This just feels reductive in comparison to actual PCm, overkill on the cuteness. I hope 'bubblegum bass' doesn't become a thing as it will only be an Internet caricature just like 'seapunk' and other Internet fads before it.
This song is hard to take seriously as it is just rehashing elements PCm worked hard to solidify, almost as if they made a conscious decision to do so.

I like the instrumental but I definitely agree about this, especially with the music video. I don't mean any disrespect to the band, though. |

I don't feel like it's that "PCm" honestly, there have been a lot of musicians that make cute music for a while (a lot of them feature in the clip actually). I think we're automatically conflating anything cute and bubbly with PCm, and I know they do have a lot of influence on the scene right now but again this stuff has been done for a while PCm just gave it an all encompassing brand/name.
Also I feel like henrik had a lot of sway in the production of this track, like listen to their first release in comparison.
Also PCm is pretty much already an internet caricature... like that's the whole brand is how distant and url it is ya know?

I like the song and the only reason I don't like the video that much is because the iPhone concept IMO is overdone, but I'm not trying to offend, anger, or disrespect anyone, so I'm sorry that I came off that way. |

yeah I thought the video would be some cute animation or something more related to the song, it was a bit lacklustre for me but I was happy to see all my favs cameos.

@ venus.... How can you suggest that this isn't a direct response to PCM? Henrik uses a lot of tropes found in a.g. Cook tracks (see 'friends forever and compare to 'life sim - warlord remix) and Simon whybray ( of JACK ) just profiteers off PCM as a brand. It may be hard to hear... But henrik and JACK are just fisher price versions or fake counterfeits of PCM. And in relation to you suggesting PCM is already a caricature I don't really see your argument about URLs?  I'm sure PCM are smart enough to not become solely a passing Internet trend, and it's sad that you have that opinion. |

PC Music uses the Internet as a medium to express their art; I don't think the intention was to call it a "passing trend". |

He has friends all over that scene, including GFOTY, Sarah from KKB, etc etc etc etc etc. The type of music he plays is nu-pop but most isn't really at all like PC Music.. I don't quite see how he is profiteering off of anything considering he has only had merch since like... may? And you need to pre order it if you even want a chance at getting it. People can make and create happy/experimental pop music, it isn't like AG filed a copyright against experimental pop and now everyone else is a fisher price version of it. Dude's a dj mostly who does grime mashups too and had a band a while ago that was quite unlike PC music. Now he is a Graphic Designer and someone who curates cool music. Stop being mean. AG reuses tropes too and if you don't want to admit that then you just aren't listening. Feel free to continue on your AG IS GOD OF ALL NUPOP but you don't need to insult others making similar music. |
