Therapist's V.A.N. (Bad Omens/Poppy)

[@Bolo75]

So I will be clean 10 years this year. I will ALWAYS be an addict and have had to restructure my life to protect against doing something so stupid again. Great Song, Great Reaction and Great message.

[@aidan475]

Congratulations, it is not easy, you are strong!

Congrats. 7 years in July for me.

1:23 is by far the purest and best reaction one can ask for

[@abbycat181]

Loveeee your perspective! I've watched all of the V.A.N. reactions on KZbin and this is by far my favorite one!

[@martinmiller3743]

Poppy is a case study all by herself...I like your reaction. Bad Omens is one of my favorites. This song musically is fundamentally different for Omens. They are using more synth. Breaking new ground for themselves. Your video popped up outta nowhere. So now you have me as a subscriber. Ive been tempted to post this and similar posts like Charismatic Voice ( On the same artists ) on X but most of my followers do not like this type of music. This is a first having seen a post that delves into the mental aspects of a song. Very cool. I love your energy. I wish you well in all your endeavors... ✌😎

[@bradkohl99]

Poppy is probably in my top 10 artists. She’s so good.

Ai is an addiction. It gives us what we crave and in return we give it more power with each passing nanosecond.

[@ArgentLeftovers]

The most luddite take on the internet? Close.

[@szen2869]

That's an excellent interpretation of the lyrics. Maybe your best analysis yet. Congratulations

[@paulferris2684]

30 years of listening to metal and you're giving me such a different perspective than I have my entire life. Inspirational.

[@chriswest5205]

U have to watch the live version of this song. Incredible

[@jessiehoolahoopsmcgee]

Awesome take, thanks for that. Humanity is addicted to everything that destroys itself. Poppy directed this video too btw, with one of her collaborators. Subscribing for Poppy reactions! Oh and 30 years sober in April

[@toddmueller8948]

Saw Poppy on NXT a few years ago and I've been a big fan since. I Disagree album is a masterpiece.

[@kenhoward2340]

The Live version with both of them is so much better! Noah is much more present. The both sound incredible

[@abidingcookie]

I recently found Poppy, and now I am addicted to her music and cannot stop listening to all of it. That is a good addiction I think.😅

[@ClemsonC17]

That’s why I had to make drastic changes in my life to break addiction. Change the environment it survives in.

[@nickhale9060]

Thank you this community is amazing

[@deletado12]

Great song of poppy/bad omens, great reaction and support, thanks!

[@timhutchinson8485]

New to Bad Omens, I got here via Spiritbox, and I'm intrigued.

[@cosmicneurons1311]

Absolute banger. First learned of and fell in love with Poppy tonight. Excellent artist and talent!

[@anxietygoddess]

Dear Taylor, i stumbled on this video just now, although i watched so many of yours reacting and analyzing other metal pieces. even tho i'm so late, i highly recommend to watch and react to more Poppy songs bc of the lyrical matters, she went through some shit and now she addresses it. i'd be happy to see it, stay safe!

[@Remmy-iq3bs]

What a awesome Therapist!!!! Phenomenal tune. That breakdown is rockin and Poppy is phenomenal

[@shookisalook3832]

I kinda get more of a vibe it’s not about 1 thing, but about everything self destructive that humans do/take part in, humans are pretty damn good at being destructive towards themselves, others, nature, and our planet. Yet we keep going while barely managing any of the issues, not to be all depressing ofc lol just sayin when I listen to it I get the feeling it’s referring to a quite lot not really 1 exact thing, love the video btw❤️

[@bobair2]

Poppy has a way about her that makes you sit up and pay attention and she has had mine for these last six years. I had an addiction to tobacco and have been free of it nearly 10 years and I am glad to be done with it. Poppy is complex and has covered a lot of ground in the 12 years she has been putting out music and some it really cores into the psyche and makes you think-thinking is the key and Poppy lets you know that. I enjoyed your point of view with regards to this video and it's meaning. Poppy rocks!!!

