It’s 2022 and at least once every year I find myself on a JGeeks marathon. I’m in no way Māori or a Kiwi, as I’m just a random kid in California💀 BUT I grew up watching these videos and these boys have been so silent for so long :(( I WANT A JGEEKS REUNION

[@m_iin.]

as a kiwi (māori) I find myself on the same marathon for absolutely no reason but - love these boys, also their integration of māori culture into the (then) current trend. takes the image of us out of the public as ’the past’ (you’d be surprised how māori tradition gets mixed up with being ’extinct’ in modern culture). though oh! i wanted to say that they never split - they're currently doing radio here :) though it was the first i heard of them after a long hiatus, i’m glad they haven't straight up disappeared

[@jdogden1118]

@@m_iin. oh my gosh thank you so much it’s nice to hear that they’re even alive 😅😅 what radio station are they working with??

[@Ule683]

N I thought some people forgot about em 😅💯 but yes I am on the same train also just growing up and recreating their dances when i was younger jus brings nostalgia n a bunch of memories 😂💯 NZ born but also not Maori, jus like embracing other cultures also 💯💯 100% with their being a reunion

[@Satisfyinglyowned]

[@MarkofGiles]

Congratulations. Those lyrics cover a broad spectrum, from evolution, Maori myths and legends, politics, modern cultures and their emblems, religion, the entertainment medium, fashion, gender stereotyping - it's bound to prove controversial. Thank you for retaining respect for tradition while still moving it forward. And great to see young Eru fronting up so well. Eru, you are living up to your dream, I am proud of you.
