Enrique Bedlam Two band kids at my school got in trouble for having sex in the back of a parked bus...in the middle of the parking lot. Band kids go hard everywhere.
When was that? If people weren’t on stage they were doing homework, practicing lines, listening for cues...sometimes us techies managed a board game...but there were only three of us!
I love that it’s based on Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl! It’s so make sense! You know it’s so funny, because ever since Breakfast Club, we all perpetuated stereotypes of cliques and niches in high schools in all the teen dramas and movies so much so that it’s embedded into American culture. We had songs about the white popular privileged people, and tv shows like Smallville, Gilmore Girls, we are brainwashed about it being a hierarchy. It’s funny how now, 12 years later, there’s a song that’s about how not being popular truly is….it’s so profound to high school kids now lol.
Its nice that they dropped the whole "Whatshisname" schtick of George, and transitioned him to have more backbone (camping, ska, etc), and basically became Nathaniel's best friend
This is so real though. Go through hell from puberty until college graduation and by the time you go to your high school reunions you are the coolest, most well adjusted, successful person at the party. I LIVED this lmfao
Same for me. I was super nerdy and awkward in high school, and by the time I went to my 10-year reunion weirdly it seemed like I was one of the most happy and confident people there. My high school geek friends also had a great time. And the "popular" kids were the unsociable ones or the ones who didn't show up. Maybe it's because the uncool kids had more motivation for continuous self-improvement...
okashi10 “the unsociable ones *who didn’t show up*” not to rain on your self confidence (which seems to unfortunately be tied to people you didn’t like being unhappy?) but them not showing up doesn’t make them unsociable, I’m sure a lot of them just have more interesting lives now and don’t feel particularly attached to the high school they went to a decade ago?
@@merrybright5732 yeah these losers just sound like they are over compensating and treating high school reunion to show off when it's supposed to just be RENUION. *Vomits
I learned through high school musical as a kid, and now I’m here in the US and boy did they freaking lie...of course i knew it wasn’t gonna be exactly like hsm but damn is high school here way off
@@bgeese1918 they really amp up the stereotypes in movies and tv shows. Yeah, high schools have bully’s, jocks, band kids, cheerleaders, and outcasts, but the real thing is disappointing and damaging.
Kiapet 2 well there's your problem. I was in orchestra too. It's a well known fact that the hyper-sexuality of band doesn't extend to the strings (except those in jazz band I guess), sorry:/
I was popular and I didn’t grow emotionally until my 20s. I wish I did better in high school, but here I am the only one in my old friend group getting a masters🎉
Unpopular NT/Abled kids: we're all so awkward with our visible flaws and quirky interests beyond sports and mainstream pop culture Autistic/anxious/traumatized/disabled kids: like this? Unpopular NT/Abled kids: no not like that
My exact thought was that the arty goth group is probably gay (and that they’re SUPER CUTE). My source is I’m an arty goth who’s gay, and I’m not even in high school anymore.
I graduated high school last year and my best friends were in every one of them "uncool" groups that were mentioned. I freaking love this song it's so true to life. Wait they forgot one group my fellow speech & debate kids we were dope af.
The people who insist school days are the best days of your life tend to be the ones who were popular at school but didn't do much else afterwards apart from living off that popularity, just like Josh. That's not to say all popular kids at school do this obviously. Personally speaking I had some great and not-so-great times at school, which in hindsight is probably a good reflection of what real life is like in general.
I was one of the neurodivergent kids in secondary school (I’ve Autism and ADHD). I also didn’t do many extracurricular activities, but I still graduated with many friends (including but not limited to special needs assistants), and I guess moderately popular, despite never really feeling it. Also, I really feel like the band couple in this music video should have been a shoe-in for cutest couple in the yearbook.
NDs unite!! I wasn't popular but I had a friend who was kinda popular so I was known as B's friend. Senior year she got transferred and I became the poetry girl and while my yearbook has many signatures my name is misspelled several times 😭 college was a bit of an improvement I guess
This was one of the best songs this season hahaha. Excellent song moment, great musical style choice, loved the way they made George more of a rounded character here and Josh's growth.
i wasnt popular but i also still had no clue about anything anyone was doing in highschool lmao. i got purposely left out of the loop because everyone knew i was sheltered and figured id freak out or something.
@@kiwifit620 Now, for the powers given to me by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and in the name of Danny Jolles, I officially nominate you "Popular Kid". Raise and shine, Sir/Lady/Whatever, and feel proud of this new identity.
Tbh this is what I thought being a nerd in high school would be? It turns out that IRL, even if you're a nerd, you still have to intuitively know social cues/not be autistic, and not have social anxiety disorder
Great song it reminds me of how I was so miserable and unpopular in school but then when I became an adult I became even more miserable and my suffering in school has not benefitted me in any conceivable way. #relatable
THE SEXUALLY ACTIVE BAND KID IS SUCH A TRUE STEREOTYPE OH MY GOD
@@cantwebe17 gasp *a mean girls fan*

