I literally stopped everything to come here so I can shake it
LETS DROP
My people 🙏🏻
Shshshshshhhake it!❤
I was listening to the song 2 nights ago shaking it lol😂❤
A Nickasaur! video could be really sick, props on the work putting in on this information
I was in high school when this music came out and it is so nostalgic to me. I am glad to hear someone talking about MS without bashing them... their music still sounds good to me today which isnt the case with a lot of music from that time😂
When’re we getting part 2 cozy??
Ikr
How am I just now finding out that was Mitchell mussos brother
I’ve always loved Metro Station and they really did put in the work and I think they deserve all the love 🤷🏼 there I said it plus everyone use to tell me I look like musso 😂😂 we had the same hair same style in clothes I was just a skinnier version of him haha and my friend Forrest (we were in a band together) he looked like Trace so when we played shows everyone called us metro station 2 and so we cleaned into it and played a cover of shake it and I gotta admit it was fun 🤷🏼 my favorite song to play live I still think about it to this day over a decade later 😂😂
You should make a video about Meg & Dia!!!
Breathe Carolina next!!
Cyrus is like softcore-sensitive ronnie radke lmao
LMAO REAL
LMAO
I think ronnie says something like this in an interview somewhere
Unfortunately 😊
@@skittlezisthebest where can i find the interview?
Cozy Rep is a certified legend. He should do a video on 30H!3 next!
Second thisss
Yesssss
That would be sick!
Yes babe I’m going to watch an hour documentary on Metro Station.
And this is just part 1!!
😂
I didn't set a 'introduction to the married couple' song at my wedding last year and my DJ decided to play Shake It after announcing us. It cracked me up. 😂
I knew trace is high school. Always been an Interesting guy. It was really crazy one day he just kinda left and next thing we knew miley was on tv and maybe a year later this introverted kid i knew was performing in front of thousands of people. It was nuts
I hated how they instantly acted big time because I always loved them so much. Meeting them wasn’t a fun experience.
… huh?
@@VOIDSTRANGER2099I guess they mean they were very egotistical. Trace and Mason really buy into their own hype
Really? When I met them, they were all suuuuuper nice. Blake was a bit shy n quiet, but they were all hella nice nonetheless when I met them. It was when they were touring with motion city soundtrack. Now you wanna talk assholes? That josh guy from Motion City Soundtrack is a hellaaaaaa douche. Lol.
Don't get me wrong, they definitely become verryyyy Cocky n into themselves. I was lucky to meet them before the beast of fame got em in their ego.

Hey cozy representative, can you please do a video on the band H.I.M. They are a band I've been getting into recently, and I see no videos talking about their legacy nor has there been a huge resurgence amongst gen z. So I would like if you made a video talking about their history, legacy, etc.
HIM were a staple band of my teens, I've been listening to them since around 2002, their stuff still hits me in the nostalgic feels.
This would be quite interesting, anyway H.I.M. is a European band and I don't know how much Julien is familiar with them, maybe a crossover episode about the friendship between Ville Valo and Bam Margera? :)
Make sure you check out Ville Vallos solo stuff. His album Neon Noir released recently and it's phenomenal. Sounds very much like H.I.M.
HIM? You mean Viva La Bam-Core?
Oh yeah the skater kid -> Bam Margera fan -> HIM fan pipeline was strong back then. They were the first concert I ever went to at the ripe old age of 14, and honestly it was a bit shit (though I can’t expect them to put out their A game at a small venue in Melbourne, I suppose). The way they embraced the colour pink was game changing to me as a hard core emo kid girl though, it was like I had permission to like pink again after years of hardcore “not like other girls” vibes in the scene
In 2009 I saw Metro Station during the “Believers Never Die” Tour alongside Hey Monday, Cobra Starship, All Time Low, and headlined by Fall Out Boy! Literally a major highlight of all my concert going experiences. They totally won me over as a fan that night and I still come back to the debut record fairly often. Stoked that you made this video!
I went to that tour too! I was a huge all time low fan!
Omfg yessss I went to that tour too! I remember it vividly because Folie had just dropped and I had never heard of Cobra Starship at the time. Definitely the group to win me over that night 😂
'Shake It' is one of the corniest but most enjoyable music videos of all time. I always liked their 'Kelsey' song as well.
Kelsey has always been my favorite Metro Station song!
I was so obsessed with Metro Station at age 11 that I named my cat after Trace and I've been embarrassed about it for years but you know what? 6th grade me was right, Metro Station fucks severely and I am unashamed
Trace is also just, like, objectively a cool name 😊
i feel this on a spiritual level, i named a car after Max Green from Escape the Fate😭
I grew up in a small town and of course was a little scene kid who discovered Metro Station right before they blew up… Everyone loved Shake It but no one else cared about the rest of the record… but I loved the entire thing. I wish they’d made more while on the road instead of partying
their first album is still one of my favorites to this day. its so timeless yet stuck in 2007 at the same time.
