You're so real for tearing the "It's just kids stuff" argument, we _should_ demand better for kids. Not only do they deserve it, there's also a key difference When an adult sees something bad or that they dislike, they can explain why. A kid literally hasn't developed the depth of vocabulary to express those thoughts.
I feel this way for a lot of current literature and film. I was maybe ten when I first saw _Howl’s Moving Castle_ and immediately I could tell it was a masterpiece of animation, far above most of what is released to the big screen nowadays. If I ever have children, I will read older literature to them and try to keep up a large enough media library that they might find entertaining and enriching.
@@gunier.j.kintgenanimations Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get all that through in practice. It’s easy for me to say I’ll try to do something in a certain way, based on the experiences of my own childhood, but that’s only because I’m still a young man, not even through with my studies. A lot will probably happen between now and when I am able to become a husband and father, and parenthood when done right tends to be rather exhausting, so my immediate priorities will likely change based on that. Hopefully, though, all the time I’ve spent planning my own future might mitigate some of that.
@@DiamondKingStudios Even still, because you have a plan on how you want to raise your kids, the mere fact that your actively putting thought into it, that makes you better than most parents of today & of the future. Why do you think Gen Alpha is the way it is? The parents put so little thought into how they'd raise their kids, they're practically making up their parenting methods completely, with no shred of a starting point. iPad babies are a thing because the parent didn't put any thought into the type of content their kid should be watching, nor how frequently they watch it. By planning ahead, you're already better than the vast majority of parents today, & should you do raise a kid, it'll grow up to be an adult, not a child.
@@gunier.j.kintgenanimations I think part of the Gen Alpha upbringing as you describe it may have come also from parents unable to agree on how to raise their children, or both parents’ jobs leaving them too exhausted to want to deal with their children. Guess that just means I’ll have to work hard in college to try to get a good job with reasonable hours, and to find a woman to marry with similar ideas of good parenting to mine. I’ve always thought of parents as the first and foremost teachers to their children, so I’ll try to make as much of an effort in teaching them to read early as my mother did, so they have a good way to spend their free time that isn’t on a screen. Better that they are able to imagine text on a page in their heads for themselves than for moving pictures to do that work for them. Creativity, when encouraged at an early age, will go a long way.

They did a cover of Chappell Roan’s Good Luck Babe and oh my god they kept it gay. They realized how bad they fucked up with Born This Way and backtracked. But damn these kids can’t sing
That same album has the worst cover of million dollar baby. It’s SO mixed horribly, the auto tune isn’t properly tuned so you hear these kids voice cracking like a robot every 5 seconds.
I think one of the big differences between Kidz Bop and _utaite_ artists (Japanese artists who only cover songs) is that they add variety to the song yet respect the original version.
Yes, and for me personally, it's because it feels less... Commercial? Utaite artists genuinely put their soul into the song, while in Kidz bop it feels more... Capitalized, just with the intention to make a quick buck. Utaite artists don't remove the essential thing that makes the song so good in the first place.
you suffered through the definition of insanity.. genuinely, im not a fan of mainstream (pop) music and I absoulutely despise cover songs as they (at least from my experience) dont feel like like "a tribute to the artist" and rather just corporate or uninspired most of the time (doesnt mean there arent any good ones) so having to sit through both COMBINED for multiple HOURS seems like a nightmare. You got my respect
@@SuperNuclearUnicorn might be, I probably have a few pop artist I enjoy but its not really my thing I do like hyperpop tho so that kinda counts, right?
@@MxNSTRNo offense, but saying you aren't into "mainstream pop" is kind of vague in 2024. If you like hyperpop I'm guessing you've probably listened to either 100 gecs or superorganism at some point, and I would say that those artists could definitely be considered mainstream pop at this point. There's an equally large distance between Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift's music (to name 2 examples of MANY) for that matter. That being said...

