I once read something somebody had written about this song and it seemed perfect. It was along the lines of "The first time I heard it, I lost my shit, because I didn't know what was coming. The next time I heard it, I lost my shit because I knew what was coming".
I'll be looking for it man even though it's 4:45 either the video I guess I'll have to take you back but thanks for the heads up I miss it I want this time do you have it it's kind of blew me away too man when it just busted into a groove everyone went nuts
The tension in the Garden was almost unbearable as we waited for the beat to drop. This is an incredible video, but it's missing the best part of the in-person moment - as the beat finally dropped and the bank of lights went crazy behind the stage, a shower of glowsticks came raining down from the upper ring and all 12,000 of us collectively lost our minds. And then they played for four more hours. What a night.
I would give anything. The first time I saw them was at bonnaroo 2016 and when the beat dropped fireworks went off and like 40,000 people just lost their collective shit. But to think it was the last time it would ever happen has to add a whole other level
They shamelessly rip off Talking Heads, New Order, David Bowie, early Eno, The Cure, Killing Joke, Liquid Liquid, Wire, and countless post punk acts. He said in an interview that he’s never hid his influences but it’s amazing how many people will eventually go through that “so THAT’S where they got it from” moment at some point.
D Escalade It’s basically a parlor trick. I’m pretty sure he made “Tired” to prove to someone he could do a Stooges song effortlessly. And he did. That song fucking rules, even if it’s basically a Stooges tribute
The entire band is so charming in this video. Everyone smiling and dancing, and having a good time. Giving hugs to the sound engineers before they walk out, the smiles and excitement about the show. It's the essence of the joy of being part of a band.
@@aldossnow3703 yeah people who are smart enough to make some of the greatest music out there instead of generic ghetto crap that people shake their butts to LOL
I've never heard any of this band's music until 5 minutes ago. And this is one of the most passionate and incredible live performances I've ever seen. Im hooked.
I’m 14, so I can’t relate to any of James’ songs, but I understand and love the messages completely. My dad is a huge fan and earlier in May this year, he took me to a concert. I had never heard the songs ever before, so I was completely shocked when I heard the first few. The lights were so pretty and the people around me were so happy that it made me happy. When Dance Yrself Clean started playing, I assumed it was a slow song, so I was checking my phone right before the first beat drop. My dad took my phone and told me to watch out for people around me, but to also go crazy. As soon as the beat dropped, I can’t even explain what I was feeling. I started crying but in a happy way and I jumped with the people around me. I yelled and cheered and completely lost myself in the song. When it slowed down again, I looked at my dad and he was so happy and I was happy. It was an amazing feeling. We were pretty far in the front, and I saw how happy the band and James were. It was so crazy I can’t even explain it. The second beat drop, I think I might’ve inhaled someones vape or something because it was so beautiful and I felt so connected to the music and the feeling in my chest oh my god it was the most beautiful moment of my life.
After pouring his absolute being out onto the stage at 7:40 , I’m in awe at the fact they all continued to belt it out for another four hours. Fucking legendary
Around the time that this came out, I had been dating someone for a few weeks. I showed her the song and after the first 30 seconds, she said something like “so this is the kind of music you really like?” And that was the night I chose LCD Soundsystem over a relationship.
and that's on being close minded. music taste isn't everything. my gf is socialist while I'm a right libertarian. If we can have a good relationship, why can't you?
@@mypenisisunbelievablysmall5650 as a fellow right-leaning libertarian, yikes m8. though i did re-read my own comment and almost immediately disagree with myself.
@@evmanbutts I saw them on their reunion "American Dream" tour and they were an hour late on stage with no opening act. Of course I drank to keep myself occupied so by the time the show started I was so drunk I barely remembered the set. I'm so mad at myself 😡
I was there. And it was the most fun night of my life. I've seen them 3 times since, but this night we all were in love with each other. It was a huge bonding experience I had with 100 strangers. So beautiful. I hope I meet more of you at one of their shows in the future.
This is one of the best filming/montage music live video that I recall. The live stage is ok but the way it is filmed... wow. The cinematography is absolutely great.
