Lagtrain, but I'm a long-distance hiker trying to hitch for resupply

[@involuntaryascetic3602]

I think it's very funny that the lyrics of Lagtrain are about missing a train and having to walk miles across the city as a metaphor for depression, but the context of this video completely axes the depression metaphor and makes it literally about a walk that's too long to take on foot.

[@basrengangetch.2042]

[@GiGitteru]

Fucking love this analysis of a comment

[@mi12no]

This makes it even better

[@WingMaster562]

"Maybe the real lagtrain is the friends we made along the way?" In the case of this video, it seems to be valid.

[@cupostuff9929]

This is targeted at the most specific audience ever

[@quintopia]

I've been thinking about this, and I've decided it's not true. While it seems like making a crossover of two specific interest groups only targets those in the middle of the venn diagram, what it seems like in practice is that it actually hits the entire venn diagram--union, not intersection.

[@aleksandersabak]

@@quintopia It was my first exposition to both inabakumori and long distance hiking, and at least one of those caught my interest so either it hits all fields of the venn diagram, or we need to add a third set to it.

[@quintopia]

@@aleksandersabak the third set is "people in the same discord servers as me"

Not only this informed me about existence of long distance hiking culture which i didnt know about, but it also: - has a narrative - meshes well with the reference. The hitchiking thumb pose, as well the trail plaques/emblem/signs bit were clever. Replacing the chickens with plastic bags of trash and empty trail mix -real world memories -endearing message at the end -vibe of "videos i found on NicoNicoDouga in 2010" -looping narrative -10k views (which is alot in 2008, reinforcing the vibe)

[@tikimillie]

The innate human instinct to wander and stay on the move. Our ancestors where nomads, this settling down in one place for the rest off our life goes against our instinctual needs.

[@k_otey]

@@tikimillie plus if you think about it, the main reason we have our brain is for movement; to produce the appropriate movements in response to stimulus. so it shouldn't come as a surprise as to why movement is good for the brain. of course the brain is for thinking, but what thinking is for is essentially just planning movement. thinking of what you're gonna say? you're thinking of how you're gonna move your vocal cords and mouth.

I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail this past year and had some amazing hitches from the most wonderful people. There was an older woman that picked up me and three other smelly-ass dudes from Newfound Gap in the Smokies, drove us more than an hour into town, waited for us to resupply at the grocery store, bought us all McDonald's, then drove us all the way back to trail. Some people are truly too good for this world, and she was certainly not alone in her generosity.

[@PulishYuro]

This is incredible! I love the difference in theme. I usually am very strict when it comes to recreating a piece so theme isn't something I've thought of deviating from. Maybe I'll start to try now! Using the trail signs for arrows was really creative. At the end with the car I was so invested for her to give you a ride. 10/10 story And the mustache? Very unique. I have a handle bar mustache myself but not nearly are curled. Thank you for taking interest in my video and trying it for yourself!
