Scotty is the kind of guy who will text you "sorry im such an asshole i guess I'll just hate myself forever" after you get in a small argument with him

The only thing I can say for Scotty's music is that when I he started naming anti depressants I realised I'd forgotten to take my meds

"I'm not dabbing on my haters, I'm just hiding my tears" is an amazing line. We need more lyrical masterpieces like this one

i love him going on about all his anti-depressants, which are, y'know, notorious for causing sexual dysfunction, then ranting about his inability to get off. like... bud. my man.

Mr. Bears is the most British-looking non-British person I’ve ever seen

"dabble in music" sir you've made a minecraft parody, that's the big leagues of music production

the "scotty sire" song sounds SO much like he's trying to be 21 pilots. the way hes rapping with the higher voice, the line delivery, the piano, the light tone but dark words, the """deep""" philosophy.... as a former 21p fan it honestly sounds so much like them its insane

I didn't even realize that he was the one who made Mr. Glassman until today. When I was way younger I really loved that song, because it sounded like it came from a broadway musical. This whole time I just thought that the other two songs sucked, then got shook because I really couldn't connect the first two with Mr. Glassman.

The issue with Scotty’s music is that he can’t commit to making it seriously, and has to have a layer of irony in all of them that makes them feel like a RU-vid parody

Why does Scotty reading out the random anti-depressants sound like one of those anti-drug songs that you’d watch in high school??

about a year ago my boyfriend at the time was like, "this is such a good song, listen to the lyrics. its so deep" and proceeded to play a Scotty Sire song while I was driving (he couldn't drive). I just kinda nodded and ignored the fact that it was one of the worst songs id ever heard lol

I have never seen an artist that is so good and so bad at the same time. He can rap fast, he has original ideas when it comes to some of his lyrics, and he seems self aware enough to give it humor. The problem is that he exploits the self awareness too much to the point that it becomes overdone, he doesn’t seem to have a style as of yet, and that can be a good thing when you’re not dealing for fame because you can do whatever you want and experiment, or if you have established yourself as an experimental artist, or even a musician that focuses more on humor (like weird Al yankovik), but the issue here is that he does have a target audience, a level of fame, a reputation, and an expectation, so there is very little room for experimentation unless he was a really really really good musician that knew how to accommodate the expectations with experimentation. He just seems to have too many ideas and ends up mixing too many together and he is not good enough of a musician to know how to execute it the right way.

scotty sire songs are gonna be stuck in my head all week and it's all your fault

Scotty’s music is like twenty one pilots meets bo burnham, with a dash of hobo johnson- executed in the worst way possible.

I always took "I live a good life and pretend that it blows" as sometimes people themselves feel like they are faking being depressed because they have lived relatively good lives. But you can have everything in the world and still have feelings of depression. I know sometimes when my life is going good and I still have those voices in my head saying not so great things I'm like " Maybe I'm just looking for attention, my lives great I can't be depressed" but I am because your emotions don't always reflect your life

“My neighbors called the cops last night because I was crying” that dude probably does have depression, but isn’t aware of how to communicate with the audience. When I heard that line I felt so triggered because something similar happened to me almost two months ago. TW I was about to kms, when a neighbor saw me and called my mother. She entered my room running and dragged me out of the window. I immediately started crying and screaming and at times even laughing because all of those were emotions that I had repressed on my chest for like a year. I’m 18 but I’ve been taking psychiatric medication since I was 14. I don’t feel ashamed, I want people to stop calling mentally ill people slurs, and, as for me, to stop bullying me, stop pointing at me for being the “Borderline” or “The one with the scar arms”. Anyways, I hope one day this world will get better

Second song is basically: So why do good girls like bad guys? I’ve had this question for a really long time. I’ll be the bad boy and it’s plain to see, so why do good girls fall in love with me 😔✌️

Scotty has the lyrical prose of one of those parody song channels, it would be funny if he wasn’t trying to be sincere

This man really rewrote Mr. Cellophane from Chicago for middle schoolers, that's why it sounds like a musical lol

I love how confident Mr. Beard seems when singing. It makes me feel more confident and makes me really happy.