Kind of like being Grateful your Dead..... The people working the boards to make the sound like this are certainly not playing checkers... It sounds like a live studio version that makes any sense it's clean
For reasons I will never understand, I didn’t bother to go see them on their farewell tour. A friend of mine who did told me that I made a giant mistake. When I saw the documentary (“Shut up and Play the hits”) the following year at a festival, I was filled with immense regret. Particularly during this song. Thankfully they got back together a few years ago and started touring again, and I didn’t make that mistake again. This song was everything I needed it to be live. Such a great band, and this is them at their best.
I mean, they'll probably tour again. Cult following and an easy way to make some money. It not like they're a real indie band that will just hang it up one day.
@@Tom_SkeltonI know your comment is old but I'm still replying. If they keep on touring, that's fine for me. I mean, they are making their own money with their own music, for their fans. Isn't that fair? Would you rather for them to steal or something? What's wrong with artists wanting to make money? Maybe it is time for us to cut that sh*t of "all they want is the money"... WE ALL WANT MONEY. And touring is the only way many, if not most artists make money for themselves. Selling music only benefits to the companies.
everytime i revisit this performance i get brung to tears. not because im sad im just envious of everyone who got to see this particular performance. i fucking love LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
Heard this song from Evil Dead Rise, the character Danny is playing this on the turntable in the scene where the family is introduced early in the movie 😊 Awesome movie, and it introduced me to LCD soundsystem
It makes me wonder if the structure of Dance Yrself Clean influenced Donald to compose Me and Your Mama. The way the beat drops on both songs is very similar
Everything about this is better than the studio version and I already loved the studio version. I just jumped happily around my kitchen doing the damn dishes.
I randomly came across this and, holy shit, I am now an LCD Soundsystem fan and will now start listening to their back catalog. This is an amazing song.
When they got back together in 2016 I was front row for their set at Bonnaroo which I believe was only their third show after Coachella. This was the second to last song. I remember right before The Drop I turned around to face the crowd and when it hit I just saw a sea of people rolling down a field. When he hit the "put your little feet doooown" fireworks went off. I will never, ever forget it.
I was lucky enough to be there that night. It was an otherworldly experience. I moved to the City right after that and would see James Murphy sometimes on the G train. Never had the balls to tell him how much that show meant to me.
I'm not really sure who I'm addressing here, since the last comment on this video happened about a year ago, but here I go... I had never heard LCD Soundsystem in my life until a two hour drive one week ago. If I'm letting spotify play recommendations for me while I'm driving, I'm a captive audience. And usually a disappointed one. Their algorithm insists that, based on my favorite artists, I must really, _really_ be into something called "nu-metal." I'm not... I'm really, _really_ not. Really. But there I was, taking 476 out of Philly on September 20th. Bumper to bumper at 90 mph. Every one of you bastards had your high beams on because people just drive around with the damned things turned on _all the time_ now. I was tired and pissed off, and I had a headache. And what should the divine inspiration of the algorithm deliver to me... wedged between Pop Will Eat Itself and Sharon Van Etten... but the live at Madison Square Garden performance of Dance Yrself Clean. It was like the angel, James Murphy had descended from on high to enunciate to me that I was to to conceive and bear the son of god. Anyway... I just wanted to say that I'm immensely gratified to have been recruited into your musical cult that night.
@@leonard8741 " I love drugs, my dads an addict, ur story sucks ass and I’m from Sweden. I don’t take pride in the last one, but i have a feeling that u reaaally do (referring to the states obv)." I had to re-read this sober rambling five times before I could decode what in the hell this point that you claimed to be clarifying even was. I'm still not sure I have... But... I _think_ the implication of your remark is that I was "name-dropping" Philadelphia? Because it's a US city? I'm concerned... that the state of the public imagination has become so debased that a reference to southeastern Pennsylvania could ever be assumed to be self aggrandizement. I typically get on 476 at the Lansdale exit. Across from the Royal Farms. It's a gas station that serves fried chicken. And I'm usually driving to Scranton when I do this. If I need to say more than this to disabuse you of the notion that my home is a point of quasi-nationalist pride for me, then I encourage you to pay us a visit in Philly. I would emphasize, though, that you really need to travel south of Hunting Park Ave to appreciate the glamour of Eastern seaboard urbanism. You'll find all the crack you could possibly want there. Also aids. Superior pizza in Scranton, actually. That Old Forge style! Vince's in Pittston is way more addictive than crack.
