Man has been using technology since the dawn of time. Computers are culimonation of many different scientific fields and hundreds of years of advancement. So to complain that we have too much technology is just, well, not very specific or interesting and comes from the mind of a layman with no appreciation for scientific thought. The actual problem is we have too many humans.
@@DougV695 Slow down there, pseudo-intellectual. You might burn out a brain cell or two with that attempt at obliviously pretentious higher thought. You only have so many to spare, after all.
It's also about the then present. Japan kicked America's ass in cars and electronic. They took the USA by storm. They were a model of manufacturing perfection.
As this song says "The problem's plain to see. Too Much technology. Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize". It's incredible how this verse has too much importance now.
Um. Like holy shit. I was born in the seventies and love this shit. My son was over tonight with his bass guitar playing this, and it made we wanna revisit the past, so I looked this up...... somehow I'VE LISTENED TO THIS SONG MY WHOLE LIFE, but never truly LISTENED.......This comment of yours should be viral. How have I listened to this from fourth grade through my fucking fifties living in the hell scape that is AI and social media, seeing where it's going, seeing that our IDs have no earthly idea what life was like before the screen ruled the world
Whoever wrote the lyrics was ahead of their time in the 1980s - AI & Elon Musk were not trying to rule the world yet- It’s 2024 & our humanity is being threatened by AI + EM s neurolink putting chips in our brains to “upgrade humans” “save our lives?” By “machines dehumanizing “ Machines & chips in head really designed “To keep us alive?” “Forget what you know”
@mamacitabella1759 yea there's a quote about enjoying the music when you're happy, but understanding the lyrics when your sad. Not the same thing, but it makes you think about how much great lyricism is overlooked by the masses because we're too busy consuming everything in site shallowly/superficially
I am, I got the CD for Christmas from my brother and we bought tickets to see them at the Venetian during their residency in Las Vegas on Oct 31! I'm stoked. Even though it's not Dennis De young, the other guy (I hear) does a great job with this song, which is included in the song list for the 23/24 tour. I am excited to hear it even tho I will admit, it's by far NOT my favorite Styx song...I'm more of a Man in the Wilderness, Boat on the River type gypsy soul :) Love you Tommy Shaw forever and ever!
_"The problem's plain to see... Too much technology! Machines to rule our lives... Machines dehumanize!"_ That one verse is the whole meaning behind the entire album and story!
I like how the song is 100% synth until he says that line and then it switches to analog instruments that are so processed that you can hardly recognize them as natural. It's genius.
Look forward to the days of sharing such memories with your kids cause this gem gotta get fucking shared FORFUCKING EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRBDOMOOOOOOOOOOYOOOOOOWAAAAAAAAAA

Heck yea it is! I remember this one as a kid. I was a science fiction geek and still am, but realize it's not fiction like Elon Musk recently stated. Where did all this knowledge come from that created the 21st century future arriving? We didn't actually realistically expect to see high tech AI driven robots in the real world like we're beginning to see. The first driverless robo taxi without operator controls is set to be announced on August 8th this year. Elon Musk is the super star CEO of all time, but not sure if gonna save America and keep the world a human one that represents the will of the people for it's a global corporation that oversees all the companies, universities, countries, and everyone who was blessed to have great jobs. For the rest of us who speak truth instead of going along with whatever plan, there's not this greatest country we thought was our country for it's the global corporation of WEF.
I'll never forget a Star Trek convention in Portland back in' 97 this song was played as a video tribute featuring the best of Mr.Data.The place went crazy.
It doesn't end for me, I started singing the lyrics to "Cold War" right on cue. As controversial as the album and the tour were, Dennis DeYoung wrote a futuristic if not timeless story and in doing so broke up the band lol so clearly it's art. If they're not in "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" then I dispute there is such a thing.