23:20- I never went to parties until I started youtube and then began going out to LA heavily throughout the course of two years. i just wanna say that every single party i ever managed to go to, no matter who was throwing it, scotty was there 💀💀

I feel like he’s trying to copy one of Eminem’s character voices, don’t think its working though.

today i had a doctors appointment, the nurse discussed with me different antidepressants i could take additionally for anxiety. she said, "there's ones like zoloft, prozac... lexapro..." i silently lost my mind. word for word man. that's insane.

I’m just imagining the neighbors dialing 911 and just being like “hey Scotty is being a little bitch again”

I think what Scotty was *trying* to say with My Life Sucks, was that his life is good and he has every reason to be happy, but he's still got depression and feels like he needs to *pretend* that his life sucks, because he doesn't want to acknowledge that people with good lives can *still* suffer from depression. I think this is actually a relatable topic to a lot of people, but he does such a piss poor fucking job at getting that message across that the song is just complete and absolute trash

millennials took the L with this.. this song has so much buzzfeed author energy

I had a phase where I was absolutely obsessed with Scotty's music (despite never watching David a day in my life) and I never realized how bad his music really is until I watched this

Can we talk about how “erectile depression” is a GENIUS phrase?

i really love the lyrical genius put into the song such as "treating women nice is what broke my shlong" it's as if shakespeare and bethtoven collabed

omg he became a fragrance influencer

Coming back again to say this literally might be mine and my bfs favourite video ever. It just hits so good. We watch it like at least weekly

“Got the Kohl’s type beat going” killed me😂😂

The fact that he made a whole song basically saying how nice of a guy he is, makes me think he’s probably not that nice of a guy 😬

The only thing I remember about Scotty from my cursed time when I watched David Dobrik was he was the "depressed friend" so they could make sui**de jokes. So he basically has taken that persona and ran with it... For way too long.

21:28 so true, a friend of mine threw a little farm festival recently and one of the best acts was this jazzy funky dude with just a mic, a keyboard, a guitar, and a loop pedal. I asked my friend what the guys name was and he was like “he doesn’t even make music for real, i met this dude on xbox live and he would just shred in his room by himself" lol

Nick’s dancing at @26:23 is sending me

The second song is like he heard “nice guys” by Chester See but didn’t understand it was comedy and felt very inspired

I used to unironically listen to “sad song” and I have never been more embarrassed of anything literally ever

i've watched this so many times and whenever Mr. Beard goes "he's really soft-spoken~" i laugh every time.

literally scotty was like being sad is my whole personality lmaoo

Back when I was on Prozac it caused me to have Kanye level manic episodes and I really wanna just give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume that this whole song is the product of being on a *little* too much Prozac

Not sure why he thinks “I sit still on a couch while things happen around me” is the best formula for any music video

"Repeating the song name makes it better" I Get Around by the Beach Boys: 😎

When I heard his Nice Guy song, I was perplexed because I couldn't pin down whether not it was Satire. But in the end, I thought to myself "this song is satirical genius. Nobody could say these dumb things and take it seriously!'' Seeing this video makes me want to eat any praise I had of this guy, seeing he might as well BE one of those guys

“We’re here today because we’re both music boys”

ryan beard AND a TINY WHITEBOARD in one video???? this is the best monday i've had all week

Scotty’s music sounds like when you’d write music with your cousins in one hour to show your family on a holiday

I honestly quite like Mr. Glass Man. I think partially because its got an animation, but it also felt more genuine and better written than everything else I've seen.

Singing the brands of antidepressants is the most American thing I've ever heard

As someone who did choir for 12 years, I have to say that his falsetto is abysmal. In fact his whole voice is just not good. He’s very throaty and nasally at the same time which I didn’t know was possible.

i am absolutely obsessed with nicks dance moves,,,, i cant stop thinking about them,,,,,,

"I've never been to a party" *He says as he sits in the middle of a party*

I’m happy we’re finally talking about this. My ex used to play his music pretty often and I never wanted to be rude and call it out or say it was awful, but man his music is bad.

