Woke up thinking of emma greer❤ may she rest in peace. She was so funny, i loved watching her videos and being the same age and feeling like i was growing up with her friend group. She passed on easter 2016, i miss seeing her but im sure her family and friends miss her so much more. ❤

How come we skipped over the fact that Nick is working on a musical???? Really hope we get a current joys rocky horror esq musical, would be sick

[@theinternetisdead]

we hope it sees the light of day someday

[@J.K.E]

I for one think love and pop 1 and 2 have been the best thing to happen to the world recently 😫

[@twix5140]

i do think it’s interesting how many of us are finding this video, in a way, through emma greer as well.

such good conversations in this podcast. i watched for emma greer bc of a clip i saw on tiktok but stayed for the rest. i was really interested in the talk abt concerts these days and i think part of the effect the internet has had on concert culture is that it's always either just no energy at all or people are just going crazy like no respect for anyone else 😭 it's so dystopian to see an artist performing some hype music and the crowd just standing there no dancing no singing js all their phones out, not to sound like "this generation and their damn phones 🧓" but it's js bizarre why are u listening to undercover martyn and not giving at least a lil jump or having fun 😭 i've also seen ppl bringing up how camera phones have made people not want to have fun and dance when they go out to clubs bc everyone is always filming and ppl are always going viral bc ppl wanna clown them for having fun. and then it's like u go to a concert and everyone is js recording (which, same me too) but then thats all they do. it's not like u can upload a shaky video with ur shitty ass singing in the background so they js give nothing 😭 i feel like it creates this weird atmosphere. like i get we're watching someone perform but part of what makes shows fun is like actively enjoying it and dancing to their music. it's js so odd it feels creepy almost when the crowd is js dead and the artist is putting in energy yk or trying to engage w the crowd but then they're not returning the energy. or when the artist is trying to sing and be serious but then the crowd is too loud or someone thinks it's a good time to yell out something "funny" to try and go viral on tiktok. either way, they treat the artist like some form of entertainment which in a way yes but it's also an actual person sharing their art with people. it's like they don't know how to read the room or match the energy. lotta ppl these days are not mindful of why they were invited to the section 🙄🙅‍♀️
