Roth was not on the bill for the event. 2) Roth kept kind of... Taunting us in the audience? He would like tease that he was gonna do I Love College, which was the only song anyone knew from him, but then play some random other song no one knew.

I think another factor was the last great EDM bubble of the mid-00s when raves in US major cities were in a grey area of law so the people entering college and clubbing age in 2009-2010 spent their time in highschool at highly organized multistage all ages raves that lasted until 7am.

Let's not pretend young adults had any fucking clue what was going on in the financial sector or how it was going to impact them. It was just a delayed side-effect of the ecstasy boom

This song came out when I and most of my friends were about to finish college and had nowhere to go and no jobs ahead, so it was oddly bittersweet

Matthew Vaughan I think early on people were just not aware of how long the recession would drag on for. I mean really in some ways its impact stretched out over the course of the entire subsequent decade. People would have approached it optimistically at first, and then slowly got more disillusioned, and I think that that is reflected in the music.

@@matthewvaughan8192 Some of us had a great idea of what was happening. I was 17-18 and was an editor for my school newspaper where we wrote articles about what was going on. We also studied things relating to it in economics class and current events in our history classes. You're not giving enough credit to young adults.

@@garystack9537 I mean you could argue that suburban white bois were always the largest buying demographic of Rap, considering they were the ones who made NWA's album go ×3 platinum back in '88.

....how old are you....

God I remember way too many high school parties where girls thought getting drunk and dancing to that song was fun. It was everywhere but the only redeeming quality was that same techno sound and drums that so many other hip hop songs had at the time. You couldn't dance to it because the beat was way too fast and the lyrics were awful, but it was somehow EVERYWHERE.

Wow, a lot of comments hoping one of them sticks

WTF!?

@The Stammering Dunce He was not.

Huh, you'd expect CollegeHumour to have done that already.

All of that would have actually been about college. This is just "I'm in my early twenties and like going to parties".

A whole decade of Todd. And a whole decade of me. I made it through half the 2000s, and the whole 2010s!

You know, I'm 'gonna miss the 2010s. All the stuff that's gone on, even the bad stuff... just, so much. Will things ever be the same? They're already changing. I already miss the early 2010s, with the Minecrafts, and the Five Nights at Freddys, a more innocent time, a time when we never had to hear about Donald Trump. I hadn't even heard of the guy until 2015. Yeah, I guess it went downhill, but there's still been that 2010sness, I'm 'gonna miss the ethos of this decade. You know, it's always been 2010 this, or 2010 that. We've always been in the 2010s. For as long as I can remember, the year's always been 2-0-1-blank. It'll be so weird and different starting with a 2 as the third number. Weird. Guess we're riding into the unknown.

Eh, seeing as Todd can't tell the difference between nu metal and post-grunge, complains when artists try new things, and says absolutely no good music came from the early 2000s, maybe you should suggest other music critics.

Also, he hasn't disappeared up his own ass and he's fucking funny. I'm a fan. At any rate, I'm very good with my kiddos being fans of Todd.

IMHO Todd found his niche and has done very well with it. I feel there has always been a place for reviewers like Todd, and am glad that he came along and fulfilled it. Unlike certain other TGWTG alumni, Todd never felt chained to that particular brand, and it was more of a stepping stone than the end of the road progress-wise.

I still watch Lindsay, too. And her channel has gotten huge in the past couple years.

There are a few Channel Awesome refugees I discovered only well after they left. Todd, Lindsay, Kyle.

A lot of the CA ex-pats are producing incredible work nowadays. Lindsay is a far bigger force on the internet now than she ever was then. Kyle's gotten more niche, Some Jerk's Movie Reviews are great, and Lindsay's been lifting up a lot of newer critics like Jenny Nicholson and Hbomberguy. All worth following up on!

It's just called Your Woman and yeah that/it'd be a fun and interesting episode especially with how underground/good his other shit was.

Because Todd actually knows how to read and play music, maybe? He's just awesome that way 🙂

I wish he would releese full covers of one hit wonders My first pic is I ran

Because songs are bad

Mac Demarco never was a rapper

The problem with Keri Hilson is that she didn't have a personality or enough of a presence in her own songs. Her biggest hit was "Knock You Down", and she's overshadowed by Ne-Yo and Kanye West, two of the biggest names at the time. She was a good "hook girl" for Timbaland and she had success writing for other artists, but she could never cultivate enough of an identity as an artist in her own right. It's a shame because she had some bangers and she had a pretty voice.
