Took a long ass time! This has been through so many iterations it's absurd. At first it was going to be a standard Social Justice The Musical. Then a broader fully animated music video. As much as I wanted a fully animated video to help push this "series" forward, the lyrics were far too time sensitive to let the song sit for the seven months it would have taken to get the cartoon finished. So, I took things into my own hands and tried to make as entertaining a music video as I could. Hope you enjoy it.

This "Musical" is about YouTube, it's algorithm, and the shitty people who take advantage of it. Whether it's a right leaning anonymous cartoon character with meme glasses pumping out videos about Brie Larson to make a quick buck, or left leaning clickbait merchants like Becca Lewis drawing unfounded connections between centrists and alt-righters with her Alternative Influence Report. Drama channels, Late Night Jimmies and everything in between.

Below are two versions of the song. The first being the final one that ended up being the template for the video and the second being one with an alternative final verse about article 13 to make the video a bit more timely. That one didn't fit with the overall message though so, I'll leave it here for you guys as a what if. There's also an isolated vocal track if you wanted to remix my trash voice with other beats or whatever. lol idk.

I'm sleepy.
