[@julesishere7836]

I'm so happy he's getting the recognition he deserves, not only a great actor but also a really great and talented musician

[@BOT_JERRY]

Not really. He's mid. Stop simping

[@itzzelit3177]

​@@BOT_JERRY mid to you lmao. Other people like his music. Calm down.

[@BOT_JERRY]

@@itzzelit3177 just checked his music page. 227k subscriptions with less than 100k people viewing his videos . Yea. Mid to me. And everyone else. How about you calm down until he gets popular.

[@itzzelit3177]

@@BOT_JERRY clearly the people that listen to his music consistently enjoy it lmao. It's really not that hard to understand but, I wouldn't expect you to considering you broke out the sped class.

Omg fr I love Steve so much

[@heyitsgabriel6965]

Wait ? That’s not him ?

[@MrHalvarsson]

@@heyitsgabriel6965 it 100% is, u can do music and be an actor u know, lol.

[@SockiThePoser]

Bro Steve is my favorite character in the show besides Eddie, I literally had no idea it was him

[@AllysonBunyar]

It's honestly about damn time. Been listening to his music since 2019 and waiting for him to blow up as a musician.

[@leif1075]

Why does blowing up matter at all?

[@T.S_130]

​@@leif1075 I think it's because if they get more recognition, they get the fame and money they deserved. It depends on the artist tho, if they wanna do music for the sake of it or some other reason. But I get where you're coming from.

[@chosoistryinghisbest]

@@leif1075if an artist blows up, they get recognition. and soon immortalized in the public consciousness. were you just born today or something? naturally if you like something you want others to know about it as well and enjoy how good art feels together

[@thecamillarose9806]

Awesome

[@leif1075]

@T.S_130 whonsays anyone "deserves" or even want fame or.money..and a lot of really artists and the smartest ones aren't chasing fame especially..and only enough money to make ends meet.

[@atharvashintre]

I was today years old when I realised DJO is Joe Keery!!!!!

[@stephaniecrooks771]

My son just told me today 😂

[@eldritchbeing2879]

Same

[@Psykosoma]

I learned yesterday, so I'm in the 1 day old Djo=Joe Keery phase of my life...

[@zoeedolly]

my mom just told me today

[@ghost-carnage8964]

Bruh my mind is blown joe Keery is DJO that's awesome like I didn't know this lol

[@Paddy-dw8bj]

Same😂

[@gokuamvs4660]

Same lol.. I'm having an existential crisis now, like how did I not know this ..

[@ayevision2921]

Shut the front door!!! I had no idea he sang too!❤

[@chosoistryinghisbest]

its a really, really good song. its like the ultimate song for nostalgia. my life has changed so many times and I have continued to change so many times. but every so often, when i go to certain location or do something very specific, i get the memories of who i one was when I was last there.

[@Prior2Popular]

THE WAY I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS JOE KEERY

[@EvilStranGer0]

Oii that's Steve Harrington

[@thglive3946]

bro djo,joe kerry and steve is a same person

[@kenshiro1990]

​@@thglive3946never seen them in the same room😏😏

[@Polar_Bear_2007]

I have heard of stranger things and him playing the role of Steve there but I never actually watched the series but listening to his music truly makes me believe that he's a talented individual.

[@CakeInMyPockets]

he's a great actor in ST so he is pretty talented, Steve is definitely one of my fav characters

[@cawesomewhatever]

He is in so many other things too. He is in the newest season of Fargo, then has a few movies from a few years ago and I believe a newer movie that I don’t know if it’s out yet or still waiting to come out.

[@RodneyKamusiime2004]

Dude watch the series. Trust me. Specially now since you can binge all 4 seasons nonstop.

[@n_-_-]

End of beginning is so melancholic, I cannot listen to it. It hurts! So good job on Joe Kerry! I hope he gets more success, he seems like a good dude.

[@WeggieQueen2005]

as a chicagoan now living in FL, this song hits so hard. I miss my home so fing much. I'm not me without my home and my Chicago people.

[@teriwelshanscp3528]

Me too, but relocated to AZ. Growing up in Chicago is just an experience that's hard to describe.

[@user-hg2kd1nz4l]

Ok go back!

[@Iwasborninthe80SS]

Come back home !

[@terraofearth]

it was fun watching his music blow up in the first couple weeks

[@lovablemonty]

whyd it go viral? album came out almost 2 years ago?

[@fourtwohundred]

@@lovablemontysomeone probably posted a TikTok with the sound and the algorithm boosted it, people liked the song and kept posting it everywhere. Usually how it works.

