Let's actually appreciate the mix of funny and heartfelt messages ❤ 1:07 Even though Newgrounds isn't on her laptop monitor, it's actually just Blingee lol 1:15 Luv all my friendz, they inspire me to keep making songs like these 1:25 She actually does have an iPhone, she just likes that one song and isn't using her phone right now 1:26 Yeah, did you see her DS earlier? Wait, why is she getting glitchy Uh Oh 1:34 Is this just Porter Robinson's Nurture aesthetic, but with a rainbow instead? 1:37 I've fallen in love with life and I don't know if I'm worried about what happen next 1:41 The status quo and the systems that rule us constantly stay the same, while the world and its problems change and grow 1:45 So long as someone's interests and pursuits do no harm, why should anyone ridicule and judge them for it? Fuck cringe culture and fuck the egocentric worlds I was encouraged by 1:45: Fuck perfectionism, fuck the pressure, go out and do whatever the fuck makes you happy. Everytime some asshole tries to shut you down, hold steady to your love for being alive 1:52 Nobody is perfect and you're going to continue to fuck up. But it's humbling to be able to earnestly say "I was wrong" It can be a hard lesson to learn, but it's worth it 1:58 Go out and discover a love for life, for friends, and creating. It will be okay, no matter how hard things end up seeming sometimes 1:58 This is where I chose life I will never turn back 1:58 (x5) 37.6486° N, 122.4296° W 2:10 This is the back of Lavender Harmony's iPad, and, in retrospect, it's pretty fucking badass 2:21 I would do anything for Flash Player to be optimized and viable again 2:32 In an effort to embrace yourself, you have to keep your cherished memories closest 2:33 I used to think photo diaries and memory journals were trivial mnemonics until I realized how fragile our memories are 2:39 Within reason, you can - and should - do whatever it is that you want to do. The people who want to bring you down will likely always do so in fear of your dedication and love for your passions 2:43 Just as you have been hurt, you have to hurt others. Pretending you're perfect only makes it worse for everyone. 2:46 Live your truth and fall in love 3:14 Fizz sent this to me while I was at work, and it was very hard to stop myself from bursting into laughter
You know, I've learned how to deal with "cringe culture" and all the other hassles one may face online... The real trick is to not give a fuck! People are stupid and you should only take them with a grain of salt...
"How fragile our memories are..." So true! I've had a brain injury, trauma, and I'm on female hormones that separate me from older memories... Do you know what it's like to not have a past? Cause I do! 😛
Antonym + Nymph = Antonymph It’s a phrase I came up that implies someone who is otherwise shy and reserved breaking out of their shell and becoming a social popstar! (More literally, the opposite of a shy critter!)
As one of those kids who had "unsupervised internet usage" back in the 2000s, this entire song feels like a giant love letter to my tween self. I hold those memories close and hope to never betray them.
It's funny; I thought this would be one of those songs that feel too "LOLXDRandom" for me but it really does just encapsulate what it was like as an early teen braving the wide new world of the internet. It's surprisingly poignant.
The whole “don’t care you think it’s cringe because it’s not your life” thing…. If everyone could just focus on their own happiness and stop caring what other people think the world would be a better and HAPPIER place
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis
@@apropercat4922 Can you just appreciate the man and the quote? Good Lord, no need to parade someone's flaws when championing all that they did right. C.S. Lewis was a good man.
@@apropercat4922 "Yeah we've all made mistakes before, that's a fact of life" are literally lyrics in the song we just listened to. Perhaps we should look past such follys to praise a man's good work?
@UmbrellaLeef Dude that is the most hipster shitty excuse ive ever seen, if youre killing the part of you that cringes then youre not self aware of your issues anymore lmao
I was in middle school near the end of this era, and I was quite literally "That internet freak." I was edgy and mean, I rejected the brony fandom to the point where I'd bluntly say "I hate her" to friends whenever I saw Derpy. I was awful, and now I just wish I could redo my life to have been a part of it. And with that, I love this song, it feels like I still can still experience so much of what I missed and rejected.
At the end of middle school, I was also some edgy kid. Part of the reason the sub-theme of this song is about being a better person and admitting you've fucked up is so that I can embody the exact thing my past self would hate. There were still so many things that I enjoyed, but no matter how much I was bullied I was also the bully. ANTONYMPH embraces trying to make right where you did wrong. And we can do that together. Becoming the better person is a long arduous journey, but if you can make it, there's a beautiful world of friendship and love and enjoyment to be had. This one goes out to all of us who needed to grow up, for real.
I once didn't liked MLP until the Quarantine happened, and now I'm watching it since most shows (Like Teen Titans GO!) are boring..... Really wished that I watched it back from 2012...... But this song makes me remember those times I had during the 2000's-2010's. Windows XP, LaFerrari, FNaF, DanTDM, PewDiePie, old Cartoon Network shows and other stuff that made me missed the 2000's-2010's. This IS THE song that explains that decade of awesomeness. Thank you Vylet, for making this song!
You know, i don't think you're alone in this. To a level, my case was the same as yours. I rejected the fandom too because everyone had this view of MLP being too girly. I joined the fandom when G4 was mostly over, which was in 2020. I regretted it.
"Don't care you think it's cringe because it's not your life" A fool tries to be based, but only achieves cringe. A wise man embraces their cringe, and becomes based - Confucius.
I don't generally tend to comment on videos, nor do I think this will necessarily be read, but I do want to say that this song has made me cry more than once. I have a tendency to be quite cruel to my younger self, and quite unjustly so; that kid was just trying to figure out what a person is supposed to do in a world that did not accept the strange and unusual. No one would explain what people were supposed to do, only that a child was somehow supposed to inherently know, and thus "act normal." I was not allowed to enjoy things, because I enjoyed them "too much" for most people around me to understand. I was considered immature, and in many places, very unwanted. People would use fake voices, assuming a child would not understand that they were faking their kindness. I could always tell. Unfortunately, that mindset bled into my adult self, who still looks at my younger self with that same scorn I had been given for enjoying things. I had become embarrassed to enjoy anything, to a degree where I would apologize for being excited, apologize for smiling, and teach myself not to smile or try not to talk about my passions to anyone, and if I ever got excited, I would consider it a "slip up" and a "social failure," and be mad at myself about it for months. But passions and joy are something to be cultivated and shared. My enjoyment of life should not be based in how others view my enjoyment, and they never should have been so deeply affected by others' baseless and cruel scorn. This song truly makes me want to be kinder to myself, both in my past, and in my future. Thank you.
As an adult, people also treated myself that way when I was younger. I decided to become the adult, the one who would protect that younger self over my joys and passions. The one who could protect others in that same situation. To stop that unfairness to happen again
@@FutureJB Art of any and all kinds is meant to invoke an emotional response. The fact that this song makes me experience a release of pent up emotion means that it was effective in its purpose. In other words: IMAGINE NOT KNOWING HOW MUSIC WORKS LMAOOOOOO
If it weren't for people who aren't afraid to be "cringe", there'd practically be no Internet culture to nostalgiapost about. Great music video, and great message!
The early internet was practically made for creative "cringey" weirdos to post about their niche online interests and subcultures x3 (p.s: I am saying this in pure positive context I don't mean anything negative by this CRINGE RUULEZZ!)
The fact that this still doesnt have like 1M views is unironically a crime. MLP themed or not this is unarguably a well crafted, super catchy and nostalgic asf song. Im legit addicted to it right now.
@@FutureJB you've just been spewing contrarian bullshit in the comments, but i am having fun following you and doing this, so hey, least your having a positive effect here 😆
1:53: "This is where I chose life I will never turn back" reading this is making me cry. It's something I want to say of myself so badly, yet it feels so hard to see yourself as the person who managed to live by these words. Thanks for reminding me of the passion to live again, Vylet.
I was never really into mlp but this had me on the verge of tears tbh, because of all the nostalgia and my insecurities about feeling cringey. fuck cringe culture. I wish I could tell my younger self they're no less deserving of love and happiness than other people just for being weird :( I wish I could tell my edgy-phase-self that trying too hard to fit in would only hurt me. I wish I had the confidence to be unapologetically myself today as a 24 year old, but hopefully I'll get there someday :) thank you.
Honestly same. When I was about 12 I started seeing ableist memes about autism. I have autism and adhd myself and I tried to mask by being ableist. It made my already bad depression and anxiety 100x worse, since I was hiding who I was. I also missed out on a lot in school because I needed special ed but refused it because it was for "r3t4rds" (ugh). I'm glad I grew out of that but I wish I didn't Change myself for some dumb memes on Reddit. Sidenote I absolulutely love your profile picture
broo cringe culture sucks. i fully blame it for all the transphobia that existed back in 2016, why i'm so insecure about everything, why i was ashamed of being autistic,, not sure why a bunch of mostly fully grown adults cant handle the fact that a child likes mlp to the point where other kids feel like they need to be that way to seem cool and i dont understand why it became so normalised on the internet in the first place. on god 2016 was an awful year to be yourself on the internet and the people that still perpetuate cringe culture need to grow up.
