I keep forgetting MGMT wasn't a band from the 80's. They seem to do a great job of building on old foundations to make something new and unique, yet oddly nostalgic.
I am 20 years old now, but it all started when I was 19 on a damn trip to Campos do Jordão (a city in Brazil). It was a calm day until those mountains clogged my ear. I spent the whole trip with that uncomfortable feeling. Anyway, when I returned to Alabama, I noticed a difference in my hearing; I could hear higher pitches, but at the same time, it was quieter. My greatest fear in life has always been going deaf, and it seemed like that was happening. I went to countless doctors for audiometric tests, but they all came out perfect. Up until then, I discovered this masterpiece, and I haven't stopped listening to it. It accompanied me throughout 2024, and I hope it won't in 2025. I want my 'little dark age' to end; it was a lot of suffering, a lot of scars!! And as the song says, 'burn the page, my little dark age'! I hope to come back here in 2025 with good news, but MGMT, know that you hit not only my sacred ears but my soul as well. Thank you for this produced anthem, and may God bless you!

No only on the world stage but even in their own country via the left stoking racialized/gender divisions, the left destroying organized religions, the left destroying academia, the left destroying pop culture, the left literally burning their own communities. A civilizational dark age is when everyone in a collective consciousness falls into a "Little Dark Age" all at the same time, this induces more little dark ages in everyone as the decline becomes more apparent. A civilizational golden age is when everyone in a collective consciousness turns into a bloomer and become present in the moment with a high expectations for the future. A Gold/Dark age has nothing to do with war/death/slavery or destruction. It is the vibe of the universe manifested by the average person in a society. Do they care for the society? Do they want to better the society? Do they care about their fellow man? Can you trust your neighbor? With mass unfettered immigration, the worship of blacks, the degradation of women, worship of material goods, destruction of divinity, its hard for the modern man to be bloomer. And this is a society problem because you need strong white men to have proper civilization.
@@MafeK95 I think it's metaphorical, representing both band members struggles and how they were kinda "controlled" by the media to a point, as they gained success from releasing poppy mainstream music but when they tried making albums featuring music they appreciated more, they didn't get as much recognition and many even straight up disliked the albums.
Damn man there's video games I haven't put that much time into. But yeah there's a reason this song is in so many compilations and other videos. It don't get old. This one will be remembered.
This has been going on for thousands of years. The young people who think the old people are out of touch and the old people who think the young ones are naive idealists. Nothing really ever changed except for our technology. Human evolution goes at a slower rate than technological progress, and technology has been progressing very quickly, this is one of the reasons why we feel this disconnect.

Can we just admire how creative and well shot this video is? - Edit: I specifically made this comment to get a lot of likes and somehow people got angry lol it’s pretty funny. Let’s all love Lain
@@Jose-xh5qb I absolutely thought the same, (Born in 82) and went looking for which 80’s group it came from. My 13 yo daughter overheard it and danced into the room: “It’s mgmt…”. 😂 What other treasures have I been missing out on?!
Cringe When someone acts/ or is so embarrassing or awkward , it makes you feel extemely ashamed and/or embarrassed. "Hey that guy over there is cringy"
The way this guy talks, I can’t explain it but the vocals are literally therapy. Literally all i listened to was suicideboys and slipknot so this isn’t my usual cup of tea but this is a frikkin master piece
I like how this song is able to write so implicitly about themes that are relatable to the real world. everyone is so anxious and conflicted by the constant political tension in the world, and by the doublespeak of the media which perpetuates the tension. but you can't just run or hide from the polarized climate of society, you're forced to stand and wallow in a little dark age.
The fact that MGMT was literally started as a meta joke just gets me every time, because the more I listen to their music, the more I contribute to the joke itself. *Even if the artistry is amazing!*
01:57 The song talks about the struggles of self-acceptance and forgiveness. 03:15 The song talks about feeling isolated and strange in a dark age 04:33 MGMT's 'Little Dark Age' portrays isolation and longing. 05:11 The song explores feelings of isolation and darkness
They wrote it to melt down about Trump's presidency being their "little dark age" that they couldn't cope with. Hilarious now that it's been reclaimed as anti-uniparty.
I remember it had a military trend, where people would make montages (pictures/videos) with this song. I did it too but because the song title relates to me
I think it's more like dread. If you witnessed something great and beautiful and couldn't look away, it would be awe, but this is it's opposite, dread.
Why I can't stop listening to this? Maybe because it speaks volumes about a dark time in my life that I am glad I am not in anymore. No nostalgia, just a reflection from a past when I wasn't really myself.
“I grieve in the stereo, the stereo sounds strange”. Such subtle yet awesome lyrics right there. It’s just so hard to know if they did that artistically or just cause it fit the songs feel. That’s the magic of Mgmt.
@Yuvraj Mestri up for interpretation, but most synths are stereo. My interpretation is that he grieves through his music, but was criticized by others for how it sounds
MGMT's Oracular Spectacular had huge mainstream success with the singles "Kids" and "Time to Pretend," MGMT is definitely as well-known as can be, given their indie and neo-psychedelic style

