I bet OP won’t pin my comment
Correct.
Charlie says my music is better!
Not even first. Lol
But this was the other comment I was looking for that’s absolutely a waste of space.
NOOOO! I’m first.
It’s the year 1.7×10106. The heat death of the universe is imminent. Still listening to this banger. Modern music sucks - I was born in the wrong generation. Like if you agree.
The “born at the wrong time” is such a lame comment and I see it a lot on good old music posts. Do they not understand they live in a time where they can listen to the old music AND the new stuff? Good chance if they lived in that last generation they would have been complaining about how all the Smashing Pumpkins or Pink Floyd stuff is awful and wish they’d been jamming out with Gershwin.
Also, the music from the past we listen to now is only the best of the best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer. There was just as much bad music then, but that is long forgotten. What remains are just the absolute bangers. As a kid I wanted to find some more music similar to the Beatles, and decided the easiest way was to look at the charts from the mid to late 60s and listen to that. Most of it was atrocious.
best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer.
Yo, you best stop talking about my 90s music like it’s old. Save that for the 70s and earlier music. You know the stuff that happened before I was born.
sorry :)
For more on the above phenomenon, watch the movie Midnight In Paris.
When I was a kid I loved listening to Jimi Hendrix. a lot. I listened to everything I could. For a while I wondered what it must have been like to see Jimi play Monterey. Then I discovered Prince. It turns out I loved Prince even more than I ever loved Jimi Hendrix. It also turns out comparing the two isn’t really fair.
And the weird thing is this was a comment on a Lawrence Welk song.
Most yt comments are mildly infuriating and bring nothing to the table.
I almost wrote this post that way but decided that was too general, but you’re right of course.
I love scrolling through the nuthouse that is YouTube comments, it’s always so unhinged.
Same with the comments on any news site that allows them. It’s like a museum of filth.
I remember being excited when I started seeing those added to news stories, I thought the engagement would really add something to it.
Oh to be young and foolish again…
Even worse are the comments on old songs, any culture, any language. You’ll always have comments like “I am 13 and I love this music! Modern music bad!”. It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.
I solve this by never looking at comments.
There was a browser extension they replaced all the words in yt comments with “bla”. Pretty great stuff.
It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.
Does it tho?
Really?
Why are you so mentally invested in that song and other people’s opinions of it?
Some people are irrationally angry at everything that anyone young does or likes, because deep down it reminds them of their own mortality and the short span of time we are actually allocated to live life.
The good news is, you don’t need your eyes for listening
Now you tell me. I’ve been putting my headphones on my eyes for years and wondering why I couldn’t hear anything.
That sounds like a thinly veiled threat…
Once I see them, it just does something to me.
Plenty of opposites too.
“I am 47 and discovered this thanks to my kids. Not all old people reject modern music”
Its always the music that’s 10 years old
The chorus of: "I’m and "
I find more obnoxious than the "who’s watching/listening in " comments.
Broadly speaking I don’t bother looking at comments on youtube, the signal to noise ratio is on the floor.
Plot twist, the sing came out 5 years ago
True
hyprland pfp!
Who’s reading this post in 1895? Because I accidentally dropped my phone while time traveling.
My AI girlfriend just dictated your post me to in 2049
I hate those comments… I can’t say they’re the most useless garbage out there, but they’re damned close.
who else reading this comment in 2024???
Me! Omg how crazy
Who hates YouTube comments???
Updoots to the left
I just assume these are all from twelve year olds.
Who’s reading this Lemmy post in 2025?
Not me. I’m reading this Lemmy post in browser.
1920x1200 still.
0:07 “Who’s listening in 2024" lol
0:09 “who’s still listening in 2024???” killed me LMAOOOO
Haha, what about March 6 at 10:05am CET? Any changes in the listeners i should be aware of?
On this video, there were two more asking the same question.
Solution (for a lot of the Internet): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shut-up-comment-blocker/
I used to use an addon that would replace YouTube comments with the Reddit comments if the video had been posted there at some point. It was better, but not by much.
Is there a Lemmy equivalent yet?
Had to do a little digging, but it appears there is! Haven’t tried it yet, but the comments seem very positive. https://merv.news/post/644180
HEY, THAT’S ME!! I’M LISTENING TO THIS IN 2024!!! How did they know??? Holy shit!! Like like like!!
Prolly bots right? I really don’t think there are so many actual people in the world who think about commenting that.
I bet 50 these comments will disappear when LLMs become cheap af to run en masse so bots can be more realistic and varied.
Or kids. Most probably kids.
50
why not 5000? I think we may be in for a spot of trouble.

How am I stopping anyone from expressing themselves by posting about this on lemmy?
That seems to be your job.

In my opinion the problem is the absolute clout chase that is these comments cluttering the comments section. You need to click the video to see the comments, so everyone that sees that comment is clearly listening on or beyond February 2024. It’s just useless.