God, I fucking love this, cringe culture has to die, it's time to embrace what we love no matter what the world says about it. Also, I love the video, it has so many references and cool little easter eggs. It's amazing, definitely a new favorite.
@@ElWaKa69 To quote Vylet Pony (which I think is mentioned somewhere in text in the vid) Antonymph: "A word I made up, which refers to someone who is otherwise shy and reserved breaking out of their shell and becoming an absolute social popstar."
Hey. I want to leave a comment here, doesn't matter who sees it. Today, this song saved my life. I was at my lowest... BPD has been killing me slowly... But I got this in my recommendations again. Sure, I've listened to this before. But today, it felt... personal. Today I realized that I don't need to be worried. Sometimes life sucks, but it's okay. It all goes in cycles. This is not forever. Thank you, Vylet Pony. For making me live one more day. (and hopefully a lot of days after that)
Absolutely wonderful! A ton of stuff I love in here: The classic 2000s house synth pluck, nyancat windup, "kitty cat dance" bell, Skype noise, vocal chops, relatable af message, and all the adorable hoodie art and 2000s references! (All your base?!? I haven’t seen this meme in ages) Thank you for making this!!
Hey, I'm kind of ashamed to admit i ever was, and I doubt vylet will ever see it, but this song is a big part of why I'm not truscum anymore. Thank you for that.
“It’s never too late to fall in love with the world, your past is not today so set your stride with a twirl” is some real philosopher shit. Also a good reference to the song sung by Sunset Shimmer in that one EQG short.
As someone who was born in 1995 I sometimes look back to the days between my 7th grade and 11th grade years and most of my friends were cringe or either nerdy weirdos. I feel those days are far behind me now due to everyone growing up and becoming either distant or being someone else. It feels strange, as if everyone has grown up to the point they aren’t themselves anymore or life has just dealt them a shitty hand and thus forcing them into being someone they are not. Maybe it’s the reminders of the past, but sometimes I wish I could live my high school life once again, and hangout with all my old friends.
OKAY so I’m currently working as a teacher as I continue my studies and the fact that I like ponies (among other “””childish””” stuff) has made me REALLY insecure :-( I feel like I can’t just say it out loud bc otherwise no one is gonna take me seriously as a professional, but u know what? this song makes me feel better about myself, I’m not alone and I shouldn’t be ashamed of who I really am uwú thanks for making ur amazing music vylet, prrrrrr *hoof bump*
Hey, I do IT work for schools, and I use my Bronycon lanyard for my badge..with a Sunset pin on it...had a 14 yo kid come up to be so happy to see a adult into what he was ..said it made him feel less of a freak. (later on he seemed a lot happier ) so if you feel you can show it , even in a little way, do it...you never know how it may help someone.
Someone at a convention I was tabling at was cosplaying this fluttershy, and they came and talked to me for a bit and gave me a bracelet with the song name so I could find it later. I’ve been having a hard time lately and this song felt so kind and exactly what I needed to hear. Feeling a lot of gratitude rn ❤
My friends always say they listen to like rock or rap, and when I go to tell them I listen to stuff like this I just say "I just listen to music that makes me happy.. I don't care who made the song or what it's about.. I just listen to it because it makes me feel happy"
i know that you're unlikely to read this comment and you probably get a million others like it every day, but this song has genuinely changed my life for the better. as has the rest of your discography. i don't want to go on too much of a rant but before i discovered your music i was a very bitter, angry, ignorant and argumentative person. i didn't even realise it at the time, partially because a lot of the people i surrounded myself with acted in a similar way. the internet felt like a very scary place at the time, and still sometimes does to this day. ive been in my fair share of toxic circles of people and unhealthy behaviour patterns and it sucked. i never want to go back to that time. i left it all feeling very isolated, and on the verge of losing a lot of what i cherished closest. it was this song, and various other factors around the time, that lead to me actively trying to become a better person, actively trying to bring joy back into my life and getting back into art as an outlet for my feelings when id otherwise felt very creatively blocked. all of that resulted in me feeling more content with myself than i ever have before, and having the courage to take back power over parts of my life that had previously hurt me so deeply when i was younger. i love this song. i love the message, i love the visuals, i love absolutely everything it represents and the sort of mini subculture that's sparked as a result. im still not perfect, but im healing. in my own weird and often slightly cringy way. and im so so proud of that. i never was before, but now i am. im choosing life and im never ever turning back from that. thank you. genuinely. (also, neat little coincidence but this song reached one million views on my birthday yesterday! congrats on that by the way, it totally deserves to be seen by everyone tho :'3)
Thank you so much, Vylet. You might not see this, or really care, but you rekindled a part of me i didn't know was still there, and reminded me what it was like to be part of this herd when the world seemed so bright and colorful
i made a youtube account just to comment on how excited I am to see the final version of this and also thanks for letting me be part of it too, aaaaa, let's go
I can’t say a lot because I’ll end up spilling my whole life story down here, but this song really comforted me since my main interest right now is something that a lot of people hate on :( It’s nice to hear some positivity, and your songs are always so amazing :D
Hey, I really feel you on that. I have spent my whole life hiding who I truly am from the world amd this song brings me a lot of comfort. I hope I can be more like this song someday.
I feel you on that. I'm a furry, and while I've never experienced hate for it personally, it's extremely disheartening to see the hate and misconceptions floating around our fandom in this present day. Sure, there's definitely bad things and people in this fandom, but the majority are just kind people who like drawing funny animals. Generalizing a whole group based on a few rotten eggs is quite rotten in itself. It's the equivalent of the teacher that punishes the whole class because one kid did something stupid. It's not fair, yet I still see people embody this "teacher syndrome" all the time when talking about toxic fandoms. Seeing all of this hate can overwhelm me and give me heaps of anxiety. But, despite all of it, I continue to enjoy drawing my ocs. Why? Because I know that I'll be WAY less happy in life without it. If there's one thing you can never let them do, it's take away what's important to you. Your interests, your happiness; these matter to you, and that's all that matters. Don't let their petty comments get in the way of what matters to you. You are valid no matter how strange, taboo, or stigmatized your interests are. It may be hard to see the hate, but remember that anyone making fun of people for their interests is either a troll or a very sad human being that needs to touch some grass. Or go to therapy. Or both. Sorry for the long tangent. I hope I could help you in some form with this! And remember: you are never petty for using the block button 👍
I am addicted to this. As someone who has a chronic problem with becoming obsessed with kid's content and media that went out of style years ago this really resonates with something inside of me The animation just MAKES this video. All these references just blasted me back to the early 2000s and I am here for it! I also love the beat and everything going on with the instrumental, it's that type of music that just makes you want to dance and it goes perfectly with the bright colors Wishing everyone a good day destroying cringe culture :D
"as someone who has a chronic problem with becoming obsessed with kid's content and media that went out of style years ago this really resonates with something inside of me" you and me both, buddy XD
god damn, ever since this song came out 3 years ago, i still at least weekly come back to listen to it be it here or on spotify. I miss the pre 2010's but this song takes me back there. When cringe was cool and we were the first generation where everyone was discovering who they are online
PLEASE PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTION IF YOU CAN! - Enormous thanks to Voreburger who designed Fluttgirshy and helped conceptualize a lot of this project's lyrical & art direction. You can check out his work here: twitter.com/voreburger (Extra note: I’ve talked about it so many times before, but growing up it always felt pressured to listen to “real music”, namely things like classic rock, jazz, and classical. When I discovered electronic music for the first time, my love for pop would soon follow once I realized that “real music” is whatever you wanted it to be. I approached my 2019 album - Queen of Misfits - as a contemplative artpop record, but ANTONYMPH finally captures the dancepop style I had clandestinely enjoyed at the height of Ke$ha and Lady Gaga’s prominence during the 2010’s turn of the decade.)
I fucking love this video, I got my first computer in 2013 and it's like going through all of my memories of experiencing the internet in high school in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE :D Cringe culture is dying, and I say good riddance, I'll be holding onto ponies until the day I'm in the ground
@@compactracerboi4735 Nice! My first PC was windows XP as well, I got the computer in 2013 for like 40 bucks and it was manufactured in like, 2004, lol few years later I was IT certified and winning computer problem solving tournaments...
I wasn't even part of the pony fandom at the time but this teleported me straight back to 2012 and now I feel like I've been obsessed with colorful horses half of my life Seriously good stuff, love what you guys do
I went to the last BronyCon and have never felt more free. Met some amazing people and had an amazing time. This fandom was exactly what I needed in my life.

