"nobody told me Europe got bangers too..." Decades of superb music and never listened to a single one??

Germany is in fact in Europe, next to the Netherlands lol. Try history books, you'll see why we in Europe will never forget that. But as for Joost, this song is an ode tot his parents and a letter to his father. His father passed away when Joost was 12, and his mom passed away when he was 13. The lyrics are in fact pretty serious, a serious message wrapped in happy music, until the end, when he gets serious. I love his song and message, I haven't felt this much connected to a Eurovision song as I have with this one. He stole my heart with it, and I really hope the European viewers will understand the song and also love it like I do.

0:35 Mmm yes, American Europe geography knowledge.

Wow.....asking if Germany is in Europe.... The whole world knows that Germany is in europe. History!!!

And the dance they're doing at the end is called 'hakken' which is generally linked to the hardcore/gabber scene

not him asking if Germany is in Europe..are americans real?

The sad fact is that this song got disqualified because of some small thing even though this song was for his parents and how he promised them he would get on Eurovision someday and both parents died after that when he was 12 and 13

The song is about his dead parents and how his father was his biggest inspiration.

00:36 No signs of intelligent life on the scanners, captain.

could this guy be more stereotypically american lmao

This is a song about European Unity and, personally for him, following his dad’s advice and traveling and embracing people from all over Europe. We love you Klein. Europeans are now more united than ever🇪🇺

5:02 He lost both of his parents at a very young age, due to illness. His dad once told him "it's a world without borders" and Joost promised his dad he'd be in the Eurovision Song Contest one day. The picture you see burning is of his childhood

It doesn't matter where Joost travels or what he's eating, there will always be the pain of missing his parents. Nobody could help him, not even when he paid them. Children should be happy, enjoy their lives, right? What if you're not happy as a kid? What if you have PTSD and you have to wait 2 years to get mental health? Joost's father died when he was 12 and he found his mother 8 months later on the couch. She passed because of a cardiac arrest. With this song he is taking the step to move on with his life. That's the meaning of the fire. Joost shares his fathers wisdom: people invented borders/ boundaries, so you can invent your own world. Father worked as a volunteer with refugees when he was alive. So the song tells us about the pain of grieving but also contains a hopeful message of Europe being a place of freedom and diversity. We are all human beings. Let's come together. Thank you for your reaction! Greetings from Westland, The Netherlands ❤

4:10 Dear Sir, That shit is called HAKKEN.

bro at the end he is talking about how is dad told him that he can and will achieve his dreams and is telling his dad that he made it. It is a very depressing part because he lost both his parents due to cancer when he was 7 years old.

2:10 i love the facial expression when Joost says "stay here until i die"

why did blud not read the subtitles at the end 😭💀

His dad died when he was 12 and his mom died when he was 13 and this whole song is a message to his parents and its "europa-pa" because he misses his dad (papa is daddy in dutch)

5:21 "juice clean" 💀

0:35 This is what they meant when they said America wasn't real

5:20 juice clean 😭😭😭

The meaning of this song makes me wanna cry. I love Joost. Hope he's doing well mentally.

Thank you for your reaction A rollercoaster of emotions Love from the Netherlands ❤❤❤❤

His parents died when he was 13, he was singing abt that and he made it seem like smth fun

holy yappings of the yappingtons

The dance is called,,hakken,,( chopping) and is founded in the netherlands in the 90s Thank you for the reaction

1% song 99% pausing and talking

“Nobody told me Europe got bangers too” Europe are literally the ones producing bangers since forever

You were right to feel that emotion at the end of the song. It’s very emotional, the whole story. And the ending sobers you right up.

If you want to hear more 90s gabber/eurodance Dutch music (=from the Netherlands) on which this song was inspired: check out DJ Paul Elstak (he's actually in the video, in the car during the drop, he co-produced), of course 2Unlimited with Get ready for this/Twilight Zone/many more (you'll be saying: whaaaat?? Is this Duuuutch?) . Others from that era: 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor, Twenty4 Seven, T-Spoon, Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo, Party Animals, and the list goes on. Also some German artists who had big hits (Scooter, Marusha). I grew up with this music and still listen and dance to it......and I'm almost 50 🙂. And yes, this song by Joost (pronounced "Yoast") is an absolute banger!!! Can't wait for his performance tomorrow. Oh and by the way....there are loooads of great dance festivals in the Netherlands. a bit of background on Gabber music: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtKUaZeA17q5cmw.html&ab_channel=MindprinterOfficial (all genres) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erCYht2TnMDbZWg.html&ab_channel=VICENederland

The shuffling is called Hakken it’s a Dutch dance

3:10 EUROPAPA 🗣🔥🦅

it’s amazing to see you enjoy our song! ;) greetings from the netherlands

the true eurovision winner

Joost Klein is a great entertainer, you should watch his live performance at lowlands festival (and maybe react to it). It for sure is worth to watch. That guy can perform and get the crowd moving man, it’s insane!

Watching Americans react to Eurovision while asking stupid questions is a real confidence booster

''nobody told me Europe got bangers too..." Europe literally has 90% of bangers ever made

For future reference, a person from the Netherlands is Dutch

i love american geography, your whole vid had me in stiches. love the content bro keep it up

there are my good songs coming from europe that many people know even in the usa just never tought of them more.

