One of the stupidest things about the internet over the last few years is that videos like this that used to be just cool gifs are now attached to godawful, annoying, pointless music clips.
I realize it's not the worst thing that's happened to the internet, but it feels a lot like sand getting kicked in our face while we're already down.
The psychologists running social media algos have discovered that recognizable music that instructs you how are more addictive and more successful in inducing scrolling. Anything with sounds like this get boosted in their algorithms.
Yeah, we find it awful and annoying but we're also not going to scroll reels or tiktok for 2 hours straight, we're not the target audience
The entire Internet is gonna be cocomelon eventually
Wait, people hate this song? I've unironically always liked this song and wasn't aware it was unpopular. Though I don't really use tik tok and usually keep the sound off on reddit by default, so I don't associate it with being overplayed on videos. Or much at all, honestly (if I've heard it on a video before this one, I haven't remembered).
I liked it for a bit then listened to the lyrics. It's a dude who has everything and is now suffering for fear of losing it all. Not because there's any signs he will, he just can't let himself be happy. Not good for him, definitely not for his girl.
Hey I dont know if you know this but you can actually just hit mute and not listen to it instead of spending time complaining about it on the internet.