[@MoonO560]

Your face when Poppy said ''everyone hates you'' had me in tears 😭 😭

Your energy is on another level, what a great take

[@aqlexx]

After using something last 5 years, daily, any possible ways I just stopped cold turkey about 35 days ago. Kinda wondering that the addition is in my case. I can't say it costed any afforts to quit. But anyway long story short I love this song. And your reaction is absolutely amazing, love it too👍🤘

[@DarkFairy317]

Nora is in there, you can hear his whisper growl going with Poppy, I love Bad Omens and Poppy. This song is one my new favorite songs.🖤🤘🏼

[@munton5150]

I like your analysis. It’s possible there is a part of her that thinks everyone hates her. And she could be escaping it with this character.

[@mato8494]

I wished she would be my therapist... not just because i need one ... She is so kind, handsome, smart and she has a great taste in Music.. How cool would it be talk to her whilst listening to Metalcore 🥹🥹🥹 sadly i live in Germany 🥺 But anyway she is so awesome 🤗 Greets from Germany

[@williamciuray]

listening to your analysis of this, makes me realize how truly fucked up in the head i truly am

[@myvelvetcrush]

I’ve watched a few reaction videos to this song. Yours is the best by far ✔️

[@Echo3_]

exactly how I react to Poppy!

[@bttm4u]

For me it talks about nature. I don’t know why no one picks it up but Poppy is big on environment and how we destroy it so VAN, talks about how we create fake biomes and we experiment on nature like we don’t need it… but the song slaaaaaapssss hard

[@RJS2303]

Was shocked by this track when it came out. Its a vibe fr

[@rofyle]

Poppy is awesome. I've been a long time fan.

[@aaronhisminiatures6129]

I think there are so many meanings behind the lyrics, looking into Poppy's personal history, I think that this is a nod towards her feelings about titanic Sinclair "creating" her, then her escaping & being the best form of herself no matter the law suits, slander & bullsh*t that has come from him. And she is continuing to KILL IT. He was also allegedly abusive....

[@breadsandwich336]

such an interesting take comparing it to addiction.. i never thought of it that way till u said it but ur spot on ❤

[@Pabxie]

I LOVE THIS REACTIONNN

[@zeri5730]

can u do more bad omens reaction.. love your video

[@grumpygrandz8748]

i really love your videos! you explain theese lyrics in a way i could never put words on myself! + you got that encoureging motivational touch to it.. really helpfull so i thank you for what you are doing ❣

[@Skiamakhos]

IIRC Poppy was Svengali'd by a predatory producer who goes by the stage name Titanic Sinclair. Her whole stage persona was his creation. She's the thing he created that hates him - because he's an abuser. While still together they were sued by an ex girlfriend of his who said he'd made Poppy into a clone of her. The case was thrown out because you can't steal a non-copyrighted fictional identity, but it shows the degree of malign influence he had. Since breaking free of him Poppy's changed her whole musical style, and a lot of her material is essentially excoriating Sinclair.

[@idorion9096]

Poppy is the truth 🙏🙏🙏 🦆🗡️❤️

[@sliversoulfly]

Check out their live performance of Dethrone. If anger from the five stages of grief was a song, that'd be it. Thank you for the well thought reactions and positivity.

[@Impulsive9]

Please give a listen to NF - mansion and hopefully you might start the journey. Dude just spitting facts about life. He is a rapper though but no cussin, pure storyteller.

[@GeneralSic66]

I think it's the addiction to social media, medications, basically modern technology which we actually end up destroying nature due to our addictions.

I agree cops harass me because of my tattoos and piercings but I'm tatted in hearts ❤️ I care about everything ❤

AI is addicting. We spend more time on our devices than with our partners even when they are lying next to us.

[@ubiquinoxxrosiles2766]

Yes! That's exactly the same thought I had, AI

[@WWEKELLYKELLY1234567]

I saw this song as like the finale of her AI online persona she’s been doing for like 10 years

[@Neardarkphotography]

I've never witnessed anyone in real life react to music the same way as reaction channels. The real study needs to be why they do it.

[@christinaserrano6878]

I had the same reaction at 5:42… goosebumps and near tears bc it caught me so off guard 🤣🙌🏼

[@ClarisaAguayo-m2n]

We have also addiction to technology lately and thats exactly whats causing a problem and will get us in a bigger problem with AI since people are also starting to be addicted to it, especially CHATGPT

[@BeWare_I_Live]

I would love to hear you analyze Poppy's song named Choke. It's a good one.

