    The movie shown is "Metropolis", released in 1927, was a German science-fiction silent film directed by Fritz Lang. This was the first movie depicting a dystopian future.

    I'm 71 , listened to 2525 for many years😉. It's kinda funny how the younger generation is amazed that 2525 is so close to truth! As growing up with song and you see the changes happening, try to say no,no no. Don't go there! We do anyway! When do we realize that humans need each other? Everything else doesn't matter, we need to stop trying to make humans and computers, AI, as one! We are separate!

    The only rock act to have their debut single hit #1 and then they never charted again. In the late 60s everyone was watching the future die a slow, ugly death. Check out "Eve of Destruction" from Barry McGuire.

    This is your BEST reaction. I remember when this song came out-I was in high school. My reaction was pretty much the same as yours. But 50 years later I think we are closer to this than I would have believed! Great stuff. There is a lesson here.

    been looking forward to you doing this one. the scary thing is, it only took 60 years instead of the 500 years they predicted ! test tube babies are already here. funny story, i was out at the end of last year and a group of lads went past me on motorized scooters and this song came to mind, your legs got nothing to do, some machines doing that for you !

    The subtext that is implied in this song is that we are in a cycle of rebirth and death. The last words before the song begins again says that very thing. I was 10 years old when this song came out. Only as an adult could I see what they were saying. Great song. Check out the song "Games People Play" by Joe South from that same era. I think you'll like it.

    There are already designer test tube babies but only for the elite. You need serious cash and connections for that. I was 8 when this came out and sadly what they "predicted" are things we see happening or about to happen now. Great reaction!

    THIS is an old MASTERPIECE, brotha'. Dystopia of course. How much is real today? Whatever. But one of my favorite lines is "In the year 7510, if God's a-coming He oughta make it by then." Nice. And this is a song that just stays in the mind! Thanks.

    When this song was released, environmentalism had started to move to the forefront for many people. We're still struggling with it and now seeing the impacts of climate change. Where we live in Canada, there are a couple of restaurants that ( I almost humanized them by saying 'who') have robots that serve the orders. Now, human servers accompany it to the table, take the plates from the robot and place them on the table. The robot can carry orders for multiple tables at once, so, I think eventually servers will no longer be required or at least not as many.

    Yeh the whole dystopian futures theme has been around a very long time. It seems like today it is close. But it is gradually happening in a way that we wont even notice it, it will just be normal. Scary ! But as someone else has said, the future has always been scary. Imagine living during the industrial revoloution... the machines are taking over right ?

    I came up in technology of Token Ring, Twin Ax, Novell Networks, AS400 IBM and such. I still have the wiring code of pins 1,2,3,6 for networks and pins 1,2,4,5 for T1 communications. PRI/BRI signaling and such. Now we are into todays technology of phone / data / camera / tv / security all on the same subnet with different bandwidth for devices. Wifi and cellular technology. Heck I still have an old bag phone (first wireless phones) (not in use just in my personal collection). Now with code and AI we are about to just 10 to 20 years in tech in just a few years. My 60 year old mind and body is starting to have a harder time keeping up. Still in tech and keep afloat with the tech but not for long.

    Keep in mind that all of the dystopian footage for this video is from the film METROPOLIS, which was released in 1927. The dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell was written and released in 1948. Our fears of dystopia have been around a very long time, and they aren't going away for very good reasons, unfortunately.

    Love your reactions Shon! If you like reading, I suggest Harlen Ellison i have no mouth and i must scream (7 short stories) I read it when I was your age (guessing). The story that stuck with me the most was about a handful of kids upset that they had to go to 'special ed' to learn reading and math the old fashioned way while almost all of their peers just chose what they wanted to be and had it wired into their brain. I hope that intrigues you to read it to find out the ending.