SAAAAAAY WHERE DO YOU BELOONG WHERE DO YOU BELOOOONG
Two words: “Embouchure” and “Ew”.
And that's what you missed out on *glee*
this charming woman if the songs on glee are as good as these then I gotta watch ASAP lol
Versatile Lord they’re not
thank you for this
Z Botello yes they are
Except that Crazy Ex Girlfriend is a damn good show.
And Glee is... Well, it's Glee.
AIN'T NO HOLLA BACK GEORGE
Roy Thingamajig yaaaaaaaao
Same vibe. xD
Is that what this song reminds me of???
@@kittyunderwood8918 yeah its a parody
@@juliacastro8505 I mean. Yeah. All the songs from this show are. But Idk what they're all a parody of sooo that's why I asked.
I love that the popular kid whose parents got divorced gets included in the massage circle 👍
Same.
Your comment just improved my quality of watching so much
obviously written by a theater kid. only theater kids have massage circles
Choir kids did too!
I had them in color guard! (the marching band one not the ROTC one)
Outdoor club!
When was that? If people weren’t on stage they were doing homework, practicing lines, listening for cues...sometimes us techies managed a board game...but there were only three of us!
I learned massage in choir and have gotten much much better over the years
George! wasn't ignored! George! wasn't interrupted!
Who?

Gonna be honest, this is made so much better coming from a 'Nat'!
@@natl5692 Gerry
George received attention ! George is free !
@@gracegaskell8068 why?
Wait, you're telling me that teenagers uncovering an embezzlement scandal isn't the coolest thing ever ?
Band kid skankiness is way more fun, though.
Not for their fellow teens. For them it's super lame and boring.
"They reported on a local embezzlement scandal until the principal made them stop"
Underrated line.
"We were wearing black flip flops" 😂😂😂
It was Calofornia after all
true for Texas too
Can confirm
High school in Florida be like
@@johanvajse8410 facts, I had black flip flops 😹😹
It's so nice of George to accept Zack's apology.

Wow George finally got to do a full song! Yet White Josh still hasn't had his own song yet...
Also justice for mrs Hernandez, she deserves her own song & she would sing it while she does parkour
Was looking for this comment!
White Josh may have the looks but George has the everything else.
Lindsay Gravina YOU DARE.
At this point, I'm guessing that the actor doesn't wish to sing
I was so distracted during this whole part because I was still having a mental breakdown over the Valencia x Father Brah stuff omg
This comment is old but that was the best thing ever. Super unexpected.
Everyone at my school knew the band kids were all constantly hooking up 😂 good to know it’s universal
omg I had the same thought when I watched this - I thought it was just my HS!
To quote Mean Girls, "Sexually active band geeks".
"This one time, at band camp..."
I think this is only a thing in America 😂😂
@@kennyotoole1492 Nope musical/choir kids hooked up a lot in my high school too, which is in Denmark
This is so real though. Go through hell from puberty until college graduation and by the time you go to your high school reunions you are the coolest, most well adjusted, successful person at the party. I LIVED this lmfao
That's my hope. I graduated college in May and feel worse about everything.