Perdón por la dosis de realidad, pero estas canciones no se quedaron por ser buenas precisamente, eran migajas de información de lo que se vendría después, hoy 2024 tienen más sentido que hace 30 o 40 años, cuando "kilroy" esté tomando el control será tarde pensar que hubo una canción que habló justo de eso, advirtiendonos.
To help people that are reading, this song ( whole album, actually) tells a story! To sum it up, Mr. Roboto is about a famous rock musician named Kilroy who get thrown into prison because in the future America is a dystopia run by fascist tyrants, who outlaw and ban music. This was bad news for Kilroy, because this meant he was to be thrown into prison. Honestly I'm sure there is more to this story but thats the overgeneralised plot. The prison is completely run by, well, robots. Kilroy, (Little fun fact about the album, the title is called "Kilroy Was Here" which in this case has two meanings. One meaning is the reference to one of the first ever "memes" It was used back in the 1940's by soldiers of WWII. The other meaning is of course, referring to our protagonist of this rock opera, Kilroy.) Kilroy knocks out a robot guard when it enters his prison cell, and disguises himself inside the robot. (Hence "Somewhere to hide") Then he manages to escape prison in the suit. Thats why he keeps saying "Thank you" over and over. Thats the story of Mr. Roboto. Its not the whole Kilroy Was Here album, but its a piece of it.
Those idiots are the little old man behind the curtain not great or powerful. They have ruined society. MILLENNIALS and Z have more sociopaths than any previous generations.
Occasionally, a great rock band will veer off into uncharted territory, take risks, and make something that is really weird and really amazing. This entire album from Styx was one of those occasions. We didn't know what the heck we were hearing, but we knew it was awesome.
Whenever someone says "Domo Arigato," I think of this song. I ain't gonna last a minute in Japan. Edit: one of my rival marching bands had their show be a tribute to Styx, with this as their 1st Mvt.
I really just want to say!!! THIS GREAT BAND WAS WAY WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME!!! This band is amazing , I really wanna put it out there!! Young people may not appreciate this amazing music!!! But I’m here to tell you that this amazing band does not get the credit that it deserves!! I will be a dedicated fan till I die!!!I know you guys are still doing concerts and it is on my agenda to attend one!! Love you guys!!!
Foreshadowing! As a Gen Z boy I can relate tremendously. We are all glued with technology. This song aged like wine. One of the best songs of all time and this song will still age well throughout the upcoming years. One of the lines in this song is true especially the rise of technology. 80s music are the greatest. I’m glad I’m into 80s music
2024 think of Elon Musk when I hear this song- thinking about lyrics -profound how prophetic the writer ( 1980s ) was way ahead of their time-B4 AI & Elon Musk were born & trying to rule the 🌎. 2024 our humanity is being collectively threatened by AI + EM s nano neurolink technically implanting chips in our brains permanently to “upgrade humans” “save our lives?” By “machines dehumanizing “ Nano bots micro Machines & computer chips in head really designed “To keep us alive?” “Forget what you know” Or forget we’re alive & what we knew before the new programming was installed? “My heart is human … Blood boiling My Brain IBM” Well done Styx Elon Musk should design a new fragrance for both sexes & call it “Common Scents”
Good one... Even China uses Northern Korean Slave Labor.. Chinese raise their noses in the air, we are now too good to bother making this consumer garbage for export..
It's also hard to believe that Mr. Roboto proved eerily prophetic. The song literally thrust us all into this dystopian, almost futuristic cyberpunk science fiction world.
Not when you were a teen in the 80s. Most of the songs that I'm familiar with are from the 80s, other than "Weird Al" songs, and of course some of those are from the 80s.
Some of the best music ever came from roughly 76-77 to 83-84. Devo, Styx, the Cars, The Police, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Gleaming Spires, Men at Work, and hell, I'll even give Adam Ant an honorable mention 😀
This skng helped me get through some hard times when i was a little kid. I came from a physically, verbally, and mentally abusive home. This song spoke of the freedom and identity i myself had to hide in order to keep from being abused... So thank you very much mr roboto and styx for heping me escape yahhhhhh😢😂❤
Came home one day after school many years ago and step dad gave me a big hug. Told me "Thank you". I didn't know why. He thanked me for leaving my radio out and called in and won back stage tickets to a Styx concert. Got grass seats. Dad came back with tears in his eyes. Showed us the band at the time (90's) signed both first and last names on his 8Track cassette from the band. Great concert!
@@steventalbot2505 He didn't say it was an 8 track of Kilroy Was Here. He might have gotten the band to sign an 8 Track of Pieces of Eight or The Grand Illusion or Styx II.
@@steventalbot2505 Certain albums were being sold on 8-Track Tape through record clubs up until at least 1988. And this particular album was released in USA on 8-Track Tape as a standard retail edition and through record clubs.
AHH es Irratable Brain Mucus, Is That A disease or real, lol just Kidding Styxx Is The Best cuz i have to nuch time on my hands as well! Until someone wants to borrow that $$ that you never see again life is great Biden or who are again, jill who am i typing to, oh sorry.Got to get to my basement sorry!!!!
Back when IBM were big players in the computing scene, before Microsoft Windows came in and changed everything. They’re still successful today just Microsoft definitely came out stronger…
2024 anyone? Wow has time gone by, and this song is still as brilliant as it was the 1st time I heard it!!! "Thank you very much a Mr. Roboto" and thank you very much STYX !! 🤖🤖
Brave New World was their last album together. The turmoil of filming Kilroy Was Here tore the band apart. Dennis also suffered a medical condition back then preventing him from touring. Lawrence Gowan was a formidable replacement for both vocals and his piano style plus he proved himself when he fronted the Brave New World tour instead of Dennis.
It's so fucking perfect. Like the lyrics are just a perfect match. And, at the end when he is saying "Thank you for helping me escape when I needed to. Thank you, thank you!" He's thanking 4 entities. Just like in Mr. Robot, the father the mother, the kid, and the mastermind. They helped him escape.

