The Chainsmokers

Edward James: No song has better plumbed the depths of modern American ennui

• fionmul +1 — I’m going to a concert in Boulder next weekend with an ex roommate of mine who has my old mattress so I’ve been in the chainsmokers mood. Also she’s so relatable. “Oh no ugh I feel like I’m gonna throw up. Oh wait never mind I’m fine. Let’s go dance.” This is me emotionally all the time. Also the line “I guess I took a good selfie” iconic. #Spaghettibraincore
• SamRobertsND +1 — The only one on here that I thought I would hate initially but grew to really love over the course of the song. Perfectly captures the vapid, impulsive mindset of the modern secular girl, I imagine this is what plays in their head on loop.
• Claire +1 — It’s kind of insane how hard this goes
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Oh dear goodness
• Brad Stalcup 0 — I heard you out... but all I heard was unoriginal EDM background behind an unbearable voice track. The only way I could unironically tolerate this song is if I were intoxicated out of my mind. But I have to admit, it did make me laugh. Sam