@@leonard8741 "I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing for me, cause I listened too it a lot like three or four years ago (I’m 18 so it was my 15 y/o jam) " " I’ve studied music for over 9 years y’all don’t know shit." I see. I gather that your hostility has been cultivated by my casual indifference to the cherished nu-metal of your youth. I'm also nostalgic. I like to tell people that I'm "from the nineties." God, I miss the nineties. I suspect something culturally important has been lost with the passing of that era. Much in the same way that Curt White mourns the death of what he describes as "sixties style thought..." I regret the passage of a certain set of cultural norms indigenous to the 90's. Something hospitable to critical thought. And to the sciences and arts. To experimentation. I know... I mean... I _know_ that I was not the only guy wearing the black turtleneck pullover, sipping his breve in the artisanal coffee house, reading about algebraic topology and Jurgen Habermas. I _saw_ you other beatnik's there! Before the decade of stupid that followed. And the decade of "lingering stupid" that followed that one! I was a big industrial music enthusiast back then. (I still am.) Early Wax Trax and Nothing Records stuff. I once heard someone describe Nitzer Ebb as the gateway drug from Depeche Mode to full on Ministry. That... sounds superficially like a decent abbreviation of my adolescence. And because this was the 90's, one simply did not pursue music in a pop-commercial desert. It was always inextricably bound up with the aspiration to aim artistically higher than what was covered by MTV. Industrial's noise and collage roots led me to John Cage and Japanese Noise music. The work of the concretists was always a prominent current within the industrial community. I recall I found my way to Varese and Stockhausen before I had even heard of Merzbow. And of course, this sort of enthusiasm opens the door to discover 20th century electronically driven, modernist and minimalist composition. So... Tudor to Dockstader... to Reich to Riley... To Zorn... to Gorecki and Kilar... and on and on. This was a vast musical landscape to explore. With a great deal of tectonic provocation. Riley's delay systems. Zorn's game play strategies. Reich's phasing compositions. And one became larger as one explored that landscape. That's what the era was like for many people. And then the hip-hoppian turn came... as brown people discovered that they could commercially enlist slow witted white kids from the suburbs to help them advance their cultural agenda. We saw this happening. We saw the slow witted white kids. 'Fila' kids, we called them. Wow. They sure did love their casual wear. They also really loved mountain dew and something called 'extreme sports.' (I was a gymnast studying Aikido. Guys who wore short pants were telling me about how 'extreme' their sports were. It was embarrassing.) And... OH... Go sing it on the mountain... They loved that Limp Bizkit. Fred Durst was their 15 yo jam. And now... all pop music sounds like the same smooth, three chord progression mush, backed by the same chorus of disorganized, autotuned mumbling. Incidentally, I _think_ this 'dysgenic' influence of hip-hop upon our music is what Adorno was subtly trying to warn us about with his critique of Jazz. It's possible I haven't sufficiently penetrated Adorno. But even if I've misunderstood him, your appeal to 'nostalgia' isn't adequate to ground any kind of criticism of a piece of music. If we want to understand something about what kind of artistic merit music has, then we need some criteria we can use to consistently test it. I'd like to submit that Russian formalism, and in particular the work of Viktor Shklovsky, could be a useful tool for understanding that merit. I'm thinking of Shklovsky's aesthetic theories of 'complexity' and 'difficulty.' While developed for literary analysis, they have proven to be directly applicable to the visual arts, and I think they are just as useful for critically interrogating music. Why is it, Shklovsky would ask, that the merit of a piece of art is often associated with its complexity? Why is it often associated with the level of difficulty with which it was executed? An obvious benefit of this sort of approach is that much contemporary musical analysis already investigates complexity as a critical facet of musical composition. (Probably because it can be meaningfully measured.) This is just a suggestion, of course. I'm always trying to bring people into the fold of formalist analysis. I'm perfectly amenable to considering some alternative strategy for testing artistic merit. It's just that we can't really do much with 'feelings...' "I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing..." " ...it still has a special meaning for me." "...trying so hard to build up to something and be so fucking glorious, but I just don’t feel it." See? This is pretty much the whole substance of your thesis so far. Telling us about your feelings. I'm willing to listen, but your feelings don't have any kind of discriminatory or truth function. They don't furnish us with anything confirmative about the artistic merit of 'System of a Down.' This sort of thing has been a congenital weakness of millennials. And it really distinguished them from their generation x predecessors. Part of it is probably attributable to the way they were socialized. Part of it seems to be unavoidably attributable to real plastic physical changes in the brain. There was a well documented and meaningful drop in IQ from one generation to the next. Whatever the causes, as a global community, the millennial set's entire thinking seems to be done in terms of emotion. And their dominant emotion tends to be dread of what they cannot understand. I am constantly being reassured by the chattering classes that your generation is positioned to reverse this trend. That you are thoughtful in a way that the millennials have (broadly speaking) not been. That you're intellectually curious. Literate. If I were obliged to draw some conclusions about how well equipped your tribe was to "make the call" about the relative artistic merits of James Murphy and Serj Tankian's respective works... and I only had your commentary to go by... how do you think I should judge you? What basis would there be for me to judge you "the best person to make the call?" In case you decide to engage me critically, here are a couple of pieces of pop music that I'd like you to familiarize yourself with before we continue.