[@YYesImCrazYY]

I'd love to see a reaction to any of throwns newer songs - it's a bit less melodic but if it's somewhat up your alley you should check them out, the lyrics are very interesting imo

[@ClarisaAguayo-m2n]

Could u analize Poppy in her latest interview with Zach? It would be very interesting to know what u think of her since shes still such an enigma

[@MatthewHeyne-kp1th]

I feel like this isn't so much about AI specifically but social media and the effects of the Algorithm on peoples minds/lives. Bad Omens' song Artificial Suicide seems to me to be about killing your virtual self/life. So yeah given that i feel like the addiction you may be feeling in this song is the dopamine addiction that is social media, aka digital meth.

[@JDMan-tf8xc]

No, it's literally you against you...see that's the thing...we can't hide from ourselves....we know everything we did and why....just think about it

[@drsavage3262]

Not all of us even know the concept of "running" from addiction. I've been addicted to substances for almost 30 years. I wish I could rewire my brain. I've been through all the programming and prison systems and everything available. I'm at my wits end. I just don't know what the fuck to do anymore.

[@HeartSupport]

From HI_ImHappy: @drsavage3262 You're right, I don't know what it's like to run from addiction. I can't imagine what it's like; the inability to escape, the constant need, yet hate makes it extremely hard to break the cycle. I don't think there is much I can offer you, but there are people out there who can help you immensely better than I can. It does seem like you want to get better and heal, and you need to hold on to that hope of getting clean and maintaining it, and that hope will drive you. Seeking people out who are in a similar spot could also potentially help; having that support system who is a good influence and who will have your back can help much more than you may think. I wish you the best of luck on your recovery journey, you got this.

Scary mask is a must from Poppy

[@PhotonBread]

I think this is a parallel about Poppy trying to break her shell and get out of the bad relationship she was in with Titanic Sinclair and the image of herself that he created as his pet project. “I am poppy, I am poppy, I am poppy..” Where she was addicted to the fame he created but where she was simply his puppet. This is Poppy, becoming the real Poppy, the natural Poppy. She was feeding the violence against nature. “Picture-perfect image, more powerful every minutе Baby, I am everything that you're not “ “I can erase everything thing that you know, I am death and I am not alone.”

[@theodorebear6714]

I think this is correct. She had to go though so much and trauma has an effect on her psyche and her art. If I was a close friend of hers I would be so proud of her for her strength and her earnesty in her expression in her art of how traumatic it can be when others are trying to control you.

[@aaronhisminiatures6129]

YES!!! dig below the surface in her lyrics (majority of her later songs for sure) and it scratches as the trauma she experienced. I'm so glad someone else understands this ❤

I discover a addition and for me the process of descontinuing a vicious implementing a new healthy habit its more hard to get. This alegory of a Ai learning your weak spots its like you battling with yourself but every time you lose its more hard.😢 my terapist its a veil i will tear up. She give me the weapons for combat but depends of me to complete ths.

From toastaintbad: @jonhyz29 Hi @HeartSupport_Fans, I relate to your post about working on a new healthy habit. It takes awhile until your brain gets used to it. Sometimes it's okay to messed up a few times. Don't give up, I believed you can develop a good habit in the future.

Nailed the AI thing on the head. Instrumentally, there are several ‘stolen ideas’ from TDOPOM album like AI had written the song.

[@bart.pietrzak]

?

[@ShimobeSama]

That's a pretty neat interpretation. Generally, I've been interpreting the meaning of the title through the lens of technology reflecting, refracting, distorting, codifying, then amplifying the seeds of overly simplistic bad ideas into an all-powerful panopticon that comes to engulf and consume all of society into a self-extincting dxxth spiral singularity of dependence (including various forms of addxction), but I like to keep things light & wholesome.

[@theodorebear6714]

*No.* You have an infatuation with such a simple subject. That being substance abuse and addiction. "Violence against nature" is a condemnation of unnatural human behavior and hubris of people who feel entitled to create and corrupt humanity for their own unnatural purposes. The creation of a person who pollutes and wastes is a violent and unnatural act that is agaisnt nature. Look at the abuse of A.I. Artificial intelligence isn't natural like a tree and yet humanity felt entitled to create it when A.I. so dangerous we can't even imagine what it could become. Poppy has a pattern in her artwork where she criticizes industrial trends especially in the music industry. She's a brilliant woman and I can't allow her to be reduced to the idea of substance abuse. Poppy has dealt with horrible things in her life much worse than the personal mistakes of substance abuse.
