    It’s the year 1.7×10106. The heat death of the universe is imminent. Still listening to this banger. Modern music sucks - I was born in the wrong generation. Like if you agree.

      The “born at the wrong time” is such a lame comment and I see it a lot on good old music posts. Do they not understand they live in a time where they can listen to the old music AND the new stuff? Good chance if they lived in that last generation they would have been complaining about how all the Smashing Pumpkins or Pink Floyd stuff is awful and wish they’d been jamming out with Gershwin.

        Also, the music from the past we listen to now is only the best of the best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer. There was just as much bad music then, but that is long forgotten. What remains are just the absolute bangers. As a kid I wanted to find some more music similar to the Beatles, and decided the easiest way was to look at the charts from the mid to late 60s and listen to that. Most of it was atrocious.

          Yo, you best stop talking about my 90s music like it’s old. Save that for the 70s and earlier music. You know the stuff that happened before I was born.

        For more on the above phenomenon, watch the movie Midnight In Paris.

        When I was a kid I loved listening to Jimi Hendrix. a lot. I listened to everything I could. For a while I wondered what it must have been like to see Jimi play Monterey. Then I discovered Prince. It turns out I loved Prince even more than I ever loved Jimi Hendrix. It also turns out comparing the two isn’t really fair.

    I hate those comments… I can’t say they’re the most useless garbage out there, but they’re damned close.

      I love scrolling through the nuthouse that is YouTube comments, it’s always so unhinged.

    If it was a small artist this would make sense. Imagine an artist with less then 1000 views on YouTube. It might be interesting to see if they have any superfans still listening

      Shit YouTube comments are usually:

      On a video from PragerU

      “Former President Barak Obama brought me here!”

    I have commented one single time on YouTube (years ago) and it was to thank someone for uploading something that was historic and was not something I had seen before or had been uploaded to YouTube before. And I made sure to make it was more than a “thank you!” I also didn’t expect a response.

    I don’t even respond to people who comment on my own videos.

    This inane shit makes no sense to me.

      How am I stopping anyone from expressing themselves by posting about this on lemmy?

      That seems to be your job.

      In my opinion the problem is the absolute clout chase that is these comments cluttering the comments section. You need to click the video to see the comments, so everyone that sees that comment is clearly listening on or beyond February 2024. It’s just useless.

    Even worse are the comments on old songs, any culture, any language. You’ll always have comments like “I am 13 and I love this music! Modern music bad!”. It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.

      Does it tho?

      Really?

      Why are you so mentally invested in that song and other people’s opinions of it?

        Some people are irrationally angry at everything that anyone young does or likes, because deep down it reminds them of their own mortality and the short span of time we are actually allocated to live life.

        The chorus of: “I’m <insert some usually made up age> and <some asinine comment>”

        I find more obnoxious than the “who’s watching/listening in <bla blah>” comments.

        Broadly speaking I don’t bother looking at comments on youtube, the signal to noise ratio is on the floor.

    Who’s reading this post in 1895? Because I accidentally dropped my phone while time traveling.