Music videos in the 1980s were awesome. They didn't have the technology we have today to make everything look super clean and perfect but they were a lot more creative, they did a lot more with what they had and they usually told a story, they were like short movies.
They had to be awesome. These were the heydays of MTV and everybody watched MTV all day. When artists recorded songs and wanted them to be successful they had to stand out in order to get attention.
When u don't have enough resources, then u think out of the box and that's what called is creativity. There were not enough resources, but there were brains to use unlike today's generation who got a fixed mindset.
This '80's song talks of technology taking over humanity and transforming everything into a souless dystopian land. We are well on the way sports fans....
Two different places of employment for me. A machine shop and a plywood mill. I personally witnessed robotics kill peoples jobs. This song really hits home for me.
@@wallegg1499 Songs can be a personal thing. My interpretation can be different than yours. "Thank you Mr. Roboto for doing my job" spoke to me me in a special way. Not everyone has talent to be a programmer.
I had tickets to see Styx with Rainbow opening. Unfortunately the concert was canceled, due to low ticket sales. This song was the beginning of the end for Styx. At the time most fans despised this song!
My cousin was in the same talent show as me. I did a Cindi Lauper sing with a bunch of girls. We rocked. My cousin did this song with a Frankenstein mask on while dancing like a robot. He got a standing ovation. He won the contest. Love it!
This man's voice is just as awesome as Freddy Mercury's! Damn, he can sing! Lol Especially towards the ending part when he's singing "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" " Iiiiiiiiii wannna thank you!" The music is fire too. The song is epic.
They are genius. See them in concert, with Loverboy and R-E-O. Just did. Broke me, not paid for my comment - just a 30 ish year old with tales from my father. R-E-O ditch the wig, so bad. IMO Styx just pushed their way into my top 5 bands of all time. Avengenge 7 fold, after seeing Disturbed and System of a Down fail. Same theater mind you, prefer the grass area. Avenenge 7n fold did way better than either, and even better than Ozy. Korn and dude with a missing rib are also in my top 5 due to failed Oz fests (not to confuse him with a woman that probably had two xx and one y chromosone - something you probably didn't know about her - Yeah Marilon Monroe was 2/3rds man and 1/3rd woman - look it up. actually find it funny that the "woman" figure of history was more man than woman - so look it up.). Saw Styx from the seats though, hate that. Been in front two rows for Carrie three times. But at whitewater, rather be on the grass. Even if the cheap seats, better. Carrie, was the most talented artist I had ever seen - until saw Styx in person. 70 year olds should never move that way, but so happy I saw them do so against all odds. Best band I have ever seen in person, thank them for that. I will die knowing I saw something I never should have. Bands today, are not the bands of yesteryear. and that is bad to say, but also great. Styx did something not even bands today can do.
That can be said about every 80s band that we cling on for emotional support because we are all still little kids on the inside holding on to that feeling we got when we first heard these songs.
My friends back in the day used to listen to this song laughing thinking it was a gimmick song. I used to tell them there's a much deeper meaning to the song and they'd just look at me dumbfounded. Finally many many years later someone took the lyrics and created a show worthy of every single award out there in Cinema. Half way through the first season, I smiled, knowing that someone understood the song like I did. I've commented for years on Mr Robot threads that the song tells the whole base story and knew with a certainty that it would be played in the finale. Then I heard it and the whole circle was complete. Goodbye friend, I love you Elliot.
same. what a ride watching the epic masterpiece of the show unfold. nice knowing someone else out there felt this way about this song and mr. robot, too. i love you friend.
I was finding this for years then stopped. I listened to it from my childhood and thought it was deep. I didn't expect I would watch the masterpiece before I listened to this. What a time to be alive
Not to discount the show or your experience/interpretation but idk if I'd call it intentional genius. In the context of the Kilroy album, the song is just a plot point. The protagonist disguises himself as a robot and that allows the rest of the story to progress. It honestly doesn't even make too much sense in that context but whatever. If someone reworked it to make it make sense as a narrative, good on them!
This song really hits Mark Zuckerberg right in the emotion chip.

