happy very belated birthday x7! can't wait to hear the album!!
I'll be 30 in 6 months I'm not really😭
New Album!? I'm hype, I love your more "Personal" albums. Found myself listening to "Safe" quite a bit last year.
I turned 30 yesterday so wtf, why you do this?
37! FUCK
Man where did the years go for us 🥲
Happy to hear about a new album though
(At half my age I was fifteen, Twice my age I'll be sixty) thats such a sick line
I'm just glad I got the maths right
@DanBull when the bots name has a seizure, and then attempts to put the oldest language (telegram) in the scam, bro they gotta step up
@@danbull uhhhhhhh...
He's gonna make a math rap!
@@mr.brainsgames116 Math, my least favourite video game lol
@@buzzsaw3158 Its still very sad that since a lot of kids are here, a lot of them most likely are still getting scammed.
By the way, I am making a study for my master's degree about nerdcore scenes. Can you help me out? Can you give me like the first 10 nerdcore artist names that come to your head? Or at least 5?
When I turned 30, I felt old. Like real old. Now I'm 36 and I feel younger than ever cause I've done nothing but grow mentally and emotionally over the last 6 years. Being old and feeling old are 2 different things.
I'm turning 30 next month. I've decided to stay young, I don't care what people think.
Embrace the child in you, it's still there!
Good choice keep at it!
Yea, good point. *stops aging*
That's the key to surviving this adult life. Keep the wisdom, but maintain that innocence, that youthful energy how you can. That makes being in your elder statesman age even better.
That's the key to a good and happy life
You will see there is no decision to make. That choice is destined to become an ephemeral illusion, a nice little dream. But mind over matter brings you only so far, the human body is fragile, and so is the mind.
This beat goes crazy, not to mention the flow. So much alliteration and wordplay. Good show Dan Bull!
Shout out to Tone Jonez for the beat
Dan, I'm sixteen, and I just wanted to say that growing up, you were what got me and my best friend into music. Every day or so we'd hang out and check out all your songs on youtube, and now seven years later you're still one of our favorites. Thank you for the impact you've had on us and so many other people
And you get a reply from a scam bot. Yay
Wow man that bot is really targeted. wth
As someone who just hit the 23rd anniversary of my 21st birthday, I feel this.
Genesis Elijah has a great voice, thanks for including him!
it was my honour
Amen
@@fiusionmaster3241 I never heard of this person, but its nice to see the scene grow more and more, though this isn't technically nerdcore, but dan bull is a goat.

@@PauloSousa-hu9up Dan Bull, CG5, MC Chris, Fabvl and MC Lars, are the first that come to my mind, but I have no idea if they are any good. Sorry for not being able to help you more.
@@fiusionmaster3241 Hey! Much love, and thanks for sharing, but as I said there is a reason why I reached out to you, do you mind if I use this data for my thesis?
I am a portuguese master's student in Sociology at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FLUP) under the guidance of professor Paula Guerra and I want to study nerdcore scenes on youtube. With this exercise, I am collecting names so that I can see how the scene looks (symbolically), in an exploratory phase, with the help of the fandom and the communities. I think this is a quick sum of my informed consent. But I can send it to you entirely so that you can read everything that I am trying to accomplish. (The reason I am not doing it already it's because I think my comment gets erased, probably because it's considered spam.)
(I also want to make a note that the collection of this data will be purely academic and that anonymity will be guaranteed, my intention is to look at this data in a grouping logic of all participants and not refer to each respondent their personal choices.)
Thank you so much!
Any sort of question or doubt you might have, please don't hesitate to ask, I don't want you to think I'm trying to dupe you in any way and I want, as possible, to avoid any misunderstandings.
PS: Im not looking for "good" artists dont you worry, I litterally wanted what you just gave me and it helps a lot, many thanks!
Boy this whole thing with not seeing myself as an "old" hits the most bruised part. Just so true - it's so tough to become older on the inside. One old song has similar lyrics: big trouble - getting old without getting wiser.
Soft announcement of new personal album and i already can't wait. Well, i guess we know 2 songs off the album already.
