caramelldansen was a Swedish song that became popular on Japanese social media years after the group caramell separated but the caramell girl's took their place because of the meme

[@ender7278]

The version in the memes is also a nightcore remix.

I'm never not gonna associate Eurobeat with driving a car to its absolute limits. There really isn't a lot of genres that truely make you feel like you're flying. Even if you're doing the speed limit. Even the slower more ParaPara songs are able to fit so well. Someone once described it as "Passionate Speed" and it fits so well.

The YT algorithm is truly a man of culture. It doesn't fail to show me the videos that foster cultural awareness.

[@peterwroot]

God bless the algorithm for showing me this video. This is great!

This is a broad topic but I think you made it comprehensive. I think we disagree on the definition of eurobeat, but that's fine. It can be endlessly debated lol. It is true that in the '80s, eurobeat was used as a blanket term to describe dance music that came from Europe. But eventually eurobeat became it's own genre, partially thanks to Avex and the Super Eurobeat series. When that started is also debatable lol. Anyway, nice video. I subscribed!

[@CaptainPetrov]

At first I didn't like Eurobeat, but then Initial D was so cool that I now love this style of music despite also being a Metalhead

[@eggdumpling6549]

Thank you so much for your video. I really appreciate how many aspects you mentioned about eurobeat.

Mammalian sighing reflex and turbo the eurobeat remix goat spotted

[@lingyouyan70]

Para para is basically the origin of TikTok rhythm dance (funny enough....)

[@Flutronko]

This video is amazing, you should definitely make more of these analysis if you still are producing videos.

[@critlv972]

this deserves much more views

[@swgmsh2hu]

Holy shit, less then 100 subs, I thought just from the content alone I was watching someone with more lol. I love your content, keep it up

[@fielynn7393]

I love eurobeat and this is probably the most summarized its history, I appreciate the effort! I just noticed please add somewhere epilepsy warning for some parts, not that it bothered me but some people might care.

[@gatinho6248]

I heard caramelldansen over 20 years ago and never realized it was in swedish

[@LightslashGamingRocks]

Neat video, good job!

1:26 Caramell is a group from Sweden with 2 males and 2 females. They have music videos of their songs. The rebrand is what you referenced and came 10 years later with the popularity of the "Speedycake" remix with the anime video. The record label (Remixed Records) went hard into that unofficial remix to collect money. Even rereleased Caramell's supergott album at 20% faster speeds. Now they are taking down Caramell and replacing it with Caramella Girls. Pretty disrespectful. It seems this video was mixing Eurodance and Eurobeat. Eurobeat came from Italodisco. Would have liked to hear about Sinclair style since he is active on KZbin talking about the creation of many classic songs.

[@laurentiu2000]

Awesome documentary! What is the song playing in the background?

[@mrbones2235]

After some struggle with Shazam... Grand Project Music - Night Eurobeat.

[@hi-fisch6170]

Good video, but please try to vary the track playing in the background, maybe based on chapters. Im curious where your channel may lead!

[@qarinah8586]

Good video but for the love of god change name of your channel
