DO COLLEGE KIDS KNOW 80s MUSIC? #9 (REACT: Do They Know It?)

[@camcamcam9507]

How ON EARTH is it possible that only 3 people recognised Queen? I mean it's Queen, for gods sake

[@ZenoGoreng]

[@rishabhsingh-yv9ns]

*EXACTLY*

It’s usually every song they react to! It makes me lose faith in the young people who will be in charge of music. If it’s not Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jonas brothers they have no clue.

i'm only a few years older than some of these reactors and i'm shocked not many of them knew Queen or Wham. I guess being a British kid, we were raised on the music of Freddie Mercury and George Michael

[@sleepingrose3116]

That and Last Christmas is the only Wham! song i Know...or even George Michael song. But another one bites the dust for me was the opposite, I was like it's Queen, I know this song...But what is the title? Ya know until Freddie sung it...

[@gracedelisle1060]

Gracie Cowan I’m younger then them and Ik a lot of these songs

[@marti6650]

Incredible how they did not know “With Or Without You” or that “Another One Bites The Dust” was by Queen🙈🙈

[@ZenoGoreng]

I should really make a “make me feel old” playlist. And it will be filled with “do they know it?” videos.

[@rubellite7841]

Zeno don't worry, I'm 14 and 8 knew most of the songs/artists. I consider senior citizen age to be "old"

[@Reboyo1]

So weird hearing them say they've only heard of U2 because of the album that was auto-downloaded to all iphones a few years ago.

well, i can forgive them, but only because of their reactions after they find out its queen and you see that "DOH" moment in their eyes, knowing they knew it. ;) Nah, its ok, i can understand it with this song and with "we are the champions" because those songs are all over the world of sports. and in sports, they dont usually say what songs are used :)

It's scary how cultural touchstones become fade away and become irrelevant, isn't it? I worked with a 17 year old lad about a year ago who was genuinely surprised that Madonna had a career before Ray of Light when Material Girl came on the radio. Made me feel a million, billion years old!

[@Hawkwinter01]

A bit of trivia, in the time it took for Def Leppard's drummer to recover from the accident, and learn to drum with his foot, Wham became popular and then split up. Also, I remember seeing the first concert Def Leppard played in support of their Hysteria album, and they'd tease the drummer by offering him a beer...to the side missing the arm. You know those are good friends 😏

Interesting bit of trivia: singing "Another One Bites the Dust" to yourself will help you keep proper count when performing CPR. "Stayin' Alive" also works, and is more advisable if you're doing it out loud where people can hear you.
