The It Doesn't Matter of classic sonic
Unlocked a core memory of hearing this in some Newgrounds flash animation from so long ago 🤯
Newgrounds is how I discovered this song as well.
If I was a Sonic fan when I was a little kid, this definitely feels like something I would've watched.
I was a Sonic fan as a child, but I had no idea this music video existed until 2023. My only knowledge of the song's existence prior to that was from flash movies in the 2000s.
This feels like from an alternate universe where video games as a concept started way later but the internet stayed the same
Oddly enough, this video did not originate as an internet video. It was a music video that was on a CD in 1996.
I can’t believe this was 1996. until today i thought this was made in 1993… but it’s actually only two years before sonic adventure
This would have been super impressive for 1993.
This the kind of shit they'd be playing at some birthday party you went to as a kid.
No lie, I had a Sonic themed party when I was 4 or 5 and there was this cd with Sonic music on it playing the whole time and I think this was on it 😭
This is what i imagine sonic would sound like if he was a regular hedgehog
I love stumbling upon obscure Sonic media, this is gonna be my new Sonic bop since Wonderman in 2018.
I can’t be the only one who looked this up specifically
A lot of people found this video through search.

Can we go back to when things were as epic as this?
1996 was a good year.
This makes me feel nostalgic for something I never grew up with.

May I introduce you to the term anemoia?
@bratwurstcat "Nostalgia for a time or a place one has never known." Interesting definition I found for anemoia. I never heard of that term before.