@@VyletPony It's so very difficult to summon the willpower to actually pause such an incredible song for the sake of reading these snippets of text, but I still love each and every one of them
This makes me happy. Not as a joke, not ironically, just genuine, pure happiness. What an incredible song and video, really throws me back to teenage years. Thank you for this
Lyrics (for those who want to follow along) I messaged somepony Over Tumblr last night She said “RAWR X3” So it’s true love at first sight Throw on my kandi bracelets Now I’m headed to class I’m still 20% So get your head out your ass - I’m the antonymph Of the internet Still cleaning up the viruses That you had left I think I’m falling In love again (love again) Don’t stop, don’t stop Until you hear the (yay) I’m the antonymph Of the internet Been fighting on Newgrounds Over if my love is valid Fuck the cynicism Let the colours fly Don’t care you think it’s cringe Because it’s not your life - She said do you like waffles? I said HELL YEAH! Been watching Equals Three Until 2am I ain’t got no iPhone But I got a DS With a keychain of Pinkie Her cupcakez are the best I’ve been failing my classes Cuz I don’t give a damn They say the world is my oyster But the free market’s a scam Everything has been changing Since last generation was born And they won’t try to take in Change is a two edged sword - I’m the antonymph Of the internet Still cleaning up the viruses That you had left I think I’m falling In love again (love again) Don’t stop, don’t stop Until you- I’m the antonymph Of the internet Been fighting on Newgrounds Over if my love is valid Fuck the cynicism Let the colours fly Don’t care you think it’s cringe Because it’s not your life - It’s never too late To fall in love with the world Your past is not today So set your stride with a twirl Yeah we’ve all made mistakes before That’s a fact of life But once you restitch your heart You’ll be just fine Now it’s you’re life You’ll say “It’s all mine! All mine…” Revel in your friends and hobbies Let your heart just speak When a drifter says some shit Just block that internet freak - I’m the antonymph Of the internet Still cleaning up the viruses That you had left I think I’m falling In love again (love again) Don’t stop, don’t stop Until you- I’m the antonymph Of the internet Been fighting on Newgrounds Over if my love is valid Fuck the cynicism Let the colours fly Don’t care you think it’s cringe Because it’s not your life
ALSO BIG NOTE: The Leekspin Fluttgirshy animation was done by opossum_stuff, not hazelnoods. That got missed in the proofreading process. Go support twitter.com/Opossum_stuff their art is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an anthem this song is. The lyrics aren't too complex yet there's a great depth to them, a wisdom in your words that only experience in life can bring. It's wonderful that something so fresh can strike with such nostalgia at the same time. I've listened to this at least a few times a day every day since first hearing it and I can't stop. Thank you, and everyone else who worked on this absolute gem!
I don't think I've ever heard a song that is this beautifully, unabashedly cringe, and fights cringe culture at the same time. You've managed to create a song that, from a critical perspective nearly every lyric could be considered naïve, idealistic, childish, edgy, immature, "cringe"... And yet together they send a message that says none of that matters. Because we _should_ be celebrating "cringe". We should be celebrating the dumb things we put online. As the song says, we've all made mistakes, especially online, but we should be celebrating those mistakes and what we've learned from them, how we grew, because those mistakes are _childhoods_ being formed online. And sure, there's some cynical people out there who are going to take offense or find it problematic the notion of kids growing up online, but hey, it's a fact of life that kids now are growing up online. Ever since the previous generation, everything's been changing! Don't let the cynicism control that, because as many horrible things exist online, there's so many more wonderful things. The internet has served as so many things to so many people, from a convenience, to a mode of escapism, to a part of peoples' identity that is completely inseparable from them. You don't need validation from someone else to justify your relation with the internet, and the relationships you've made on it. So yeah, go ahead and be "cringe". It's your life, no one else's.
@@Gromek999 Was watching through all your terraria stuff lately and noticed the outtro sounded familiar, great choice of artist! also congrats on the For the worthy finale, amazing video!
i don't think there's been anything better for my mental health than tossing cynicism aside. Yes, it protects you against some mockery and dulls the pain of life, but it dulls the joys as well. The world takes on so much color when you let yourself feel genuinely happy and give up on shame.
@@IAteUranium-238 What on earth are you talking about. I don't have kids or have tiktok. Are you a preteen who's going through their "edgy phase" and hasn't figured out how to communicate concepts yet? Your comment is really weirdly structured, like you're a kid trying to copycat the structure of memes you saw on the internet.
I'm not part of the mlp fandom, and I've had a lot of acceptance issues. At my age, a lot of people like to be assholes. And it took a lot for me to look past that. Even now, i struggle to go on with my self-confidence. But hell if finding people I can talk and relate to hasn't helped. So, whatever it is that people have to say, it doesn't matter, because if you can find validity within yourself, then you have nothing to worry about. Just find your solidarity.
@@VyletPony Imo all your songs are technically good songs because you know how to compose music (so technically they aren't bad) but some of them hit different or are specially good
seeing nostalgia for the early 2000's internet nearly brings me to tears because of how everything recently has just become so soulless online, seeing people remember the way things we're and even try to bring small pieces of it back is just amazing. This video makes me happy and sad at the same damn time.
Really pleasant surprise with this song, I didn't expect such genre to hold such message. The song really shows what internet can offer to people nowadays, from simple chats to first romances. Fluttershy also fits this song perfectly, a shy pony chatting online with people rather than talking to them in person. Lovely animation tops it all off, great job
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THIS IS SO NOSTALGIC I LOVE IT SM SINCE I USE TO HAVE THE BIGGEST MLP PHASE BACK WHEN I WAS 10 AND EVERYTHING AAAA BACK when i used to unironically say "everypony" LOOLL this is beautiful :3
I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS! I grew up in the 2010s & see a lot of kids today who didn't live that time period try to emulate it in all the wrong ways, & this has such good nostalgia. You all did a wonderful job at emulating 2010s aesthetics; it's perfect!
This song represents everything i was bullied for in middle school... By a teacher If I ever see her again I'm gonna play this song at full blast until she fucking cries
The live-action footage and text quotes here and there really tie this all together and elevate this from "affectionate love letter to a bygone era" to "deeply personal and emotional masterwork tackling nostalgia and memory itself". I am perhaps getting a Bit misty-eyed.
Ok so I found this outta nowhere and im not really into mlp, but I will whole heartedly admit this sounds better than literally 90% of the music on the radio.
i'm not really one to comment on songs (and you probably won't see this, but hello whoever's reading!) but honestly listening to this song has been helping me heal over everything i've gone through recently. i've lost my boyfriend as well as a large friend group over a rumor (not even about me, fyi) and even months later, it's still tearing me up inside. everything's felt so monochrome and i've been unable to enjoy things like i did before, even just straight up avoiding some things because they have bad ties to the past, but every time i listen to this song (especially on repeat), i'm reminded that things will get better. definitely not soon, especially when you've been completely shattered, but people, and your interests will slowly numb the pain. the wound will scar, and it'll still be a harsh reminder of what happened, but you've gotten through hardships before, and no matter how wounded you become, you will heal from it and continue on, even if it's a painstaking crawl at first, or even hardly any movement at all. no matter how small the progress is, even miniscule, it's still progress towards a better future,, and,,,,,, wow, i didn't expect to ramble like this, hehe. but uhm.. you will heal. eventually. and that's what keeps me going no matter how many times i've been shattered and absolutely destroyed, even if i don't always see the point of even continuing. i'm always scared about forming connections because it always seems like something goes wrong, but i have to remind myself that a bad outcome is never guaranteed in the relationships i form. and even if anxiety plagues me every day over people leaving me, i have to remind myself that the real ones will stay, even if they are incredibly few and far between. it may not always be a comforting reminder, but it is a reminder nonetheless. you'll find your people, you will find people who genuinely care about you. i know it's super cliché to hear, and you're probably gagging at the screen reading this right now (lol), but it's true. alongside helping me heal with people problems, this has also helped me to slowly accept my more "cringe" ideas and interests, because i've rid myself of fun for FAR too long now, and i really need to loosen up and just.... love life. if we truly only have one life, why should we care so much about what other people think, right? i know anxiety can't just be wisped away with a simple "fuck everyone else", but the more you remind yourself you deserve to be happy too, the more you can.. relax and be yourself. even if "yourself" is seen as "cringe" by a majority of people. we've been suffocated far too long growing up, told to quiet down or to stop something, and we need to unlearn that and just... be.. happy. ...sorry for that if you read through it all, LOL. but if you did manage to read through all this bleeding heart word vomit mess, please take what i say to heart. you will be okay. maybe not as soon as you wish, but wounds will heal, eventually. and revel in your interests and hobbies. be "cringe", be free. you deserve it. trust me, you've got this.
Omg I'm so sorry that all of this happened to you! Ik it's hard to go through all this and I'm hoping for the best for u. Ur probably a really good person in irl! U deserve way better! ❤
this is really corny and I'll keep my comment brief but I'm so glad I found this. I was just freaking out for a long time and decided to listen to music. got to this one while subconsciously looking for extra stimulus and scrolled to the comments sorted by new. I've snapped out of the echo chamber my head was in because of these words and realizing that my life isn't over just because the past is. I'm sorry for all that you've gone through and that you're going through but I hope you never forget the words you've written, that you will heal ❤ and I'm really hoping you found people who are there for you, and if you haven't, I'm thinking real hard that you will find them and putting that magical energy into this message 😎 I know that last bit sounded cringe but why not lol, added sunglasses emoji for extra cheesiness even
@@FluffyFaven i've only just now seen this, but i'm glad i was able to help you out of your rut of depression even a lil bit with my ramblings, hehe i've found just a handful of people who have been helping me heal, and although i'm still terrified every single day they'll just up and leave, i'm doing my best to ignore the more negative thoughts and learn to just be happy and in the moment. it's not always comforting to put such thoughts on the backburner, but... sometimes it's necessary in order to heal, yknow? i've been working on something for a little while now, and it's been giving me something to do to help my mind off of the more harsh and scary thoughts that usually come with the deadly duo of anxiety and depression, and.... even though i'm nowhere near where i wanna be, i AM getting better by all means. it's like i said in the OG comment, the scar will be a harsh, ugly reminder of what you've gone through, but you will always keep trekking forward towards a better future, even if you gotta fake it till you make it, and even if it's false hope, it is still hope that things will get better... and i find that really really special, honestly..
@@zer0_ne0 I'm happy that you've found those people and you're healing, even if it's taking time ❤ I am also glad that you're able to work on whatever it is you are and I hope you're able to enjoy whatever activities you're up to. I wish I could fill my comment with as many profound words as you have, but I feel like you've summarized everything I would say to you as well, and I am currently a little tired at the moment, haha . genuinely thank you for putting out the good vibes though, and I'll definitely try my best to do the same
Don't mind me, I'm just listening to this for probably the twentieth time. Manifesting this kind of "don't care you think it's cringe" energy for myself this decade.
i haven't been part of the fandom for many years now, but i was revisiting some old mlp songs the other day out of nostalgia and this popped up in the related videos. i clicked it out of curiosity and just upon seeing the old windows movie maker default intro i knew i was in for something special, and boy was i right. this video really scratches that old sense of nostalgia of all the dumb shit i did and liked then, while simultaneously putting a positive message about embracing all of that stuff and what it has turned me into today. i am thankful for having been part of the fandom, it really did mean a lot to me in discovering who i am. i'm sure you won't read this, but i just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart: thank you for this wonderful music video.
This legit gave me tear filled feels :_) while its a great love letter to late 2000's internet, its message of letting everyone enjoy what makes them happy is a life philosophy I've held for over a decade and while I never got into MLP or Bronys, from its start I found a deep respect for them being so openly proud of something others would gladly ridicule and that respect helped me out a lot when I was still figuring out the world and my tiny place in it ^_^
@@SunIsLost I kinda wanna watch MLP but I don't have any streaming services; only cable. Do you know a place where I can watch whole episodes on RUclips?
man, i haven't watched MLP in like 8 years but this song makes me want to try watching it again to see if i still like it. Im very happy that siivagunner rip introduced me to this banger of a song.
I don't identify with /everything/ in this video but I can never, ever, not even once get through it without bursting into tears. It really takes me back to a better time and helps me bask in the fun and the love I've gotten to experience on the internet. It might be really different now but I'll always have these memories and some of the best friends I've ever made. I hope I'll be able to listen to it in the future during a time when the internet feels like a big, new, bright adventure every single day again. thank you for making this.
i still don't understand why everyone is "tearing up" over this. Is there like something that happened to the creater or something, it's just a good song lol
omg, this literally made me shed tears of nostalgia and remember how happy I was to be able to express myself however I wanted on the internet after a day of bullying at school. This song touched a very joyful season of my life, 2010-2015 were my most precious years, I discovered so many things and without a doubt I understood all the references of the video. Maybe a person who was born between 2000-2004 can understand all this if he stayed in front of the screen from an early age. Now I love this song with all my soul, it is my second favorite of the ones you have done, I admire your work, you have inspired me as you have always done with your songs. Go ahead Vylet, I want to continue satisfying my ears with your melodies; and to all the artists who collaborated for this work I wish you the same, go ahead satisfying the human eye with your beautiful works **Brohoof** and sorry 4 my bad english!!1!!1 o_0 xDD
"There’s so many things in the world and online to fall in love with and to find happiness in" YES so very well said!! A song about all the things you can be passionate in and all those potential sources of happiness, and being proud of being passionate in those things and being yourself? Yes please!! Definitely a part of the brony spirit, and I'm loving this song's message and the video a lot. I can definitely see that it was a passion project! :D I appreciate that collaboration and all those awesome callbacks, and the surge of much needed positivity. This is honestly refreshing and I'm glad you're spreading those messages that I very much agree with. Also, yeah, still cleaning up the viruses... it's pretty damn hard tho :'c That board with "OMG I love everyone" written on it... So wholesome!! And it reminds me of my feelings ^.^ If more people were feeling like that, and were feeling actual love for others... the world would be a much better place. Well, I'm still working on spreading those messages of love everyday. And I'm glad you did with this song :) Definitely a lot of effort has been put into this and I'm proud of you for what you've done and how you've overcome those demons from the past to now make songs with strong messages such as these. Awesome work on both the song and the video! Now let's indulge in ALL of our passions and internet hobbies like Fluttershy!! :D
This transported me back to my dumb little ask blog on Tumblr, drawing my silly little horses, staying up late to catch the nightly round up on eqd, and going to Seattle every month for efnw staff meetings, the Skype ring absolutely sent me back 10 years jfc how has it been this long haha
I was a little too young for this era, but this still gives me a weird nostalgia for something I never did. Also fun fact, did you know that Nyah cat was a vocaloid song?
can't wait for this one, it's gonna be a great time remembering all the old internet nostalgia references/memes, and i've got the feeling that this song's gonna be a real banger!
I listened to this song like a year or two ago but it was like a sped up version on Spotify, but then J found it again and it was the original one and I just watched this for the first time and just realized that they actually used fluttershy’s “yay” and like I WANNA CRY OH MY GOD ABSVWBVEGqjbs this is the best song frrrr
This made me nostalgic of the early 2010s, great job. Now i miss school and lan parties. I am happy so many people came together for this, the artwork is awesome.
This is one of the best and most important projects I've seen in a long time, I think. Not just within the pony fandom, but in general -- I'm putting this up there with my favorite works by my favorite artists of all time. By making something unapologetically you, you've reminded us all of the value of being ourselves, and that "cringe" is often just an unimaginative person's reaction to someone else's fun. Thank you. (Also, it was a heck of a lot of fun to go through and catch the easter eggs in here, and also to read all the very important little messages scattered around. Such a feel-good piece of art.)

