Tachyons are hypothetical particles that move faster than light, not just a Death Grips song. Also Death Grips are the most mainstream underground band in modern music, so I wouldn’t call it “obscure” per se

Hilo Takenaka all due respect, I have never heard of death grip before in my 25 years of life, and I actively seek out new music on the reg. just cause they’re popular underground doesn’t mean they’re popular in mainstream, so I think obscure is still fitting

@@hilotakenaka I’d never heard about them before today, but ok

@@hilotakenaka Yeah but they are what MC Ride is explicitly referring to. Hence "Subatomic penetration, rapid fire through your skull." So the two aren't unrelated. Also they did say "obscure pop", which could really be read as meaning the exact same thing as "mainstream underground".

I’m as crushed as you are 😭

You got me watching it again and thats what makes me cackle now xD

You noticing it has made the amount of time it took to sync it up worth it 🥰

@@dimemesion20critposting53 It's a very good edit, you should be very proud

@@dimemesion20critposting53 Extremely good edit, you should certainly feel proud.

I agree I could see him being a Death Grips fan, but to say he's "in character" is a bit weird. He's not a character, he's a whole-ass human being dude

​@@EyebrowsGaming And human beings can do things that are in or out of character. Humans have character. There's even a special kind of witness in legal proceedings that speak on a person's character.

I thought he was just saying pop music is tacky

I feel that.

This either implies death grips *goes* pop or that in the future, death grips IS what pop music sounds likr

@@missingdev0948 I mean In most cyberpunk things pop music is kinda like death grips

Oh no, this is too much power. I can already feel it corrupting me.

@@dimemesion20critposting53 i’m feeling it

At first I read your comment and laughed, but a few days later I have returned to say that I have joined the club as well 😅

saaaame

okay but, before i get myslef into it, what is death grip???!!!!!

I feel it. Sometimes the jokes you make are only for yourself, and you make them just to stay sane.

Alley got it and was looking around the table to see if anyone else did lol

There is something fun about 1 student getting it though when you least expect it

same.

I’ve had multiple comments like this, I feel like it’s too much power for one person to wield

The character was making a nerdy professor pun on pop music being “tacky”

@@tr2747 oh thank you that totally went over my head

There is a song called Takyon by death grips which is what was playing over it and what Brennan was referencing in the joke

Okay so to explain: In real life, tachyons are theoretical particles that move faster than the speed of light, though they're purely hypothetical (that's the very short answer, I am not a scientist, no one @ me over this). In science fiction like Star Trek or Babylon 5, tachyons are often used to explain how space ships travel in hyper speed. In this episode, a professor Brennan is playing is explaining tachyons to a class and makes a teacher joke about how anyone familiar with pop music would already know about tachyons. The song in this vid is the song Takyon (DeathYon) by Death Grips, a song that is about/references tachyons, which I assume this song is what Brennan was referencing, but obv I don't know for sure if that's what he meant.

@@dimemesion20critposting53 thanks! weirdly I knew about tachyons but not death grips

Takyon from Exmilitary

Takyon (Death Yon) by Death Grips

@@KingofRatsGaming Many thanks.

@@cavetrollvillageidiot3095 Yeah baby.

@@thefatheroflies7921 no you stop that 🗞️ bad

Hes calling pop music tacky.. but! This video is referencing death grips- takyon

He's actually referencing an in-universe song in Starstruck called Tag Along With A Tachyon, but Death Grips also have a song called Takyon and that idea was way funnier to me

look up death grips. give it some patience and you will be noided in due time, dear friend

Takyon by Death Grips

@@OtherSideLLC thank you dear friends

More like a comfortable amount

I also thought of Death Grips when I heard the line, but I think it's just saying pop music is tacky.

@@holyhandgrenade3 it is in a far-flung future, so maybe the definition of pop music has shifted

@@RainbowRandolf Music's definitions will change WILDLY in the next 200 years.

@@Westnator probably even something like 50, in 200 for sure

Death Grips being called pop music is some form of emotional damage for sure

Game recognise game 😎

@@dimemesion20critposting53 awww!!😊

The simple answer is: I have no idea if this is what he meant. I don’t believe he’s said anything about it, unless it came up in his recent Reddit AMA. I personally think it seems a bit too coincidental for him to not be referencing this song specifically, but I also certainly wouldn’t argue with anyone who disagreed. Until he one day confirms or denies, the secret of Did Brennan Reference Death Grips in Episode 1 of A Starstruck Odyssey dies with him 😛

@@dimemesion20critposting53 sadly i think this is probably in reference to a fictional song from Starstruck “We’ll Tag Along with a Tachyon”

@@fern5505 aw dang, you’re almost definitely right in that case!
