Old heads 1st time REACTION to REN - What You Want & 1990s! This brought us back haha 

Of course you are not offended. No one is offended. No one is even pretending to be offended. People who constantly brag about not being ''woke'', love to project other people's ''wokeness'' with no evidence. They love to say ''I'm not allowed to say this but...'' or ''I'm probably gonna get cancelled for saying this but...'' when in reality no one gives a shit what they say or think, and they know it. They WISH people would object. It's just them acting important and trying to come off as rebellious and brave with no personal risk. Even assuming women are going to object to what they say just because they are women, is to accuse women of being naturally unreasonable and whiney. I don't know a single women who cares. Some men just like to pretend they do just to appear edgy. That''s kinda what's happening in this reaction. Outside of half a dozen ideologue feminists, women are pretty reasonable, in my experience, but that doesn't suit some men's narrative.

@@emdiar6588 Don’t do it myself (although sometimes I’m tempted), but I have seen women (tongue-in-cheek) pretend to be offended, just because it seems to make a certain kind of man feel like he’s bravely pushing the boundaries. Makes the man/ men happy, and you can have a good laugh about it afterwards. Win, win, I say.

I DO care about misogyny, because it does matter. But I don’t whine about it. I don’t catch a whiff of it here. Y’all are solid.

I'm 62 and I always thought rap should have ended after Grandmaster flash (with the possible exception of Eminem's early stuff). Then Hi Ren popped up in my news feed and now Im hooked on him. I think I always saw rap as being the same inane, monotonous, repetitive drivel full of constant references to n*gg*rs, hoes and popping caps in bottoms. Ren's rapping is a totally different beast, with meaningful, deep lyrics, and amazing beats. Now I am learning to appreciate the genre, if Ren has a genre apart from being Ren.

Totally agree with you, loved Grandmaster Flash and that era of music/rap, the music made sense, you could understand every word. Rens music is so unique and meaningful, perfect voice, great guitarist, writer, actor, he’s got it all! And yes I’m nearing 60, and my husband who thinks the same is 62!

I’m 63 and got in to reaction videos during the pandemic cuz I loved that the younger generation is listening to my generation of music from the 70’s and 80’s. Then I came across REN about a year ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. This guy has a rare talent that I haven’t seen in decades.

I’m 62 floyd, Bowie, T Rex, R&B soul, & many other genres except Rap, until I saw a Ren video of him busking, jumped down the Ren rabbit hole, now because of Ren, I’m listening to NF, Tom Mc Donald, Dax, it all started with Ren, reminds me of how I felt when I first saw Sparks, he has re ignited my passion for music, crazy how so many of us oldies love his music. Talent is Talent, we have lived through enough decades of music, to recognise genius when we hear & see it. X

I absolutely love this thread of comments ❤

It would be like a RENaissance Faire

There is a RU-vidr - ItsHanna - that put up a 3 or 4 year old Ren concert. It is Chincilla, Ren doing Jenny and Screech, Ren with Sam Tompkins, then Ren with the Big Push.

Yeah we also did that in the 70's , and there is an expression " everything old is new again " . Granted technology (social media ) has changed the game .

@@adrienne1958l Yeah true:)

i miss them, for me at 38... there's a distinct line which before everything was warm and fuzzy and after everything is uptight and bleak. The line was September 11th, 2001.

​@@moodswinggaming2972100% agree with you. I lived in NYC on 9/11. I was 19. That was the day my youth ended. Since then, my world has been much darker. I've never been the same. Ren brings light for me. I'm telling you, he's saving lives.

Touche'

Wheatus-teenage dirtbag. What a banger!!!

Yesss!

There's way more than two words there, mister.

You are correct. I counted over 30 words in his comment.

Haha, funny trolls. The 2 words were 'animal flow'

Can't a guy be buzzing for a new track without self-righteous asshats jumping on a thread pointing out the obvious?

@@subkang right! I got 32.

He usually says the original artists name within the track too, like on Losing It the last thing he says is “Fisher”. And in “right here, right now” he’s says something about “fat boy slim on the track” he also does a retake on Bittersweet Symphony and one of the members of the ordinal band. (Sy from The Verve) sent Ren a guitar :)

I can think of the following "Re-Takes".. Foo Fighters, All My Life Re-Take Subtrkt, Wildfire Re-Take Fatboy Slim, Praise You Re-Take Fisher, Losing it Re-Take Verve, Bittersweet Symphony Re-Take

I have to argue that the 70s was the BEST !

RU-vid offered up a live concert the Big Push put on before Ren left for Canada. It was great-wish I could have been there. Maybe you guys can find it. I don’t remember who made it.

65 here and agree with you. Yes, the Beatles had long hair by the 1960s standards, lol.

Well said! The word everyone is looking for is "pastiche": /paˈstiːʃ/ noun an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period. In this context, I like to point out the filthy bass and the jazz flute. Both iconic BB sound scape.

Nice to meet you!” “Oh that’s great man…”

Same here. 1970 was a great year. I miss the 70s.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yes

That would be 👌Perfect!

😂🙌🏽

Loved that part. I saw the interview with Ren they asked if he was still blocked. His little laughs and smiles was so cute.

@@ms.lisamarie82 that’s actually the only reason I knew he got blocked haha! He was like “it was just a song…” at that point I hadn’t heard 1990s and I still haven’t heard CH’s song about the 1980s 🤣

That’s hilarious 😹😹😹 Gotta love Ren 😜

😬😂😂😂😂

Same born 85 grew up 90s. Best decade EVER!

84 here, see it the same o7

Dude, I was born in 73, so the 1990s were a decade of memories as I left home in 1990. And discovered music then too. Best decade

born in 85 too, feel ya ! I miss the 90's so much and for me everything after September 11th 2001 is different. Very different.

Xena warrior Princess was my jam as a kid lol

Xena :)

Might have something to do with that every one was taking Exctasy 😂

@@maximus6622 WELP NOW WE HAVE THE VERY BAD DEADLY DRUGS. NO LSD. SAD!!

I was wondering that too, there's also a time at the very end as well. 6:03 pm I think

😂dingdong ditch 😂

A couple years ago my band opened up for J5 and holy shit were they amazing