Very true! I see a lot of people who aren't learning life's lessons as they age, and it's a real problem in the wider workforce.
I'm 21, 9 more years to go for me, until I can TRULY understand this song.
setting a reminder 9 years from now to come back and comment on this
@@ratboygirl
Bold of you to assume that UA-cam will still be around after the nukes drop.
@@JameyMcQueenbold of you to assume the nukes drop.
This is such a vibe. I might be young but I still feel where the message is coming from, I'm tryna make sure I don't waste the time that I've got while I've still got it.
I’m 22, so Imma try to keep the message of this song in mind. I got time, but not unlimited time
23 here, I kinda feel old already. I know it's not the same thing, but I look back at my life just a few years ago, or during middle school, high school, elementary, and I feel so far removed from my younger self.
@@evanblake5252 24,same felling
23 and it resonates a lot, we worry about what people think and do what others did even though they regret it.
21 and full of anxiety XD
27 I feel like I'm already 30 but inside I feel 16 😭
Hey, don't ever give up.
I'm actually 30 and still feel like I'm 20, with wisdom that I learn vicariously through others.
Take care of yourself and stay legendary Dan Bull, and your whole crew.
You too!
Take care gentelman
That sounds like a lyric of this song xd
I just turned 21 feels likes the time was pull out from underneath me, been here since i was 15, you got me through Chemo and car trips, really should have met up with you for my make a wish but hindsight is 2020.
you'll always be one of my favorite artist of all time. And hopefully one day i can have children that i can have enjoy this great and wonderful talent that you have shown the world.
Keep up the great work and heres to another 30 years!
I'm a teen, and yet I've always listened to the warnings heeded by those older than me. I never waste my time and live my life at this age through the pursuit of knowledge and an amalgamation of skills :)
I enjoy the notions of humanism you dish out to my generation through music. Thank you forever and always as a fellow human. I'll attempt to better this world to unify our species, no matter how cheesy that sounds now.
This is a freaking anthem. I just turned 30 this past year. Thanks for making this incredible track Dan and Genesis!
Happy birthday Dan.
Thanks for the heart Dan.
Got to 30 last year, and i gotta say, this track does all the right shit.
Well done Dan
Thought to myself after coming in from work, "Haven't listened to Dan Bull in a bit, let's see what he's been working at." This was something so beautifully bittersweet! Reminds me of a more updated "30/90" that song by Johnathan Larson (aka the man who made "RENT") and was also freaked about being 30 himself back in 1990. The more things change the more they stay the same. Being halfway through my 20s I'm not too fond of my youthful days growing further away with each year, so I really needed to hear that line "You're always young to somebody."
Dan Bull is one of the best at what he does. This song definitely makes me wonder where I'll be at 30
BRO - this is incredible. 1,000,000/10
You know, my favorite Dan content has always been the stuff where a theme is really committed to. No sudden 4th wall rap breaks or brags or silly, witty jokes (not that I don't also really enjoy those songs too). But just a total artistic rap rendition of a topic is...chefs kiss. Civilization rap comes to mind, and all the personal songs that tackle things like the struggle with autism. This is one of those songs for me, and the flow in the baggy jeans, gimme back my teens, ache section is absolute fricken fire. Love to see it Dan, good stuff
I turned 30 last month.
And this song encapsulates everything I am currently feeling.
I had to grow up fast and now im feeling every bit of youth i had was robbed from me.
Thanks Dan for creating another masterpiece.
Happy birthday, Dan
Love the pace and essence of patience and warmth dripping off every line.
Precise emotional piece Dan, well in!
It's so awesome to see you still going, Dan. I listened to you a lot in high school and loved The Garden. Now there's this song and next year I'll turn 30. Time flies and drags, jeez. Glad to see you, man!