That synth - like sound that almost every band incorporated back in the day will never get old.
Would you by chance mean…synthesizers? Cause that shit definitely ain’t just “back in the day”.
@@Silverhazey_ Yes. I know that synthesizers weren’t all the rage in that era only. I just liked how they were utilized in said era.
@@Silverhazey_ There are a lot of times where synthesizers are utilized in a way where I’m down for it. It’s not only from the neon pop punk era, but from many others, as well. The neon pop punk era is one of those eras where I fancy the sound of the synthesizer more.
@@quentinbringthenumetalchil5125 Fair enough, I also do love the neon pop punk synth era. I still bang Hellogoodbye to this day and I fancy the heaviest sides of metal for the most part. But as electronic music is my second favorite genre, will always have a soft spot for it.
2006-2009 era synth if you're looking for vfx patches
'and Anthony Improgo is kinda just the drummer' has such 'and none for Gretchen Weiners, bye' energy
I remember Trace Cyrus being a guest DJ/singer at an emo nite last year. He looked different than he used to because of having really short hair now, but he was easily the best-looking/most in shape guy there 😏
Trace was definitely just talk singing (the hushed singing some singers pass off as a style rather than a real technique) and getting away with it LMAOOO. In K-POP terms he was the FOTG (face of the group) instantly recognizable and the most popular.
I remember seeing them when I was 14 and the singer pointed out into the crowd and said “I wish you were older, yeah you babe! I wish you were older!” 🧐
same when I saw them trace when into the crowd took off his shirt and poured water saying "alright let me see you shake it" I remember my mom and aunt being upset but at the time I didn't understand why
When did you see them live because I had to look up their ages because they're the same age my sister who was in high school at the time. It could have been a tacky joke about how from 07-08 how everyone was making jokes about "cougars".
Damn! At least he’s implying he won’t do something to someone that young, but that’s a thought
he should have kept to yourself.
@@caseyjc5but he would if it was legal. its not less creepy for someone to wait for another person to turn 18 to fuck them…its predatory.
Weird
I was such a big fan of them but I always heard they weren’t very nice in person. It seem like trace and mason let the fame get to their head. They started acting bigger then they was. The fact that shake it and control was very popular and had all the teens in that emo phase lol. And mason was sooooo cute to me. No one even mentions them or remember them that much. They didn’t even last very long at all it was over as quick as it started for them
These guys took themselves way too seriously. If they could’ve had fun with this goofiness and been smarter about it all, it could’ve worked out. But both Mason and Trace seem deadpan and air-headed ALL THE TIME.
“Now that we’re done” was my MySpace song for years 😭💖🎶
Honey, wake up, new Cozy Rep is out!
Failing to capitalize on neon pop punk with polished mainstream production is one of the biggest missed opportunities of the 2000s.
Owl city is the only one who really did it.
@@octopusievideos Owl City was nothing close to pop punk lmao
all time low was the closest we ever got
the self production is what made it so good
Trace Cyrus looks like Ronnie Radke without the prison hardening
But I will say, Trace Cyrus does have some of the best tattoos in the music biz. Most musicians/rappers have some trash ink 😅
Ok what??? I had no idea Mitchell muso’s brother was in this band?! I feel like everyone talked about Miley’s brother and that was shocking enough. I can’t believe I didn’t know about the other dude. You’re the only person making these videos that we NEED. Thank you for your service. Lol.
From a former emo kid 🖤
"Was he the most talented guy in the band? GOD NO!" Popped me, laughed so hard haha!
Pure talent.. Musso was a superstar.. He used to shine like a star.. Things will never be the same again 😢
God I was OBSESSED with their debut album in middle school when it first came out. Actually ended up meeting them at the Nashville warped tour in 2015 and it made my entire day haha great video as always cozy, can't wait for part 2!
my niece happened to find their song "Kelsey" by asking siri to play it last year, (because its her name of course) she was 4. I died laughing since I owned the cd.... however many years ago that was. now we listen to it on repeat 😆 I did like their first album but am happy to leave my interest in them at just that.
I heard live sometimes he says Chelsie cuz of his ex. Lol
It's speculated it was Chelsea stabb who was also on Disney
So fucking catchy
Emo kids had the best taste in pop music tbh
Just wanted to say you’re a great creator, glad I found this channel. I don’t even like MS but this was really interesting.
