i'm glad you guys picked up on the symbolism and story right away. too many people thought it was "praising satan" when in fact he was saying "oh you want me to go to hell for being me? then i guess i'll be the king"
He explained in another video what this one meant. Everybody always says that gay people are gonna go to hell. In the video,the garden of Eden,He was tempted by the male snake. He originally tried to run from it then he stopped running from his temptation and gave in to it. Then he was being put on trial for being gay. After they stoned him to death, which really was a butt plug if you go back and look at it, He had 2 choices. Enter heaven where everyone loved him but he was living a lie or he could go to hell where he could be himself. And since everyone says gay people are going to hell he went and he ruled it. It was a place where he could be himself.
Just based on everything I've heard him say about it, I think the story line symbolically follows his own experience in the following sense: He becomes a star due to OTR and then comes out while at the top of the charts. There's a level of flack but also a level of congratulation. But the congratulations at the time were framed in the expectation that he would be a "model" gay, i.e., the sanitized version we frequently see when celebrities typically come out. We now know, of course, that he's pushing against that concept with both feet, and Montero is sort of the big announcement that he has no intention of playing the poster boy.
When he was in chains, they killed him. He was hit in the head with stones. The Angel came to get him when he died but he knew he couldn't be himself there either so he chose hell
This song is just a tongue in cheek response to people who feel it their life’s mission to tell us gays every day and every opportunity that we are abominations headed to hell.
Love this song and lil nas x. As a gay guy it really makes me smile seeing a singer who is out, giving no fucks being who he is open and proud. Wish singers were more open back when i was growing up. As an adult it means a ton to me, so hoping some troubled lgbtqa can see the representation that is out now and not feel so demonized for being them
THANK YOU for this reaction, I've been watching people's reactions to this and it is immediately apparent who the ignorant bigots are and it gives me hope to see two old white dudes knowing all people deserve respect.
My favorite part of Lil Nas X is he is constantly trolling or playing jokes on those who are quick to judge or get outraged. He knows how to push their buttons.
1:58 I’m not sure if you guys got the chance to see it, but the song title and chorus is based off the movie (“Call Me by Your Name”), a stellar movie starring Timothee Chalamet, I’d highly recommend it if you want to melt into the Italian countryside for two hours of young love, just in case you guys didn’t know and are interested!
Yay! Not only is it Friday...but we get a great video from yinz two as well. Thank you!😊 Happy Birth-iversary to my mom! Today she turned 69 years young. I love you mom!🎁🥳🎂🎉💐🥰
Love you guys!! Great reaction once again. I love all your content. The beginning with "banger" thing was sooooo hilarious I had to rewind 3 times. So glad you guys have a TH-cam channel. ❤️😊
What is the old line? "I'd rather RULE in Hell than be a servant in Heaven!!" So that is what I took from the ending... but their interruptation is just as spot on! I thought the video was just OUT THERE and I LOVED IT!!
y'all probably won't see this due to how old this video is, but the reason good songs are called "bangers" is because it's short for headbangers as in songs you can headbang to. Just a fun little bridge between your generation and mine.