This song is going to be terrifyingly relevant in about 40 years.
xD
that's pretty much what they were saying 40 years ago.
if the world last long enough ill blat this song in 40 years
lol 40 years...oh cant you see, the re-al-ity....it's relevant now, in my opinion.
Not really we'll be dead by then.
This song single-handedly made me a fan of Styx
Ironic, really, considering that this album lost Styx a ton of fans at the time it first came out.
That's cool! This song made me a fan of Styx too.
Yes I am listening on Easter 2024.

"I am the modren man!"
"Who hides behind a mask!"
Guess he didn't know if the song was going to be good so he didn't give a fuck
margarine
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that
When I sing it I say "modren"
Or.."I am the modern man".....
Occasionally, a great rock band will veer off into uncharted territory, take risks, and make something that is really weird and really amazing. This entire album from Styx was one of those occasions. We didn't know what the heck we were hearing, but we knew it was awesome.
Great, insightful comment!
I think George Michael’s Freedom 90 is like that. He took a lot of chances musically and boldly not being in the music video.
I was mesmerized by this son & the album art as a 12 year old. Still am to some degree.

Everyone loves the "Dōmo arigatō misutārobotto" part
The vocals in these song do not get the credit it deserves. Most people recall the iconic chorus but DeYoung's singing and showmanship is fantastic.
Dennis DeYoung should have stayed with the band. Lawrence Gowan just doesn't cut it as lead singer now.
Lol boo

Domo Arigato! Listening this in 2024.
Whenever someone says "Domo Arigato," I think of this song. I ain't gonna last a minute in Japan.
Edit: one of my rival marching bands had their show be a tribute to Styx, with this as their 1st Mvt.
Bolt out in song when they do..... we’re American ..... it’s not like we have a good reputation😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah I hear that phrase often,said no one EVER!
You made my day 🤣
But Isn’t “Domo Arigato” Italian or Latin?
I'm just a man who's circumstances went beyond his control.
Ain't that the truth