When I have a bad day....I don't trouble my family or friends with the whining......I simply go watch this. Don't ask me why, but morning coffee seems so much better...........5:20.......
saw them in Atlanta in like 2010 or 2011, in an old Baptist Tabernacle. Sleigh Bells opened. The house was electric. This song was one of the greatest concert moments in my life...when that beat dropped, the floors bounced and that old church shook. Unbelievable, I still get chills.
I used to work at a club in NYC called the Bowery Ballroom in 2005....lots of great bands come through there and I was working the stage as the guy who plugs all the mics in after the band sets up. I came into work that day and saw the LCD was headlining that night. I never heard of them, and knew NOTHING about them. They load in, we set them up and James was the last one on stage for soundcheck. He was very meticulous about what he wanted to hear on stage and was inching closer and closer to it over the next hour or so. At first, I thought he was being a pain, but as the sound check progressed, I heard what he was doing, how he was shaping the sound for the room they were playing in. After he was satisfied, we had to move some of their equipment to the back of the stage to give room for the opening bands (Gang Gang Dance was one of them). This is when I spoke to James. He couldn't have been more gracious and nice and humble. A real sweet heart of a guy. I was definitely low man on the totem pole but he treated me with respect and as a peer. When they came on, they blew the roof off that place and I was lucky enough to watch the show ON the stage 10 feet away from the band. It was an experience. At the end of the set, he thanked everyone that worked there and gave us all passes for their Record Release Party that night at the Chelsea Hotel. Of course I went. And the best part of the night........Adrock from the Beastie Boys was backstage and I got to meet him. God, I loved working there.
Over the last like 2 days, I have relived the years of LCD Soundsystem and holy shit if only I could be there. This music was such a revolutionary concept for its time and the fact that they aren't as popular now makes me sad. There are so many good songs and artists people will never hear. I hope that 60 years from now people are still rediscovering this song, video, and band for the first time. I look forward to coming back here years down the line.
I just went to one of their concerts 2 days ago and it was one of the best nights I've ever had. Their live shows are amazing. Don't miss the chance to get floor seats that's for sure where you want to be.

3 mins ago. On my couch. Just wow
I know! Awesome in the true sense of the word! I love it when other people discover it!
I do. I burst in tears and realized that I've been looking for this song my entire life.
Yep. At a party where we were all talking and then when it dropped... so did we.
I CRIED when I first heard it
Love how he tinkers around the stage then casually begins the lyrics
and the Elvis mic
pretty crazy the drop made them jump in slow motion
This is one of the best filming/montage music live video that I recall. The live stage is ok but the way it is filmed... wow. The cinematography is absolutely great.
it reminds me of the "Ready to Start" videoclip (Arcade Fire).
YOU ARE GOD DAMMN RIGHT
4 minutes into the "song" and I'm not sure what the big deal is?
The big deal is 5:04 onward
this is no big deal, is utter shit
Still one of the hardest drops of all time.
Among the greatest recorded performances in history. It is on par with the last waltz.