@@spare7230 I know 100gecs but I dont listen to their music Im not really sure what falls under pop music, heard that it stands for popular music but I have no idea if that even makes sense
@@SuperNuclearUnicorn, I'm not criticizing you or anything for liking pop, (because music conversation seems to get weirdly hostile at times for whatever reason) but boy do I hate a lot of modern pop. Primarily stuff like Taylor Swift. A ton of new pop does feel really corperate and ONLY made for the sake of tik tok views. Sure the music industry has always been corperate, but I miss the days where bands would just form from nothing, when everything wasn't mass produced. Sadly I did not grow up in those times but I kind of like to put myself in those shoes. I will also say I miss rock. The newest generation seems to disregard rock (from people I have talked to mostly) and I'm not sure why. It is the rawest and most uncut most of the time, but maybe thats just not how things are now. Anyway, I just thought this was a pretty interesting point of conversation.
i vividly remember getting into an argument in the 5th grade about the lyrics to “Tonight Tonight.” i had mostly ever heard the kidz bop version bc those are what my parents had bought for me. I never really thought to question it, as i never had any reason to think they were different. I thought kidz bop was just some cool songs some kids did. but anyways when i got home from that argument, i snuck into my dad’s office to get on youtube (i wasn’t allowed to) and suddenly a whole new world opened up for me 😂. my parents might have thought they were protecting me or whatever through kidz bop, but in the end it sparked a deep desire to sneak onto the internet and discover real music.
your school didn't have computers? There was a whole class dedicated to being on the computer at my elementary school where you could watch and listen to whatever you wanted, no censorship.
@@ayanamivmites3864 It might depend how long ago this was. In my elementary school there were hardly any computers in sight except for school offices. Teachers and kids did have phones, (idk why parents thought it was all fine and dandy to give their 9-year-olds the newest iPhone models of that year but whatever) but we didn’t start actually using iPads/laptops until middle-school, and even then the best I could get my hands on was a Chromebook. In no way am I complaining about this, I actually think it was for the best because having all my assignments online has been ruining my screen time management lately. I also have no idea why I chose to share my whole life story but here we are lol
Watching North American videos about something nostalgic for my generation while being south american it's always a 50/50 if I will relate or not. I have NEVER heard about this before
Same here. I'm in the UK and I've never heard of Kidz Bop until this video. But I'm 34, so maybe it's also a generational thing - I was listening to bands like System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Korn, ect, when Kidz Bop started in 2001 and I wasn't exactly the target demographic for their music.
@@enshen2190 🤣☠️✨ You know that’s a damn lie. I know the founders of KidzBop are in so much debt from all the money they’re still borrowing from the record label they asked to let them make these albums.
@@adamninezero Hi, back then even the American 🇺🇸 kids didn’t like KidzBop. Like people used to buy them just to laugh at how bad the sound production quality was. Like the albums would always sound like they were recorded in an echoey bathroom or tunnel.
12:54 tbh, the first time I heard party rock anthem it was on a kidz bop cd I’d play in my Xbox, I didn’t hear the original till I was 15. Also I hate to admit it, but I like the kidz bop version more😭
10:08 The thing I love about Fall Out Boy and Kidz Bop was how Pete wasn't vehemently against a shitty cover of one of his songs: no, he was concerned about literal children singing about the sexual overtones of "Dance, Dance". God, I love Fall Out Boy.
I remember listening to Kidz Bop when I was younger because it was age appropriate or whatever but then I got made fun of by some kids in my third grade class for listening to it. Thank god for those bullies man cause I found the original songs after that and I’ve been happy ever since.
You’re a baby, back in my day we listened to Kidz Bop all day uphill both ways in the rain, and we liked it!! Nah, fr, this video is actually super interesting, and well made, keep it up!
Holy shit, dude you are really good at making videos! Not only are the topics they discuss interesting, but the sound bites (shots where you're just talking) also look really good! 14:51 is my favorite example Seriously excited for what more you put out, keep it up man!
To prove that kidz bop is still around, my college dining hall just played a kidz bop version of _What Does The Fox Say_ on their overhead speaker system.
I think at some point Fall Out Boy asked kidz bop to specifically leave dance dance out of one of their collections, since the song’s about a teenager who really wants to get noticed by and sleep with a girl he saw at a school dance. Even if they scrubbed the handful of inappropriate things it’d probably still be too much for kids music 😅
Being suspended for using songs shouldn’t be a thing but all money should go to the original channel so you can do things like this and both parties win.
this alone earns you a subscribe from me because holy mother of god. that’s some incredible dedication even if you dragged yourself by your bloody fingernails, because this was not a trial anybody has to or wants to face. like, what a service. and, your message of “think about things before buying your kids thing” is definitely going to stick with me for the rest of my life, no matter how simple and obvious. it’s like the lunchly of music when you could have a real home prepared sandwich of frank sinatra, a side of chips of sublime, some broccoli of queen with ranch of david bowie, with a dessert of outkast, all in a toby fox lunch box.