I really just want to say!!! THIS GREAT BAND WAS WAY WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME!!! This band is amazing , I really wanna put it out there!! Young people may not appreciate this amazing music!!! But I’m here to tell you that this amazing band does not get the credit that it deserves!! I will be a dedicated fan till I die!!!I know you guys are still doing concerts and it is on my agenda to attend one!! Love you guys!!!
Foreshadowing! As a Gen Z boy I can relate tremendously. We are all glued with technology. This song aged like wine. One of the best songs of all time and this song will still age well throughout the upcoming years. One of the lines in this song is true especially the rise of technology. 80s music are the greatest. I’m glad I’m into 80s music
2024 think of Elon Musk when I hear this song- thinking about lyrics -profound how prophetic the writer ( 1980s ) was way ahead of their time-B4

It's hard to imagine this song was recorded almost 40 years ago Released: February 11, 1983
Recorded: 1982
It's also hard to believe that Mr. Roboto proved eerily prophetic. The song literally thrust us all into this dystopian, almost futuristic cyberpunk science fiction world.
Not when you were a teen in the 80s. Most of the songs that I'm familiar with are from the 80s, other than "Weird Al" songs, and of course some of those are from the 80s.
WOW! Time has passed! My late sister, Adron graduated from high school in May 1983. She was 16 years old.
I feel so old
Some of the best music ever came from roughly 76-77 to 83-84. Devo, Styx, the Cars, The Police, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Gleaming Spires, Men at Work, and hell, I'll even give Adam Ant an honorable mention 😀
they were on some good shit in the 80's
De las mejores épocas para la musica.
I know, the purity and quality was way way better, you can see it in a lot of 80's music videos😂😂
This skng helped me get through some hard times when i was a little kid. I came from a physically, verbally, and mentally abusive home. This song spoke of the freedom and identity i myself had to hide in order to keep from being abused... So thank you very much mr roboto and styx for heping me escape yahhhhhh😢😂❤

Came home one day after school many years ago and step dad gave me a big hug. Told me "Thank you". I didn't know why. He thanked me for leaving my radio out and called in and won back stage tickets to a Styx concert. Got grass seats. Dad came back with tears in his eyes. Showed us the band at the time (90's) signed both first and last names on his 8Track cassette from the band. Great concert!
8 tracks were no longer produced in 1983

I came hear right after finishing the series and I wholeheartedly agree
@@thenextweek2416 me too lol
Why'd you reveal the secret to most movies ...
@@harshpherwani6590 Well, Kind of. The show is LOOSELY based off of a true story.
This song is SO freaking relevant in 2023!!! Dennis DeYoung was way ahead of his time.
What, the opening to an album about a future where a rock star has to save the world? I don't see it
Yes he was. After this song from my understanding he left the band or had to leave
Brave New World was their last album together. The turmoil of filming Kilroy Was Here tore the band apart. Dennis also suffered a medical condition back then preventing him from touring. Lawrence Gowan was a formidable replacement for both vocals and his piano style plus he proved himself when he fronted the Brave New World tour instead of Dennis.
Who is a legend still listening to this?
Right here…
It's like the 80's was trying to warn us of something...🤔
This song is absolutely prophetic.
Damn straight. My 7 year old daughter loves this and even said the same thing you did!
In addition to "In the Year 2525," top of the charts on the day man landed on the moon July 1969.
Hi I recommend an indie song called 'The Bond Villain' by Robert Nix
So true!😂
@brittanymayes6013 Your 7 year old daughter used the word prophetic? I'd definitely enroll her in a gifted school when you get the chance
This HAS to be the end song for the final episode of Mr Robot !

