Homeless at 22, walking all over my home town, no money, nothing. This song, haha! Very fun... Still homeless, but in Seattle! And in shelters with my dog. Free food and grunge revival on its way. Life is fun and worth it. Yheeee-Hwooo!!
@@CrashDummy51Damn, love you man, that's the mindset. Life's not about money, happiness or sex; it's about living an interesting life, about experiencing existance.
I came to this song with nostalgia in mind and I saw this comment. Your situation may not be the same, but I suffered with addiction for years and was homeless in Atlantic City, Allentown, Paterson, worst cities on the east coast. But I'm 27 now and THRIVING. You can do whatever you believe you can. You got this. And if your thing is music. Don't ever give up. Ever.@@CrashDummy51
Such a great sounding song with such a sad backdrop . Rest easy my friend. Still listening in 2024. People never forget timeless music memories. This was one of many for me.🫡✌️
I was born in 1956 and think Beck and his "Loser" lyrics are BRILLIANT. Listen and you'll SEE the images/messages of truth and reality within Beck's subtle, ironic metaphors." You can't WRITE if you CAN"T RELATE." is genius ~ just "GO CRAZY with the CHEEZ-WHIZ!"
"Slacker my ass. I mean, I never had any slack. I was working a $4-an-hour job trying to stay alive. That slacker stuff is for people who have the time to be depressed about everything." -Beck
Baaaaaahahahaha!!! I started out working at $3.35/hr... When I made it to 4 bucks I thought I was on top of the world... Look how far we've come since back in the day... Never slack and keep dreaming big ❤❤❤
I started out at 1.60 an hour. But gas was 28 cents a gallon, and you could buy 5 gallons of gas for one hours pay. Today, one hour of working at minimum wage gets you only about two gallons or less or gas.
Rita Dougherty we havent come far.. the minimum wage is still shitty. In fact it might be worse because the value of the dollar keeps going down while cost of living is more expensive than it’s literally ever been... Boomers...clueless
***** how is that disrespectful? She's not an artist. She's has teams of people writing her lyrics, making her beats, editing, producing, mixing all she does is sing. I'm sorry but I don't consider someone who does nothing an artist
If you think they're nonsense you weren't listening. If you don't think less talented artists get away with more nonsensical lyrics, then you're not paying attention.
so you're supposed to be aware of songs that got popular when you were a literal baby or about to be born? Whoops sorry call the 90's police I didn't know who he was because I wasn't fucking born yet but that doesn't mean I'm not a 90's kid magically.
HystericSky if you brag about being a nineties baby but where a baby or too little to remember anything from the nineties, than no your not a nineties baby. Wait ten years when everyone becomes nostalgic of the 2000s and claim that decade.
@@FletcherWilbury you hear the dun dun dun dun dun done sorta slide guitar sound but then also a twang twang twangy wtang high pitched sound joins in... That's a sitar :)
I love the lyrics lmao, this song just goes to show that all you need is a good melody and beat and everything will be fine, songs don't have to have a point
he was making fun of songs at the time like pepper by the butthole surfers ,only he just threw the words together to be silly and they actually didnt mean anything deep lol
hipster is a term to describe the teenage rebels that started shaking their hips at the devilish rock n roll music, and the worst figurehead named Elvis and his evil ''hipshaking''. *conservative america's reaction to RnR in the 50ies XD
there was NO fucking hipsters or that much of stemps to stick on it was just beeing who the hell you are :) and Eels, and Fun lovin criminals and on and on...James....Cake...
Crystal Endera Yeah, if Generation X had an anthem, this was it. Not "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which is an amazing song in its own right, but "Loser" encapsulates that era perfectly, better than any other song.
a lovely little song Beck made out of anger when he realized most only remember the chorus of a song so he made the song weird on purpose so people who sing to a chorus would sing how much of a loser they are
You've got more women in 2019 doing emo and weird and stuff. Always used to be men. But now we got things like Killing Eve, female psychopaths and completely cool edgy difficult women like Eve Polastri and Villanelle. I remember a woman once quoted as saying she felt jealous of a male character (Blake's 7's Avon) because as a man he could be eccentric and remote and difficult and arrogant and icy..and still be sexy and desirable, and she couldn't but now this kind of thing is cool for women. There will be a female Beck soon if there isnt already.
