    No joke, I am citing this skit in my final essay in my Music History Class. I'm using it to draw a parallel between the great divide of modernism versus mainstream during the 20th century and the contemporary basic versus hipster cultural debate. They are basically the same arguments, and my essay basically takes the position of Brennan's character in this skit. You can like what you like. If listening to 4 and a half minutes of white noise is what you want to consider the pinnacle of art, more power to you. But when you look down on other people for wanting something a little more accessible, you prove yourself a hypocrite and an elitist. Am I taking this skit way too seriously? absolutely. But there are genuinely some beautiful bits of rhetoric in this that I think would be plagiarism not to disclose where I found it.

      You’re right about not judging individuals for their taste, but there is a strong argument there has been a massive increase in the homogeneity of music since the US government lifted the limits on how many stations a company could own back in the 90s and Clearchannel went on a buying spree. So there is an underlying problem in a decline in music diversity, but it’s not due to peoples tastes being basic or anything like that

      @@LittleRedWhine I disagree, there is a moment in the song where the subject is given more depth, but the vast majority of the song is making fun of a woman for being basic. "Some random quote from Lord of the Rings, incorrectly attributed to Martin Luther King"- that's straight up just implying the woman is stupid. This is coupled with the video in which Bo Burnam holds a cup with 'Beyoncé is my spirit animal' on it, and wears culturally appropriative feathers- she is the target of the joke. We are meant to think that she's dumb, "incredibly derivative". It's nothing more than a white man making fun of a white woman, and hoping the "white" part disguises his misogyny.

People are basic for liking basic things BECAUSE they are basic - and that's bad. Not evil, not scornworthy, but it means that people would rather go with the flow than think for themselves.

      ​@@DrZaius3141 I'd argue liking basic things goes deeper than that, it's the safest path toward social acceptance. Liking "travel, music, and pizza" are introductory aspects about a personality that will ease people into getting to know you. So we shouldn't be so quick to judge.

      @@DrZaius3141 - I'll take this a step further still. It's okay to like something basic because someone else likes it. It's entirely possible to not enjoy something, but enjoy the act of interacting with people via that thing you aren't really into.
      The ONLY problem is if A) you reject something because it isn't basic, and/or B) if you claim to like something basic when you genuinely don't enjoy it, just for social acceptance, and/or C) if you have absolutely nothing "non-basic" in your interests. This last one isn't a deal breaker, it's just that people aren't all the same, so if you don't have ANYTHING that you like that's unpopular, it may mean you haven't devoted enough time/energy into understanding and exploring your own interests while being genuine with yourself about those interests.

    Honestly this changed my entire perspective on "basic" people. While no video can magically make me like Taylor Swift, this made me a bit more comfortable with the fact that autumn colors are fuckin relaxing and the vanilla colors of lights, and scents of candles, are amazing.

      "by nature easily likable" translates to: I don't need to think much to like them. Yay, isn't being a zombie fun?

      Why are you such a killjoy like dude we get it you're so original and creative! What do you want a gold 🌟 or is that too basic too? People can enjoy comfortable and simplistic things as much as the eccentric ones it's not an impossibility.

    • @apolloptx
      @apolloptx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      See, you miss the point completely. Non-basic things aren't "eccentric", they just take one more atom of brainpower to enjoy and understand. But even that is too much for the crowds of sleep-walking corpses. Being basic is just being an uncultured waste of space with no drive of your own, and it absolutely means you're living a sub-par version of life, and most likely don't even know it.

    • @dulcemuniz1239
      @dulcemuniz1239 6 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      Apollo Alexandre no it is you who missed the point you can enjoy both the "basic" and the original out of the norm things it's not impossible. And just bc you don't like something doesn't mean you have to ruin for others, your not better than everyone else.

    • @apolloptx
      @apolloptx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Being basic and enjoying basic shit means you're not getting exposed to good shit, and are likely not even aware it exists. So no, your point is bullshit. I'm not ruining anything for others, in fact I want to help them actually live a decent fucking life, where they're aware of the world around them, and have some basic culture and dignity and individuality.
      No, I'm not better than everyone else, just better than most.