I used to listen to mister glassman in middle school and thought it was really relatable…so now you know who it’s written for

Okay, my take on this is... his music could have actually been good if he wrote better lyrics. The mixing was decent, the rhythms were actually pretty nice to listen to, like he could have gotten into the music scene if he just didn't write like a goddamn incel. Writing about depression is great, it's wonderful to see men talk about their feelings and depression, but telling everyone listening that nothing matters and self-medicating by becoming an alcoholic and diabetic isn't something to be proud of. And him talking shit about his sexual performance, especially when he literally admits to everyone online that he disappoints his girlfriend, that's just the cringiest thing ever. If you want to talk about your sex life in a song, just be confident about it. Don't be gross, don't be sad and cringey, just be confident in maybe 2 or 3 lines and leave it for the rest of the song. Ugh. I guess what I mean is, talking about depression and struggle is fine. But don't fucking complain to the internet. It's tacky and makes you sound like a child. Which he is. He's a 14yo stuck in a 25yo body and lots of bad habits

i was fully sobbing so i tried distracting myself w this video and i actually laughed tysm 🙌🙌🙌

I've kinda realised how Scotty's target audience is probably middle/high-schoolers after having gotten older lmao

Step 1: Rap like you’re from epic rap battles of history

I actually like their voices. I didn't think nick had such a good singing voice but its actually really satisfying

i actually wanted to talk about this as someone who used to make pmv animations like the one in the video. sometimes, when you upload a pmv, youtube crops the video weird (this is why you'll see a cutoff prevention at the end of some animations) and it will throw off the sync between the animation and the music. this or sometimes animators will have a hard time syncing the typography to the lyrics because it's hard to put together projects like this in some softwares. so yea it's not the animators fault at all and im glad they were so respectful about it :)

I didn’t know who this person Scotty was, I didn’t like their music, but now I like whiskey burning my Oreos. Classic lose-win

This Scotty dude gives me “guy who graduated high school 5 years ago but has a chin strap & goes to every party still” vibes

Literally the only thing I remember about Scotty’s music is KelseyAnimated’s old animatics with the music and I didn’t even know it was him back then. He’s a pretty unmemorable guy and it just shows how the internet treats mediocrity like gold because of circumstance and luck. You say one somewhat funny thing and suddenly you’re viral and can never make anything bad.

i used to love these songs in like 2016-17 when being sad was seemingly trendy and relatable

Wasn't ready for Scotty sire to come with the radical anti psychiatry takes

I can relate 100% to Mr. Glass man. I had severe social anxiety in school and it made me sit at the back of the class and even though I couldn't keep up with the notes, the thought of failing the class seemed less scary than asking the teacher to repeat anything. That said, I've heard way better songs about social anxiety.

I feel like i can almost relate to the Glass Man song in some parts but Scottie just drops the ball. It seems to go from “oh maybe he has learning disabilities like me” to “oh, what’s going on? Is he calling himself a loser again? Great.”

scotty’s sad song thing was my jam in 2018 i STILL have that shit memorised..

E R E C T I L E D E P R E S S I O N

Me: Mom, can we get AJR? Mom: We have AJR at home. AJR at home:

Is "Sad Song" kinda a cheap clout grab? yes. Does my inner depressed 8th-grade self ALWAYS bop to it? YES (also definitely check out the animator of Mr. Glassman, Kelsey Animated, she's genuinely really cool and talented)

I always thought the hook of my life sucks meant everything in his life is fundamentally okay but he’s still depressed so he feels like he’s gotta be faking/pretending being sad. I won’t give him that much credit, fuck Scotty tho the song is trash lol

its insane to me that your satire song has better flow and lyrics then scottys music that was supposed to be taken seriously

I know the end song was a joke, but I love the concept of someone having an entire choir that's the same person.

this video & song & collab is so iconic i love it, my comfort video

Scott sire isn't satire? He's on my playlist with Danny and TMG, I thought it was all a joke 😭

‘Kohl’s commercial type beat’ is a godlike roast

Dude I won’t lie, the line “I’m a nice guy, so I’m tryna finish last ;)” would be a funny ass line to drop if the one saying it wasn’t Scotty Sire.

