Just Good Chats Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Ok… Famous people… They are all extraterrestrial. They all look weird, creepy, abnormal with disproportionate features. They always look at normal people from a position of superiority, like they’re the leaders of all of us. And they’re always pushing strange, mind-control psyop narratives. I never liked them. I still don’t. I’m telling you, they’re all aliens and they’ve been hiding in plain sight since the McKinley administration. Quote

You’re getting roasted in there, my guy 😂🤣 Quote

boxelder Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Has anyone else ever had a soft spot for this song? It’s such a sweet puppy love kind of type of song. 3 1 Quote

Yea musically it’s great, but once I got out of high school hearing a grown man sing about the prom got pretty cringe. Those lyrics ruin it for me now Quote

thongrider Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I've also thought a lot about that the target audience of Enema were the people least likely to listen to it. I'm not sure if I'm right about that. Quote

_Kyle_ Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I knew a guy in 8th grade that always reminded me of this song. I will always appreciate the diversity added by the tempo/lyrics, and yeah, most of blink's enema-TOYPAJ songs are just high school memories set to music. it's hard to single out any of them for being cringe when they all sort of do it. 4 Quote

Corny, but not overplayed to point of ruin like First Date. Second half of TOYPAJ is so good and holds up better than first half to me. 1 1 Quote

This song meant so much to me from the first time I heard it all the way into my early 20s. Then I kinda grew out of it for a while. But around 2021, I went back to all the music I thought I had outgrown. I started revisiting everything I used to dismiss as “too pop” or “not punk enough” anymore and now I’ve taken it all back, so there’s really no reason for me to hate on a song that talks about adolescence. 3 Quote

boxelder Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Frequently I found TOYPAJ to be a bland, safe emotionally stunted retread. But increasingly I’ve really appreciated the musicality and small subtleties. For a long time I felt like the weird focus on high school was to its detriment. I still feel like Tom was forcing himself to write about that time period for a lot of reasons — retreating psychologically from fame to a simpler time, trying to connect back to when he fell in love with punk as he was falling out of it, feeling commercially expected to. but overall, I’ve oddly come to respect it. There’s something cute about story of a lonely guy, something pure hearted. Even if does feel a little incel adjacent lmao 5 1 Quote

There’s something cute about story of a lonely guy, something pure hearted. Even if does feel a little incel adjacent lmao Yes, interesting how, based on perspective, it can either sound like a very serious and dark, mature record (minus the B-side joke songs and “Happy Holidays”) or also a very fast, sugar-coated pop thing To me, it’s just a great, solid, mature record especially with how massive of a song “Anthem Part 2” is to start it all off They did intend to make it really dark, but as we know, they were asked to add a few happier songs in there to mellow it out (“First Date,” “The Rock Show”) if you listen to Mark singing that part in the second verse you can feel how into it he is, how dark it feels, and how much he’s taken by it. You can picture him in the studio right there, in a quiet room, just fully letting it all out. Hearing it isolated gives me chills Quote