Let's actually appreciate the mix of funny and heartfelt messages ❤
1:07 Even though Newgrounds isn't on her laptop monitor, it's actually just Blingee lol
1:15 Luv all my friendz, they inspire me to keep making songs like these
1:25 She actually does have an iPhone, she just likes that one song and isn't using her phone right now
1:26 Yeah, did you see her DS earlier? Wait, why is she getting glitchy Uh Oh
1:34 Is this just Porter Robinson's Nurture aesthetic, but with a rainbow instead?
1:37 I've fallen in love with life and I don't know if I'm worried about what happen next
1:41 The status quo and the systems that rule us constantly stay the same, while the world and its problems change and grow
1:45 So long as someone's interests and pursuits do no harm, why should anyone ridicule and judge them for it? Fuck cringe culture and fuck the egocentric worlds I was encouraged by
1:45: Fuck perfectionism, fuck the pressure, go out and do whatever the fuck makes you happy. Everytime some asshole tries to shut you down, hold steady to your love for being alive
1:52 Nobody is perfect and you're going to continue to fuck up. But it's humbling to be able to earnestly say "I was wrong" It can be a hard lesson to learn, but it's worth it
1:58 Go out and discover a love for life, for friends, and creating. It will be okay, no matter how hard things end up seeming sometimes
1:58 This is where I chose life I will never turn back
1:58 (x5) 37.6486° N, 122.4296° W
2:10 This is the back of Lavender Harmony's iPad, and, in retrospect, it's pretty fucking badass
2:21 I would do anything for Flash Player to be optimized and viable again
2:32 In an effort to embrace yourself, you have to keep your cherished memories closest
2:33 I used to think photo diaries and memory journals were trivial mnemonics until I realized how fragile our memories are
2:39 Within reason, you can - and should - do whatever it is that you want to do. The people who want to bring you down will likely always do so in fear of your dedication and love for your passions
2:43 Just as you have been hurt, you have to hurt others. Pretending you're perfect only makes it worse for everyone.
2:46 Live your truth and fall in love
3:14 Fizz sent this to me while I was at work, and it was very hard to stop myself from bursting into laughter
!!!!!!!! this is awesome
Whats the significance of the coordinates at 1:58? i cant find anything of interest there :/

