tiktok hates this song

Honestly, I think 99% of the hate happened because he started the tiktok by saying "did I just write the next emo punk anthem?" or whatever. The hive mind had already sharpened their knives before he sang the first note.

“…constructive and well intentioned criticism can be the most difficult to swallow bc you can’t just brush it off as hate” is such a good, well worded piece of advice

Pellet gun Kelly got me

Okay but "YOOO UNRELEASE THIS" originally was pretty funny

spoken like a true prince of the glory days

As a former emo teenager, now emo adult, this dude looks and sounds like he was frozen inside a hot topic since 2004 and someone accidentally thawed him out

I know obviously this is directed at a very specific person, but that "You can't change their mind by overexplaining why you do something" is some really good advice I feel like I need to take to heart that I've never heard from anyone before.

I think one of the big things is his declaration that it's going to be successful before playing that. That primes your alt crowd to immediately be suspicious. The song isn't actually bad, it's just not a hit.

This guy isn't even 2% as cringy as the shit we used to pass off as cool in the MySpace era

i'm sorry but "pellet gun kelly" sent me through the roof especially since I thought Danny was going to talk about MGK's emo girl song

"Wouldn't wanna introduce young people to pop punk" being said sarcastically is actually the peak of comedy, considering the reputation pop punk bands actually get when it comes to young people

I think this guy’s song isn’t bad but I wouldn’t say it’s good either. It could use some work but it definitely doesn’t deserve the amount of hate it has been receiving.

danny saying "its not easy defending you my guy." after seeing the joker poster in his room is the best part of the whole video

I feel that starting that tiktok with “is this the next emo anthem” was the biggest mistake. Any bold statements like that and the like of “if you like MCR you’ll love my band” are destined to not work with the emo crowd. The alternative scene was born out of not liking what everyone else likes, not being who everyone else is, by not fitting in so making it obvious that we don’t fit in. Tell us you made a song you think we might enjoy, that represents your view on the scene. That’ll get way more positive attention. Sure people can be pricks and you’ll never escape the negative comments but I believe there would be way less if it was done a different way

for anyone wondering where hes at now, hes actually gotten better

This is sad. He is so proud of his song and people are bullying him. It takes a long time and a lot of experience to learn how to present yourself online. He didn't do anything wrong, he just didn't present himself well.

The music mostly isn't that bad, it's the framing of "this is the next big thing" combined with the quirky overexagerated acting and aesthetic (like how there are 5 different sound effects when he starts explaining how lyrics work) that make this unlikeable. It gives off the vibe of trying waaaaaaaay too hard and the over the top acting/expressions feel like a kids TV show

i really appreciate how danny gives so much empathy to people he covers. the earnest advice is really refreshing to see rather than just plainly making fun of someone

"Shirt" and "shit" is a slant rhyme. An example of a perfect rhyme is "shirt" and "skirt". Thank you for coming to my TED talk (probably from 9th grade English)

I love the legitimate criticism and advice you give him. It's good advice for anyone who wants to start making content as well. You're always so respectful to people as well, even when they really do deserve the criticism. I look up to you so much as someone who wants to be a creator, and also just as someone who wants to be a good person. Thanks, Danny.
