Those Hobo Johnson videos are from 2016.

if you love twenty one pilots, you'll also love these five rejected pilots we found in a backyard xp

i went to a sold-out arena show of theirs up here. the audience was fanatic about them. (i was pretty impressed by the technique of the guy who beatboxed while playing cello, but otherwise...)

Pentatonix is cringeworthy but it's hard to get too riled up about them when their stuff isn't on the radio. Per all-knowing Wikipedia they have had four charting singles. Three of them were Christmas songs and the fourth hit #99 on the Hot 100.
― skip, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 02:53 (six years ago) link
That said, their last three albums went #2, #1, #1 (though again, two of them were Christmas albums)

1, they are on tv a lot 2, they opened for kelly clarkson 3, acapella is a huge thing among The Youth Of Today4, thanks to their christmas releases they are a holiday-radio fixture (which negates your original point)
― maura, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 16:46 (six years ago) link
And one of their holiday-radio fixture tracks is a cover of Hallelujah.

every time this 'Mean To Be' song by Bebe Rexha (apparently) comes on the radio it makes me feel physically nauseous. The lameness of the repeating lines 'ride with me, ride with me' like the most watered-down version of pop-country, I feel like I'm on a horrible merry-go-round that I can't get off. There's plenty of tosh out there but not since Meghan Trainor has there been a song that actually make me want to barf.

Apparently a 2017 song, though I've only heard this horrifying thing in the past few weeks. Three times now and gets progressively worse each time.

The actual YouTube comments on this thing are pretty funny, btw: lots of back and forth about whether the song was made for people who were kids in 2002 vs people who were *born in* 2002.
― incel elgort (cryptosicko), Thursday, 3 May 2018 01:38 (five years ago) link
Well, that song is woeful. Are there any other songs mining the 00s for "nostalgia feels" yet or will this be the beginning of a new trend in pop?
― triggercut, Thursday, 3 May 2018 08:55 (five years ago) link
Also, I feel like Alan Partridge saying this, but the "now we're under the covers" lyric caught me off guard. You think she's still singing about being 11 at that point. I know you only have to wait a couple of beats to find out they're now 18, but for a couple of moments there I've got an image of 2 naked 11 year olds in bed together. Poor songwriting!

No one with any sense of shame has any business making pop music.