You know, I've learned how to deal with "cringe culture" and all the other hassles one may face online... The real trick is to not give a fuck! People are stupid and you should only take them with a grain of salt...
"How fragile our memories are..." So true! I've had a brain injury, trauma, and I'm on female hormones that separate me from older memories... Do you know what it's like to not have a past? Cause I do! 😛
p.s. for those out of the loop: Gir is the character from Invader Zim, and Fluttershy is wearing a hoodie of them. therefore: fluttgirshy
invader zim still one of my favorite tv shows
I'll be honest, when I first read it, I read it as Fluttergirlshy. Makes more sense with the hoodie.
I JUST NOTICED-

Nice video
Oooh, I was wondering what that meant!
She says "don't stop, don't stop until you hear the 'yay!'"
but she never says 'yay' again, therefore you shouldn't stop.

"How many late 00s-early 10s references you want?"
"Yes"
All of them...
Ah yes early 2000s
So basically 2005-2015
I even noticed very early ATB's Don't Stop synth lead, amongst other house lead references of late 00's.
the song itself feels like it came from that time
As one of those kids who had "unsupervised internet usage" back in the 2000s, this entire song feels like a giant love letter to my tween self. I hold those memories close and hope to never betray them.
Me too and hel was on the internet during the scene kid and mlp g4 boom. the comfort I felt during the entire video is unreal.
It's funny; I thought this would be one of those songs that feel too "LOLXDRandom" for me but it really does just encapsulate what it was like as an early teen braving the wide new world of the internet. It's surprisingly poignant.
I wish i had internet access back then, but i am trying to study the past and rediscover everything i missed out on
@@LocalTorchwoodIntern same loved it back then
Ah, the nostalgia, so many old internet references in one video 😊
this song is such a fucking beautiful tribute to 2000s internet fandom culture, it makes me fuckin sobbb
I began sobbing because of the message it portrays
only thing missing was a Flipnote Hatena reference! lol
Oh my gosh yes
I got no iPhone, but I got a Nintendo DS was close.

@@TheEvilPinkOne But what if we're just owning what the past once owned and will someday have to sell it to the future?
The whole “don’t care you think it’s cringe because it’s not your life” thing…. If everyone could just focus on their own happiness and stop caring what other people think the world would be a better and HAPPIER place
frrr
@@FutureJB yeah, I agree. It wouldn't be a better and happier place. cause even if everyone did, you'd still be here
@@raeishimuraThis made gasp outloud holy shit /positive
But what if I'm happy when I'm shame people for their interests
False. What about the people that are made happy by hurting other people?
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

don't kill the part of you that's cringe, kill the part of you that cringes.

This is so true!
@UmbrellaLeef yes it is
No thats just terrible advice on every single level
@UmbrellaLeef Dude that is the most hipster shitty excuse ive ever seen, if youre killing the part of you that cringes then youre not self aware of your issues anymore lmao
This song, after listening to it several times, helped me choose life on March 31st, 2024. And I will never turn back.
I'm glad you're still here
I was in middle school near the end of this era, and I was quite literally "That internet freak." I was edgy and mean, I rejected the brony fandom to the point where I'd bluntly say "I hate her" to friends whenever I saw Derpy. I was awful, and now I just wish I could redo my life to have been a part of it.
And with that, I love this song, it feels like I still can still experience so much of what I missed and rejected.
At the end of middle school, I was also some edgy kid. Part of the reason the sub-theme of this song is about being a better person and admitting you've fucked up is so that I can embody the exact thing my past self would hate. There were still so many things that I enjoyed, but no matter how much I was bullied I was also the bully. ANTONYMPH embraces trying to make right where you did wrong. And we can do that together. Becoming the better person is a long arduous journey, but if you can make it, there's a beautiful world of friendship and love and enjoyment to be had. This one goes out to all of us who needed to grow up, for real.
@@VyletPony I can feel it. All else I can say is thank you so much for making this song! It's cathartic.
I once didn't liked MLP until the Quarantine happened, and now I'm watching it since most shows (Like Teen Titans GO!) are boring.....
Really wished that I watched it back from 2012......
But this song makes me remember those times I had during the 2000's-2010's. Windows XP, LaFerrari, FNaF, DanTDM, PewDiePie, old Cartoon Network shows and other stuff that made me missed the 2000's-2010's. This IS THE song that explains that decade of awesomeness.
Thank you Vylet, for making this song!
You know, i don't think you're alone in this. To a level, my case was the same as yours. I rejected the fandom too because everyone had this view of MLP being too girly. I joined the fandom when G4 was mostly over, which was in 2020. I regretted it.
@@MrDespresso17 yeah, blame this to the gender stereotypes....
"Don't care you think it's cringe because it's not your life"

