She sounds African???????? She's from Canada???? As much as I like their sound I cannot get this out of my head and it stops me from taking them seriously!
If I represent the one that did this to you Then can away the part that represents the thing that scarred you I say, Get up, stand up, get up, stand up, get on it Yessir, I am no longer who you thought this one would be We end up around the mountain that I climb to lose you I said, I said give me the business that business could work through, I say, Ask me but all my wisdom departed
@eyeizboredonutube UNLESS the comment was guileless and honest. That does exist, you know. But then again there's always the jaded approach of yours. I think that might make you a......hipster!
This video is proof that the US Educational system is failing and its all bc the TERRORIST ruined our economy an the TERRORIST made us go kill over a million ppl in Iraq......TERRORIST!
@kokorosyume i agree my tablet music consists with Florence an the machine, Oh land, sia, kimbra, gotye, and Lily Allen. And people are always asking "what are you listing two" or "you have no taste in music" or the most common one "your music is weird" and "why do you listen to white people music". it gets frustratraing and irratates the hell out of me.
im a 4 yr old hamburger and i like this song. I just wish people would be more accepting and realize there's no 'hot dog' or 'burrito' music. it doesn't matter if you're a pizza, orange chicken, baklava...stop being so judgemental omg...im not a hipster god just be quiet and lisen to da tunes no matter the amount of carbs you have!!!
@brhardi48326 You are painfully ignorant about culture and what rhythm is and the fact that you're using being a lesbian, even with a complete lack of knowledge about her personal life, as an insult is quite frankly disgusting. Good luck in life :)
Offended. I like this song. I'm not white. I don't think being white has to do with music preference. Just like how I don't think being black requires someone to like hip-hop/r&b/rap etc. We are who we are. Black/white/purple/yellow/puke green. Our features do not define our personalities. Only people that were truly raised in ignorance can say "definitely stuff white people like."
Also. My boyfriend is white. He hates this kind of music.
I swear I hate to look at the comments section nowadays. I keep thinking I'll see some intelligent banter--NOPE. Same stupid crap about thumbing up a post because "so and so", race, ethnicities, politics,creeds, preferences, Skrillex, and a bunch of other bullshit I don't want to see and hear. Stop trying to create rifts and enjoy the damn music, because some of you seem to miss the point that alot of it is to unite people, not divide them.
@jackblaklover Strictly speaking, I think the first person to watch it was the director, perhaps simultaneously with the editor or editors as the case may be. Nice try, but I'm not convinced.
I won't give away my skin pigmentation because I'm not a bleeding hearted liberal nor have I bought into the notion that skin coloring is important...but I really, really do not get this music at all. I find myself listening to it, though, because I keep thinking I'm going to hear something I can grasp musically. This music is a trip.
I'm Asian and white and I don't mind this stuff but I can't think of many white people that like this type of stuff. It's interesting yeah but it's obviously based off of African culture, and it's interpretive art so I guess it's whatever we make it right?
Pretty fresh, and unique, and not a single " Yo, mudduhfuhckuh!" to be heard in the whole song. The "definitely stuff white people like" comment says a lot about pop fans these days, doesn't it?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm a young aspiring musician, and there are times when i just feel down, and i think i'll never make successful music. It's songs like this one that keep me motivated, because i realize no matter how awful my music is, it can't get worse than this!
@coachellaismylife The fact that you are already thinking in such a future tense predisposes you to hipsterdom thus relusting in you being a hipster, which we only allow you to date women with atleast minimal hipster traits. When you finally marry one you will have children who have hipster traits (lol implying that opinions are transferable through genetics) and they will end up dating her children which will result in the ultimate hipster race being your grandchildren.
I'm a 15 year old black female and I like this song. I'm SO SICK of people pigeonholing eachother. SO WHAT if i like this song am i white now,a hipster or a rich person? No God, people are so small and closed-minded. Stop trying to put people down, do you feel better creating societal groups to 'rise above' its stupid and It makes you sound stupid. SO SHUT UP!
There is so much about this video that represents being able to do whatever the hell you feel like doing when you want to do it. Especially if you're an artist. If you want to make a ridiculous face, and dance around like a maniac, just do it.
@Thefreeprideparade brhardi48326's right and this videos evidence... white people like other cultures & styles. some call it culture vultures, I call it fun.
This is the first music video I have seen in 30 years that used normal looking people.
