    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.

    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.

      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).

    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.

    You know, I hate the Youtube-music channels as much as the next guy, like do I now need to check out both the artist and the artist-topic account?

    But the one thing they got right is disabling comments.

    And if the artist died recently, the comments about this can bury everything else, on everyone of their song sometimes.

    It also means that you find out about their deaths immediately.

    This sadly happened twice today for me: Bonnie Tyler and EZFG

    The comments can also inform you about … other things about the artist that you just found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnZ6jnJ2zs8

    Oh man, it’s been a long time but just seeing Niko’s face brought his voice back perfectly in my head

    Filthy Frank made a video about the “born in the wrong generation” part 11 years ago, fun to see that’s still an ongoing thing
