Can ww3 happen already so the world is reduced to ash and I don’t have to hear this shit anymore

It’s not a particularly memorable cover but it really completes my 13yo self’s favorite scene in a movie, Jason Biggs with the glue in American Pie 2…
Well observed! If you care to be more specific about it, it’s a music video from a time, and a place, made by a situated people with particular characteristics. It isn’t some unsituated thing that occupies a nowhere in notime by a universal human
Lmao
what in the fuck does this even mean
like obviously it’s because they’re suburban white guys or something, but ostensibly is he begging for more videos filmed in someone’s suburban backyard or what
incredible
People used to do weird pop-punk covers of Michael Jackson songs on every street corner back in my day
Now you’ll be lucky to see a Janet Jackson cover
Furiously completing the mandolin track for my Beat Nation bluegrass cover
I wonder what “fun, wholesome things” he wanted to do that the wokes disallowed him from doing.
He wants to listen to music originally produced and performed by black people, but covered by white people.
Move into neighbourhoods without having to tell the neighbours about the list he’s on
Wait until sargon hears what wokesters want to do to bankers and other assorted piggies
When these people say “bankers”, they just mean jews, they do not actually care about what capital does to you if the capitalist falls outside of their to gas list
Kinda, but as nazism is socialism of unwise or whatever that quote goes, its kinda easy to push them (not idealogues, but followers) on this. Bill gates, that opium merchant family, dupont, dimon, buffet
that opium merchant family
The Sacklers, presumably.
yeah
Fair.
The 2000s were garbage and this cover was a terrible one-hit wonder that was mocked relentlessly when it was released
Finally someone who remembers the 2000s for what they were. I swear when I talk to people it’s like they have amnesia. If I could depict the 2000s as an image it would be a hot rod flame Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts. That’s what the 2000s we’re like.
I fucking love cargo shorts. They’re for me to carry things, not for you to look at.
don’t forget the bloodthirst!
lmao yeah i distinctly remember being in Music Appreciation in like 2006 and our teacher playing this & the entire class basically going “wow that was shit!” so it is funny seeing the 180 this cover and Alien Ant Farm in general has gotten
I remember everyone liking it but ok.
The 2000’s and the 1990’s are easily some of the most overrated decades. This age of unchecked American triumphalism produced some of the most mindless consumerism, some of the most cringeworthy music, and some of the most dogshit politics.
You need to have amnesia to be nostalgic for this period.
I was a tiny baby child during the 90s and 00s and should be the prime target for 90s nostalgia. Yeah, sure, I like some 90s stuff, retro games and tech etc. But the culture? Fuck no. I would never god back.
The shit I endured from growing up in that era cannot be stressed enough.

we’re 5 years out from this being the new nostalgia craze
I do not remember any mockery it was well liked in my circles.

I mean. I was in middle school so.
This is what the world looked like before mass immigration
How did immigration prevent any of this?
Widespread racial and gendered guilt activism
You tell non-whites and women they are innately evil and I know damn well you salivate over legalizing honor killings every day
Bankers had totally screwed the economy for their own gain.
You voted for that because they thought they’d save you from gay marriage.
People were just allowed to be themselves, and they did fun, wholesome things for their own sake.
You people think this is the most immoral thing one can do.
Brits: The Americans of Europe.
One of the guys is the son of an illegal immigrant, so immigration was really necessary to make this
You voted for that because they thought they’d save you from gay marriage.
Let’s face it, “bankers” is probably just an antisemitic dogwhistle.
“If you don’t like bankers, why don’t we just nationalize the banks then?”
“Oh… oh no, I meant (((((((bankers))))))))”
“I see…”
2001
before “mass immigration”
When you understand the passage of time.
Woke culture ruined being a white fratboy looking mother fucker.
People were allowed to be themselves, and they did fun, wholesome things for their own sake
Such as paying homeless people to compete in amateur bloodsports on film and causing trauma to friends testicles for clout and whatever the hell “wholesome” shenanigans Tom Green was getting up to at the time.
Come on jackass isn’t on the same level as bum fights
Neither is Tom Green lol what the fuck is this guy on about
Weren’t there entire talk shows designed to make the black community seem like a bunch of single moms who don’t know who the baby daddy is?
Wasn’t there an “expose your tits, possibly underage girls” video series?
Hasn’t most news been “America good foreign bad” since like, well always I guess?
Point is, there are much better examples to go along with Bumfights than “Stunts and Pranks” and “Man behaves abnormally to confuse people”
What did Tom Green do to OP 🥲
Tom Green was pretty famous for basically torturing and publicly humiliating his parents [NSFW]. My comment wasn’t saying “these three things are equivalent”, it was saying “these three things are examples of what was extremely popular at the time and none of them are wholesome”.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I’m just saying that there’s plenty of examples of people doing non-wholesome things which were extremely popular in the same year that this song dropped, I’m not saying that these are all equivalent.
Leftists made it illegal for guys to be dudes
I like the cover
it’s a good cover!
Music videos from that era were actually very good. Michel gondry did a lot of cool stuff around then
Alien Ant Farm would be canceled today for being white, just white alone. FOLKS
I never listened to them much except that sick smooth criminal video, I was going to find woke lyrics to quote to show how they were always woke but damn, their lyrics are really not great and basically just whining about relationships from what I have skimmed
I always tough they were posers if they needed a cover for their first hit.
Alien Ant Farm, Orgy, The Ataris…having a cover as your first hit seems like a surefire way to a dead end career.

Nah, having a cover of your first album is still pretty poser.
The Clash had a cover on their first album (Police & Thieves), and if you count the North American release they had a second one (I Fought The Law).
the year is 2024 and persons of pallor are barred from making music, music videos, or any type of artform.
You may not like it, but American Pie style college comedy movies are actually where US culture peaked
On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.
I’ve always been saying this
Sum 41, Blink 182, American Pie, Van Wilder, Smash Mouth, Super Troopers, all had basically the same vibe
Probably 100 other things I could add to this listYou’re right, I don’t like it lol