The arty goth dance moves alone legitimize this avenue more than a Wicked or High School Musical parody could. Just LOOK at those two!
I had serious flashbacks to the video for Pro-Test by Skinny Puppy when they were dancing.
bless this comment bc i saw this video like 30 times before catching this
The girl back up dancer in a grey top and is wearing glasses is giving me so much energy she’s making me want to dance along as well
On the news team? She's so great!!
I showed this to my brother who's in band and he recalled people getting caught banging in the instrument room on THREE DIFFRENT OCCASIONS IN ONE YEAR
I really appreciated Josh’s growth and character arch in the last season
Wow I'm learning American school culture in one song.
Cool

As a music kid I missed out on all the banging that was apparently going on
Same but I played trombone so it's understandable.
@@WolffStaedtler Ha, I was actually an orchestra kid so I might have been a bit too nerdy myself!

The band room couch at my HS was actually acknowledged by the band director as being disgusting and cum soaked, so
I was popular and I didn’t grow emotionally until my 20s. I wish I did better in high school, but here I am the only one in my old friend group getting a masters🎉
Good on you!
I had totally forgotten about massage circles until this song.
Wait, this were real? I thought it was just a joke in the song xD high school in Portugal is quite different, I guess hahahaha
@@TheSOpRecorder Same here in Brazil. I really could use a massage circle back in high school
They're a thing in Australia too
I’ve never heard of a message circle. I thought it was just a joke. I didn’t know people really did that. lol
Yes theater kids and massage circles was a thing... after high school the next time I got massaged was in my 30s.
I am living for danny's dance moves
S 2 right?! I wanna see him dance all the time 😂😂
You missed an awesome show called Crazy Ex Girlfriend while you were popular!
I'm proud of Zack's growth and healing journey honestly
tfw you aren’t popular but are also missing all this because you don’t have friends
Huh,samw
I have friends, I definitely have friends!
At least you are already experiencing depression and anxiety attacks so when we are in our midlife crisis it will be just another normal year.
Unpopular NT/Abled kids: we're all so awkward with our visible flaws and quirky interests beyond sports and mainstream pop culture
Autistic/anxious/traumatized/disabled kids: like this?
Unpopular NT/Abled kids: no not like that
Everytime I hear this song all I can hear is Hollaback Girl 😭😭
How did I not realize this is basically Hollaback Girl, lol?
Thank you!!! I was wondering why this sounded familiar...
thank you!! I came here searching for a comment about what song this is based on xD
the video and the dancing is also the same
I gotta admit, I thought it was gonna be a Wicked parody.
Agreed.
Me too.
Same, I'm dissapointed
Same!
I accidentally listened to Hollaback girl of Gwen Stefani, wow, this is definitely the reference. I love discovering what song they are inspired from
0:23 As a robotics kid in HS, that looks like an ACTUAL VEX robot. . . Like scarily so, did these guys get an actual robot?!!!
The goth girl with the mohawk 😍😍😍😍
The two goth girls seem kinda gay for each other and I’m here for it
My exact thought was that the arty goth group is probably gay (and that they’re SUPER CUTE). My source is I’m an arty goth who’s gay, and I’m not even in high school anymore.

I graduated high school last year and my best friends were in every one of them "uncool" groups that were mentioned. I freaking love this song it's so true to life. Wait they forgot one group my fellow speech & debate kids we were dope af.
Some of my friends call me a "debate team reject" and i don't know why, what's it like in the debate team??? I need to know-
We made substantive arguments while you were popular, and did points of information while you were popular!
I wasn’t even popular in high school and I missed out on all of these things. Well, except for shame, misery, etc.
Damn those goths have some serious dance moves...

