all be saying the same thing lol
Friday was kind of the song that first showed me just how brutal the internet can be to people no matter how young you are
Lol seeing Walk the Moon made me rather nostalgic for when that song was on the radio all the time.
I remember seeing them open for Muse in 2019 and it seemed like nobody knew any of their songs…except that song and the crowd got hyped over it haha
I walk through my dangerous neighborhood putting on a tough face like I was taught to survive with my headphones on, people think I'm listening to Tupac or 50 cent or Scarface...in reality it's Call me maybe. Amazing song don't @ me
In 2013 I worked at the high school school Rebecca Black went to and another student teacher and I saw her and said, "I swear that's Rebecca Black". We got to meet her briefly and she was really nice and down to earth for having to go through all that bullshit she went through. I have a great amount of respect for her.
This is definitely my favorite reaction channel! 🥰
I worked at a wedding chapel for my first job. Shut up and dance with me was played at every single wedding. Every. Single. One.
I agree, Royals is one of the best pop songs ever. I'm not into pop music. I can tolerate it and find a way to enjoy it, but I generally would rather listen to something else. Royals though, I actually got excited when that song came on
Lorde’s first two albums are perfect pop albums in my opinion. Pure Heroine especially is just amazingly well written
Lou Reed- "I'm about to die so I guess I'll destroy whats left of Metallica real quick first."
he did a good job on The Killers album song called Tranquilize
Finn, on the Walk the moon type of pop rock, I’d love to see a video about pop rock in the last few years, bands like Grayscale(recently), and like The Band CAMINO
Fin liking lil pump over kendrick has genuinely broken me
The Within Temptation version of 'Radioactive' is legit really good. Then again, Sharon Den Adel can make anything sounds good 😂
And the Pentatonix version.
"I AM THE TABLE!!!!!!"
lmao wow, that collaboration between Metallica and Lou Reed really was that bad! I thought the naysayers we're exaggerating when they were all shitting on it as I never bothered listening to it before prior to watching this video, but it really was that bad! Lol
Finn, can you do a video on the aquabats and their impact? Think it would be cool to hear about how they transformed their incredible stage show into a very successful children’s show that exposed kids to lots of alternative music. I used to watch yo gabba with my daughter when she was a toddler. The Roots song was my favorite!
did he just say he "can't stand" KENDRICK?
thrift shop was a banger not gonna lie to you
What Does The Fox Say... I just... Am so glad I never have to hear that one again.
I showed my kindergartner "What does the fox say" and he LOVED it!! My wife was not impressed.
I just heard "What Does The Fox Say" for the first time a few months ago and I have to say, even one listen of that song is more irritating than listening to "Gangnam Style" hundreds of times 10 years ago when it came out
White nerds vining to thrift shop
You literally described my junior year in high school
Super dark times
I saw Imagine Dragons play at like noon at Riot Fest, waiting for Less Than Jake...I was a fan after their set. They really drew a big crowd as the set went on and I remember hearing several people talking about how great they were after never hearing them before...and a few months later, they absolutely blew up. Wasn't surprised.
I graduated in 2004, so it really was a fantastic time for me. It's definitely one of those things where we all thought it sucked at the time, but look back on it now with reverence and nostalgia.
Would highly recommend the Kony 2012 video by Internet Historian, pretty eye opening on what was going on. It's also the Internet Historian, so it's funny as hell too.
Well... now that I know Finn hates Kendrick I can say with confidence his taste in music is absolute shit. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Oh wow. So when he disagrees with your music taste. His taste is all shit? Quite a mature take you have there. A lot of music that I love, Finn dislikes but that doesn't mean I have superior music taste than him because no has superior taste in music.
@@lorenzolyleabadia1669 Get over it.
Glad to see Rebecca Black is doing ok and making cool music. Shame to see some many people hating an 8th grader.
The American equivalent to What does the fox say is Sexy and I know it by LMFAO. That song is evidence on my trial against America!
Fair
Gangnam style was playing when I got on my first carnival cruise and the whole crew was in on the promenade doing the dance. All I could thing was “oh boy… here we go”
Lil Pump's Gucci Gang is really bad! I know that I wasn't suppose to listen to it because it sucks, but everytime I listen to that song, I always laugh everytime. It's so bad it's funny!
Honestly this makes sense as to why I got heavily into the dubstep scene around 2009 - I just wasn’t feeling any new bands I discovered and I had listened to Black dahlia murder and job for a cowboy over and over 😂
Dude, "Red Solo Cup" was a life-defining song for me at the time lol. It's embarrassing, for sure, but it's also extremely nostalgic. There's a reason I haven't scrubbed off the double-underlined " RED SOLO CUP" written in crayon on my garage wall.
The funniest shit, how did I stumble across this video a year later, the same morning I realize ole “Harlem Shake” Baauer is going to be playing at a festival I’m working this summer? 😂
When it comes to pop culture and society in general I feel like the first half of the 2010s were definitely better than the second half. (Although certain things were better for me personally in the second half.)
I haven't even watched this video yet, I'm just here to say that the 2010s was one of the worst, horrid decades of all time. Not just for music but for pop culture / media in general and a whole bunch of other things I won't mention here cause youtube will probably delete my comment if I do. Any opportunity to slander the 2010s I will take.
I've noticed a few comments like this, and it made me feel better. I was just talking about how awful the 2010s were for everything - music, culture, cars, etc. Sure there were some exceptions, and my opinion may be skewed by the fact I was in high school and I hated high school, but...its nice that others share the same sentiment.
@@stw9495 Yes you are not alone. I was in high school for some of the decade too. It was truly a horrible, tacky, putrid decade and we're still culturally dealing with the 2010s unfortunately. IMO apart from the obvious global problem we have been dealing with since 2020, it doesn't feel like a new decade. If you time travelled to 2019 most things would be the same apart from the C word and a few minor things here and there.
It was simpler time indeed. Downtown rent for $650. Now you got roach nests for $2k, with no emergency maintenance.
7:19 Radioactive & the album it came from was originally ment to be the soundtrack for Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, A spiderman play made by Julie Taymor (most known for the Lion King play). This song is literally a out Peter Parker being bitten by the spider.
