Song: "My haters can't touch me!" Reality: "Why is everyone laughin! Stop hatin on me!"

Could it be because the target audience its 13yo kids?

[@daltronius]

​@@bazzfromthebackground3696 i find it so funny, bc haters used to mean people who hate you just bc without real reasons, and now every sketchy person online pretends like haters are all just in it for the hate, there isnt any reason to hate logan, you just wanna hate him.

[@salt3685]

I’ve still been pretty good at avoiding it just by being petty. Anytime I am tempted I remind myself “this is just what he wants from you because all engagement is good engagement to him and he’s currently throwing multiple tantrums over it on twitter and youtube just to spite you into hate listening it” which immediately kills any momentum of curiosity lol. I have heard the weird sus parody version though, so all I can say based on that is it probably isn’t as bad as people are making it out to be, but when you’re shoulder to shoulder with two massive red flags you’re not going to get away with just being mid.

It's not necessarily a bad song, it's the context behind it. Like he started so much drama over 1 tweet, said he'd apologize (while advertising this song), and then dropped this instead of apologizing. And still won't apologize.

[@vaderwalks]

I mean, it's kinda bad, but you're right. Releasing a song about how great you are in the middle of a PR crisis is a great way to generate WAY more hate than if it was just a bit of a dud.

@@Nilon241 who thinks of that though, thats such a sensitive thing to do "oh my god i see a storm in a piece of media why didnt they delay it, how offensive" its such a none point imo. think about movies, tv series, etc that have released during hurricanes in the past that have storms in them. a lot of these projects are filmed months prior or even years (films) that have deadlines set.

[@justaguy.literallyjustaguy]

Idk, I think the song is okay, but the music video doesn't fit the vibe of the music so it makes it hard to enjoy it. The video was pretty well-done, but if it were for a song with a harder beat and a more intense rhythm it would have been better; vice versa, if they made a music video for it that fit the comparatively low-key vibes of the rhythm and music then it would have been better. It felt like pairing a Slipknot video with a Dayglow song
