good point about “pop culture distracting from real issues” i’ve always thought saying just that alone is kinda shallow

[@roboelectrooverlord6346]

I believe you can keep up with both at the same time. Unless everyone has a one track mind. Politically and socially aware music has existed for all of time if you know where to look.

[@Ecotasia]

Really enjoyed your analysis on this topic.

[@alicereiter24]

ur channel is the belated post- movie discussion we needed in school 😭

[@Mariellelaracoleman]

❤❤ forever glad that I casually mentioned this song to you that one time!!

Emma, one thing i have to comment on is when you referenced the droppage of people talking about climate change. While this can reflect people's pessimistic thoughts on the world heating up, i think it more reflects everyone's knowledge on the subject. For instance, in 2000 it was a nuisance concept gaining traction, so more people talked about it, but today it is more accepted. So, if everyone has a understanding on the topic why would they need to talk more on the issue.

[@darylfoster7944]

Hardly anyone has an understanding of the topic, including many of the scientists.

your channel is such a hidden gem, thank you for going out of your way to dig into the topics that you do ♥♥

(Feels like summer Video thumbnail) Immediate click! I loved that song, it felt like nobody was recognizing it when I was listening to it though ! Very immediate and specific capture of a present future. Every hot day, families on the sidewalk and brutal knowledge, and the aesthetic/animated visualizer style, and the actual sound of the song detached from meaning are really enjoyable too - it was def in my Spotify wrapped in high school! Voice of a generation

Terminator 2, playground nuclear apocalypse scene, traumatized the ish out of me as a kid

[@Urduhkhan]

I dunno how I got here, but I dig your vibe. Good luck to you!

I like the video style, a lot! I wish there were direct links to material used or referred to in the description like a works cited, esp when specific other videos from this platform are mentioned. I miss annotations. Remember growing up with "reduce, reuse, recycle" and the Ozone Layer and air pollutions and the 2008 2001 vibe of the world to a child? Not related, just live reacting. I wish you could link the music video like KZbin links the climate change wikipedia. Great video essay, I completely have had experiences like this and thought so too, love the song for its direct upfront honesty and also matter of fact as unpnickrf as possible about such a serious thing. Your setup is so pretty btw!!! + 100 thumbs up

[@emmakredl]

added the links in the description! thank you much for watching and for your comments:) I'm glad you got something out of the video!! Being a 2000s kid was so scary:')

[@updownupagain]

Amazing produced video

[@beatsbycommissioner]

gonna watch this later and have an existential crisis

[@not_imy]

After watching this video the point looks so obvious but I never related the issue of climate change to Feel Like Summer before...

[@katyakredl9512]

nice sweater!

[@emmakredl]

HAHA ty

[@tysmalls1420]

i have zero clue why i watching this, i like it tho 👍

[@PLKinka]

I don’t care about what you are talking about but your looks are striking. You look like a preraphaelite model.

[@JB-fp3fb]

I know I've watched too many video essays when I immediately thought this ( @13:45 ) would be a segue into Mark Fisher. This one is good though, so I'll probably watch more.