A lot of the lyric changes either aren't grammatically correct or fail to make the songs any less inappropriate, I don't get how they continue to get away with this
I have also heard Fisher-Price Little People kids albums too and they are just the same. But one track they do is Zip-De-Doo-Dah which is sung by two very white skinned 5 year old girls. This is pure goodness in so many ways and I have played it on overnight long bus trips.
My parents are older, so the radio stations I grew up on were always 70’s and 80’s. For me, Kidz Bop WAS the first exposure I had to a lot of 2010’s top charting pop songs. Even as an adult - my first recollections hearing songs like “Til the world ends” and even “Born this way” as a kid WERE THE KIDZ BOP VERSIONS. And As a kid I did love kidz bop, My first album was 16 and I stopped listening at 29 When I hit middle school and started comparingthe orginals to the covers more closely/ just aging out in general. (And honestly thier singers got reaaaally bad). As A fan I didn’t see why they were a joke of a musical brand until then.
12:33 when i was a kid i hadnt heard the original version of any of the songs they covered. i do think the idea of creating kid friendly versions of songs that are popular is a good one, while i agree with several points in your video, a flaw in it is that you underestimated how much the music that children listen to is influenced by their parents
in their cover of sabrina carpenter's Espresso, they left in "switch it up like nintendo", which is a sex joke of switching positions in bed when you understand the lyrics 😂😂😂
11:08 yes I was listening to the good time cover ironically. they changed Prince to paints song, but one line later they kept in. down to get down tonight
Yikes, I genuinely agree with your points but as someone who grew up with the 4th era of Kidz Bop (I stopped listening to them in late 2019 - early 2020), I feel a little bit conflicted because I genuinely liked some of the songs they were covering back then, and the kid singers actually did have some talent in them, until I started to notice that their newer songs felt too synchronised and just felt too corporate sounding. Look, I was like 12, 13, 14 or something but I did enjoy the music as an innocent young kid, though I was already aware of curse words but I didn't really mind anyway. Anyways, I'm just glad I don't follow or listen to the new kidz bop anymore. The generation that I grew up with are already late adolescent or young adults, and some of them are actually doing okay, I follow some of them on Instagram and they're just busy living their regular lives like I am. It's only now that I truly realized how scummy their practices are, but man... I personally look back fondly of the generation I grew up with. I really vibed with some of the songs they released on their channel, my personal favourites are their covers of Havana, Crying in the club, How Long & Friends (the one by justin bieber), most of them are from the 36 album and I still sometimes listen to their old songs to satisfy my late 2010s nostalgia. Ever since the 2020, I stopped listening to them and boy am I so thankful. The slop they've releasing made me disgusted. I genuinely hope this company eventually stops. It makes me ashamed of myself for listening to their music. I just hope people don't make fun of me for growing up and enjoying some of their older songs... but I hope even more that this company burns to the ground.
I owned 9 and 12 as a kid and honestly, I think they gotten played through only a few times? I already was raised on actual music so hearing kids completely butcher favorites like Girlfriend to even a really personal Green Day song to the lead singer which I'm still shocked they did, to even Photograph by Nickelback lol, felt wrong?? I geniunely would've rather my Disney CDs or my moms own CD collection over it lol.
When returning from Melbourne to Adelaide on the Ovetland train in May 2023, what song was playing through headphones when I crossed the State border from VIC to SA? It was Running Up That Hill by Kidz Bop Kids. How amazing is that?
Exactly, I actually liked their cover of Sweet Dreams-Beyoncé because they actually chose kids that could actually sing that year. It was on KidzBop2010 edition. The other albums before and after were ass tho.
Okay, but pumped up kids and safe and sound WAS my childhood and it makes me snicker when people talk about bad overplayed songs, when my childhood truly was Coldplay, Miike Snow, and Foster the People lmao Ooh and glass animals ;>
Here’s the thing, if you have kids then you need to decide what’s important for you on when they’re exposed to things. Most kids don’t get the lyrics to songs, and those who can even sing along don’t know what they mean. Do you think 7 year old me understood Eminem’s Without me? No I just sang the parts I could sing, and enjoyed it for sounding funny.
Kidz Bop is no joke. I used to work at a McDonald's close to a stadium. The Kidz Bop tour came over one year. When it ended, our location ran out of Happy Meals with all the kids that came pouring in.

