Northernlion on the Drops of Jupiter Discourse 

How is he just Larry David?

READ BAUDRILLARD

I had to pause at this moment to just wonder how the hell his brain works that he can come up with such genius perfectly worded sentences off the top of his head. We're not worthy.

Sounds like some Kongos lyrics lmao

look up Pat Finnerty's series called "What makes this song stink?, he's a great musician and he's got a whole video desconstrucitng EXACTLY why "Hey Soul Sister" is an objectively terrible song. I think you'd like it :)

you SUCK. NO TALENT

A REAL SOUL SISTER RESPECTS THE SILENCE!

+2 Holy

YOU’RE FLAT

Greetings, momslammer6990 I’m going to shamelessly steal this and post it in twitch chat 3-5 times because it’s a good enough bit that I feel I might get engagement from NL which will give me a dopamine rush. Thank you, Ultimateo

yeayeayeeeyyeyeyeyaaaeyyyeaaa

Poetic

His version clears

​​@@Miggly NL put more spirit in the parody just by default.

It's obviously a bit, that's why it's called bits and banter

Dude is a pile of ash after that burn

Yeah cus it goes so fucking hard

Probably why it became stock music for youtube midroll ads tbh

Ends the first verse with a sappy declaration about “tonight”

foot stomping and hand clapping as well

Remember when they decided every pop song needed a faux-dubstep breakdown that NEVER went hard

Guy who hates good pop music

Bro has nothing to say and a lot to say at the same time, call that doublethink

TRUE !

Bro when they went on iCarly and we all wanted them to just play the song but instead they plugged their new song that was ass. I think that's when I became the joker

LOL I forgot about that

nuclear level nostalgia for that song

it came out when I was in 8th grade, which is why I hate it

HOLY +2

Tell me, where are your actual human sons? Did you ride the pelaton today, get a diet coke for drinkin’ These plays got me peepothinkin’ And tell me, did you see the post about the man Hearing songs that he can’t stand, and tell me did you agree Librarian, pull up the tweet for me

@@opossumboyo yeah yeah yeah na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na yeah singing like na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na yeah Tell me, did the pog sweep you off your gourd? Did the SAP finally make you bored, Well so will Balatro, one day But tell me, why did straight Joe Biden say he was gay? What was with the tweet that said to stay pegged? I'm just glad for another day, another day of watching the Egg na na na na na, na na na na na...

Librarian spoils us with quality

yesterday's stream was very reminiscent of SAP. he was just doing mindless runs while bantering, it was glorious

The docket always needs 1 autopilot game to allow for this kind of discourse. Reminds me of the old Isaac rants. I still refer to Kanye as an urban poet and philosopher.

2.7 billion views in youtube LMAO

Was the song that made him blow up no?

​@@gamingsuperunno, he had nutting on you, grenade and billionaire before in that order I believe

Yea, I clearly remember hearing that song on the radio.

The hell did you call me?

you have to admire his resolve - a younger northernlion would've succumbed to the flood of WORD WRONG

Younger nl would've saved it for the next week​@@countvondutchessofwestmoor3974

dicktort the discase

Just take it as a sign that the library is now sucessfull enough to attract all kinds of viewers :)

it's just a RU-vid comment meta 🤷🏻‍♀️ Like ppl who insist on correcting grammar, but only when it's in favor of an argument. Otherwise " it's just the Internet " just let it slide

its bots, faake internet theory and stuff

almost as bad as he's bald?? reddit cringe

People have been saying "first" for almost 20 years...so don't expect to stop seeing "you fell off" anytime soon.

3000% real facts. When I left my sheltered household and started exploring more kinds of music, I was flabbergasted at how good the average normal song is compared to the absolute peak Christian music.

@@ActionScripterthe peak of Christian music is timeless masterpieces like Handel’s Messiah. Just cause you listened to contemporary crap doesn’t impact how good some Christian music is

​@ActionScripter Look, you're right, but Days of Elijah BANGS

FACTS

Not contemporary, but I love keith green. For more modern, though not super recent, Atalas is pretty good. Andy Gullahorn is also great, love his album Law of Gravity.

