I know many here hate on rap music, but I heard about this youth sub-culture called "sad bois" whose aesthetic includes Arizona Iced Tea and bucket hats, and apparently they listen to this dude 'Yung Lean'. So, I look this dude up on YouTube, and I'm left thinking 'What the fuck?'

I listened to gangsta rap in the '90s. Say whatever you like about rap, but it had a protagonist, a plot, and concepts. This new "rap" has none of these things.

Consider:



Music starts ~ 1:00



Contains a sample from "I Wanna Do Something Freaky to You" (1970s) by Leon Haywood



Now, what the f-ck is this?



The comments section is wild. We've got people saying this dude is a "pioneer" and other people are talking about "Nostalgia" ??? Seriously? These people are like 12 years old, what do they have nostalgia for? Getting their diapers changed? Dafuq!?
