in it's very essence, memes are using the enigmatic, the awkward, the uncanny as a form of parody. pretty much it's like 1 step removed from David Foster Wallace's musings on irony.....however all this doesn't matter because you have an anime avatar you dirty bridge troll.
@@tazmon122 ur sincerely a fuckin idiot why are u getting mad at him all he said was its not a bad thing to be memed thats how he found an grew to appreciate the group ... you idiot
Their meme is like the exact opposite of the smash mouth meme! The gag of the All Star meme is that's it's an over saturation of a song that is generally held to be bad, but the gag of the Never Meant meme is that it's an over saturation of a song that is generally understood to be good.
I don't think it's so much All Star being bad so much as it is tacky, corny, poppy, etc. I haven't seen many Never Meant memes yet, but the funny thing about them is probably the fact that they're meme-ing such a serious and non-poppy song/band lol
Mike's such an amazing dude. Was in Cap'n Jazz and American Football, probably two of the most influential emo bands ever, and he seems super chill. Big love
We're not doing it to make fun of you!!! We do it because the song is such an emo banger and lovable that putting it out of context is so jarring and ridiculous.
I feel like the Never Meant memes are done out of genuine love and appreciation. They are usually atleast well crafted memes. Plus that song is just an absolute banger. I feel like people appreciate American Football unironically far far more than Smash Mouth.
It's actually so unbelievably interesting and great to hear Mike's feedback on the whole meme thing, I feel the same way and it's not even my band or song(s). like why and how did American Football become this smash mouth tier Internet meme culture thing? Like it's kind of irritating actually, seems like almost all the American Football love on the Internet is laced with either this ironic sensibility and/or memes, like American football and their songs are just a platform to make annoying self-referencing jokes regarding the word "emo" and it's perceived facets, like the songs or band is funny somehow and not actually good music. It's cool to at least see that they clearly aren't totally comfortable with it and kinda wonder where it's coming from, like Nate said haha it's not like they're smash mouth or something, so the feeling like they're being made fun of like Mike talks about, of course seems unwarranted and misguided. I understand that a lot of it is sarcastic and the people making fun of American football probably actually like them and are also making fun of themselves, and its a loving type of making fun or they're being ironic or whatever, etc. etc. but do they really like American football though? Certainly not as much as they do perpetuating their existence as mainly just an Internet meme now and something to be referenced in the context of a joke. Frankly, the whole thing has gotten old, and it would be piss me off too if it were my band, even more than it already does.
I mean if we are talking specifically about the never meant audio switch-out memes yeah it was fucking hilarious the first 17 times and there are a couple pretty good ones out there but it opened up a fucking can of worms for sure and it certainly has lost it's magic and become pretty damn belabored.
American Football always felt kinda underappreciated to me because I’ve been listening to them for over a decade when i used to browse /mu/ To see them blow up like this is kinda crazy
They were never that underrated though, LP¹ is basically babby's first emo record, as well as babby's first mathrock. They're almost constantly touted as the most listenable, easy "in" to those genres and deservedly so. It's a legendary record.
He is insecure. He was totally embarrassed that A Star is Born didn't win the big awards = he didn't win best film/director or whatever the hell it was nominated for. The fact that this was reported is pretty pathetic, actually.
@@JoshJimenez_ Honestly, I don't know the man but I follow/have followed celebs and this is only my instinct. He seems on the surface really impressive but I think he overcompensates. Plus, his personal life before he blew up was...rocky. He's the picture of a person that's willing to do anything to get to the top. Again, the fact that it's been reported that he was upset for not getting those awards, to me, speaks volumes. But who am I except a person that admires creative people but I refuse to put them up on a pedestal like we tend to do here. ;)
@2sacks1 You watch steven crowder lmao. You're an incel dipshit who spends his time replying to everyone because you're so enraged by the fact that women are turned off by your bad hygiene, lack of a personality and obnoxious stupidity.
This is the best over/under ever. To this day, I just don't know how Cooper has managed to make that good on American Sniper. I remember thinking "What the fuck?! Is Eastwood finally going nuts? And the guy actually made it good. Still waiting for NASA's report about the case
omg nate we love you so much
mike, you're alright
Lol I'm going to be your second like.
You guys should start a game show where American football sets me up on blind dates with celebrates or celibate spiritual advisors.
American Football rates an American football team. Makes sense.
In a somewhat ignorant fashion, but yes.
i demand to know what they said about greta van fleet lol
2sacks1 what the fuck are you even saying
@2sacks1 leave my children alone
@2sacks1 technically owl city is a postal service cover band
2sacks1 You fell for that nostalgia novelty Halloween dressed bait band?! No wonder you’re all caps crazy.
Jamie its a meme u dip
Now we know why Mike was the only one making music during the hiatus, the other bands members were living under a rock apparently
I only know the drummer got his PhD... so he was actually busy haha.
Except Nate wasn't in the band originally, so not technically part of their hiatus- and he did make music during that time.
Mike is actually thatistheplan
Legendary beanie rare appearance
Thatistheplan was never meant...

Heavy Drizzle I can’t tell if he’s serious. Some of his comments are so outrageous and generally hilarious.
Mike's such an amazing dude. Was in Cap'n Jazz and American Football, probably two of the most influential emo bands ever, and he seems super chill. Big love
Picking Nate was the best decision since he is never aware of the stuff that's happening lmao
We're not doing it to make fun of you!!! We do it because the song is such an emo banger and lovable that putting it out of context is so jarring and ridiculous.
yeah we are
In Mike Kinsella we trust
i love how unaware of everything nate is :D
The Bradley Cooper thing was so true, I thought i was the only one.
kirch honest to god, I didn’t know who he was until kinsella mentioned him lmao
Never Meant memes are definitely a compliment
the memes are fully loving!!! ❤️❤️💕💕

(My response to never meant memes) while I find them funny, I love the authenticity of the song and it seriously changed me

Mike's brother. Cool.

It’s wild how he explained the New England Patriots are the Donald Trump of football to a non-sports fan and he understood that in a millisecond

supergangsterish1 American Football? They’re indie royalty dude
I love Nate so much
Greta Van Fleet is just Zeppelin 1 as a band. Most Unoriginal musical act of the 21st century so far.
Chris Kelly calling them Zep 1 is too much of a compliment. How Many More Times is several times more creative than anything they've touched
fuck off loser
More like a shitty cosplay theatre production version led Zeppelin.
Melt Except how many more times is a howling wolf cover
They are responsible for one of my favorite emo albums.
I'm just now finding this. It's way too short!

the only time they didn't draw them bad at the end.

how is it not against TOS to just not include what they said they were going to include lol