For reasons I will never understand, I didn’t bother to go see them on their farewell tour. A friend of mine who did told me that I made a giant mistake. When I saw the documentary (“Shut up and Play the hits”) the following year at a festival, I was filled with immense regret. Particularly during this song. Thankfully they got back together a few years ago and started touring again, and I didn’t make that mistake again. This song was everything I needed it to be live. Such a great band, and this is them at their best.
I mean, they'll probably tour again. Cult following and an easy way to make some money. It not like they're a real indie band that will just hang it up one day.
@@Tom_SkeltonI know your comment is old but I'm still replying.
If they keep on touring, that's fine for me. I mean, they are making their own money with their own music, for their fans. Isn't that fair? Would you rather for them to steal or something? What's wrong with artists wanting to make money?
Maybe it is time for us to cut that sh*t of "all they want is the money"... WE ALL WANT MONEY. And touring is the only way many, if not most artists make money for themselves. Selling music only benefits to the companies.
everytime i revisit this performance i get brung to tears. not because im sad im just envious of everyone who got to see this particular performance. i fucking love LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
Heard this song from Evil Dead Rise, the character Danny is playing this on the turntable in the scene where the family is introduced early in the movie 😊 Awesome movie, and it introduced me to LCD soundsystem
FRICKEN AWESOME DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the energy every member puts into this performance
One of the greatest songs of the fucking history
Jeez why tf am I crying. Pure fun and pure emotion, wonderful song and energy.
Seriously one of the best drops ever constructed
even Donald Glover came to this concert... envy
kevin jarwo damn I didn’t know that. Did he mention it in an interview?
Haut Strange you can see him in the documentary
It makes me wonder if the structure of Dance Yrself Clean influenced Donald to compose Me and Your Mama. The way the beat drops on both songs is very similar
Damn Donald Glover had an eclectic music range... even influenced his own music. No wonder he's so great.
Glover, Reggie Watts, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire. Lots of celebs in the audience. It was wild.
This is one of the most beautiful performances I’ve seen, crying on my commuter train. Thanks for the collective joy!
It’s impossible not to dance to this song. Truly perfect. Saw them live in Brooklyn this week and they are still one of the best live bands out there.
The studio version pales in comparison to this. Man can he sing!
Everything about this is better than the studio version and I already loved the studio version. I just jumped happily around my kitchen doing the damn dishes.
Apparently
This is the sound and feeling when a soul is set free after finding release and true happiness after enduring pain and suppression!
nothing will ever top that i went to NYC for this. every bit of WORTH IT. i laughed i cried and dnced my face off. BEST.
I randomly came across this and, holy shit, I am now an LCD Soundsystem fan and will now start listening to their back catalog. This is an amazing song.
seeing humanity create art and appreciate art in this way gives me goosebumps
When they got back together in 2016 I was front row for their set at Bonnaroo which I believe was only their third show after Coachella. This was the second to last song. I remember right before The Drop I turned around to face the crowd and when it hit I just saw a sea of people rolling down a field. When he hit the "put your little feet doooown" fireworks went off. I will never, ever forget it.
7:33
IT'S YOUR SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
I was lucky enough to be there that night. It was an otherworldly experience. I moved to the City right after that and would see James Murphy sometimes on the G train. Never had the balls to tell him how much that show meant to me.
Never thought I could love a song or cowbells so damn much!
Goose bumps!
hahaha neither I did. Cowbells!!! haha
One awesome quality concert vid of an awesome quality song but an awesome quality band. awesome quality.
Awesome. Quality.
quality awesomeness
My neighbors sure loved hearing this entire concert blaring in my home theater.
I've watched this like 30 times today with a big smile on my face, and an occasional gulp to hold back emotion overflow
No speaker i own goes as loud as the drop deserves to be
I don't really listen to music loud anymore, but you are right.
@@michaelwinn2508 They'll be back and are as good as ever.
I literally busted a set of samsung ear buds on this very song. True story. No sound came out afterward.
It red lighted our Genelec rig when we were mixing it
3:26
that *YEEEAAAHHH* is so good
This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen
I'm not really sure who I'm addressing here, since the last comment on this video happened about a year ago, but here I go...
I had never heard LCD Soundsystem in my life until a two hour drive one week ago. If I'm letting spotify play recommendations for me while I'm driving, I'm a captive audience. And usually a disappointed one. Their algorithm insists that, based on my favorite artists, I must really, _really_ be into something called "nu-metal."