Fantastic flow, beautiful beat, and relatable lyrics... awesome as always! I hope that you these days feel proud of whom you are and what you've done - you certainly deserve that far more than most!! My 30s weren't my favourite; half of 40s were wild and depressed. Since 45, life's been good, and the upcoming 50s look even better. I look forward to your turning-40 song! :)
Justed turned 30 Dan, sent you a message on FB when i was 22ish and you replied and it made my world at a time i felt like shit bro, I'm Still out here living and trying my best for everyone. Always loved your lyrics and home truthes your personel albums have to say about us and how we live, Hoping your live is everything you ever needed and hoping one day in this life or the next we can have a chat about life over drinks :) Stay happy Dan.
Been listening to you for nine years, man. Got some of your old stuff saved and still liking your new stuff. I turn 30 this year and I feel this song bad, mate. Cheers.
Man, you may have 37 or 60 but your music still amazing. Please keep that way
Happy Birthday Dan!
Great song I'm 40 this year life is just beginning!!
This man makes my day 🔥
@@official_DanBull.. I'm honored Dan but you see I'm studying in a university and my Parents are ASIAN ( u know right) 🙂
As some one who turns 30 this year, thank you. I still wake up every day and hunt new experiences and never stop learning new things.
20, 30, or 60 I'll always be listening to dan
Nice song.
Great for those of us in our thirties still thinking like we're younger than we are.
Great job.
Loved it.
I think this is a very inspiring and motivating song.
During the past two years, I've come to realise that time moves extremely fast and that if I want to do something, I'd better start now instead of postponing things or waiting for "the right time".
I feel like this song really cements my impression.
Can’t stop listening to this. So pertinent to my life, such a great beat.
I love your songs danbull your my favourite singer
I'm still young. Very young. But this song gave me a new perspective in life, so I decided to live my life to the max while I still can
i remember listening to your music as a child, this brings back a lot of nostalgia
That was brilliant! I remember the feeling - Childhood is over!!
Perfect timing, Dan. I turn 30 in four weeks... Started listening to you when the Skyrim rap came out and I was 18. You've put out a lot of great music, and I'm glad it's continuing. But thanks again for the punch in the face of how depressed I should be now that I'm about to be "middle aged."
Hey Dan, awesome work as always! started listening to you at 13 and cant believe I havent heard any of your work in the last 4 years. You've always been incredible at bring deeper meaning and thoughts into your raps, your civilization epic rap is one of my all time favourites. Never stop man! I only hope you enjoy making the songs as much as I enjoy hearing them!
I'm 24, and I feel like I am wasting my 20s. This song helped me feel not alone. Thank you
Same.
I’m 28, and I’ve pretty much been confined to my bed since 22. I guarantee you’re doing better on that front than I am. Cherish your friends as much as you possibly can. Nurture your health and your relationships. I had more friends than I could count back then. Now they’re all either moved away, in jail, dead, or dead to me.
I’m just 20 but ngl kinda nervous never thought I made it this far
@@steampunkGC Me too, I never thought I would make it to my teens, or adulthood. I figured I would have got killed or something. I still might, but it isn't a worry of mine anymore.
Same here. I'll be 23 in a few months and often feel like I've already wasted half of my 20's 🫥
what a perfect beat choice for the subject of the song, absolutely astounding song. can't wait for the album.
I spent my 30th in a Hospital alone. Probably not the best way to enter your 3rd Decade. But this song oddly enough kinda comforts me, like especially at "you'll always young to someone" Helping me get through the day on that one.
You're speaking the truth, time goes so fast and you would think that what I wasted my time on, Mr mistakes but still I like to see that I can still enjoy life to the Fullest
I absolutely adore your more personal music. Those albums got me through some bad times in high school so from the bottom of my heart thank you and I’m super excited for this one
Hey Dan, It's crazy to think that I've listened to your music for almost a decade, nearly half my life at this point. I'm always happy to see your videos, they've helped me a lot through the years, especially after I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at 11. Time truly flies by when you're not paying attention, huh? Despite being told by my peers that I'm mature, I know I still have a lot of growing up to do, but I know enough to remember to have fun, no matter what. Enjoy life and all it gives you, good and bad, and it will all be okay. Looking forward to the next few decades. Can't wait to see what you do next. Take care Dan.
