WTF IS HAPPENING HERE?? (Dance Gavin Dance "Pop Off" reaction)

Finn simping for Tillian isn't what I expect to see in a Punk Rock MBA video

I appreciate Finn's level of thirst for Tilian

[@deadSalesman_GD]

[@6Craig6Christ6]

We asked Jon the meaning of "Honey Revenge" lyrics and he told us to "think of it from a cats perspective".

[@kingchuckfinley]

Beautifulz

[@andymantoise]

To be fair Finn, Jon has come out before and said his lyrics can mean LITERALLY NOTHING. he likes to play with rhythmic patterns and grammatical devices. My friend and I like to say Jon's lyrics are either the most insane thing on the planet OR the most deep philosophical shit ever lol

[@RCmetal11]

there is nothing quite as philosophical as "riding a rhino, pico de gayo"

[@IwonaKlich]

There is a couple of moments when you think - yep there is a meaning in thig gibberish... but then he just throw a bagel on your face...

"we all came here just to fap" hits harder than you might think

[@chaseallsup10]

I was on the side of "Jon's lyrics are nonsense" for the longest time..., but my wife sat me down about a month ago and got DEEP into the meaning of the lyrics (at least her interpretation). I can say now that I am now a believer in the great philosopher, Jon Mess. Philosopher King, if you will.

[@Charles921]

I appreciate you taking time to acknowledge Tim. I know they’re not your favorite sound, but always glad to see DGD on your radar

[@milkin1st]

100% based for Fuck Marry Kill. Tilian would raise our children with a gentleness and love my father never showed me. And it would make me love him even more.

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

Exactly

[@josh043p6]

And Johnny would be the dead beat baby daddy who doesn't pay his child support.

[@milkin1st]

@@josh043p6 Exactly. He's the sperm donor, and Tilian is the father Jonny could never be.

[@deathrays]

i appreciate every aspect of this video, thank you finn for the moment for tim, that was wonderful of you to do.

[@LswKid]

I find Tillian and Jonny's voices so inhuman and unobtainable that Kurt is my favorite vocalist. He just sounds like a regular guy singing his heart out. Maybe its nostalgia. But when im writing a certain kind of music its usually in Kurt's voice. I love his voice, and his solo stuff is so good id hate for him to go unnoticed. He's been my favorite vocalist since i was 12, and still is.

[@_ericc.]

Jon Mess lyrics are nonsense and it’s something we just accept

[@zachneiderhouser]

Love your take on tillian vs. johnny. I have to agree it just feels like tillian has vocal cords that were almost manufactured for DGD

[@GBreadCreations]

The tillian simping really got me lmao. Kurt totally got the "we love you nabil!" "What about me?" "FUCK YOU MATT!"

[@Kotsoros37]

Even though we dont always agree on stuff Finn you are one of my favorite KZbinrs, much love dude and appreciated how you answer some of my Instagram messages/suggestions haha . Loving the new DGD tried to listen to older stuff but didn't grab me as much as the stuff with Tillian as his pop sensibility really aids in the cohesiveness of the songs!

[@carlostorres1171]

Jon Mess is equal parts brilliant and deranged

[@philVSmonster]

You’ll lean full deranged when you hear his solo project.

I love tillian however kurt Travis is my personal favorite Era of dgd if I'm being honest

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

Kurt's voice worked best in A Lot Like Birds.

[@camisado92]

"Alex Terrible with his DLC variant mask" - highlight of the whole video 😂🤣 Saw DGD live in concert earlier this week and they were great!

[@RCmetal11]

Maybe a hot take, but i think Tillian is just an overall superior vocalist to Johnny Craig. Craig is great, but theres other people who kinda sound like him, Tillian is an entirely unique vocalist that does it well. Poor Kurt, dude was vocalist on some of their overall best songs (blue dream etc).

[@codybuckland1379]

Blue Dream had Jonny in it. Kurt was responsible for stuff like NASA, Carl Barker, and Uneasy Hearts

[@TheRealXenosapien]

I think Tilian is more technically skilled than either of the others, but that comes with the downside of sounding like a fucking keyboard a good amount of the time. On Mothership I thought he was perfect, because he added some grit to his voice in places, and that made the emotions come through a lot clearer for me. In the original mix of Acceptance Speech dude straight up sounds like a synth in some places, and while I loved that record, that aspect definitely bothered me more than any other complaints I had about it.

[@kingchuckfinley]

Not a hot take. Jonny Craig has a unique and nice voice, but I feel like Tilian works better even singing his parts. Also Jonny is a terrible person.

[@novavirus7497]

IMO kurt's best work is in his post DGD stuff with alot like birds and royal coda

[@shunsuikyoraku5428]

@@Apollowram Eidola and Anamoria, take a listen, there's plenty of other Jonny knock off vocalists too, they just can't do it quite like him

[@grixxy_666]

Lol Pop Off is the sequel to Synergy and Tillians arms, while majestic, are now overshadowed with Andrew Wells in the band.

[@kingchuckfinley]

I just saw them yesterday night…. God damn. So fucking good. Tilian was fucking ON. Andrew helped with a few higher parts, but Tilian was fucking crushing it. Still on a high. Saw knocked loose and movements last week too….. been one of the best weeks of my old life.

[@coreyw5981]

[@bushleague3472]

My biggest criticism of DGD's music is that it always feels very unresolved and "Wandery". Between the hyperactive lead guitar, and Tillian's R&B type vocal lines the melody's just wander around without going anywhere. I felt that on Artificial Selection this got addressed to some degree, with some stronger chorus melodies that offered a nice contrast. Unfortunatly it doesnt seem like they've decided to continue in that direction.

Who in the fuck could possibly describe Jonny Craigs vocal skills as better than Tillian? If you put them both in a room alone and had them sing any given chorus, Tillian would destroy Jonny any day of the week. There is no world where Jonny out performs Tillian period.

[@worduser899]

If you talked about the music about 20% more and the video 20% less, this would actually be good content. For now, the best thing I can say is that you look a lot like the dude from "Best Ever Food Review Show", to the point where your face kind of triggered Déjà Vu for me.

[@TheRealXenosapien]

Love DGD, but they're quickly becoming the Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed of post hardcore. I understand the mass appeal and financial stability of releasing banger after banger, but to me it's becoming stale after the last 2 albums. They got successful on the back of their silly and experimental nature, with bangers thrown in for good measure. It just doesn't feel as purposeful or focused as it used to be, and even with all of the musicians firing on all cylinders it feels super safe. Would gladly wait 4 years for something boundary pushing and detailed like ALLB's No Place, over waiting 18 months for 18 more bangers that sound the same as the last 18 bangers. That's just my opinion, I'm super glad to see them get the recognition they deserve.

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

I'll take afterburner 2, but your point stands. We'll see about the other songs. We can only hope for a bit of a shake up next time. Still glad they're not going full pop

With that being said, this is the 1st DGD song i've ever listened to, and holy shit, what is this??? 🤣🤣 Is this what's going on inside a gay metalheads head? 🤣 (don't mean that as an insult. Just trying to explain the "fruity" vibes).

Fruity vibes? You have about 15 years of storytelling to catch up on to even come close to understanding WTF is going on.... and you still won't have a clue haha. I'm not sure if musically DGD creates concept albums, but album art and video clips generally run on a theme album to album... for whatever reason, we have been given fruit this time (as opposed to robots, creatures etc...) It's all fun though.
