Thoughts on Cool Kids over a decade later?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

 

#13 in the USA (#59 YEC and certified 3x platinum), #25 in Canada, #6 in Australia, #8 in Ireland, 152M YouTube views, and 581M streams on Spotify with roughly 141k daily streams - but do you remember it and if you do, what do you think of this song? I recall a lot of people finding it very annoying when it came out but I think it aged pretty well and is a fun slice of early-2010s indie pop that I like going back to occasionally.

A bop :WAP: I discovered this song quite late but I still return to it every now and then and still bop hard to it each time like it's the first time I'm listening to it :heart:

I still haven't checked out their self-titled album from last year despite being a fan, I need to get on it :rip:

I remember when my cousin showed it to me like 10 years ago. He said it would be a song he thought I would like. I said hell no and never played it again until it went viral on TikTok and I couldn't get it outta my head. I can't help but think of my cousin when I listen to it. I don't speak to him anymore. It's a nice song tho

Hated it then and still hate it now :smile:

 

It/they gave me Christian camp counsellor vibes…or youth group leaders…whatever they're called.

This story is sending me dd. IIRC the first time I heard it my mom was driving me to physical therapy and she was like "Do you feel like a cool kid?" Keep in mind this was when I was getting bullied for being effeminate and socially awkward :rip:

They give me that vibe too, giving me very much Jehova's Witnesses type of physiognomy. Wikipedia says that a Christian rock band influenced them to start making music so you're not too far off :rip:

I loved the late '80s alternative sound this had. Had a sweet,  melancholy feel to it.

Loser ass song. I remember the unfortunate chokehold it had on radio stations.

Still terrible.

It was super overplayed. It's not super terrible but it's not their best.

It's a generic bop that was already dated upon release. Still a bop though.

 

edit: I'm scared of downvotes so I will say this: There is much worse than this *nervous giggling*

I always hated this damn pick me ass song along with Hey Soul Sister and Pumped Up Kicks.

I completely forgot this song existed. Never liked it back then

Posted

The sound is great but the lyrics try a little too hard to be edgy outcast