You called it, lmao.
They Did!
Are you a prophet
You got it right, bruh
If an unknown band had released this 4 years later, it would have been the biggest hit of the year.
Awesome song from an awesome decade!! Long live the 80’s!!
Amen to that
It's so fucking perfect. Like the lyrics are just a perfect match. And, at the end when he is saying "Thank you for helping me escape when I needed to. Thank you, thank you!" He's thanking 4 entities. Just like in Mr. Robot, the father the mother, the kid, and the mastermind. They helped him escape.

@@Touketsuken Business software installed by IT departments works in that way running algorithms with strict parameters intended to trip up unauthorized users where security is high to protect sensitive data.

Styx what the heck i love this song!!!!!!!!!! THANK GOODNESS FOR THIS RIGHT HERE.
Music videos in the 1980s were awesome. They didn't have the technology we have today to make everything look super clean and perfect but they were a lot more creative, they did a lot more with what they had and they usually told a story, they were like short movies.
They had to be awesome. These were the heydays of MTV and everybody watched MTV all day. When artists recorded songs and wanted them to be successful they had to stand out in order to get attention.
When u don't have enough resources, then u think out of the box and that's what called is creativity.
There were not enough resources, but there were brains to use unlike today's generation who got a fixed mindset.
Prophetic song

I had tickets to see Styx with Rainbow opening. Unfortunately the concert was canceled, due to low ticket sales. This song was the beginning of the end for Styx. At the time most fans despised this song!

Nobody can produce a song like this anymore, these guys were geniuses. Awesome
They are genius. See them in concert, with Loverboy and R-E-O.
Just did. Broke me, not paid for my comment - just a 30 ish year old with tales from my father. R-E-O ditch the wig, so bad.
IMO Styx just pushed their way into my top 5 bands of all time. Avengenge 7 fold, after seeing Disturbed and System of a Down fail. Same theater mind you, prefer the grass area. Avenenge 7n fold did way better than either, and even better than Ozy. Korn and dude with a missing rib are also in my top 5 due to failed Oz fests (not to confuse him with a woman that probably had two xx and one y chromosone - something you probably didn't know about her - Yeah Marilon Monroe was 2/3rds man and 1/3rd woman - look it up. actually find it funny that the "woman" figure of history was more man than woman - so look it up.). Saw Styx from the seats though, hate that. Been in front two rows for Carrie three times. But at whitewater, rather be on the grass. Even if the cheap seats, better.
Carrie, was the most talented artist I had ever seen - until saw Styx in person. 70 year olds should never move that way, but so happy I saw them do so against all odds. Best band I have ever seen in person, thank them for that. I will die knowing I saw something I never should have. Bands today, are not the bands of yesteryear. and that is bad to say, but also great. Styx did something not even bands today can do.
That can be said about every 80s band that we cling on for emotional support because we are all still little kids on the inside holding on to that feeling we got when we first heard these songs.
As you know this was the reason for Styx to break after 1983. I wonder why.

My friends back in the day used to listen to this song laughing thinking it was a gimmick song. I used to tell them there's a much deeper meaning to the song and they'd just look at me dumbfounded. Finally many many years later someone took the lyrics and created a show worthy of every single award out there in Cinema. Half way through the first season, I smiled, knowing that someone understood the song like I did. I've commented for years on Mr Robot threads that the song tells the whole base story and knew with a certainty that it would be played in the finale. Then I heard it and the whole circle was complete. Goodbye friend, I love you Elliot.
same. what a ride watching the epic masterpiece of the show unfold. nice knowing someone else out there felt this way about this song and mr. robot, too. i love you friend.
I was finding this for years then stopped. I listened to it from my childhood and thought it was deep. I didn't expect I would watch the masterpiece before I listened to this. What a time to be alive
which series is that can u please tell?
@@kartikchahda1988 Of course, the masterpiece, Mr Robot.
Not to discount the show or your experience/interpretation but idk if I'd call it intentional genius. In the context of the Kilroy album, the song is just a plot point. The protagonist disguises himself as a robot and that allows the rest of the story to progress. It honestly doesn't even make too much sense in that context but whatever.
If someone reworked it to make it make sense as a narrative, good on them!