Seventeen forever is catchy but its creepy as hell lol
Odd they changed Trace's whole name when Billy Ray adopted him?
Miley also legally changed her name as a kid. I guess the family was into the whole name change thing.
Trace was dressing in designer everything well before they got in a van to “grind it out.” I mean I like the self titled, but I’ll never be convinced they weren’t already hugely assisted financially and otherwise lol.
I think they desperately wanted to be like the other bands that started small and grinded. Them acting pumped to get castle like they were scraping for Pennies like other bands is pretty obvious. Lol but it’s not their fault that their parents are rich at the end of the day.
When he said “Oliver ah-kin” hehe memory unlocks - it’s pronounced like oaken cause he always says “smokin okin”
I saw metro station for the first time at the house of blues in Anaheim, my friends and I literally had to ask someone to be our adult because it was 18+, at the time we were 13. Oh wow was that a night 😂 Jeffree star even graced the stage. But trace was literally hitting on my friend and boy, I’m sure even if she said she was 13, he wouldn’t care.
I'm waiting for the grooming allegations tbh
"you won't be 17 forever...." Yikes
This made me turn on MS for the first time in yeaaars, it truely holds up so much better than most stuff around that era.
Seeing them live in 2009 was quite wild in not a positive way though, they had no support act and only played 8 songs from their debut album so after half an hour everyone was leaving the venue already, and they were all heavy under the influence of drugs
You missed an opportunity to say "Let's drop!" To start the video after the patreon ad.
Love you, Cozy! It's always cool learning so much from your videos about bands I like. Maybe 3OH3! Next? Keep up the good work!
You have no idea how loud I screamed!!!! When I tell you I was their #1 fan….. omg thank you Julian!!!!!
WHAT? WHAT reality am in? MILEY CYRUS'S BROTHER AND MICHELLE MUSSOS BROTHER?????????????/ WHAT. REALITY GLITCH? ARE WE REAL?
Haven't watched the video yet but since I'm so early I wanted to say I've been loving your videos lately keep it up! If you're every looking for suggestions, I'd love to hear your thoughts on some more niche neon pop punk bands like The Summer Set or We Are the In Crowd. Excited to watch this one, I love your content!! :)
I AGREE HIS CONTENT RULES !!! 2000s scene culture NEEDS to be preserved
I would be stoked for a cozy vid on WATIC, such an underrated band.
we NEEEEED a cobra starship video i beg
I learned their whole first album in anticipation of the Cobra Starship headlined “the really really ridiculously good looking tour” and loved em for a hot second. After Shake It got big I was out, stopped following them 😂 But that album will always be a cringe guilty pleasure
Whatttt that album was so good
Their album is still one of my go-tos on a hot summers day, still holds up!
You gonna video on how P!ATD is not a band anymore?
Awe man this brings me back to the most care free times of my life. I absolutely loved the scene era. It was so much fun. I still listen to my favorite old Metro Station songs to this day.
i love your videos they feel like a documentation of my teenage years
this was my gateway band from Metro Station, to BrokenCyde, then to Asking Alexandria and now I'm all over the place, thank you for this video, amazing work!!!
Mason musso has genuine talent
He should be doing a lot more
I met the band at a signing in May of 2009. It was… interesting? Haha. Blake and Anthony wanted to give someone a hug and security wouldn’t let them. Trace barely acknowledged anyone. Mason only vaguely looked up at people
Omgomgomg Dear Hannah is about to re-enter my rotation
I distinctly remember hearing the demo for Control around the time Shiny Toy Guns was blowing up on MySpace and my jaw dropping. Such a time capsule.
omg julian i need part 2!!! i saw them open for never shout never in 2016, and trace 1. spent the entire set shirtless, and 2. went on a rant about their record label, and i need to know what he was going on about.
What did he say about the record label
Flavor flav is absolutely the most talented guy in his group and shouldn't be compared to Trace. He plays pretty much every instrument extremely well.
I have a thing for songs named after people. I don't know why, I just do. I came across "Kelsey" years ago, and I really liked it. I knew very little about Metro Station other than the Disney Channel connection. I also never made an effort to listen to their other songs, but "Kelsey" is great.
The entire first album is actually really good. One of the few I can listen the whole way through with no skipping
“Nepotism babies” -cozy, 2023 😂
i have always said Kelsey is the true hit on that album, thank you for this vid!!
Being the demographic for Hannah Montana and discovering Metro station at the same time. The best of both worlds 🤭
the comparison (trace’s) of the postal service and metro station makes me want to rip my hair out
I just discovered The Millionaires are back & I can't wrap my head around it (more so with the lineup) It seems the myspace era bands are trying to come back.
