i think sometimes its hard bc the music industry promotes this copy/paste songwriting formula. i agree it's also probably because it's their first time writing a song. i go to a music school and some of the ppl i go to school w put out music like this which is objectively pretty good but very same-y, like they just stuck with music theory/songwriting conventions and didn't really add much creativity

As a fellow stutterer I appreciate that you don't edit yours out. I especially appreciate it when it makes it seem like you're just nervous about selling sex toys.

[@the_snailll]

I agree with you, but it also gives me the same uncomfortable feeling that I feel when I try to force through stuttering when I hear it.

[@AuDHDarling]

Yesss. I am a disabled US American, and so many people here are ashamed of disability or any kind of physical, psychological, or mental difference. We had a president who was a wheelchair user, and he never let the US public see him in it. We have a president who is a stutterer now, and he tries to hide it and push the narrative of having "overcome" it. Our last "president" mocked a reporter with cerebral palsy for his spasms, and systematically cut funding to disabled services. It is okay to be disabled. Some of us are even proud.

[@AuDHDarling]

@@the_snailll , disability is both a social identity on a broad level and, on an individual level, an identity and a health issue. It's okay to feel however you feel about your own stutter, and to not be uncomfortable hearing other people stutter. But I do think that you should stop yourself from discouraging other stutterers from speaking and stuttering if you can. I think of myself as a proud neurodivergent person with ADHD and autism, and how other people with ADHD or autism have hated me for it. Quotes that stand out to me are, "ADHD has ruined my life. How could you be proud?" That also led to the individual following me on an online platform and harassing me with negative comments until I deleted my account. tl;dr: personal shame related to disability is normal and understandable, but please do not project it onto other disabled people

[@emackenzie]

@Kelsey Williams what you said is important but also they didn't seem to be trying to discourage anybody??? All they said was they agreed it was good it wasn't edited but it also reminds them of their own. I'm the same way, I appreciate seeing people embrace the fact that they stutter and not edit it out, but it still brings to mind the jumbled feeling I get when I stutter.

[@emackenzie]

@@AuDHDarling Personally I'd understand and agree with your response 100% if they said "It reminds me of how I'm uncomfortable with my stutter, so I wish he edited his out" but they said the opposite

[@arsonistfemboy]

loved the bit where saji said “ęïkłpœqrčß” and levitated off the ground and vomited blood, and kurtis started singing like shakira and spinning like a helicopter while flailing his legs while his arms do the ganam style dance, that part was really good!

[@ameyuko327]

I'm only 10 minutes in and saw only two songs, but so far I've got to say their biggest mistake in trying to make "the song of the summer" is making it a breakup song; And I know breakups are something that everyone experiences, but it just seems like they're really trying to be the next Olivia R. (I don't remember) with the overall tune and the yelling vocals Update: yeah, (almost) everyone is trying to be the next Olivia Rodrigo 😭

[@ps1hagridoufofcharacter]

yeah! i feel like a song of the summer should be more fun. like that song that was the thing in like 2015-ish (?) that was about having a good day or something. it was rhytmic, it was fun, it wasn't emotional or even that complex in composition or melody or whatever, just fun to hum along with and, dare i say, uplifting

[@labellelace]

I have a personal vendetta against Olivia Rodrigo’s music. Her stuff is boring and has nothing particularly stand-out about it. That’s fine, and true of pretty much all pop artists, but they aren’t usually lorded as being ground breaking and genre defining?? I personally can appreciate when artists blend music styles and take influence from artists of genres they personally enjoy. Having said that, I can’t stand the whiney-ass vocals she uses. This isn’t pop punk, it’s not emo, it’s just annoying. And then ill informed idiots wanted to credit OLIVIA RODRIGO for the so-called “revival” of pop punk???? ejdjskdjsjdjwidk I was in the car with friends the first time I heard driver’s license, months and MONTHS after it had been released, because I don’t listen to the radio, use tiktok, or stream pop music. I remember scrunching up my nose and asking, “wtf is this song, it sucks” and all of my friends being like, “?????? what do you MEAN what is this song???? it’s all that’s been on for the past 3 months.” It was pretty funny lol Long story short: pop music is mindless and bad, which is FINE, it is written to be vaguely appealing the to greatest possible audience, but as soon as you start pretending otherwise? Yeah, it’s annoying lol. Pop music is a capitalist money making machine, and I can’t be convinced otherwise. I’m a pretentious prick and I know it, but at least I have taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ameyuko327]

