these are often entire worlds in themselves. there is tragedy, reflection, love/loss, and nostalgia for a bygone era but generally through a lens of conspicuous consumption. extremely beautiful and dumb at the same time. i love to listen to the song and put myself in the commenter’s emotional mindset at the time of posting. music can deliver in us a wave of emotion out of nowhere and this is truly one of the rawest expressions of that.

Honestly, the most useful type of comments on YouTube. I know sometimes they become obsolete because the artist posts the lyrics on the box description anyways, however there's a trend where they just don't do it any longer or sometimes they post the incorrect lyrics themselves, which makes that tool automatically useless. My last resort, so as not to stop watching the video and googling the lyrics myself, is looking for the comments with the lyrics posted by the most sensitive, caring souls out there, but as of late, I've noticed this particular genre of comments are extinguishing. Sometimes I have to scroll very far down to spot them, meaning people no longer show their appreciation towards these comments (THANKLESS MOUTH BREATHERS) or they simply don't exist 💔

I can rarely explain why I like this video but I’ll try. At this point on the internet there’s a million hours of content that are more realized than this. Oddly satisfying Instagram accounts. Food pics. Made up games on tik tok. But Koki made this in 2006. We were still a few years off from the food pic and people weren’t really being stupid on the internet yet. They were being dumb and they were being idiots but stupidity is like simple and kinda smart and self-aware. The video reminds me of abstract geometric painting with the saturated colors and basic shapes of all the objects. Like I see it the same way I see a Kazmir Malevich or Wassily Kandisky painting. There's a lot of funny sounds too. It's not quite good enough for the "oddly satisfying" instagram standards of today. It’s more like 6 minutes of mundane hypnosis.

the public face of the organization responsible for untold human atrocity. it’s so on-the-nose that it almost feels like satire at times. most of the comments are people looking to join. sometimes i honestly can hardly believe it exists. i wonder who runs it