Their debut album was ON REPEAT when I was 14 lol seeing them live was such an experience. Thanks for the video ❤
Great video as always Cozy! Have you considered doing a dedicated video about Playradioplay? Always thought he was a pretty standout artist among all of those bedroom pop dudes all over the place back then
When I was 12 and listened to seventeen forever in middle school I thought it was a sweet love song . Now as a 20 year old with the knowledge that I have now if I were a twelve years old again and listened to that song again it would make me feel like I’m being groomed by an older guy , which almost happened to me before back then in my early teen years.
Same! I listened to the album a year or two ago and the combination of hushed singing and lyrics about age/being too young was SUPER off-putting for me. It didn't age too well IMO.
I was thinking the same!! I’m like… this is kinda creepy. I was trying to figure out if I didn’t understand the lyrics or somethin 😂 but nope… just creepy
Pulled in by the Metro, but I subbed for your natural energy. Keep doing you man!
33:32 I think Trace added extra flair to the band. Similar to throwing a rapper in the mix, but of course with a different tone and style. I think it created great a balance that worked super well.
i remember seeing metro station when i was 12 during as the opening act for miley cyrus wonderworld tour. they were my introduction to myspace scene/alt music.
Love your channel. Please consider doing a video on Forever the Sickest Kids!
ruclips.net/video/NIztj0OE55A/видео.html Cozy did a two parter on them 2 years ago.
He already did
Mason Musso : Get out of here, Trace!
Trace Cyrus : What are y'all doing in here?
Mason Musso : It's called cocaine, and you don't want no part of this shit!
Trace Cyrus : Cocaine?
Trace Cyrus : What's it do?
Mason Musso : It turns all your bad feelings into good feelings. It's a nightmare!
Trace Cyrus : I think I'd like to try me some of that "Cuck-ain"
15:48 ogs never forget nickasaur 😎😹
It's weird because in their first acoustic videos before 2008, Cyrus sings pretty decent, he sounds good and he used to know how to sing.
Both guys with their guitars on stage look so iconic, I always thought Mason’s red firebird was one of the prettiest guitars I had seen
I love Metro Station. Their self-titled is iconic ❤
Not gonna lie I fw their first album the summer shake it dropped was a good one for me
part 2 when 😭
Why does Trace look like he could be Ronnie Radke's brother tho?
Man I still listen to the first album. It’s so good. Even to this day. I actually met Trace a few times. I had him in my RUclips channel a few times. We shot at his apartment the first time then we shot at the house he was living with when he was dating Brenda Song. He’s a super cool dude.
What's ur yt?
Saw these guys live a few years ago and they were shockingly really good live
I saw them open for motion city soundtrack when I was in high school like a freshman or sophomore, and this is taking me back
I'm a music nerd, in my recent years I've gotten into much more "acclaimed" music. With that being said, I will be a die-hard Metro fan till the day I die.... Every. Single. Song. was a hit to me. Lol
I remember I asked you to make a video about this group like 2 or 3 years ago lol but no worries as a content creator I definitely get how videos you “mean to do soon” turns into years long projects lol
None the less, thanks for the content! Metro station means a lot cause they’re legit my introduction into neon pop punk!
I was only 9 when their album hit and it had me hype! Introduced me into a lot of other music and it’s crazy because yeah it all started from Hannah Montana at least for me and how I got introduced 😂😂😂
I had free tickets to watch Miley Cyrus in London when Metro Station were opening for her. I was alot more excited to see metro station ngl
What happened to ur paramore video
I first saw them when they were on tour with Fall Out Boy (Believers Never Die Part Dieux). I was high as hell at that show 😅
would love to see an episode on Breathe Carolina or Kill Paradise
As a guitarist I can say that anyone who plays the guitar should be able to tell pretty immediately by watching Trace play that he is awful. Borderline cant even play the instrument at all. Genuinely might be the worst guitarist in history who has been paid to play the guitar.
Idk if MSI (mindless self indulgence) is out of your wheelhouse/interest but it would be super interesting
Man...I remember seeing Metro Station with BLG back when Iwas 14. You're not wrong about Trace's vocals and "Starpower" , for sure 🤣🤣
I knew Trace growing up. One day he punched me in the face for “staring at his ketchup”. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Never stare at a man’s condiments. Anyone who is a hater on Metro Station is a LOSER and I will always be their fan.
Omg please cover escape the fates embarrassing downfall for a group that was founded by the legendary Gerard Way so crazy
Metro station got popular when I was in high school. I didn't know Trace was Mileys brother until I was in my 20s. I was justba fan of the music.
2009 I saw Mikey Cyrus live and metro station opened up for her :)
I met and wrote a song with Mason last year. He was a really down to earth guy, imo.