I think I started watching your channel when I was 10, and I'm over twice that these days. I think I'll take my quarter life crisis in stride, actually. Keep balling Dan
Hope to still hear your music even when your in 40's and 50's.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN
Dam this song brings the truth with beauty. I'm 32 repeat repeat repeat. Respect man.
this is the best sounding dan bull song I've heard in a long time, love the instrumental and the quality
im 18 and i remmber playing mincraft playing your music all day. amazing work you really have left a legacy. thats the best thing about life. u can create a legacy and it feels so good when you achive it . well done on this one. even tho 7 year old sound can still pop today
@@DanBull.05 heyy where can i hit you up ❤️
30 aint nuthin. 40 is when your bits and pieces really start falling apart :) fantastic song as always!
This year I turn 20. Time feels to go faster, yet I just finding what the hell I am. My grandpa is not... feeling good, so I've been contemplating mortality lately. He seems like a carcass of who he was, but somehow sometimes I see sparks inside his eyes. He is 70 now, yet sometimes, I feel I might be the child he was. It is strange, life's funny.
Seriously man, your music has saved me enough times. I think it's time for me to save myself and get to 70 like my tata.
Big love Dan, excellent song - left me feeling melancholic !
So glad to know I'll soon get to listen more of your personal music Dan
Love you, Dan 💜
this song is under appreciated on so many levels
Wow, this popped up in my Spotify recommended. I remember years ago listening to your videogame verses; always been such a wicked lyricist amidst the fun songs
25. I was diagnosed with autism, ocd, adhd, and a serious anxiety disorder when I was 20 after I had to drop out of college because I couldn’t physically keep up with the workload. It was made clear to me when I started therapy at 21 that I would be relearning everything from the ground up. I’ve had to spend the last 4 years of my life learning things I should have learned in my early teens or even before that. Now sometimes it’s hard to look at myself and see anything but a failure because I’m a 25 year old man who more often feels like I have the skills and knowledge of someone in his mid teens if not earlier. But the world ain’t fair and they expect you to act the way you look. It’s rough out there. But I’m trying to lay down a road for my niece and nephews to follow. My nephew has already been diagnosed with ocd and he has separation anxiety. My second nephew might have autism like me. My third nephew was just born but he struggled with speech which I hear is a bad sign. I’m thankful that my niece seems “normal” but i want my nephews and her to see what I’ve done. See that looking for help is never a waste of time and you’re never too old to begin. I want them to look at me and know that they can do whatever it is that they want if they’re willing to work for it.
I'm 16 but this songs is not only amazing sounding but it's flow and message is amazing and eye opening! Good job dude!.
This song is the epitome of cool and really hits me where it's tender. How can I be this age and still not know what the hell I'm doing? Looking forward to the new album!
I'm only 24, but I can't help but feel old after working every day and fantasizing about what I'd rather be doing instead of getting busy and working towards what I really want. I'm done wasting time. Thank you Dan.
Dan Bull and Genesis Elijah? What a collab!
Very hyped for the album, this is what I’ve wanted for so long!
I don't know if you'll find this strange, but this song actually makes me feel really happy. It's not something like, "Oh boy, imagine being THAT old, wow, haha," or something stupid and trivial like that. I enjoy this kind of existential consideration. It's nice to see someone who exists more in the mainstream confronting concepts that most people would avoid for fear of being reminded of reality. We live in those reminders, not despite them. So, thank you for making this, Dan Bull.
3 weeks ago I saw that I had a refrain from a some song as my steam bio. I can't remember the last time I looked at my steam bio and it took me 3 weeks to remember where it even came from. It was from your song "Generation gaming". I literally JUST remembered from what song it was and it gave me flashback chills man. I used to love your songs when I was a kid! I'm younger than you but also don't feel young anymore. Anyway, I hope you're doing well! Keep making music and keep gaming 😄
@danbull you might wanna check this out, someone scamming in your name
This cuts deep. Thanks, Dan. Stay alive!
That was great! I like that it was despairing, but, then got a bit more hopeful as it went on. Great, emotional song.
