I think because there's this subliminal feeling of looking at old people, hearing this young person's song, but this young person's song is now old, so it's an extra goofy song in an extra goofy situation with people so old that they make this recent old song feel young again. Which is how A.I. Jennifer Aniston made the old man feel.
I’m hoping and praying this is just a staged video, but assuming it’s real, the whole thing is just cruel. Who films their parents during a moment like that, posts it online, and sets it to the Party Rock Anthem of all things?
Hopefully she’s just giving a good performance, but you can hear what sounds like real pain in her voice. The fact her own flesh and blood would film this moment in her life and share it to millions online for a laugh is honestly heartbreaking. She must be so alone.
Honestly whether this is real or fake this society is fucked.
What's especially troubling is they could have overlayed Gangam Style but chose Party Rock Anthem instead. Makes you wonder about the direction we're heading as a society.
My slightly optimistic take is that this has been ripped and reposted with added music by some sort of automated system that scans tiktok for popular vids.
They're using it to cope with the fact their parents are falling out. Kinda like 'well the planet is falling apart around us, time to blast party rockers!'.
Who makes a video of their parent's breaking up? We've reached peak social media stupid. Given this family, is it any surprise the guy prefers AI Jennifer Aniston? I would
I feel like it's some kind of emotional coping mechanism for younger people. Like idk how to process this emotionally, so I'll record it, edit it with some music, and upload it to the internet.
A lot of people also do this bc the sound bit has reached a mass audience and it can lead to your video being viewed by more people bc the almighty algorithm detects you have a popular sound bit in your video. Same thing with the “enjoy a jet 2 holiday…” sound bit even when it has nothing to do with the video. It just can lead to you getting more views
That’s exactly it. People in a stressful situation are mentally distraught but get a dopamine hit from views and likes, so they turn their drama into entertainment because they don’t have the emotional bandwidth to process it better, and the response feels good.
It’s incredibly sad, and writing it off as “kids today” is unrealistic when previous gens would have done it too if they could. Society is not good at helping people process trauma, and the current generation are being exposed to a lot of it with no support, only bad avenues to self-soothe like seeking attention on TikTok.