@@ps1hagridoufofcharacter Exactly!! Even better when you can't even tell what the lyrics are and just vibe to the melody; and the melody itself also doesn't need to be anything special, it just needs to sound, as you said: cheery and fun!

[@miriones]

i wish everyone just made music for the sake of just making songs they like and letting them become hits by themselves. no trying to become the next "this person" or "that person. they would sound more authentic and unique, songs nowadays almost sound the same.

[@ps1hagridoufofcharacter]

​@@miriones i dont think its a modern problem. just listen to, for example, any of 80s pop groups and idols. like really listen to their discographies. the earliest ones maybe had something going for them, but after that it's the same blueprint (and the same sound) being repeated because it's worked before. trends form. but i do see your point, music (especially pop music) is very commercial. That's the whole point of it, though. the artist needs to make money, the label needs to make money, the radio station needs to make money... it's all a numbers game. the biggest pop idols and groups are very manufactured to specifically appeal to the widest audience. it's cynical and its frustrating, but that's just how it is. i wish it could be different, too, but, well. capitalism i guess.

[@sadwasdead5065]

i don't think the songs are bad, i even think the girl who sang b.o.m.b has some potential to be really interesting, but they all sound so similar. i think they should really define what they want to do and how they want to do it instead of trying to please the algorithm, even if it means not getting as much interaction (though now that i think about it, gathering a large enough following with generic songs to then pursue more unique styles of music isn't exactly a bad idea). every artist should bring something new to the table.

[@saranlinx9301]

i actually listen to quite a few of her songs but i also know they're pretty mediocre and similar. they're good dance songs to hype myself up, but nothing super noteworthy. i found her though through my favourite musician mothica since they're friends and have collabed. mothica is really good i think, sounds more unique in her recent stuff which is awesome.

[@GlimmerOfAComet]

I really like her voice, but all her songs are clearly meant to go viral on TikTok, and sound pretty much the same. Then again, even huge artists are being asked to make music specifically for TikTok, so I can't blame her for just trying that strategy.

[@scarlett6143]

Maybe it's just me being weirdly specific, but a summer song to me should be upbeat and feel like I can drive around a scenic area or run along the beach laughing with my friends to it. Also, that girl with the country song manufactured an accent for the song?? Unforgivable.

[@gh0stcup]

So happy I got my invite to Kurtis's annual beach party!!! Shame that Saji wasn't on the list tho 😕

[@lilapopp3454]

IM LITERALLY SOOOO IN LOVE WITH THIS COLLAB I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH OH MY GOD

[@Persona_wthmi]

man i was in such a horrible mood and then i got a notif of both of my favorite youtubers collabing AAHHHH

[@AaronYorkYT]

so excited to finally hear the true song of the summer

[@jlah_]

just Saji & Kurtis constantly forgetting that the southern hemisphere exists

[@wannabeismyuser]

Saji I think your hair has been growing in reverse again!

[@futuristic.handgun]

I'm living for this colab. 🥰

SAJI KURTIS COLLAB AND IT'S 41 MINUTES DAMNN

[@emilydaniels8948]

this is the collab of the winter

[@jasquerotte9151]

I wasn't expecting it, but i really loved the fact that you just listened to and fairly rated the songs, i'd love more content like this. Also the part where you french kissed Kurtis was pretty weird but overall good video.