32 years. Feels like only yesterday I was pulling all nighters cranking out essays and homework, games of LoL before the season ended, the newest WoW expansion, etc. Do I have regrets? Sure. I just knew I was gonna be a young upstart in the indie gaming developer scene but here I am with nothing but abandoned demos and plans. I regret the time lost, but as said in the song, we're all young to someone. So long as we draw breath, it isn't too late. Mind the time that has passed, learn from it, and use it for a future that can look back on this time with no regrets
I just turned 30, i feel this so hard. Great song!!
So to start off, the song has a killer awesome OG gangster beat to it, gave me big Method Man vibes and as an elder millennial that was raised on Method Man, I'm all about it! 👏👏
And as for being 30, I just hit 30 last year and this is by far my most favorite decade of life. I had a physical and mental glow up and I've come to understand that my childhood was my Caterpie phase, my 20s was my Metapod phase, and now I have fully metamorphosed--evolving into a Butterfree and have thus ascended taking flight.
Normally I'm a lurker, but this hit me in the transcendental feels and I wanted to say, great job, dude!
Been a fan of yours probably for almost a decade by this point and there is something magical about getting down and dancing to one of your favorite artists with your baby girl for the exact same reason why she's obsessed with the same music--also feeling like a true OG gamer in explaining to her what Minecraft alpha really looked like and how the introduction of redstone was mind-blowing in itself.
I don't know if you ever get told this often enough, but the same people that were getting down to your music almost a decade ago are now getting down to the same music with their kids so now you are literally a household name and you're transcending generationa!
So again, great job and keep making music and we'll keep dancing to it, even when we're in our little mobile scooters 50 years from now! 💖🥰✌️✨
This is my TED talk!
Edit: have to correct the mistakes because I used talk-to-text and it tries its very best but since I did make it known that I do use talk-to-text, everything I am saying does come from the heart! 💖
Hey Dan, been a massive fan for the last decade and been so good to see you doing well! Still bumping the Minecraft rap reminiscing on the Beta days
I love this song. Such a vibe. Such a vibe.
Loved doing this video! Really different from anything I've ever done, and I loved the result. Great song as always, Dan!
Thank you for making it, I also just love the colours
@@danbull 🥰
Im so excited for my Dan Bull personalized music
Dan, you made us youths childhoods. You def did alot.
We´ll be young forever, king.
Bro I can't believe you're 37 I'm 26 I've been watching your channel for so long and I don't regret it
Gonna be 33 this year. This song perfectly elaborates the feeling and reality of being in your 30’s! Y’all killed it. Excellent work 💪
This is straight truth man
Love it! cant wait for the album
Man I’ve been listening you for so long this is a straight banger swear down I’m Turning 21 but I still really relate to this keep spitting bars mate
Turning 29 next month, gonna make this last year of my twenties a hell raise. I missed out on a lot growing up so I'm gonna take those risks, then when I am thirty I'm gonna rest back and be the older one I should be.
As much as I enjoy the video game stuff I'm so glad you're back to making more personal songs
Thanks For This Song.
I love your stuff, Dan!
I'll be singing this song in five years but it's okay. Can't wait for his music when he's 50.
I love it Dan!!! Keep it up man
Word... This hits so deep.
Amazing!
I'll be 29 in March and this was so hard to listen to. I've been finally realizing how much time has passed me by lately, realizing how old people I know have gotten, realize how little time I have left with some of them. Realizing that things are changing and passing me by because I'm not part of the younger generation anymore. I may be a young millennial, but I don't feel young anymore. I don't feel old, but I can feel myself slowing down, little by little.
The fact that youtubers I grew up with are being sponsored by multivitamins now? That hit me like a ton of bricks.
Love your Rap videos keep up the good work and I wish you could be in the next ERB video.
Can i just say with every new song that u release it gets even better every time!!!! every new song is a masterpiece and the freaking time you take on them you are truly amazing dan!!!
This is great stuff Dan!
"Following dreams is what keeps us alive"
Yea.. I think thats whats missing for alot of people these days.
Dude! That wasssss ffffFIRE! 🔥 HARDCORE!