That is incredible
@@VyletPony I regret to inform thee that the Chinese language is too poor to translate this.
I don't generally tend to comment on videos, nor do I think this will necessarily be read, but I do want to say that this song has made me cry more than once.
I have a tendency to be quite cruel to my younger self, and quite unjustly so; that kid was just trying to figure out what a person is supposed to do in a world that did not accept the strange and unusual. No one would explain what people were supposed to do, only that a child was somehow supposed to inherently know, and thus "act normal." I was not allowed to enjoy things, because I enjoyed them "too much" for most people around me to understand.
I was considered immature, and in many places, very unwanted. People would use fake voices, assuming a child would not understand that they were faking their kindness. I could always tell.
Unfortunately, that mindset bled into my adult self, who still looks at my younger self with that same scorn I had been given for enjoying things. I had become embarrassed to enjoy anything, to a degree where I would apologize for being excited, apologize for smiling, and teach myself not to smile or try not to talk about my passions to anyone, and if I ever got excited, I would consider it a "slip up" and a "social failure," and be mad at myself about it for months.
But passions and joy are something to be cultivated and shared. My enjoyment of life should not be based in how others view my enjoyment, and they never should have been so deeply affected by others' baseless and cruel scorn.
This song truly makes me want to be kinder to myself, both in my past, and in my future.
Thank you.
As an adult, people also treated myself that way when I was younger. I decided to become the adult, the one who would protect that younger self over my joys and passions. The one who could protect others in that same situation. To stop that unfairness to happen again
@@FutureJB Art of any and all kinds is meant to invoke an emotional response. The fact that this song makes me experience a release of pent up emotion means that it was effective in its purpose.
In other words: IMAGINE NOT KNOWING HOW MUSIC WORKS LMAOOOOOO
@@FutureJB Imagine trolling through the comments just to be a jerk dude. Seriously, do something better with yourself, stop trying to cause problems.

I’m not very expressive, but I absolutely love expressive, and extroverted people. They make life a lot more fun.
If it weren't for people who aren't afraid to be "cringe", there'd practically be no Internet culture to nostalgiapost about. Great music video, and great message!
@@FutureJB definitely true. Unlike everything you have said
completely true.
@@FutureJB what a miserable person you are
The early internet was practically made for creative "cringey" weirdos to post about their niche online interests and subcultures x3 (p.s: I am saying this in pure positive context I don't mean anything negative by this CRINGE RUULEZZ!)
It brings me great joy to see the toxic discourse slowly eroding away in favor of the “I am cringe, but I am free” sentiment
The fact that this still doesnt have like 1M views is unironically a crime. MLP themed or not this is unarguably a well crafted, super catchy and nostalgic asf song. Im legit addicted to it right now.
Like that drop literally gives me chills.
1 million only?? This desevers minimum 500 million views. I would be happy with that amount

1:53: "This is where I chose life I will never turn back" reading this is making me cry. It's something I want to say of myself so badly, yet it feels so hard to see yourself as the person who managed to live by these words. Thanks for reminding me of the passion to live again, Vylet.
I was never really into mlp but this had me on the verge of tears tbh, because of all the nostalgia and my insecurities about feeling cringey. fuck cringe culture. I wish I could tell my younger self they're no less deserving of love and happiness than other people just for being weird :( I wish I could tell my edgy-phase-self that trying too hard to fit in would only hurt me. I wish I had the confidence to be unapologetically myself today as a 24 year old, but hopefully I'll get there someday :) thank you.
YOU CAN DO THISS
I love it when art uplifts like this. May you thrive beautifully and authenticly!
Honestly same. When I was about 12 I started seeing ableist memes about autism. I have autism and adhd myself and I tried to mask by being ableist. It made my already bad depression and anxiety 100x worse, since I was hiding who I was. I also missed out on a lot in school because I needed special ed but refused it because it was for "r3t4rds" (ugh). I'm glad I grew out of that but I wish I didn't Change myself for some dumb memes on Reddit.
Sidenote I absolulutely love your profile picture
I feel this. I know we're all going to get there.
broo cringe culture sucks. i fully blame it for all the transphobia that existed back in 2016, why i'm so insecure about everything, why i was ashamed of being autistic,, not sure why a bunch of mostly fully grown adults cant handle the fact that a child likes mlp to the point where other kids feel like they need to be that way to seem cool and i dont understand why it became so normalised on the internet in the first place. on god 2016 was an awful year to be yourself on the internet and the people that still perpetuate cringe culture need to grow up.
As a 30 year old grandma who's been online since 2004, this video means so much to me...

The classic 2000s house synth pluck, nyancat windup, "kitty cat dance" bell, Skype noise, vocal chops, relatable af message, and all the adorable hoodie art and 2000s references! (All your base?!? I haven’t seen this meme in ages)

“It’s never too late to fall in love with the world, your past is not today so set your stride with a twirl” is some real philosopher shit. Also a good reference to the song sung by Sunset Shimmer in that one EQG short.
As someone who was born in 1995 I sometimes look back to the days between my 7th grade and 11th grade years and most of my friends were cringe or either nerdy weirdos.
I feel those days are far behind me now due to everyone growing up and becoming either distant or being someone else.
It feels strange, as if everyone has grown up to the point they aren’t themselves anymore or life has just dealt them a shitty hand and thus forcing them into being someone they are not.
Maybe it’s the reminders of the past, but sometimes I wish I could live my high school life once again, and hangout with all my old friends.
OKAY so I’m currently working as a teacher as I continue my studies and the fact that I like ponies (among other “””childish””” stuff) has made me REALLY insecure :-( I feel like I can’t just say it out loud bc otherwise no one is gonna take me seriously as a professional, but u know what? this song makes me feel better about myself, I’m not alone and I shouldn’t be ashamed of who I really am uwú thanks for making ur amazing music vylet, prrrrrr *hoof bump*

Hey, I do IT work for schools, and I use my Bronycon lanyard for my badge..with a Sunset pin on it...had a 14 yo kid come up to be so happy to see a adult into what he was ..said it made him feel less of a freak. (later on he seemed a lot happier ) so if you feel you can show it , even in a little way, do it...you never know how it may help someone.

YAAAAAA YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB BRO ;0;
Someone at a convention I was tabling at was cosplaying this fluttershy, and they came and talked to me for a bit and gave me a bracelet with the song name so
I could find it later. I’ve been having a hard time lately and this song felt so kind and exactly what I needed to hear. Feeling a lot of gratitude rn ❤
i'm in love with this
My friends always say they listen to like rock or rap, and when I go to tell them I listen to stuff like this I just say "I just listen to music that makes me happy.. I don't care who made the song or what it's about.. I just listen to it because it makes me feel happy"
also because pon
Same. The only music I listen are all from either Geometry Dash or Siivagunner.
i know that you're unlikely to read this comment and you probably get a million others like it every day, but this song has genuinely changed my life for the better. as has the rest of your discography.
i don't want to go on too much of a rant but before i discovered your music i was a very bitter, angry, ignorant and argumentative person. i didn't even realise it at the time, partially because a lot of the people i surrounded myself with acted in a similar way. the internet felt like a very scary place at the time, and still sometimes does to this day. ive been in my fair share of toxic circles of people and unhealthy behaviour patterns and it sucked. i never want to go back to that time.
i left it all feeling very isolated, and on the verge of losing a lot of what i cherished closest. it was this song, and various other factors around the time, that lead to me actively trying to become a better person, actively trying to bring joy back into my life and getting back into art as an outlet for my feelings when id otherwise felt very creatively blocked. all of that resulted in me feeling more content with myself than i ever have before, and having the courage to take back power over parts of my life that had previously hurt me so deeply when i was younger.
i love this song. i love the message, i love the visuals, i love absolutely everything it represents and the sort of mini subculture that's sparked as a result.
im still not perfect, but im healing. in my own weird and often slightly cringy way. and im so so proud of that. i never was before, but now i am. im choosing life and im never ever turning back from that.
thank you. genuinely.
(also, neat little coincidence but this song reached one million views on my birthday yesterday! congrats on that by the way, it totally deserves to be seen by everyone tho :'3)