I'm not... I'm really, _really_ not.
Really.
But there I was, taking 476 out of Philly on September 20th. Bumper to bumper at 90 mph. Every one of you bastards had your high beams on because people just drive around with the damned things turned on _all the time_ now. I was tired and pissed off, and I had a headache.
And what should the divine inspiration of the algorithm deliver to me... wedged between Pop Will Eat Itself and Sharon Van Etten... but the live at Madison Square Garden performance of Dance Yrself Clean.
It was like the angel, James Murphy had descended from on high to enunciate to me that I was to to conceive and bear the son of god.
Anyway... I just wanted to say that I'm immensely gratified to have been recruited into your musical cult that night.
@Robert Nefzer what would you call your comment?
I hope you're a writer. 💜
@@leonard8741 Hahaaaa what's this guy's deal???
@@leonard8741 " I love drugs, my dads an addict, ur story sucks ass and I’m from Sweden. I don’t take pride in the last one, but i have a feeling that u reaaally do (referring to the states obv)."
I had to re-read this sober rambling five times before I could decode what in the hell this point that you claimed to be clarifying even was. I'm still not sure I have... But... I _think_ the implication of your remark is that I was "name-dropping" Philadelphia? Because it's a US city?
I'm concerned... that the state of the public imagination has become so debased that a reference to southeastern Pennsylvania could ever be assumed to be self aggrandizement.
I typically get on 476 at the Lansdale exit. Across from the Royal Farms. It's a gas station that serves fried chicken. And I'm usually driving to Scranton when I do this. If I need to say more than this to disabuse you of the notion that my home is a point of quasi-nationalist pride for me, then I encourage you to pay us a visit in Philly. I would emphasize, though, that you really need to travel south of Hunting Park Ave to appreciate the glamour of Eastern seaboard urbanism. You'll find all the crack you could possibly want there. Also aids.
Superior pizza in Scranton, actually. That Old Forge style! Vince's in Pittston is way more addictive than crack.

"I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing for me, cause I listened too it a lot like three or four years ago (I’m 18 so it was my 15 y/o jam) "
" I’ve studied music for over 9 years y’all don’t know shit."
I see. I gather that your hostility has been cultivated by my casual indifference to the cherished nu-metal of your youth.
I'm also nostalgic. I like to tell people that I'm "from the nineties." God, I miss the nineties. I suspect something culturally important has been lost with the passing of that era. Much in the same way that Curt White mourns the death of what he describes as "sixties style thought..." I regret the passage of a certain set of cultural norms indigenous to the 90's. Something hospitable to critical thought. And to the sciences and arts. To experimentation. I know... I mean... I _know_ that I was not the only guy wearing the black turtleneck pullover, sipping his breve in the artisanal coffee house, reading about algebraic topology and Jurgen Habermas. I _saw_ you other beatnik's there! Before the decade of stupid that followed. And the decade of "lingering stupid" that followed that one!
I was a big industrial music enthusiast back then. (I still am.) Early Wax Trax and Nothing Records stuff. I once heard someone describe Nitzer Ebb as the gateway drug from Depeche Mode to full on Ministry. That... sounds superficially like a decent abbreviation of my adolescence.
And because this was the 90's, one simply did not pursue music in a pop-commercial desert. It was always inextricably bound up with the aspiration to aim artistically higher than what was covered by MTV. Industrial's noise and collage roots led me to John Cage and Japanese Noise music. The work of the concretists was always a prominent current within the industrial community. I recall I found my way to Varese and Stockhausen before I had even heard of Merzbow. And of course, this sort of enthusiasm opens the door to discover 20th century electronically driven, modernist and minimalist composition. So... Tudor to Dockstader... to Reich to Riley... To Zorn... to Gorecki and Kilar... and on and on.
This was a vast musical landscape to explore. With a great deal of tectonic provocation. Riley's delay systems. Zorn's game play strategies. Reich's phasing compositions. And one became larger as one explored that landscape. That's what the era was like for many people.