this alone earns you a subscribe from me because holy mother of god. that’s some incredible dedication even if you dragged yourself by your bloody fingernails, because this was not a trial anybody has to or wants to face. like, what a service. and, your message of “think about things before buying your kids thing” is definitely going to stick with me for the rest of my life, no matter how simple and obvious. it’s like the lunchly of music when you could have a real home prepared sandwich of frank sinatra, a side of chips of sublime, some broccoli of queen with ranch of david bowie, with a dessert of outkast, all in a toby fox lunch box.
soon there's gonna be 75 albums they JUST announced Kidz Bop 50...
hope your ears recovers from this tragic event 🕊
they've still not even reached half of the number of tracks Frank Zappa has released
A lot of the lyric changes either aren't grammatically correct or fail to make the songs any less inappropriate, I don't get how they continue to get away with this
jacksfilms wouldbe proud
Even My music gets covered all the time 🙄
MOZART 😱
subjecting yourself to hellish trauma for interent clicks, i have nothing but respect for you sir
I have also heard Fisher-Price Little People kids albums too and they are just the same. But one track they do is Zip-De-Doo-Dah which is sung by two very white skinned 5 year old girls. This is pure goodness in so many ways and I have played it on overnight long bus trips.
I’m watching this out of pure respect for this monumental task
im so sorry for your spotify wrap
My parents are older, so the radio stations I grew up on were always 70’s and 80’s. For me, Kidz Bop WAS the first exposure I had to a lot of 2010’s top charting pop songs. Even as an adult - my first
recollections hearing songs like “Til the world ends” and even “Born this way” as a kid WERE THE KIDZ BOP VERSIONS.
And As a kid I did love kidz bop, My first album was 16 and I stopped listening at 29 When I hit middle school and started comparingthe orginals to the covers more closely/ just aging out in general. (And honestly thier singers got reaaaally bad). As A fan I didn’t see why they were a joke of a musical brand until then.
Someone should do a listening to all of kidz bop in one sitting
I can't endorse this, but I would love to see it done.
Calm down satan
That is A) humanily impossible and B) I have no doubt it would make the person go berserk ending up in a very bad spot in life.
At this point, im auditioning to be a kids bop kid to sing the actual version and curse at the same time.
12:33 when i was a kid i hadnt heard the original version of any of the songs they covered. i do think the idea of creating kid friendly versions of songs that are popular is a good one, while i agree with several points in your video, a flaw in it is that you underestimated how much the music that children listen to is influenced by their parents
They made hot to go about pizza. 💀
Is it originally about s&x?
Can't wait to see you in kidz bop quiz 4
in their cover of sabrina carpenter's Espresso, they left in "switch it up like nintendo", which is a sex joke of switching positions in bed when you understand the lyrics 😂😂😂
Sabrina is trying to rip off Madonna 💀, atleast they haven’t covered “like a prayer” or “justify my love” yet 💀
26:29 is that popcorn from inanimate insanity
LMAOOO ITS THE CORN MAN????
Love the Summoning Salt music
22:59 wait so you’re telling me that Jennette McCurdy (the person he plays Sam in iCarly) got famous from kidz bop- 😭😭💀
18:08 that literally sounds like an AI generated song☠️
bro what
@RadeonVega64 it kinda does ☠️
19:41 I just have to mention the Ween song. "Among His Tribe" is one of my favorites off of Quebec
11:08 yes I was listening to the good time cover ironically. they changed Prince to paints song, but one line later they kept in. down to get down tonight
I applaud your mental fortitude to endure that kind of hell.Just hope you dont end up in a mental asylum from the side effects
19:22 4 spotted, amazing transition song choice !!
22:18 “She’s laughing up at us as well” tf 😭
The KB Thrift Shop is peak
Fun fact about the label that kids bop is under released a metal album for a band called 40 below summer the album is called the mourning after
W pfp. And 40 below is amazing
I hope kidz bop makes a cover on an ice spice song like; think you the poop girl? You’re not even the fart😜
Yikes, I genuinely agree with your points but as someone who grew up with the 4th era of Kidz Bop (I stopped listening to them in late 2019 - early 2020), I feel a little bit conflicted because I genuinely liked some of the songs they were covering back then, and the kid singers actually did have some talent in them, until I started to notice that their newer songs felt too synchronised and just felt too corporate sounding.