[@lovablemonty]

@@fourtwohundred ah yeah that makes sense, hell Mac Demarco had a resurgence the same way

[@fourtwohundred]

@@lovablemonty yep and all his music is great it’s a crazy phenomenon

[@shay2218]

DJO is amazing- all his songs are beautiful and some are just crazy fun -> see Château or Gloom for reference. 💜😋

[@PastaDrums3886]

He looks like the actor in the movie "Free Guy" with Ryan Reynolds.

[@theoshouldstoptalkingnow]

he is

[@logancarreiro3003]

That would be because he is exactly that guy

[@PastaDrums3886]

Cool. 👍👍

Cool. 👍👍

[@Plutonium.2]

@@PastaDrums3886yeah it’s him. Also from stranger things. Honestly it feels weird they did t mention that tbh

[@a_sincere_mirrorball]

Bro completely ignored the fact that he has been in stranger things from session 1 to 4💀💀💀💀💀 Edit : and he will be in session 5🎉🎉🎉 Edit : Guys you are literally blowing up my notifications slow down bruh 💀💀💀

[@mondy8100]

Coz that's not important to his music career

[@skull_lee]

​@@mondy8100it would still matter,like not mentioning markiplier was a murderer(if he was) when starting his youtube channel

[@Nyxx0010]

​@@skull_lee such a random analogy

[@ms.snowflake9619]

Ikr, actually I'm suprised😮

[@clararose1795]

“Left in 2019 to pursue other opportunities,” oh like becoming a star of one of the most popular TV shows in the world? Just a casual opportunity that I’m sure many small time musicians happen into.

[@Jay-jj3gk]

these should be released officially as a mixtape

[@jaye4729]

I’ve been listening to his music for so long now! I’m so glad he’s becoming more popular! His music is great!

[@Iloveyoutube_12345]

I know lol I'm just used to Steve 😂

[@TreggBullion]

I remember listening to chateau in 8th grade and I’m surprised that isn’t the song that got them “famous”

[@lovablemonty]

for real, the songs good, but there are way better songs off his first album

[@caffeinati]

and roddy thats been one of my favouirte songs for years

[@mcyt_s1mp43]

ive LOVED his music for while now

[@P99-v6y]

Bro I didn’t know this dude was the creator of this song. That’s crazy lol. Good for him! He is a great actor on top of that too wow!

[@Grimreeeper]

no wonder why I like this song so much

[@chenniemay5532]

So that's why every time I listen to the song It reminds me of STRANGER THINGS so much.

That backsound, right? That makes me feel stranger things vibe

The fact daddy Steve made this even more mind blowing ❤😭

Free guy, Stranger things..

[@wreathe0110]

THAT’S FKING JOE KEERY?!! I love the song it’s literally played everywhere in my city.. It’s so good!

[@shamandalies8736]

I think he can give much more as a musician in some way, even if I'll always follow him as an actor. It just feels like he was born to create music, it hits you differently.

[@tiatunz9534]

Useful recap - had no idea. Ty 🙏

[@A5TR0Edits]

BRO I LOVE JOE AND I JUST REALIZED DJO IS JOE KEERY

[@sammarrese-wheeler3308]

I love that this talks about Joe Keery like he’s not a movie star and just some guy who’s song blew up

[@bruhdon4748]

Being talented at music just seems right for him, you look at him and you’re like yeah he’s in a band

[@DaniielPineda]

I think you missed an important part of the story lol

[@leilahthecat]

what is it?

[@leahmuniz530]

This just blew my mind

[@tatsamraipure2712]

Yes, I’ve been a fan of there’s for years. And I am really into psychedelic rock and I was just browsing when I found Djo. Joe is so talented. I’m good with faces so when I saw him in Stranger things he became my favorite character from day one 😊

[@Fhoulghoul]

I love saying "pursuing other opportunities" and not mentioning he was on one of the biggest shows of the century

[@TheGamersArena]

We bewting demogorgan with this one 🗣️ 🔥🔥

[@thevioletdecoder]

I am from Chicago, long before this song, I've contemplated returning and it is as if imaging an extension of an alternative life I deviated from.

[@JacobeKun]

I like how he wants us to discover him as a cast in stranger things ourselves instead of him letting us know hes in the series

[@palmer491]

I love how this video fails to mention that he’s a main character in one of the most iconic TV shows of all time😂

[@Bigglohgt]

That’s mother fuhkin Steve 😭😭