[@the_snailll]

i haven't watched this whole video yet but my idea of "song of the summer" is the married life song from up. that's just what summer is to me

[@erinpierce83]

Saji, your hair. Omg. It’s the look for you. I can’t look away. I love it so much.

[@badpiggies4926]

He looks 13 years old

[@Anya-gf3rg]

WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THE AMOUNT OF SUBSCRIBERS, AND VIEWS YOU HAVE- I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY THAT YOU'RE GROWING!!!!! It's just so cool to see bigger south asian youtubers :)))

[@XiaoIsMyHusbandBTW]

These aren’t bad songs they just feel very copy and paste and remind me of like 50 different songs I’ve heard before. Also they sound kinda out dated like they’d be great for like 2018/2019 but now the sound is a little different

[@jessahca5704]

i feel like there’s a space for it, i definitely know artists who put out this style of music to this day

[@Militant_Vegan]

20:18 I think ppl always film tiktoks in their car because it’s probably the only place they can be alone. Filming urself is kinda embarrassing so u don’t wanna be around people in public, at work, or at home while doing it. Even in ur bedroom u can still be heard by family members/roommates. But that’s just a theory a game theory.

[@studywithselene5490]

for me Pale Waves- Television Romance is *the* summer song, it's not like it has generic summer song traits; it just feels like summer to me:)

You need better coping skills. If they do anything you don't like you'll be disappointed to such an extreme because you choose to emotionally rely on two random men you don't know

[@hannagee7]

My song of the year 2023 is definitely "free me" by anees, it's just an upbeat, groovy selflove anthem and is the most fun song to listen to I've heard in a long time.

[@Jade-ih2mk]

upsahl’s music is actually super good. i saw her when she was opening for a small artist in 2018 and her first few EPs are banging and her album slaps

[@martinatucker4795]

As someone who's worked at an old navy I can firmly say a majority of them give old navy playlist vibes

[@geturwish]

You guys are a LOT nicer than me.

[@bribripittman230]

AS SOON AS I SAW THIS VIDEO I SCREAMED I NEEDED THIS COLLAB SOSOSO BAD FOR THE LONGEST TIME MY ACTUAL TWO FAVORITE KZbinRS

[@noelou7946]

It’s the way they so confidently say “this is the song of the summer! Try not to get too excited” or whatever with their not even mediocre pop shit. That’s what makes it soo cringe. The overconfidence

[@CJPDcjpd]

aritzia is really popular in the US rn mainly like clean girl aesthetic you can find them in the US and not just major cities, so kurtis wasn't that wrong

[@tiredfrog308]

Great video! You guys have a great dynamic. I did find the summer jokes extra hilarious as it is currently summer in my country 😂 But keep it up, guys!

[@chuckersonn]

i absolutely NEED kurtis to know that aritzia isn't just in canada i know a lot of people order it online in the U.S. too but the whole thing led to his identity crisis and i just need him to know he was right the first time

[@scootie_scoot]

I think there’s some in the west coast as well, I remember an aritzia in a mall I lived by when I lived in seattle

[@opxlsky_]

Kurtis' skin looks flawless

UPSAHL is such a good artist, I was so surprised to see them mentioned here. They got some fire music overall. Highkey recommend.

[@vlovesyapping]

the earrings during the ad break???? are those jhumkas i see???? slay!!!!!!!

[@briclare]

26:13 i feel so bad because she seemed so happy but then she says the word ‘bleep’ in her song… like…no…

[@YoungRebelRoyalty]

Wait didn't Kurtis' song become number one on at least one chart? I remember that happening. We tried so hard lol.

[@jadebbb]

the thing about the one song being released in september is so funny cause like it will be summer in the southern hemisphere so technically it is still the song of the summer 😭😭😭😭

[@Yorokobi224]

I always thought a song of the summer was something that could be sung by everyone young and old
