Welcome to the Internet - Bo Burnham (from "Inside" -- ALBUM OUT NOW)

[@TheNewTravel]

It's so true how the internet has blurred everything together. You see something tragic and then there's a meme right below. We hardly have a chance to process emotions and so it all turns to be numb

[@munsticop9727]

Your so right I didn't even notice it before though

[@abbyryan7410]

It makes me think of Instagram stories. It goes from social justice to “look at what I ate for lunch!” really fast. Makes the seriousness of issues seem insincere.

[@doncreech]

Exactly. I'm not even entirely sure Bo knew what he had here, because this project clearly weighed on him organically throughout its production, but I'll be damned if there aren't so many subtle nuances in its craft that make it stand head and shoulders above any 'comedy special' in years, if not decades. In fact it's almost insulting to call it a comedy special. This is a feature length, one man virtuoso film that deserves every single award that's coming its way. I always thought Burnham was a smart and snappy performer, but this is visceral stuff that hits hard. I question if some will turn it off before the first 30 minutes or so are up not understanding where this thing is going, but all those people are missing the fuck out on what is right now the best film of the year.

[@NoBop2000]

9 times out of 10 the meme is about the tragedy

[@ellwee3709]

It’s funny how that argument is every ten years with the current mainstream consumer device. It was said about telly, radio, newspaper etc

[@madred1553]

There is an adult radio station in germany, called "Deutschlandfunk", which normally only has documentaries, news and politics. The only times they play music its normally whenever some Jazzmusician has died. And only at 1am. They played your song at least twice already, which actually means they accepted this song as part of a new culture, as something important that people need to hear. Congrats.

[@Talkingperfectly-loud]

“It was always the plan to put the world in your hand.” Followed by the creepy villain laugh and sauntering back into the chorus really drives home his point here: we never stopped to consider that maybe that was a bad idea.

[@LazerBagelPro]

I've watched this at least a hundred times and that part still gives me chills

[@lusyff2390]

I don't think that's the point he would make, just doesn't make any sense since that would literally be impossible to stop the next generations from eventually taking over. Maybe he means the state of the world in our hands, and the sinister laugh represents the lack of regret from any of the aging and dying generations? He is very cryptic and talented with his words

[@JSmusiqalthinka]

@@lusyff2390 Yeah it's not so much a criticism of the internet as a concept...but the cesspool corporation driven version that it's become.

[@chickenspy1854]

I actually interpreted it as a play on words. "The world is in your hands" takes on a different meaning when you realize that the entirety of the world's knowledge and content is literally in our hands in the form of a smart phone that is connected to the internet 24/7. This is what we'd call a Faustian Bargain, in which the meaning of the wish is intentionally misinterpreted for the worse (think a genie or a deal with the devil). It adds up in my mind because the song thematically has the vibe of the devil singing, in that he is offering temptations with a side of pure evil. I mean he literally lists out something great on the internet immediately followed by the polar opposite. As if he's saying, if you want the good you HAVE to take a bad. Also, this is like Hotel California and you can never leave. teehee

[@chickenspy1854]

I said it elsewhere, but I believe he is comparing the internet pre smart phone. The internet pre 99 was simple because you couldn't take it with you. We didn't have "everything all of the time" because we had to connect to the horrible sounds of dial up. But with the introduction of internet connected smart phones, it is literally impossible to get away from the internet. Even if you wanted to, chances are you'll get push notified of your desire to do so. And if you throw your phone into the ocean, people would be using live updated maps sent directly to their phones via satellite to find what they expect is your missing body because you were presumed dead the moment your friends and family realized you hadn't posted your opinion about a cancelled celebrity on Twitter.

I heard this song awhile ago. Can't believe it took me this long to post a comment. I love how this perfectly describes the mixture of emotions and vast range of content that is the Internet. Something so innocent can become so scary and vice versa, but really sticks out to me is the nonchalance of the singer. He just says something so bizzare and then moves on, like how society has become so desensitized to everything because of the Internet. As much as this is a commentary on the Internet, I also think that it is a commentary on society as a whole and how easy it is for us to get sucked in. Brilliant.

[@eleavate]

I fucking love the character that Bo is portraying here. It has the feeling of a villain song, one where this chaotic malevolent entity is trying to convince you to join him. There's this madness to this character. The mood swings, the sentimental sounding manipulation, an evil laugh to challenge anyone. Fucking great

[@masterpig5s]

[@stephenceja3229]

Character?

[@qwertyasdf4081]

To me, it feels like a villain who won. I think that was the vibe he was going for. The internet is full of things to keep us distracted and occupied, slowly chipping away at our attention spans and making us dependent. The truth is, we _are_ dependent now. A lot of people can’t function without the internet. So the internet, aka the villain, has won by making us dependent. If you really listen to some of the lyrics closely, like “Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime,” and “Mommy let you use her iPad, you were only two.” I feel like you can glean that message.

[@bassowl2802]

I used to say “I was half-raised by the internet,” in the context of this song it makes it uncomfortable realization that my personality was influenced by a mindless entity which’s sole purpose was to get me hooked in and guess what, it worked… I’m gonna go outside 😅

Only for the corporations to slowly get this strange new beast under its thumb. Something with great revolutionary potential that was folded back into the hands of the powerful. A new form of control, now the internet is an Orwellian nightmare, where ANY engagement is good engagement, and algorithms shape our brains and dictate what we see. On top of that we had no Idea what how this new tech would change peoples engagement with life. This massive shift in the way we communicate and live, without a philosophical frame work to navigate this new world. The laugh to me at least is the broken promise of the internet.

The song talks about getting hooked on the internet from a young age and Bo plays the dark side of the internet as a character here. Starting off just googling pictures of cats and talking to friends on facebook then as you grow you you're exposed to the more horrid parts of the internet. This final piece is like the dogs coming out to play.

He already does address a generation when the song slows down. The line about how it was before 9/11 and circa '99. The internet existed in its infancy so that's not "you," "you" are the ones that the world was waiting for to give everything into your hands. So seems like the song is basically for zoomers or anyone born/grew up with the developed internet. I think it also implies an identity connection between the internet and that generation. I sort-of fall into it sort-of dont, myself. Anyone who has seen the internet knows its pull, but its "for" the people who dont know anything else.