Girl with OCD, severe social anxiety, Autism, and a history of depression here and honestly, WTF were these songs. All his songs are about depression but then he just talks about being sad about random superficial stuff that a lot of people get frustrated/sad about.. Like, it is probably fake and just trying to be “relatable” but most people that have anxiety are probably going to take there medicine so they have some relief. That’s not to say that some people’s disorders won't lead to refusing to take medicine (someone I know has a sibling who has paranoid schizophrenia who stops taking his medicine and starts to self medicate) but as someone who’s dealt with severe anxiety my whole life it is just extra frustrating to hear this "music." This guys song was just atrocious on so many different levels. Love both of y’all’s channels. Loved your song.

As someone who also has gone through many anti depressants I find Scottys song super stupid. Almost anyone pursing medication for mental health will most likely go through multiple medications till they find their match. It’s something you’re told right away and why it’s important to have appointments with your psychiatrist every 2/3 months (that’s about how long it takes too see full effects for most medications). At the end of the day medication is worth it and though it might take awhile it makes life so much easier to manage

I remember being 14 and thinking Scotty's music was amazing and now I'm not 14

Damn. The day has finally come when some of my favorite content creators roast something that I (used to, but when I was in high school) like lol.

yo I became obsessed with y’all around the same time not too long ago so glad I found this

Nickisnotgreen?? More like… nick.. is.. not..NOT a fragrance influencer

I just wanted to add that on top of just being shit songs, they’re super damaging. As a child I developed very bad chronic depression, and as a teen I was a scotty fan. I remember wondering if I should talk to my psych about going onto meds but remembered the part in his song about how they didn’t work. I ended up delaying going onto my meds for a few years because of this, and without the medicine I needed I ended up nearly being hospitalised multiple times, put myself in dangerous situations, and suffered from extreme suicidal ideation as well as developing a dissociative disorder as a way for my brain to cope. All because his fucking song said meds wouldn’t work. Because I didn’t get the treatment I needed, my brain wasn’t able to develop properly and I now have borderline personality disorder, but was so close to not developing this disorder that had I gotten help before my brain finished maturing, I might not have it. But no, Scotty said antidepressants don’t work and now I have to suffer with bursts of mania and minor delusions. Having been on meds for a number of years now, I can say without a doubt it helps. It takes a while to find the right fix but it works. Not I’m at a point where I’m planning to buy a house and have a kid soon when before I struggled to imagine myself surviving until the end of the week. Update in case anyone worried or was interested: I am safe, and after years of therapy and thriving. The past year since I first wrote this I’ve taken massive strives in my mental and physical health. Doing so well, in fact, that I am reducing my med dosage, working a full time job that I love, and feel secure enough to say my severe depression is in remission. I will always have bad days, but I can now appreciate the good. Life is good and I never thought I’d reach this point. Keep holding on everyone, even if you’re barely holding on by your fingertips, keep pushing through because I promise you, it’s not forever, and you won’t see how fantastic it could be if you let go now. I love you.

This is like if Thriftshop by Macklemore was corporate funded and called Dropship

loving the tim and eric vibes of the mv… truly magnificent

This dude hasn’t moved past like 2015 tumblr vibes

Mr. Glass Man is super reminiscent of Mr. Cellophane from Chicago (the musical) and at first I thought it was a coincidence but then he just straight up started singing in the same style. The rest sound like he listens to too much Hobo Johnson.

Nick dancing in the background kills me every time 😂😂

2:53 “etah leeb ray day rahnj”

Scotty Sire feels like he saw Bo Burnham specials and went “That’s how I want to make music!” And then made worst versions of said songs.

I used to listen to Scotty sire music. I’m so sorry. On my knees apologizing.

What an absolute bop. I know what I'm adding to my fav songs list

I remember listening to "mister glass man" all the time. I literally loved it when I was little. But now when I listen to it later I now realize it wasn't all that amazing lol

Genuine question: why do all of his songs have at least 5 different music styles in each song? It would make more sense if like every song was a different genre but it’s not even that he just makes a mashup with the most unmashable genres. I just want to know if he has an explanation as to why he has subjected his audience (and those unfortunate enough to stumble upon the videos) to this?

this is the quality content I subscribed for

The glass man song is like something I would listen to in like sixth grade because I thought the fact that I was quiet made me edgy

God I’m realizing that I actually enjoyed a lot of his songs without even knowing who tf he was
