      Oh nah, I know the one you’re talking about. Actually like that song. I wouldn’t call that a ‘new version’ really. It’s heavily borrowing from the song, taking the melody, but that’s not uncommon in music. If they started using any of the lyrics then I would have had a problem but it being sort of an alternate take on the lyrics, plus the general electronic stuff being injected in, makes it feel like a very different song for me so I don’t really judge it based off of the original.

      That being said I totally get it not being for everyone.

          I keep things to their thread/situation. There are a few users on this site who I absolutely fucking hate and considering how frequent of a poster I am, those users tend to pop up repeatedly. I don’t want this place to become reddit where people just start dragging drama from one situation to another so I try not to do that myself.

            Oh god, don’t start with this bullshit. That whole power user nonsense was so damn annoying on reddit. This is an anonymous internet forum. Please don’t use phrases that make it sound like you’re famous.

              That was not my intended meaning of it. I meant that I simply post an enormous amount and those people pop up in the comments. I’m not trying to big up my ego, especially when I absolutely hate myself.

              That being said, if you want to tone back the reddit energy then I might recommend starting with yourself. If you have an issue with something I say, fine. Talk to me about it. I have no issue having a discussion provided it comes from a place of decency and kindness. This “Oh god, what bullshit” energy is why I left reddit. I don’t need to deal with here too. You’re a person and i’m a person. How about we both treat each other like one and talk about stuff instead of this angry energy.

              Edited the comment for clarity and to remove the ‘offending’ phrase.

                That’s fair. I probably was more combative than necessary so apologies for that. Still, I think the overall point is valid even if it was expressed poorly. The concept of celebrity in general is pretty obnoxious but applying it to an anonymous person, especially one primarily posting memes, is quite nonsensical. You may not have intended to play into that but many people do.

                  I appreciate it.

                  I’ve got no interest in trying to pretend that i’m celebrity on here. I post an enormous amount and because of that my name is recognized by a huge amount of people on here. That’s as far as I go. I’m not “famous” or a “celebrity” for posting here (I’ve been called both on numerous occasions from casual users to admins and the phrase doesn’t sit right with me either. I just post a lot. There’s nothing ‘famous’ about it and I’m not deserving of the “Oh wow Stamets is posting here!” which mods of multiple communities have done as well. I’m just trying to help Lemmy out and add more content and get more stuff going.

              On my main Startrek.Website Stamets account they’re all blocked but this is my ‘mod’ account so i’ve got them all unblocked to be able to act on any reports or whatever. I’m just tired of all the constant negativity from certain people. Everytime I see them, everytime, they’re just complaining. Saying something sucks or how something is stupid or the post doesn’t make sense or how someone is an idiot. I just don’t wanna engage with that behavior anymore. I left reddit for a reason. I don’t need the prick following me around on all my posts (which, due to my constant posting, they often do) and being themselves.

        Yah i hear ya. What turns me of mostly is the lyrics. Like i said they sound like the most boring party music ever “im good and im feeling alright baby ima have the best fucking night of my life” thats pretty much the whole song and are probably in the top 10 most used lyrics in american songs.

          True but you’ve also got to think of the genre of the music and the place in music. It’s made by a French dude to start with, David Guetta, and the type of music he makes is focused more on the vibes/beat than it is on the lyrics. The vocals are only ever really added to help further those vibes which is why I give a pass to this song. They’re not trying to create good lyrics, they’re trying to create good vibes. I can appreciate that.

            The thing is that it doesnt even do that for me at least because he uses tge eifel blue song as most of the beat which is so recognisable that its impossible to not be reminded of it and it reminds me of it so much that i would rather just listen to that original version because i liked it very much.