I can’t say a lot because I’ll end up spilling my whole life story down here, but this song really comforted me since my main interest right now is something that a lot of people hate on :(
It’s nice to hear some positivity, and your songs are always so amazing :D
Hey, I really feel you on that. I have spent my whole life hiding who I truly am from the world amd this song brings me a lot of comfort. I hope I can be more like this song someday.
@Dani Dude yes
I feel you on that. I'm a furry, and while I've never experienced hate for it personally, it's extremely disheartening to see the hate and misconceptions floating around our fandom in this present day. Sure, there's definitely bad things and people in this fandom, but the majority are just kind people who like drawing funny animals. Generalizing a whole group based on a few rotten eggs is quite rotten in itself. It's the equivalent of the teacher that punishes the whole class because one kid did something stupid. It's not fair, yet I still see people embody this "teacher syndrome" all the time when talking about toxic fandoms. Seeing all of this hate can overwhelm me and give me heaps of anxiety. But, despite all of it, I continue to enjoy drawing my ocs. Why? Because I know that I'll be WAY less happy in life without it. If there's one thing you can never let them do, it's take away what's important to you. Your interests, your happiness; these matter to you, and that's all that matters. Don't let their petty comments get in the way of what matters to you. You are valid no matter how strange, taboo, or stigmatized your interests are.
It may be hard to see the hate, but remember that anyone making fun of people for their interests is either a troll or a very sad human being that needs to touch some grass. Or go to therapy. Or both.
Sorry for the long tangent. I hope I could help you in some form with this! And remember: you are never petty for using the block button 👍

god damn, ever since this song came out 3 years ago, i still at least weekly come back to listen to it be it here or on spotify. I miss the pre 2010's but this song takes me back there. When cringe was cool and we were the first generation where everyone was discovering who they are online
PLEASE PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTION IF YOU CAN! - Enormous thanks to Voreburger who designed Fluttgirshy and helped conceptualize a lot of this project's lyrical & art direction. You can check out his work here: twitter.com/voreburger
(Extra note: I’ve talked about it so many times before, but growing up it always felt pressured to listen to “real music”, namely things like classic rock, jazz, and classical. When I discovered electronic music for the first time, my love for pop would soon follow once I realized that “real music” is whatever you wanted it to be. I approached my 2019 album - Queen of Misfits - as a contemplative artpop record, but ANTONYMPH finally captures the dancepop style I had clandestinely enjoyed at the height of Ke$ha and Lady Gaga’s prominence during the 2010’s turn of the decade.)

Cuz I don’t give a damn

Everything has been changing
Since last generation was born
And they won’t try to take in

But once you restitch your heart
You’ll be just fine
Now it’s you’re life
You’ll say “It’s all mine!

Let your heart just speak
When a drifter says some shit

@@raeishimura It's honestly amusing to me that people still say gay as an unironic insult lmao. Gay and proud baby, gay and proud.
I don't think I've ever heard a song that is this beautifully, unabashedly cringe, and fights cringe culture at the same time. You've managed to create a song that, from a critical perspective nearly every lyric could be considered naïve, idealistic, childish, edgy, immature, "cringe"... And yet together they send a message that says none of that matters. Because we _should_ be celebrating "cringe". We should be celebrating the dumb things we put online. As the song says, we've all made mistakes, especially online, but we should be celebrating those mistakes and what we've learned from them, how we grew, because those mistakes are _childhoods_ being formed online.
And sure, there's some cynical people out there who are going to take offense or find it problematic the notion of kids growing up online, but hey, it's a fact of life that kids now are growing up online. Ever since the previous generation, everything's been changing! Don't let the cynicism control that, because as many horrible things exist online, there's so many more wonderful things. The internet has served as so many things to so many people, from a convenience, to a mode of escapism, to a part of peoples' identity that is completely inseparable from them. You don't need validation from someone else to justify your relation with the internet, and the relationships you've made on it.
So yeah, go ahead and be "cringe". It's your life, no one else's.

Are you a preteen who's going through their "edgy phase" and hasn't figured out how to communicate concepts yet? Your comment is really weirdly structured, like you're a kid trying to copycat the structure of memes you saw on the internet.
I'm not part of the mlp fandom, and I've had a lot of acceptance issues. At my age, a lot of people like to be assholes. And it took a lot for me to look past that. Even now, i struggle to go on with my self-confidence. But hell if finding people I can talk and relate to hasn't helped. So, whatever it is that people have to say, it doesn't matter, because if you can find validity within yourself, then you have nothing to worry about. Just find your solidarity.

