Re: Pumped Up Kids may be the most overrated song of the past 20 yrs

Yeah, Joost, Ghar-Ghar and I don't watch the VMAs.

You'll have to tell us what Katy Perry was wearing.

I just looked it up and listened... I gotta say, it is pretty cool... Now whether it's cool to like it, I have no idea.

Then I bet that high school band would win the local battle-of-the-bands

Re: Pumped Up Kids may be the most overrated song of the past 20 yrs

I actually have to disagree with mr on this. As pop songs go, I think it's pretty well done. Lyrics are actually somewhat interesting, ostensibly about a school shooting. Try as I might, I can't be angry indie guy about this one :(

don't get me wrong

i'm not saying it sucks, just that i'm tired of all the hype it's gotten

Re: Pumped Up Kids may be the most overrated song of the past 20 yrs

maybe that's the problem... I didn't know it existed until this thread... I listened objectively, and concluded it's catchy and kind of cool.

I like this song. I don't hang out where they would be playing it much though... so that probably helps.

You're going to the wrong bars and parties. Did you get there on a party bus?

I put this on the first .org mix thing, I think? I've never been a huge fan, but I like it and thought some of you kids might, too.

Is this band "Foster the People" worth checking out?

Dude, even your disses are references to pre-pubescent pop-rock singers. Get your self together, man. Go to the Yellow Rose. First three dances are on McHott.

Agreed... I only just found out what this song is/who sings it, but it always annoyed me at the bars. Like... it never struck me that "smart people" thought it was good. Figured it was just on the tired playlist at the admittedly douchey bars I attend.

The Wiggles covered it? I heard the song is about gangstas robbing kids with nice shoes at gun point.

Either way i never liked Foster the People and wish the would go away. When will electro-pop go away? At least MGMT aren't all over the place anymore.

Ha... yeah, smart people meaning smart hipster types. Or as smart as I find myself hanging out with.

Re: Pumped Up Kids may be the most overrated song of the past 20 yrs

As far as I know, the Wiggles have not covered this song. What I said was a bit of humor aimed at Ely, who seemed to catch onto the song a bit late.

You know, the old, 'I only hear kids music now' joke.
