    You forgot “This song came out when I was in high school”

    Followed by a generic story about how they used to drive around the city.

    Who is here in 2025…6… every video. Why do people write this shit?

      My guess is it makes spoofing accounts seem more valid, also maybe boosts small time channels by creating (fake) engagement, so the YouTube algorithm picks up content from that channel. My “proof” is that when you see a shorts video with random top 5 family guy compilations (or other such bullshit), their comment section is usually filled with stupid responses like this (or asking what the source of the material is, despite it often being in the title).

      Whenever I see it, it seems to be people reaching out to connect with others in the same community enjoying the same nostalgia. Some people are just lonely.

    I love when people comment “they don’t make music like this anymore” because they most certainly do, and are probably making more of it than any point in history.

    They don’t make music like this anymore… Half a dozen similar bands rocking it on 6Music/KEXP etc rn.

        I always updoot 6music. Well-managed ABC playlist, informed DJs who get to pick their own tracks, plenty of background and relevant conversation (Artist in Residence, Freak Zone, Round Table, etc), and because it’s the BBC there’s no adverts, no fucking obnoxious competitions, and no desperate attempts at listener engagement.

        If you ever get a chance to go to the 6 Music Festival; do it.

    The “My wife passed away…” is so common. I would think that would be a turn off to the young generations on the music. Maybe that’s the point? A lot of the music it’s used on has been repurposed already in a new song.

      Am I weird for being angry at the latest wave of songs that straight up steal an older song’s melody and reuse it in some inane bullshit? The one that comes to mind for me is that song that ripped off “Blue” by Eiffel 65 by David Guetta. It’s not like Eiffel 65 was a modern Bach or anything, but the “I’m Good” version feels so empty and blatantly a ripoff that I can’t help but get angry when I hear it.

        There are so many waves of this happening though, I think that you might be noticing it on your favorite music for this wave.

    Pretty accurate. Just missing “who else is here because they heard this [obscure song] on [TV show or movie]?!”

    Also the guy on the lower left has a weird LLM look to me.

    “Why is YouTube reccomending this … Years later” they’re washing out all the creative comments on old videos

    There’s also stories where this song played in their favorite song that’s now closed forever.

    I don’t mind these comments though.