@@SesameR7sh Maybe it wasn't so prominent in pop culture back then (especially mainstream) but there was definitely plenty of eccentric and women like you described back then but we just weren't as aware since regular people( not celebs)couldn't share themselves like today with social media. So much so that personally I think its gotten kind of old and played out by now. But that could just be my experience
Guys I remember exactly where I was when I saw this video/heard the song for the first time. Even as an early teen I was picky about music and very proud of my sensibilities. This thing blew me away and still does
I woke up this morning to find 124 photos from this in my phone gallery without ever having seen this video before... It turns out that I had rolled onto my phone in my sleep and was taking screenshots for 45 minutes straight while constantly rewinding the video. Quite the confusing morning.
I was like 13 when this song came on radio. Loved it. Back in time the singer looked like an adult to me... Now he looks like a child hahaha. Anyway great song and great memories.
Briant T I remember those days- I was a smacked out Nirvana fan, like many Gen Xer's But comparing Scientology to someone who drinks a bit too much bad wine is ridiculous. I like a lot of Beck's music, but he's a member of a highly abusive and duplicitous cult and either hasn't got the courage, or possibly insight, to speak out about them, hence my comment.
One of my most difficult moments as a parent happened when my daughter started getting in to music and came to ask me about this song. "What's it about?" Uh . . . Cheez Wiz . . . termites . . . err . . . the quiet desperation which burdens the shared heart of humanity . . . . Maybe better to ask what isn't this song about?
@@nohawk6412 It's not gibberish, it just sounds like it. It's a lyric about a massive lack of faith on one's self, though. Let's look at this lyric; "My time is like a piece of wax falling on a termite that's choking on the splinters." In other words, "My life is excruciating and I'm failing at the very thing I was born to do."
The little toddler girl on the drums probably has a toddler of her own by now, and the old man with a guitar that walked out of the casket is, very likely, back inside one.
umm if the toddler was three and this song is ten years old, then she would be 13 i don’t think someone would be having a baby at thirteen let alone at ten if the baby is 3 years old
@@anne.liese_ This song is from 1993, I distinctly remember this video being on MTV when I was a kid at the time. If this toddler is 3 at the time of the video, she would be 30 years old now. Only five years younger than me. She would have been born in 1990. I was born in 1985. So very likely that she even might have a preteen child and another younger kid at least 2 years younger than the preteen. At most, if she had a child at 18 years old, her child would now be like 12. So no toddlers are present for this then-kid. 1993.... remember that. :)
No Bias Nope. He’s definitely not. He’s a driver and a winner. Things did change. He’s still doing music, though his sound has changed a little to fit the times. But it’s fantastic music all the same, a lot of memorable tunes on his newer albums. His latest album ‘Hyperspace’ was released some time last year (2019) and he’s got a video out for the song “Uneventful Days”. It’s here on RU-vid I think. On his official channel. He also won a Grammy award for his work. I don’t know why Kanye West and others were so upset that he won over Beyonce; Beyonce has won 27 Grammys while Beck only has 7 under his belt. I think it’s his turn to shine at the moment. And this has nothing to do with race because I’m black and don’t consider myself racist or anything like that; I believe that as a poc, I don’t have the luxury to be racist against anybody. As long as a person is nice to me, and isn’t boring lol, I like having friends of all walks of life. I’m not fond of Beyonce’s musical genre but I think she’s pretty cool as a person and I respect her as an artist. I like Beck because he explores so many different genres and has not conformed to just one. I even bought a shirt recently that has a picture of two turntables and one microphone... if you can guess what song it’s from, you get a cookie!
This song should've been featured in Napoleon Dynamite. It's so deadpan just like Napoleon and Pedro, it would have fit in perfectly on the soundtrack. A great missed opportunity.
I always think about stuff like that. I have been waiting for almost 20 years for some movie producer to pair the song "Down With Sickness" by Disturbed with a menacing revenge montage in an action movie. There are also like 2 or 3 Linkin Park songs that would be absolute fire with the right scene in a movie
