Funky nostalgia in YouTube comments
“oh lawd this shit is classic, i was pumpin this shit when i was 9 years old. real talk”
YouTube has provided access to music videos I never thought possible. I’m on a total nostalgia rush with Cameo right now. Check out: Cameo - Flirt. While I definitely prefer Cameo’s later electro-funk jams (my Aaliyah disciples should check out: Back and Forth immediately), the comments section for the earlier material is priceless!
Cameo is still hot in 2005. Check out Single Life from a show last year (with the hardest working man in radio, Tom Joyner!) The coordinated dancing is killer because it’s so simple. A couple steps, swivel the pelvis, clap, and nod. The whole audience can do it by the second verse!
“This ain’t ‘RARE”, ya’ll are just YOUNG.”
Does anyone have census data on YouTube (or Flickr?)