Look, I was like 12, 13, 14 or something but I did enjoy the music as an innocent young kid, though I was already aware of curse words but I didn't really mind anyway.
Anyways, I'm just glad I don't follow or listen to the new kidz bop anymore. The generation that I grew up with are already late adolescent or young adults, and some of them are actually doing okay, I follow some of them on Instagram and they're just busy living their regular lives like I am.
It's only now that I truly realized how scummy their practices are, but man... I personally look back fondly of the generation I grew up with.
I really vibed with some of the songs they released on their channel, my personal favourites are their covers of Havana, Crying in the club, How Long & Friends (the one by justin bieber), most of them are from the 36 album and I still sometimes listen to their old songs to satisfy my late 2010s nostalgia.
Ever since the 2020, I stopped listening to them and boy am I so thankful. The slop they've releasing made me disgusted. I genuinely hope this company eventually stops. It makes me ashamed of myself for listening to their music.
I just hope people don't make fun of me for growing up and enjoying some of their older songs... but I hope even more that this company burns to the ground.
I’m in 7th grade and our school played Uptown Funk BY FUCKING KIDZ BOP WE ARE IN 7TH GRADE DUDE!
😭
Dude, enjoy it, trust me. 😭
8:58 best radiohead song
You did it! Told you the video would go viral :)
Now you need to go to a Kidz Bop concert
I owned 9 and 12 as a kid and honestly, I think they gotten played through only a few times? I already was raised on actual music so hearing kids completely butcher favorites like Girlfriend to even a really personal Green Day song to the lead singer which I'm still shocked they did, to even Photograph by Nickelback lol, felt wrong?? I geniunely would've rather my Disney CDs or my moms own CD collection over it lol.
Videos like this are the reason I'm opening RUclips. That was interesting, entertaining and personal.
Thanks for your suffering, I guess 😅
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if one day we find out that Kidz Bop was a money laundering front the whole time
5:40 whats really nostalgic is hearing the 3ds homescreen theme here
Coalescence by Chris Christodoulou?!?!⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣
I take precautions to make sure that I’m okay 🗣️🔥
I honestly thought kidz bop died a long time ago. ;-;
Just listen to the artist clean version if you don’t want your kid listening to the explicit version
Why didnt you try streaming it on twitch? They just mute the vod instead of suspending the stream
Object show people! Corn person used... steve cobs
you look like dream if he was handsome
Legends only remember Mini-pop kids
They kept the lyrics in born this way!!! My respect for Mini Pop Kids: 📈📈📈
When returning from Melbourne to Adelaide on the Ovetland train in May 2023, what song was playing through headphones when I crossed the State border from VIC to SA? It was Running Up That Hill by Kidz Bop Kids. How amazing is that?
What if kidz bop was the friends we made along the way
Exactly, I actually liked their cover of
Sweet Dreams-Beyoncé because they actually chose kids that could actually sing that year.
It was on KidzBop2010 edition.
The other albums before and after were ass tho.
dawg i tried to quickly scroll to the bottom of their albums and Spotify froze 💀
I feel like your Spotify wrapped is going to be even worse than mine.
If I can even say that.
bros spotify wrapped is gonna be cursed
Okay, but pumped up kids and safe and sound WAS my childhood and it makes me snicker when people talk about bad overplayed songs, when my childhood truly was Coldplay, Miike Snow, and Foster the People lmao
Ooh and glass animals ;>
26:29 IS THIS STEVE COBS??
No seriously i HATE kidz bop
The caretaker playing in the end segment was such a fitting choice lol
Kidz pop made young me depressed because I loved the original songs and not 53 kids singing in a gym
Here’s the thing, if you have kids then you need to decide what’s important for you on when they’re exposed to things. Most kids don’t get the lyrics to songs, and those who can even sing along don’t know what they mean. Do you think 7 year old me understood Eminem’s Without me? No I just sang the parts I could sing, and enjoyed it for sounding funny.
Kidz Bop is no joke. I used to work at a McDonald's close to a stadium. The Kidz Bop tour came over one year. When it ended, our location ran out of Happy Meals with all the kids that came pouring in.
I remember from Kidz Bop there were the McDonald’s CDs and getting two of them back then. Out of the six I don’t have them to this day😂
“MY KIDS ARE LISTENING TO KIDS BOP WITH HEY CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!”
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