Randy Newman is one of the most important American songwriters to ever live.

@@razorknight92 now lets not get too crazy

@@noahmay7708in the grand scheme of songwriting as an art form specifically in the United States i'd say he's as important as it gets

hell yeah it holds up

i was on board until NL went after my boy. in between dreams is a stone cold classic

No one learns to play _good_ songs on ukulele

@@jetpacktuxedo name a good song, I'll try and learn it so I can truly become no one.

Lilikoi by Paula Fuga

Yeah, the "we should bring back people having nothing to say beyond the most basic version of their preferences" bit at the end seemed silly. Especially because it never went away: people are largely as thoughtless about this stuff as they've ever been.

I'd rather have that completely innocuous small talk than: "How can you NOT absolutely love/hate this piece of media??? It's just that..." *20 minutes of poorly articulated summaries of Twitter discourse and video essay talking points later; my eyes are glazed over, my drink has been empty for ten minutes, I'm looking for any excuse to get outta here* "Haha, yeah, you have a point. Anyway, I'm gonna grab another drink- oh hey! That's my friend over there, I'm gonna say hi. It was nice talking to you, see you around (I will NOT be seeing you around)"

​@@1dr_wall769Have you actually had an interaction like that in real life? I never have tbh

​@@xzxzxccxzcw2028 Nah I just wanted to throw a stray before getting out of bed this morning lmao. In reality, I am a media enjoyer that rants to my friends about how much I love some random ass movie that none of them have seen, like go off, live your life, enjoy whatever and talk about it y'kno At the same time tho I do agree with NL that we should just let people be like "I just vibe with this" or "eh I don't really vibe with this" without necessarily needing further explanation. Some people don't really think about why they like or dislike a thing, they just feel that way and move on with their lives

your opinion is WRONG!!!! It is an 8.625 according to my quantitative classification!!!

Thunder was so bad it made me hate Warriors and Radioactive in retrospect

you couldnt tell by the Imagine Dragon FlowTM on the verse?

My parents had an Imagine Dragons playlist and every time Thunder came on I would start an argument about how it’s the worst song of all time. I’m slightly less of a smarmy POS today but if you play that song in your car I will turn the radio off without your consent. You can play literally anything else, just not that one.

Imagine dragons is not that bad and all of you are reactionaries.

@@americannightmare425 🤓👆

Correct, and I shouldn't have to write a dissertation on why I don't want to listen to it.

fwiw Drops of Jupiter is a completely different style. It's more like classic piano rock a la Billy Joel, Styx, etc. And modern contemporaries like Coldplay and Keane.

nah, disco was authentically gay, which makes it infinitely better than CVScore AI-generated softboy sludge

​@ckorp666 Being gay doesn't make it good my guy

@@ckorp666Truth and disco still bangs idc

@@ckorp666 Camp my beloved

The bit becoming "we should just go back to saying we didn't like things, no reasoning, no complexity" is an incredible full circle

one of the few types of artists that could actually be replaced by AI and noone would notice

gonna guess the woman singing tends to moan a lot too and not even melodic shit I mean high key just, pornographic breathy moaning that takes up at least a quarter of the song for some reason.

Somebody get this man a Bald As Shit hat

No respect for the badness of 50 Ways to Say Goodbye?

I have a high threshold for bland early-mid 00’s adult contemporary music to the point where I actually quite like drops of Jupiter and can stand Hey Soul Sister, but the fact that drive by has the 3 hit combo of “just a shy guy looking for a two ply hefty bag” directly into “to hold my-y-y-y-y-y (6 syllables on ‘my’) love” followed by “they don’t like it sue me, mm the way you do me” pushes it past what I can tolerate.

@@user-on6uf6om7s Honestly, I like that one. It's the only Train song I like.

@@user-on6uf6om7s 50 Ways is so insanely stupid and nonsensical that it loops back around to being good.

@@EviIPaladin It is the sort of novelty song I guess I could imagine my dad listening to but I just don't have the same nostalgia for that song. It's like if "grandma got run over by a reindeer" took itself too seriously.

I think you're loving half the minutes of it