Love that the goths are really unenthusiastically dancing with the others and then fucking let it rip in their spotlight dance together 😂
I like that this is both a genuinely helpful lesson on learning emotional literacy in youth vs adulthood, and an absolute BOP.

omg this was freaking the sweetest and most precious thing ever and really brought me back.
bless the geeks, nerds, and dorks of high school halls
they should do a parody/alternate version called "what you missed while you were homeschooled"
This is my second favourite crazy ex girlfriend song after 'don't be a lawyer'
This might be the best song/dance of the season! (Neck and neck with "Don't be a lawyer")
I truly had no idea massage circles were a universal thing. Thank you Crazy Ex Girlfriend, I feel normal!
I've gone from hating Josh to just feeling bad 😂
Man, where were these perks of being unpopular hidden?
This number was hilarious! I was laughing at Glenn's expressions through the whole thing.
It's Gene.
Omg his dance moves is the best thing I’ve ever seen!!!
I love George so much. 😂 I’m glad he got such a great song!

Guessing this is parodying hollaback girl?
What was Forget It by Rebecca's mom parodying then? Vogue by Madonna or some Beyonce song I don't know of?
Kaiico werer it also sounds like they had inspiration from Suga Boom Boom
It’s sign ‘o’ the times era prince, sounds a lot like housequake
It's a reference, not a parody.
Definitely one of my top 5 favorite songs off this show.
"we don't like sports and we don't care who knows!" XD
95 percent of high school students can relate to this. Thank you.
This is very true...for the popular people in band and other such nerdy hobbies lol. There was still social hierarchy just like anywhere else.
This is one of the best songs of Season 4.
Yeeeeeeeeessssss!!!! Finally Some Danny Jolles screentime!
The part where the goth girls are breakdancing is AWESOME
The massage circle reference is so on point.
This song gives me life :D
Forgot about this song. So good
Speaking as someone who wasn't one of the popular kids...this is very relatable.
I LOVE Danny Jolles!!
It’s amazing how I missed all these things while not even being popular
Tbh this is what I thought being a nerd in high school would be? It turns out that IRL, even if you're a nerd, you still have to intuitively know social cues/not be autistic, and not have social anxiety disorder
I love everything of this video, even George 's face expression when he look to dark girls😂
Josh looks extra cute in this
Man i love george wish we saw him more
Same!
He's fired again for that comment Rick.
I like that george still looks nerdy among the nerds :)
Well done George, someone finally noticed you
He was gettin’ it! Haha. THAT DANCE.
This is so catchy aaaggghh
Finally a second (and first real) song from him
this song is actually a bop
I feel like this song is for me. Was not popular in school, but got my unpopular team with me 😂
Damn, Jack’s got some moves
This is basically Where Do You Belong from Mean Girls 😂😂😂
OMG, yes
That beat is dope
This song is bananas.
The news team is impressive.
Oh my god, massage circles. I’d forgotten about the drama club massage circles.
I’m sad because I won’t have any highschool memories because my parents are overprotective.
GEORGE GETS A SONG!!!!
This is way too real 😂
Finally, Gene gets a song!!!!!
The popular kids were watched. We were trusted. We were given keys, and allowed alone in rooms.
Massage circles were a thing? ‘In her best Liz Lemon voice’ : what IS American high school?
As a European this is not relatable
But I love it anyway
I LOVE the hollaback girl vibes.
I full on expected this to be sung to the sound of High School Musicals "Popular"
Great song it reminds me of how I was so miserable and unpopular in school but then when I became an adult I became even more miserable and my suffering in school has not benefitted me in any conceivable way. #relatable
I do like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and think it gets a lot of things right, but this song is not one of them.
This song made ma day.! 😂
This is hollaback girl I KNOW IT
Yep. Rachel declared it a parody of Hollaback girl ^^
The speech and debate team also did some shocking things