4:13 that jump step jump core is called hakken or hakkuh

"Joost Crane" 5:21 😭

The day Joost makes something with Käärijä or Baby Lasagna, Europe will finally find peace again😭😂💙

Juiced klieen 💀

bro has never heard of ABBA

Unopapa🗣️💯🔥 3:15

both his parents died when he was a kid, they died in a 1 year span and his father died due to cancer and his mom due to a heart attack. he was 12-13 at the time so he was taken care of by his siblings

Listen to the Switzerland one, there’s only one part about it that I love tho

Netherlands doing this kind of music since 30 years bro. Can show you: "come take my hand" - "I wanna be a hippy" - "army of hardcore" and stuff.

"THIS MAN GOT INTERESTING ASS DRIP, BUT THIS SHIT BANGS" 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

Offline goes hard

euro papa euro papa

“Joost clean”

happy hardcore

The story behind it is that both his parents went to heaven at an early age and he makes music to cope with it

Willkommen zu Europa

"JUICE CLINE 🤩🤩" "JUICE CREAM 🥰🥰"

The dance is called "hakken" and I do believe it came from jumpstep

I discovered him through the Eurovision drama. I totally recommend Ome Robert and friesenjung! Totally bangers

4:13 shuflfling 🙈🙈🙈🙈XDDDDDDDDD

that dance is hakken

bro whos gonna tell him that most songs that are popular are from europe like wind of change or mambo nr5 which are both from hermany for example

The dance they do at the end is called hakken

Im dutch, the music you heard at the end is called “Hardstyle” the dancing style is called “hakken”, it roughly translates to “heeling” because you kinda stomp the ground with your heels. The outfits and the people would call themselves “gabbers” or buddy’s in english. Next to that there is also a big EDM and Techno community, a shared love with our german brothers and sisters

americans: we dont need to know more than george washington

wait till he hear baby lasagna

"Germany is in Europe, right?" epic america moment

BRO you funny af LOL. Yeah that song a banger and shuda been top 3 easily.

#JOOSTICE I'm actually very happy to be able to understand every word without needing any translation unlike many other songs I listen to

The little guy in the MV was him and the old guy was his father

Modern Day Klaus Nomi

DJ Paul Elstak - Rainbow in the sky

that kind of dance is called 'Hakken'. AND IM PROUD TO BE A DUTCHIE

Is no one gonna talk about how grandpa can lift heavier dumbbells than me?

Tomorrowland, nahhhhh...! -Check Defqon1 😎

He lost his parents. First his dad at 12. 1 year later he lost his mom at age 13. This song is about finding himself.

(please pin this) So the story in the outro is he lost his parents when he was young and his dad always told him that the world has no borders but that it’s only in ones head. He uses the idea of traveling around europe that he is trying to escape from the pain of the dead of his parents. But you will always carry that with you even though you go to different countries. In the end he dedicates the song to his father. And with that says goodbye to his grieving of losing both his parents. Putting an end to his sadness. In europapa the papa also means dad in dutch. I think others can explain it better but hope this helps! But don’t worry he is pro Europe. It’s an ode to Europe and his dad.

Greetings from the Netherlands, you should visit sometime! We have crazy festivals with this kind of music

#JUSTICEFORJOOST

Bro has to listen to NATTE VISTICK ❤😂

yes we stay in europe until we die

5:10 "whats the message?" brother, its on screen

dat noemen we hakken jonguh

some dutch artist working in the EDM scene including some oldies: Afro Jack, Tiësto, Showtech, Armin van Buuren, 2Unlimited, Venga Boys and I am sure I'm forgetting about some big ones. As this genre is not my bread and butter. Largest EDM festival is in Amsterdam, Tomorrow Land in Belgium is amazing as well.

He legit got belgium confused with the netherlands, there's a ton of edm artists from the netherlands, like afrojack, tiesto, armin van buuren, hardwell, nicky romero, and ofc dj paul elstak Also, fun fact, the genres hardcore and gabber were invented in rotterdam, the netherlands

joost for the win

unfortenetly joost was disqualified

Eurovision got best songs

The shuffling is called hakken

Joost lost his dad when he was younger, and he promised his dad he will succeed in life

Yeah bro, come down and party 🇳🇱🇺🇲

You can listen to "rim tim tagi dim" by Baby Lasagna too, its also a nice banger

"Alternx" Drip

2:47 tf where you even trying to say. im dying

its prounounced yoast klein

4:20 the style of dance you were referring to is called hakken its a very common dutch dance that you will most likely see people dance like this when played harcore music or any kind that sounds abit like joost klein also the way you say his name is like toast but the remove the t and replace it with a j wich makes it joast klein and klein like calvin klein

arcade was on eurovision and it was from netherlands

For context I’m from Europe and the message is basically that Europe is starting to break apart with the war in Ukraine and the whole song is about that Europe should unite together

did you know that arcade snap and fairytale was in eurovison

that's a controversial title you got there, haha
