it's daft

When I see this picture I just hear “im blue daba Dee daba da”

There was so much ingenuity, skill, and creativity that ~~goes~~ went into making something completely new and original sounding from various samples of songs all done manually on analog hardware. The one that always blows my mind the most is Face to Face. 20 different samples, all morphed into an entirely different song. I cannot even comprehend how someone would go about thinking this up and creating it with today's technology, let alone in the 90s. And of course there's the infamous story of Daft Punk pulling the aux cable halfway out of their instruments and playing with the feedback as part of the music. There are certain musicians who'd be ahead of their time in any time.

At least, back in those days, people still knew the answer to one of life's most important questions: "What is love?"

And people nowadays don't?
- Either you didn't get the reference or you think Haddaway is still relevant today.
baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no mo.

all women in 1997 were named Courtney, or Courtnay or Courtneee.

It's time for the percolator It's time for the percolator It's time for the percolator It's time for the percolator It's time for the percolator It's time for the percolator

Still better lyrics than all the AI Slop songs generated today.

That song defined an entire generation. It wasn’t just the lyrics, it was the music, how it was made, how it sounded differently from before, where it played, by whom, in which movies and all.

Also, great video to go with it
Why do you people bring up AI at every possible chance you get? Is it a popularity contest? "Look who hates AI the most! It's me!"
Like, this post has nothing to do with the subject but you came in just to make your argument about how the song isn't bad, but you started with some random anti AI shit. Why do you let it live so presently in your mind?
AI assisted music generation still sucks, for sure, and I don't think there's a big future in fully generated music that isn't fueled by an insane amount of stealing musician's work. Just look at the lawsuits against Suno and Udio. Maybe it can be a way to generate simple loops as an alternate to sample tracks or something.
- You people?
- I looked through @MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca ’s post history and AI is only mentioned a couple other times, always in context of tech/AI topics. So the real question is why are YOU attacking him, generalizing “you people”, and in general just flying off all half cocked like some kinda weird white knight with a hard on for AI?

144 times.

I knew there was something gross about it.
- Why is a dozen dozen so gro.... oh god damn it.
Thank you. Good bit of trivia which I'm not going to bother to confirm.
- 80 times in the radio edit. I just counted.

I unironically miss those days so so much.

I was 21 years old, and actual night clubs were still a thing.

In University, still living with my parents, so fuck all else to spend my money on from my part time job in the Sears men's wear department.

You couldn't have told me back then how much adulthood sucks in comparison.

I was 21 years old, and actual night clubs were still a thing.
airing out the smoke smell from your clothes before the next weekend.
Are night clubs gone now? If so, fuck. That's saddening.
- I don't know if it's everywhere. But from what I can tell, these new generation of kids just don't go out clubbing anymore.
  Lounges, Bars, etc.... are still around. But in the city where I grew up, for example, the good old fashioned loud music, strobe light, dance floor, shooter-girl "night clubs" have all shut down.
- Not gone, but less frequented.

You think that's dumb? How about this one:

And here are the lyrics:

Motherfuckers gonna drop the pressure
