The Hidden Cameras, "Gay Goth Scene"
CHOIRE: A new Hidden Cameras video!
BALK: I was just looking at that. I need to listen all the way through to see if pee-drinking is mentioned
CHOIRE: So far I give it two wtfs out of three.
CHOIRE: Okay, it’s Bronski Beat for the Arcade Fire generation, I can get down with that.
BALK: Ugh I no like when it switches at a minute and a half in.
CHOIRE: Well, at least they kind of made a song.
BALK: I guess I should give up on hoping for another “Music Is My Boyfriend.”
CHOIRE: sigh yeah
BALK: Also someone needs to tell people that this kind of semi-slo-mo camera work feels DELIBERATELY MANIPULATIVE. Like, manipulate me, I’m down, that’s part of what videos are for, but don’t point out that you’re doing it.
CHOIRE: Um, boo. This video doesn’t end with the stupid goth shooting everyone.
BALK: Jeremy does not speak in class?
CHOIRE: asdfasdf
CHOIRE: Feels so-so about Mondays.
BALK: Those pumped-up kicks actually aren’t that bad.
CHOIRE: Music really isn’t getting better
BALK: You say that because you’re old. If you were 17 you’d be like “Oh my god these stupid bloop-bloop-screech sounds are AMAZING.”
CHOIRE: Haha
CHOIRE: Probably ugh
