Also, yeah the hook’s catchy but don’t sample a hit (even if it’s a one hit wonder). Dig deeper, my dudes

Also also: no it wasn’t Seville by Luiz Bonfá, which I know Gotye himself sampled

If you’re gonna sample Gotye sample literally any album cut, no one, including myself, will probably know it

Lol nobody at all. I mean, I get they were going for an ear-worm etc, but that xylophone over guitar is too distinct

aconstantwip.bsky.social•3 days ago

Plus, it's been 14 years and they couldn't think of anything creative to do with the sample? Shameful

I miss the 2010s so so much, such an innocent time

magnatolvan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed. It was still an emotionally tumultuous time, but in hindsight so sincere and naive — and charming bc of it

aconstantwip.bsky.social•3 days ago

It was a gilded age in retrospect, but at least it was fun for half of it

magnatolvan.bsky.social•3 days ago

I hear that. I was 16 going on 17 when the song hit and even the painful times of that era, I still view as painfully *earnest* at least, and there's still something to be said for that

aconstantwip.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was about the same age, maybe one year younger, and yeah, it was naive and bordered on a bit saccharine, but at least things didn’t feel completely hopeless like they do now.

That being said, I still believe a brighter future’s possible, even if getting there’s gonna hurt a lot. 💙

Right?! The camera did a slow zoom on my face when I looked up when that song came out 😨

When you begin to have these moments daily, give me a call. 😂

LOL that time will come soon enough I’m sure 😅

I'm sure you have plenty of time!

I was hanging with some gen Z a couple weeks ago (all born in the 21st century) and like all their slang and ways of talking were things I had encountered online but never IRL and it was strange

magnatolvan.bsky.social•3 days ago

My birthday is still close to the border/cusp of Gen Z, so it's not bad overall, but I DEFINITELY hear you (no pun intended) on hearing things I only ever used/read online. For example, on a recent lunch-date with Cute Girl from Work™️, after telling a story, she described it as her "lore"

jeeshadow1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lmao omg. Ya, I'm a late 96 birthday so I am on the line but moments like that remind me why i identify more with millennials than with Gen Z!