Imperium was not a word used to describe the territory of the Roman Empire at the time, it's the name of an action (a military command, roughly speaking), wich is also a prerogative and therefore a title of the emperor, imperator, or "whom exercises imperium" in latin

they actually tried to get away from the mainstream and their own success by making a less popular sound but see MGMT has a problem of just making bangers whether they like it or not

The ruins of the day painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try
The feelings start to rot one wink at a time
[Chorus]
Oh, forgiving who you are for what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
When you get out of bed, don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone on the stage, my little dark age
[Verse 2]
Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby
The carvings on the face say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise
The humor's not the same, coming from denial
[Chorus]
Oh, I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange

@@MafeK95 I think it's metaphorical, representing both band members struggles and how they were kinda "controlled" by the media to a point, as they gained success from releasing poppy mainstream music but when they tried making albums featuring music they appreciated more, they didn't get as much recognition and many even straight up disliked the albums.
This is a pretty simple edit, the edit on “when you die” tho
The first part of the song gives me creepy history fact vibes because of the unsettilingness 00:10

This has been going on for thousands of years. The young people who think the old people are out of touch and the old people who think the young ones are naive idealists. Nothing really ever changed except for our technology. Human evolution goes at a slower rate than technological progress, and technology has been progressing very quickly, this is one of the reasons why we feel this disconnect.

LYRICS:
Breathing in the dark, lying on its side
The ruins of the day painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try
The feelings start to rot, one wink at a time
Oh-oh, forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
When you get out of bed, don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone on the stage, my little dark age
Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby
The carvings on the face say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise
The humor's not the same, coming from denial
Oh-oh, I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone
Open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark age
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away
If I get out of bed, you'll see me standing all alone
Horrified on the stage, my little dark age
Giddy with delight, seeing what's to come
The image of the dead, dead ends in my mind
Policemen swear to God, love seeping from their guns
I know my friends and I would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed, come find us heading for the bridge
Bring a stone, all the rage, my little dark age
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone
Open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark age
All alone, open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark age

Forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain, just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away line hits hard when I think of my past experiences.
I like how this song is able to write so implicitly about themes that are relatable to the real world. everyone is so anxious and conflicted by the constant political tension in the world, and by the doublespeak of the media which perpetuates the tension. but you can't just run or hide from the polarized climate of society, you're forced to stand and wallow in a little dark age.
Yes.
Liked comment.
Nice little look into the song there

The fact that MGMT was literally started as a meta joke just gets me every time, because the more I listen to their music, the more I contribute to the joke itself.
*Even if the artistry is amazing!*
Best MGMT song imo
can you explain? I don't know anything about MGMT beyond this song
@@blueshit199 iirc, they made a generic pop song (kids?) as a joke. Ironically, it was this song that got them popular.
@@hajo5400 electric feel was way bigger
Very talented but they will do what child rapist owners tell them. Then they die.
01:57 The song talks about the struggles of self-acceptance and forgiveness.
03:15 The song talks about feeling isolated and strange in a dark age
04:33 MGMT's 'Little Dark Age' portrays isolation and longing.
05:11 The song explores feelings of isolation and darkness

They wrote it to melt down about Trump's presidency being their "little dark age" that they couldn't cope with. Hilarious now that it's been reclaimed as anti-uniparty.
I remember it had a military trend, where people would make montages (pictures/videos) with this song. I did it too but because the song title relates to me
@@iankowalczyk8455 Starting from February.
This song makes me feel a sense of awe. Like witnessing a tragedy and you can’t look away
