Sir... Its only been 4 years. Nostalgia isnt what you think is... I mean I cant blame you if 4 years is like 1/4 of your lifespan but otherwise Im not sure
This was my school but uptown funk. It was on the radio, on in the gym, and on fridays we’d play a clean song by request (got a few memorable moments where the song was in fact not clean and there was admin panic.) and it was always uptown funk.
Ummmm... I'm scared to ask... What is it? And no, we didn't just wake up from a coma or step out from under a rock. Just literally was so busy that year and then the next few, so... 🤷🏻♀️
@@PrplPoppySystem pretty sure it's just the name of a song by The Weekend, my dad plays it occasionally in the car but other than that I have no context
Some people (I'm people) had to suffer this song being played every day on radio, at every social event, every store. Imagine Mariah Carey's christmas music but all year round@@waffleaffle231
In 2020, I didn’t mind Blinding Lights so much. But there was one song in 2019 that was total hell for me. Fricking Dance Monkey. People around me sang it every day. It was on the radio every day. It popped up on my RUclips feed every day. I could have sworn I even heard strangers on the street humming it.
I am so glad I have isolated myself from the world just enough to avoid ever listening to the entirety of Dance Monkey. I prefer rock and metal music anyway.
Legit, I thought it was from the eighties or something when she first started playing it. The electronic elements kinda reinforce that for me tho I think. Took me a minute to realize it’s not that old. This is a common phenomena tho, at least with information, when we learn new stuff or change our minds then it’s hard for us to remember what it was like to not know it or believe something else.
I was thinking of that one song "Because im happyyyy sing along if you feel like a room with out a roof" , they played that song on repeat at the school library for a long time
I got into an argument with someone who insisted they’d never heard a weeknd song. I was like… you’ve absolutely heard one of them. There’s no way you didn’t hear that one song
When you think about it he never said which guitar it is. There is acoustic guitar, electic guitar, classic guitar, (electric) bass guitar, acoustic bass guitar and probably many more that I don't know.
Ya. 2020. Stuck in our houses. No one was producing anything, nothing new was being released, and we were all in panic mode or trying not to be. And right before all that went down, this song came out, and it wasn't so positive that it was a slap in the face, but it was optimistic, It touched on notes of longing and loneliness but a little bit of joy to, so ya. It went down well at the time. Personally, I still love it, but I absolutely heard it several times a day.
Or you could have left your house and gone about daily life with nothing to fear because 99.9% of people that had it were fine. It's not other people's fault that you let someone youve never met before control your entire life.
For me in school it was the I walk 500 miles song. Every day!!! I mean they played the song like it was the national anthem. made the whole school gather and dance

"Killed".... meaning she made a complete mess of it? Or is this one of those new "opposite meaning" words, like sick, nasty, dope? Negative words to describe a positive thing? 🤔
The amount of times this played on the radio in one 4 hour shift at my campus job in 2020 is egregious. This unlocked a sensation I hoped would be buried for at least another 2 decades
When they say , “everyone heard back in 2020”, makes me realize we’re almost halfway through the 20s decade. Makes me feel kinda old when I’m just 24. Talking about 2020 as past really gives me nostalgia and frustration because I spent my 20,21 and 22 secluded in my house 😢and didn’t really get to enjoy my youth. Still young but I ain’t 20 anymore 😢 I hope someone else can relate
this felt similar to when Royals by Lorde came out. I had just graduated and for some reason, it was EVERYWHERE. then the Royals won the World Series a few years later and IT WAS EVERYWHERE AGAIN. I could've thrown up with how often I heard it 10 years ago, but now I enjoy hearing it come up~
I still get to listen to this every single day over the PA at my workplace. It's been playing every single day since I started there 5 years ago, along with fifty other moldy hits and if I quit tomorrow and come back to visit in twenty years they'll STILL be playing those same songs.
Bro this song was popular when I was working at my local pool and I swear to god it played every day, multiple times a day with maybe one or 2 songs in-between each time it was played💀