This song represents everything i was bullied for in middle school... By a teacher
If I ever see her again I'm gonna play this song at full blast until she fucking cries
The live-action footage and text quotes here and there really tie this all together and elevate this from "affectionate love letter to a bygone era" to "deeply personal and emotional masterwork tackling nostalgia and memory itself". I am perhaps getting a Bit misty-eyed.
Vylet seems to kinda dominate that niche
Ok so I found this outta nowhere and im not really into mlp, but I will whole heartedly admit this sounds better than literally 90% of the music on the radio.
Yea, indeed it does
IM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
thank you very much for letting me be part of this!!¡¡¡¡¡
Like always, ur work is such amazing
YOURE AMAZING 🥺🥺🥺 i can’t wait for everyone to see your piece !! fgdhsj
i'm not really one to comment on songs (and you probably won't see this, but hello whoever's reading!) but honestly listening to this song has been helping me heal over everything i've gone through recently. i've lost my boyfriend as well as a large friend group over a rumor (not even about me, fyi) and even months later, it's still tearing me up inside.
everything's felt so monochrome and i've been unable to enjoy things like i did before, even just straight up avoiding some things because they have bad ties to the past, but every time i listen to this song (especially on repeat), i'm reminded that things will get better. definitely not soon, especially when you've been completely shattered, but people, and your interests will slowly numb the pain. the wound will scar, and it'll still be a harsh reminder of what happened, but you've gotten through hardships before, and no matter how wounded you become, you will heal from it and continue on, even if it's a painstaking crawl at first, or even hardly any movement at all. no matter how small the progress is, even miniscule, it's still progress towards a better future,, and,,,,,, wow, i didn't expect to ramble like this, hehe. but uhm..
you will heal. eventually. and that's what keeps me going no matter how many times i've been shattered and absolutely destroyed, even if i don't always see the point of even continuing. i'm always scared about forming connections because it always seems like something goes wrong, but i have to remind myself that a bad outcome is never guaranteed in the relationships i form. and even if anxiety plagues me every day over people leaving me, i have to remind myself that the real ones will stay, even if they are incredibly few and far between.
it may not always be a comforting reminder, but it is a reminder nonetheless. you'll find your people, you will find people who genuinely care about you. i know it's super cliché to hear, and you're probably gagging at the screen reading this right now (lol), but it's true. alongside helping me heal with people problems, this has also helped me to slowly accept my more "cringe" ideas and interests, because i've rid myself of fun for FAR too long now, and i really need to loosen up and just.... love life. if we truly only have one life, why should we care so much about what other people think, right?
i know anxiety can't just be wisped away with a simple "fuck everyone else", but the more you remind yourself you deserve to be happy too, the more you can.. relax and be yourself. even if "yourself" is seen as "cringe" by a majority of people. we've been suffocated far too long growing up, told to quiet down or to stop something, and we need to unlearn that and just... be.. happy.
...sorry for that if you read through it all, LOL. but if you did manage to read through all this bleeding heart word vomit mess, please take what i say to heart. you will be okay. maybe not as soon as you wish, but wounds will heal, eventually. and revel in your interests and hobbies. be "cringe", be free. you deserve it.
trust me, you've got this.
Omg I'm so sorry that all of this happened to you! Ik it's hard to go through all this and I'm hoping for the best for u. Ur probably a really good person in irl! U deserve way better! ❤
this is really corny and I'll keep my comment brief but I'm so glad I found this. I was just freaking out for a long time and decided to listen to music. got to this one while subconsciously looking for extra stimulus and scrolled to the comments sorted by new. I've snapped out of the echo chamber my head was in because of these words and realizing that my life isn't over just because the past is. I'm sorry for all that you've gone through and that you're going through but I hope you never forget the words you've written, that you will heal ❤ and I'm really hoping you found people who are there for you, and if you haven't, I'm thinking real hard that you will find them and putting that magical energy into this message 😎
I know that last bit sounded cringe but why not lol, added sunglasses emoji for extra cheesiness even
@@FluffyFaven i've only just now seen this, but i'm glad i was able to help you out of your rut of depression even a lil bit with my ramblings, hehe
i've found just a handful of people who have been helping me heal, and although i'm still terrified every single day they'll just up and leave, i'm doing my best to ignore the more negative thoughts and learn to just be happy and in the moment. it's not always comforting to put such thoughts on the backburner, but... sometimes it's necessary in order to heal, yknow?
i've been working on something for a little while now, and it's been giving me something to do to help my mind off of the more harsh and scary thoughts that usually come with the deadly duo of anxiety and depression, and.... even though i'm nowhere near where i wanna be, i AM getting better by all means. it's like i said in the OG comment, the scar will be a harsh, ugly reminder of what you've gone through, but you will always keep trekking forward towards a better future, even if you gotta fake it till you make it, and even if it's false hope, it is still hope that things will get better... and i find that really really special, honestly..
@@zer0_ne0 I'm happy that you've found those people and you're healing, even if it's taking time ❤ I am also glad that you're able to work on whatever it is you are and I hope
you're able to enjoy whatever activities you're up to. I wish I could fill my comment with as many profound words as you have, but I feel like you've summarized everything I would say to you as well, and I am currently a little tired at the moment, haha . genuinely thank you for putting out the good vibes though, and I'll definitely try my best to do the same
Don't mind me, I'm just listening to this for probably the twentieth time. Manifesting this kind of "don't care you think it's cringe" energy for myself this decade.
i haven't been part of the fandom for many years now, but i was revisiting some old mlp songs the other day out of nostalgia and this popped up in the related videos. i clicked it out of curiosity and just upon seeing the old windows movie maker default intro i knew i was in for something special, and boy was i right. this video really scratches that old sense of nostalgia of all the dumb shit i did and liked then, while simultaneously putting a positive message about embracing all of that stuff and what it has turned me into today. i am thankful for having been part of the fandom, it really did mean a lot to me in discovering who i am. i'm sure you won't read this, but i just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart: thank you for this wonderful music video.
i read it and im happy that it's been a positive thing for you :3
This legit gave me tear filled feels :_) while its a great love letter to late 2000's internet, its message of letting everyone enjoy what makes them happy is a life philosophy I've held for over a decade and while I never got into MLP or Bronys, from its start I found a deep respect for them being so openly proud of something others would gladly ridicule and that respect helped me out a lot when I was still figuring out the world and my tiny place in it ^_^
Yes nice
And just so you know, Bronies welcome anyone :) (with the exception of freaks)
Becoming Brony is pretty simple, just watch the show :) (of course only if you want to, but I think you should)
@@SunIsLost I kinda wanna watch MLP but I don't have any streaming services; only cable. Do you know a place where I can watch whole episodes on RUclips?
@@FutureJB not as cringe as you are my dude. Look in a mirror and weep at the unbeatable amount of cringe you'll see
This is so good. I'm finding it hard to describe precisely how much I love this song and video haha
man, i haven't watched MLP in like 8 years but this song makes me want to try watching it again to see if i still like it. Im very happy that siivagunner rip introduced me to this banger of a song.
Good to know I wasn't the only one who found this through that rip.
I’ve fallen from one rabbit hole to another
I hope you watched MLP again, cuz i did and its still and amazing cartoon
I don't identify with /everything/ in this video but I can never, ever, not even once get through it without bursting into tears. It really takes me back to a better time and helps me bask in the fun and the love I've gotten to experience on the internet. It might be really different now but I'll always have these memories and some of the best friends I've ever made. I hope I'll be able to listen to it in the future during a time when the internet feels like a big, new, bright adventure every single day again.
thank you for making this.
i still don't understand why everyone is "tearing up" over this. Is there like something that happened to the creater or something, it's just a good song lol
@@FutureJB literally everything is still less cringe than you though
@@arjunbaweja7755 because it's nostalgic. I don't think we'll ever get those times back...
thank you for asking me to be a part of this Trixie!!!!!! This radiates so much love I’m so endlessly proud of you 💗
EDEN UR ONE OF THE BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS IN THE WORLD THANK U FOR BEING APART OF THIS UR FUCKING AMAZING
@@VyletPony I usually don't do this, but "a part". "Apart" means literally the exact opposite, it means something is separate.
Me at the start of the song: "This is charming."
Me by the end of the song: *HEAD BOB INTENSIFIES!*
oops. im crying/gen
younger me wouldve needed this song but its never too late and im so thankful to vylet for making this
I’m dumb what does /gen mean
@apple cider Oh, I always thought gen meant generic (also pretty sure it means zero explicit content in AO3 tags)
@@catsboxesyt genuine
omg, this literally made me shed tears of nostalgia and remember how happy I was to be able to express myself however I wanted on the internet after a day of bullying at school. This song touched a very joyful season of my life, 2010-2015 were my most precious years, I discovered so many things and without a doubt I understood all the references of the video. Maybe a person who was born between 2000-2004 can understand all this if he stayed in front of the screen from an early age. Now I love this song with all my soul, it is my second favorite of the ones you have done, I admire your work, you have inspired me as you have always done with your songs. Go ahead Vylet, I want to continue satisfying my ears with your melodies; and to all the artists who collaborated for this work I wish you the same, go ahead satisfying the human eye with your beautiful works **Brohoof**
and sorry 4 my bad english!!1!!1 o_0 xDD
"There’s so many things in the world and online to fall in love with and to find happiness in"
YES so very well said!! A song about all the things you can be passionate in and all those potential sources of happiness, and being proud of being passionate in those things and being yourself? Yes please!! Definitely a part of the brony spirit, and I'm loving this song's message and the video a lot. I can definitely see that it was a passion project! :D I appreciate that collaboration and all those awesome callbacks, and the surge of much needed positivity. This is honestly refreshing and I'm glad you're spreading those messages that I very much agree with.
Also, yeah, still cleaning up the viruses... it's pretty damn hard tho :'c
That board with "OMG I love everyone" written on it... So wholesome!! And it reminds me of my feelings ^.^ If more people were feeling like that, and were feeling actual love for others... the world would be a much better place. Well, I'm still working on spreading those messages of love everyday. And I'm glad you did with this song :)
Definitely a lot of effort has been put into this and I'm proud of you for what you've done and how you've overcome those demons from the past to now make songs with strong messages such as these. Awesome work on both the song and the video!
Now let's indulge in ALL of our passions and internet hobbies like Fluttershy!! :D
Not a fan of MLP, but I legit love this. Love the callbacks to Porter Robinson and the complete sincerity.
“Don’t kill the part of you that is cringe,
Kill the part that cringes”

Yes
3:03 is probably my favorite bit. Something about when a song drops nearly all backing and is only vocals for a short period I just adore
This transported me back to my dumb little ask blog on Tumblr, drawing my silly little horses, staying up late to catch the nightly round up on eqd, and going to Seattle every month for efnw staff meetings, the Skype ring absolutely sent me back 10 years jfc how has it been this long haha
whats tht?

It's your music that I want to hear blasting at a pony convention, with everyone singing along
I was a little too young for this era, but this still gives me a weird nostalgia for something I never did.
Also fun fact, did you know that Nyah cat was a vocaloid song?
Saaaaaame
seeing something like this with HD Quality and high fps is wild
can't wait for this one, it's gonna be a great time remembering all the old internet nostalgia references/memes, and i've got the feeling that this song's gonna be a real banger!
I listened to this song like a year or two ago but it was like a sped up version on Spotify, but then J found it again and it was the original one and I just watched this for the first time and just realized that they actually used fluttershy’s “yay” and like I WANNA CRY OH MY GOD ABSVWBVEGqjbs this is the best song frrrr
This made me nostalgic of the early 2010s, great job. Now i miss school and lan parties. I am happy so many people came together for this, the artwork is awesome.
LETS LAN PARTY CS:SOURCE SOMEDAY
@@VyletPony HELL YEAH
This is one of the best and most important projects I've seen in a long time, I think. Not just within the pony fandom, but in general -- I'm putting this up there with my favorite works by my favorite artists of all time. By making something unapologetically you, you've reminded us all of the value of being ourselves, and that "cringe" is often just an unimaginative person's reaction to someone else's fun.
Thank you.
(Also, it was a heck of a lot of fun to go through and catch the easter eggs in here, and also to read all the very important little messages scattered around. Such a feel-good piece of art.)
