    I'm convinced people only hate this song because it's a callout on humanity. Humanity doesn't like being called out on their mistakes and having them rubbed in their face. This song is a banger and if the topic wasn't so controversial / negative, it would have won many more awards than just the webby (which all would have been deserved).

    In my opinion, this song is very energetic and gripping, too. It makes me very happy when I'm listening to it. " Chained To The Rhytm " is an interesting idea for teenagers at my age ( 16 ). Katy Perry sings very good and she encourages people to explore new adventures. This song is really sensible, too.
    So I recommend everyone who loves adventures to listen it.

      Because the track sounds too compressed. The bass needs to be double tracked, the tremble needs to be pulled out. That's the only thing wrong with it.

    my theory on what she is talking about is clear I think. she's talking about society in the form of a song. we are so comfortable living in our bubble in the United States we refuse to see what could happen. we can't see the trouble we could get into. turn it up it's your favorite song: many Americans like the president, so they listen to him and nothing else. dance to the distortion: the government is messed up and distorted. and he is repeatedly listened to dispite his short comings. we are pretty much wasted zombies following what we know. and we're all chained to the rhythm because it's all we know, we don't like change so it's not going to. we are prisoners to it even though we think we are free. we see all this through a lens and take what we have for granted. we chose to ignore the inevitable and strive on hopeful. this song is geniously written.

The world 🌎 has become a global illusion. Someone is talking about this Katy's song is one of the worst in Katy's singing career but I don't think so. I'm concerned about the great Katy's talent and everyone who is watching this marvellous song is inspired in Katy's thoughts. Don't waste your time. Don't create illusions. Don't be zombie. I adore Katy's music. The best music singer forever.❤❤❤

    Let me tell you a bit about the song: She was talking about how we humans tend to be blind in many aspects of life..........we are always chained to the rhythm meaning that we are always following what others are doing so that we are not left out too.......and if you listen to Skip Marley's part then you will notice that he is talking about some sort of Empire that has always gave us false information and how they have been really greedy over power and that now people are finally awake! This is basically him saying that we have always followed false leaders(I have no idea if this is political but I see how this can become really political) but finally we are not that stupid, at least some of us.........................Thing is that please listen to songs that have meaning!

    The genius of this song was lost on me until just now.

We all miss the point on a societal level as well

  • @turnerfaughn338
    @turnerfaughn338 2 года назад +12

    Most people think this song was hate towards a certain political party, but in reality, Katy is talking about how we always think of politics and how we argue and only stick to one side and never listen to the other side. It really makes me realize how easily people think that modern trends are so cool because of social media, when in reality the stuff people do today is pretty stupid. She sings about how we need to see the trouble coming. We are always divided, to a point where we have forgotten who we really are as humans, we don't see reality, we are just chained to the rhythm of popular people and trends.

      Yeah . . . No. The lyrics, combined with imagery in the music video, indicate she's pointing out how privilege blinds people the things hurting others. The rich don't see what happens to the poor, white people aren't affected by the same problems as black people, etc. The people's identity is inherently placing them in a bubble, preventing them from experiencing the problems others suffer from, and giving them deniability when it comes to helping deal with those problems.

    this song kind of has that feeling of "nothing matters", but that in itself can be interpreted in two ways, either as nothing matters so everything is hopeless and worth just giving up on, or, nothing matters so may as well have fun and do what you please!.
    Also, it emphasizes the monotony of day to day life, how we turn the other cheek to issues in life, media, drama, politics, how we wear "rose tinted glasses" to fool ourselves into thinking things are better than they actually are. Guess an example is a dog turd (hear me out on this). You can cover it in gold paint and put glitter and perfume on it, but at the end of the day it is still a dog turd.
    At the end of the day, that is life. It is natural for us to focus on negativity and we forget to embrace and enjoy the small, short positive moments in life. Sounds bittersweet, but thats because it is.
    Enjoy the little things!
