Part of me really wants it to be deliberate, like they were purposefully going for alienation, instructing the girls in the video to look as bored and depressed as possible, etc. But I bet they're just idiots who think they've made something awesome.

The video, filmed in a strip clup, "portrays a plasticized version of Hollywood sleaze," and features "additional direction from Prettypuke and Dan Gotti." Gabe from Uzi describes the duo's mission in simple terms: "All the weird kids are taking over."

Don't get me wrong, this is flat-out terrible but how are you guys not desensitized to shit like this by now

"all the weird kids are taking over"
yeah this reads as too earnest and too satisfied with itself to be some sort of deliberate critique.

It totally belongs on this thread once it's got a video.

It's being discussed on the FNM thread, but I actually like it!

I know Nickelback is a super easy target for this kind of thread, but holy fuck, their new album has a song with Flo Rida and it's indescribably bad:

xpost but that "all the weird kids are taking over" line just depresses me more
thinking that you can have it both ways by pretending to critique the misogyny you reinforce = not weird, garden variety hyprocrisy
thinking you can just appropriate anything (in this case, trap) because it's "plastic" and that therefore your shitty version of something gets to be "commentary" about it = not weird, standard operating procedure
treating women like dehumanized props in a fantasy about male power = not weird, numbingly familiar
it's not an interesting Andy Warhol-esque deadpan strategy to be a moron, it's just called being a moron

I mean I know that this thread is for shit that sucks, but man the idea that the people behind that song think that they are in some way "weird" or "different" is just enraging to me in a special way that goes beyond just noticing that their song is bad, like I feel some kind of ethical nausea/vertigo when I imagine how they justify what they're doing to themselves
time to go pet a kitten or something

Hope you're not implying by posting that Austerlitz piece that somehow my dislike of Uzi means that I don't like pop music or am somehow akin to Austerlitz.
I like pop music just fine. I just don't like poorly executed bullshit.
No worries if I'm reading you wrong, just checking.

nah he was trolling a whole bunch of threads with that piece it stems from a dogfight over some BS in another thread. long story.

Yeah, that Attila song was from last year. They do have a new album out this year, though - it's called Guilty Pleasure. I wrote a feature on them for Alternative Press. The singer has a solo album coming out next year sometime. Here's the first single/video:

Outstays its welcome, but better than "Punk Rock 101," and at least not totally underwritten lyrically. Should have mixed up the chorus a bit more, and the video isn't funny enough.

Their follow up single might be worse:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKIPh1w4s18
And also has a blatant "Call Me Maybe" mention.