And then the hip-hoppian turn came... as brown people discovered that they could commercially enlist slow witted white kids from the suburbs to help them advance their cultural agenda. We saw this happening. We saw the slow witted white kids. 'Fila' kids, we called them. Wow. They sure did love their casual wear. They also really loved mountain dew and something called 'extreme sports.' (I was a gymnast studying Aikido. Guys who wore short pants were telling me about how 'extreme' their sports were. It was embarrassing.) And... OH... Go sing it on the mountain... They loved that Limp Bizkit. Fred Durst was their 15 yo jam.
And now... all pop music sounds like the same smooth, three chord progression mush, backed by the same chorus of disorganized, autotuned mumbling.
Incidentally, I _think_ this 'dysgenic' influence of hip-hop upon our music is what Adorno was subtly trying to warn us about with his critique of Jazz. It's possible I haven't sufficiently penetrated Adorno. But even if I've misunderstood him, your appeal to 'nostalgia' isn't adequate to ground any kind of criticism of a piece of music. If we want to understand something about what kind of artistic merit music has, then we need some criteria we can use to consistently test it. I'd like to submit that Russian formalism, and in particular the work of Viktor Shklovsky, could be a useful tool for understanding that merit. I'm thinking of Shklovsky's aesthetic theories of 'complexity' and 'difficulty.' While developed for literary analysis, they have proven to be directly applicable to the visual arts, and I think they are just as useful for critically interrogating music.
Why is it, Shklovsky would ask, that the merit of a piece of art is often associated with its complexity? Why is it often associated with the level of difficulty with which it was executed? An obvious benefit of this sort of approach is that much contemporary musical analysis already investigates complexity as a critical facet of musical composition. (Probably because it can be meaningfully measured.) This is just a suggestion, of course. I'm always trying to bring people into the fold of formalist analysis. I'm perfectly amenable to considering some alternative strategy for testing artistic merit. It's just that we can't really do much with 'feelings...'
"I love nu metal, well it’s more of a nostalgia thing..."
" ...it still has a special meaning for me."
"...trying so hard to build up to something and be so fucking glorious, but I just don’t feel it."
See? This is pretty much the whole substance of your thesis so far. Telling us about your feelings. I'm willing to listen, but your feelings don't have any kind of discriminatory or truth function. They don't furnish us with anything confirmative about the artistic merit of 'System of a Down.' This sort of thing has been a congenital weakness of millennials. And it really distinguished them from their generation x predecessors. Part of it is probably attributable to the way they were socialized. Part of it seems to be unavoidably attributable to real plastic physical changes in the brain. There was a well documented and meaningful drop in IQ from one generation to the next. Whatever the causes, as a global community, the millennial set's entire thinking seems to be done in terms of emotion. And their dominant emotion tends to be dread of what they cannot understand.
I am constantly being reassured by the chattering classes that your generation is positioned to reverse this trend. That you are thoughtful in a way that the millennials have (broadly speaking) not been. That you're intellectually curious. Literate.
If I were obliged to draw some conclusions about how well equipped your tribe was to "make the call" about the relative artistic merits of James Murphy and Serj Tankian's respective works... and I only had your commentary to go by... how do you think I should judge you? What basis would there be for me to judge you "the best person to make the call?"
In case you decide to engage me critically, here are a couple of pieces of pop music that I'd like you to familiarize yourself with before we continue.

How the fooooooooook have I only just heard this !!!!!!!!!!! Wtaf!! Mind Blownnnnn
When I have a bad day....I don't trouble my family or friends with the whining......I simply go watch this. Don't ask me why, but morning coffee seems so much better...........5:20.......
I do this too!! ahaha best breakthrough ever
Im literally doing this rn. But at 10:00 am LOL
The energy is on a whole other level. Such an insane performance
Goosebumps
Would kill to be there!! The production of this song is unreal!!!!
WHAT IS THEIR COMPRESSION SETUP?!?
For my money this might just be one of the greatest songs ever written; it’s hard to understand how a song can be this god damn powerful. Thank you.
saw them in Atlanta in like 2010 or 2011, in an old Baptist Tabernacle. Sleigh Bells opened. The house was electric. This song was one of the greatest concert moments in my life...when that beat dropped, the floors bounced and that old church shook. Unbelievable, I still get chills.