*this is my opinion* I think the scene where he is killed at the trial and is being pulled by the angel represents something that I am familiar with as an ex Christian. This is purely based off of what I was taught as the member of an Assemblies of God Pentecostal Church, so it is not the only interpretation. I think he was sent up to heaven, God judged him, and rejected him. In the Bible, people that go to hell don't go directly there. They are first brought to the "Pearly Gates", guarded by Saint Peter.
For me, the pole rising from Hell was an invitation which would explain why it stopped at the front of the Devil's palace. Montero killing Satan allowed the story to come full circle. Montero in the garden, tempted by the serpent (Devil) to reveal his sexuality, once he does he is rejected and killed. Once killed he starts raising to heaven, where the devil fails on his own temptation of wanting Montero, inviting him to enter Hell, which Montero then uses against the Devil who essentially had him killed, allowing Montero to kill the devil to then rule over Hell.
This is about his sexuality (gay) and what society do with that. So first scene is garden of eden where he was seduced by the snake (finding out/ suspecting his sexuality) second scene is a trial during Roman/Greek trials where people would gather in places such as the coliseum, he was stoned to death a very comum payment for people seen as sinners centuries ago (that scene might be seen as him accepting his sexuality and sharing it with others and being punished for it) Last scenario is hell, the place where people say his going since he liked other man, instead of feeling bad about he took over.
Hello guys!!! I’m gonna suggest you to react to 2021 EM UMA MUSICA! It’s a Brazilian TH-camr that does this AMAZING medley of 2021 songs in a very special way! He plays all the instruments and sings it! Btw he’s not a singer!!! You gotta check this one out!!!! Please!
Fine, if you guys won't react to When the Party's Over by Billie Eilish, I'll just have to bribe you by subscribing. I didn't want it to come to this but you've left me no choice.
Would love to see y’all react to some Morgan Wallen. Songs such as Broadway Girls, Whiskey Glasses, or 7 Summers. Wanna see how you guys like some country.
Yah... really unfortunate but it's not done on purpose. It's our first time listening to these songs so it's not always clear when the beat will drop. But we're working on doing better. Thanks for watching!
I just hate lil nas x bcuz his music just randomly went from being kid friendly to all this crazy stuff, but every artist changes ig I just wish I could watch his vidoes without being uncomfortable
@@bubbles3117 idrk if ur being sarcastic or not, but I was raised around people who disagree with his ways it kinda rubbed off on me I'm still getting used to seeing more people like this
@@angelic0ne Well I know what it feels like, strict catholic family and community, but I realized how toxic those can be ab people without actually needing to
I’d say he’s more like one of those artists that builds up a provocative, controversial, larger than life persona to hide the fact that the actual music by itself is as bland as a bowl of white rice.
A gimmick artist whose music sells and charts for a long time. Despite being absent from the public eye and social media for quite a while now, his music sells are only increasing and his music hasn’t left the top 10 of the hot 100 in about a year. A gimmick is someone who uses a trick or device to attract attention for business. Being gay is not a gimmick. If people choose to find him controversial, that’s their business. But there’s no gimmick being executed or performed, other than maybe the satan lap dance. But what he does is done to spark intelligent conversations, sort of like Madonna.
@@ErgoDog There’s something wrong with you. I just explained what a gimmick is to you. I can’t explain it or translate it in any other language. Controversial does not = gimmick. Lil nas x doesn’t put any emphasis on the fact that he’s gay other than the MONTERO song and video, which was a message for gay youth. Other than that, he’s doing what Cardi B does, Rihanna Does and any other male performer does. Just because the media obsesses over his sexuality, doesn’t equate to gimmick. A term you obviously don’t understand. Perhaps the reason society obsesses over his sexuality is because it hasn’t been seen before from a pop superstar. It will calm down eventually, just like the talks of madonnas hyper sexuality calmed down once it became familiar.
Interest thing about the Trial part is that he's being judged for assumed being gay, that's why he's all pink, and the judges are all in blue but they're all "gayish" too like everyone who takes the time to condemn gay ppl are hidding something

He is praising Satan this is all satanic and it's fucked
@@wishtheyunderstoodme he literally killed satan so how would he be "worshipping" him? if someone killed God does that make them Christian????
@@its_joey satan plays tricks like that, it's clearly not the real satan he killed, its just an actor obviously
Yep, glad they picked up it- condemn someone for being different, so you take ownership of that.
@@wishtheyunderstoodme you got really low iq lol
I love how open minded you two are. It's a breath of fresh air 😘
Right I love the dudes their so cool 😎
Same
Not a big fan of his music but I love how rabid he makes the most annoying people. Dude is a boundary pusher and marketing genius
He is giving what people want. A reason to get angry. Smart of him.
I’m the opposite i think his music hit but the videos aren’t it😂
Thank you for reacting to this and being understanding. It's people like you guys that make me feel safe enough to be out and proud and be myself.
That is the sweetest comment. Thank you Anna!

Actually if you look closer it was not a stone.. It was butt plug)
Love this reaction. Never fail and think people of certain ages won't understand 💙
That is such a nice comment! Thank you Danielle.
This song is just a tongue in cheek response to people who feel it their life’s mission to tell us gays every day and every opportunity that we are abominations headed to hell.
The "pulling him up and then sending him down" along with other insights really made me appreciate the symbolism even more.

this video was honestly a FUCKING BANGER
I can’t even lie I laughed so hard when michael just came out and said “I hope we got a BANGER”
The trial is twist on the the story of Samson. Notice as he's brought before his captors in chains, his hair is cut off.
The serpent is temptation, Marie Antoinette is the accused and Satan is the warden of the sentence. The hero has the last laugh and he's Lil Nas X.
This guy seems reeeally cool for saying that - the kids
Yay! Not only is it Friday...but we get a great video from yinz two as well. Thank you!😊

I can't believe people were so offended by him kissing HIMSELF 😂 like its really not even gay if you think about it
You guys should react to Pride Is The Devil by J Cole. It’s one of his best songs and has a lot of deeper meaning in the lyrics
