throwback to an era of early youtube where e-celebs and 'viral' videos were marginally less obnoxious than they are now.
Oh man, that made feel things. watching the video really brought memories. Evolution of dance was the shit when i was younger.
Reminder that people will see the meme video with all the ragefaces and Nyan cat and stuff the same way in about 10 years.

10+ years ago meme's felt a lot less annoying because they had a lot less real world exposure and regurgitation.
Meme's don't really have a whole lot behind them aside from being a popular things that people found funny for a brief amount of time.
The internet was more fun back then when jokes and memes couldn't be milked for BILLIONS of views and in turn money.
Back in those days everyone was kinda expressing what they liked or thought or even to show off their talent on Youtube. Now its all for EPIC LULZ, money, reactions and controversy.
I was thinking about this song and video before falling asleep, and how it is the perfect representation of YouTube in the late 2000's.
It's great that they even got a lot of (then-famous) YouTubers to participate in the video.
And then there was this version uploaded at the same time.

this is a trip down memory lane
pork and beans was my jam in 7th grade
This played a lot on the radio when I was playing WoW back in middle school.
Good times.
I miss old YouTube. I remember back in 2005/2006, I would spend my whole day watching shitty GMod videos because my computer was too shitty to run it.

Montage video parodies are a shining example how a joke gets ruined and immediately turns to shit as soon as people figure out how to make money off of it
What the fuck. I haven't watched this video in like 5 years, and I still remember the lyrics perfectly :v:
I always thought it was cool that they got all these youtubers to do parts for the music video
Back in the days before 'youtube rewind' and all the "a shout out to money" crap. When you didn't need a professional studio to get views.

Evolution of dance is 10 years old now. Where did the time go?
I think there is some truth to the idea that it was a lot harder- if not impossible at all to be able to "make a living" off Youtube. Content creators uploaded stuff on the sole basis of having a passion to share.
Now shit is cluttered with things trying to make those big dollars.

Yeah, if anyone tried that with today's Youtube "celebrities" it would just be super cringey and bad

I remember way back then. The then popular internet celebrities (I won't say Youtube, because many weren't Youtubers yet) were all genuinely distinct and different from each other. There was no "formula" that you had to follow. You just had to do your own thing and be genuinely different and/or funny.

They did an amazing job of recreating this...attention to detail is amazing!

That's what made the video so good, all these people who got popular for different things came together to be in something other than their original video. And it must've been [I]damn[/I] hard to get a hold of these people, considering how primitive youtube's messaging system was

This song and music video also totally sums up what the internet was like in the late 2000's. It was a bunch of uncool twenty-somethings making shit for fun, and this video has little nods to all of it, big and small, with stuff like "download the free mp3"
This was before money took over the internet

I'd watch this in middle school and it'd fill me up with emotions about how I wasn't popular but i liked all this cool shit online and it made me feel badass. It's about embracing your uncoolness, especially when they have people on there who got famous for messing up, like Afro Ninja and the miss america girl, and also sort of the Numa guy and Chris Crocker