I used to work at a club in NYC called the Bowery Ballroom in 2005....lots of great bands come through there and I was working the stage as the guy who plugs all the mics in after the band sets up. I came into work that day and saw the LCD was headlining that night. I never heard of them, and knew NOTHING about them. They load in, we set them up and James was the last one on stage for soundcheck. He was very meticulous about what he wanted to hear on stage and was inching closer and closer to it over the next hour or so. At first, I thought he was being a pain, but as the sound check progressed, I heard what he was doing, how he was shaping the sound for the room they were playing in. After he was satisfied, we had to move some of their equipment to the back of the stage to give room for the opening bands (Gang Gang Dance was one of them). This is when I spoke to James. He couldn't have been more gracious and nice and humble. A real sweet heart of a guy. I was definitely low man on the totem pole but he treated me with respect and as a peer. When they came on, they blew the roof off that place and I was lucky enough to watch the show ON the stage 10 feet away from the band. It was an experience. At the end of the set, he thanked everyone that worked there and gave us all passes for their Record Release Party that night at the Chelsea Hotel. Of course I went. And the best part of the night........Adrock from the Beastie Boys was backstage and I got to meet him. God, I loved working there.
😁 this whole live version is so dang badazz. Love how he was so chill before heading up to the stage.
This song has always been one of my faves
Going seeing them in June and I cannot freaking wait. Have had their albums on repeat since I got the tickets
Jaw dropped when it dropped
This song gives me chills everytime I listen to it
Stick around for the drop at 5:15 if you don't mind a little cream in your jeans.
DPMusicStudio j
jizz city, usa baby!
just throw your lil hands up if ya did
Jokes on you there's always cream in my jeans
There is not enough hearts to praise this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Didn't expect this song to explode like it did later on. First time listener, really catchy song!
The first time listing to this song is great because you don't know what's going to happen. The second time is as great because you know what's coming
This song is so awesome.
Love 0:40 right at the very beginning. So beautiful. The excitement from the crowd and band is unreal.
Over the last like 2 days, I have relived the years of LCD Soundsystem and holy shit if only I could be there. This music was such a revolutionary concept for its time and the fact that they aren't as popular now makes me sad. There are so many good songs and artists people will never hear. I hope that 60 years from now people are still rediscovering this song, video, and band for the first time. I look forward to coming back here years down the line.
I just went to one of their concerts 2 days ago and it was one of the best nights I've ever had. Their live shows are amazing. Don't miss the chance to get floor seats that's for sure where you want to be.
The synths at 6:18 are genius
Seconded
Heard this song for the first time when I watched Evil Dead Rise and I was hooked
No possible way anyone left Madison Square Garden that night unhappy.
Yea there were, they were sad cause it was over
You can listen to this song 1000 times and it’s like the first time every time. That drop. Mmmm.
This Song is one of the graetest Story of Good Sounds! Thanks.
Love the 10cc song playing at the start.
*Today is MARCH 10, 2024 and my dog diedd today... i am so sad u guys/girls//... her name was barbie... she lived a BEAUTIFUL 14 YEARS!! I LOVE YOU BABY BARBIE!!! THIS WAS OUR SONG!!!

Quite literally the best band to see live
This is why I'm glad I own decent headphones that music like this deserves
Love the song! Love it 10X more preformed in this live setting. Unbelievable vocals by JM. Absolutely brilliant!!!
Can't stop imagining Ernie from the muppet singing the first bit of this
😂
THANK YOU. I've always thought it sounded like a muppet. Kermit especially
Well fuck now I can't either
Ernie from sesame Street you mean?
Kermit would pe perfect
one of the best drops in music history....just brutal!!!!!!
One of my favorite live performances ever. How could it not be?!?
This is the version of this song that I listen to every morning with my coffee and smoke lol. And u better believe I'm not sitting down after that bass drop!!
10:10 AM on a Sunday morning, trapped in a no one cares town in southern Wisconsin... crying like a baby. this is amazing holy hell

Can't stop replaying, need to sleep
Absolutely love this. LCD are a big part of my late teens, early 20's. So many good times with these guys as the soundtrack.
The drop is only equalled by the smile on my face whenever I hear it 😄
“Yeahhhhhh” guy never fails to impress.
Jeezus!!!! That’s how you open a show!!!
I remember getting chills first hearing this track on the JP Auclair segment when that drop finally hits. Hooked ever since and this performance is fire.
5:20 if I could live inside one second of music history for the rest of my life...
