jesus h fucking christ all mighty
how did this ever happen?
quite funny youtube comments tbf

look forward to everyones future sniping at stuff in the charts

 

[Voley]

I'm going to pretend I like it and sneer at you for being so out of touch.

 

[Voley]

I'd like to think I'd keep it up for a page or two, but I'm flagging a bit already if I'm honest.

 

[killer b]

Its no Morris minor and the majors, that's for sure

 

[Storm Fox]

Can't say I'm a fan.
Hopefully, this is a bit of an antidote:

"playing this extra loud in memory of her maj this evening x"

 

[marshall]

You can hear all the words. It's not a good thing.

When we were young at least they wrote actual tunes. This is just a racket.

 

[tommers]

He's no Pete and Bas, that's for sure.

exactly! why cant they make PROPER music anymore???

 

[ska invita]

Seriously is this getting a-list BBC radio play? Can someone ask one of their children please. I might write a very stern letter if so.

 

[tommers]

Tion Wayne has ruined a perfectly good LaRoux tune as well.

That's when you know you're old, when stuff you still think of as "reasonably recent" is sampled like it's from the Sixties.

Oh and Aitch with Fools Gold, the little toerag.

Youth of today, with their coffee bars and skiffle groups, making me ears bleed, three years in the army would do 'em some good, etc, etc...

 

[ouirdeaux]

Strictly speaking, it's been downhill since Bach, but there have been Moments. This isn't one of them.

 

[platinumsage]

Sounds like the sort of whiny crap the London rappers were doing fifteen years ago tbh. Why have the young people stopped doing new things? Probably all too busy doing twitch on their iphones.

Theres a lot of this stuff about on radio 1 atm - I guess its stuff that gets popular on YouTube and the like with kids and R1 needing to respond to stay relevant. Cf. That Aitch character.

 

[killer b]

47 million plays on this one.

 

[eatmorecheese]

I quite like a lot of contemporary UK rap, but there is an awful amount of shit about tbh. The Central Cee video in the OP reminds me of 'mans not hot' Big Shaq. And that was a parody from five minutes ago. ..

 

[Yossarian]

Do I get bonus fogey points if I say that I hated the stuff in the charts 20 years ago too?

 

[RD2003]

They're just making it up as they go along.

Haha yeah course it is.

Ms Dynamitee (hee)? Sugababes? You absolute fucking wrong un.

 

[ouirdeaux]

Sturgeon's Law.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I've heard far worse records in that style tbh. Some of the lines rhyme with some of the others. How you you can steal such a great pop hook and make it sound so shit I'm not sure, but I guess it's an achievement of sorts.

It's way too old grandad

[Jeff Robinson]

What in actual fuck is this??!!



To my old-man-shaking-fist-at-cloud ears, I don't get tracks like this. The have no energy to work in a club and are too tuneless to listen to at home - so what's the point?

It's just over produced mumbling. Sounds like an advert, well it is, for Amiris, which I know now are trainers that cost £700. I'm not the audience I know but I don't even understand what half of the comments mean.

I'm going to petition the BBC to bring back Top of the Pops just so I can see a geriatric Pans People dancing to that in a flared trouser suit and flowing chiffon scarf
