Pop Music of the Future Lyrics
What a great song, great band. I'm guessing this is basically a tribute song to some girl, and if I may say, she sounds pretty cool. Reminds me of myself actually...especially the "she's a shaker, but not a mover" line. Say Hi To Your Mom rocks. That's it.
GREAT song.
I like the song, but the girl he's talking about sounds pretty lame to me. Someone who just conforms to whatever lifestyle is popular?
Cakeandmilk... I think she is not going with the flow... my reasoning is because of the line "Then there was emo, but that was just a phase, it all went downhill since sunny day real estate's first record..." Sunny day real estate really defined the emo sound and thus meaning "Pop music of the future"... So it sounds to me that she is listening to all these indie bands and she discards them when they make it big, becomming "pop status"
hah lovin the sdre reference.
This reminds me of a girl I know who's so cool but she tries just a little too hard sometimes. And it just makes me so mad because being herself she's just as awesome and deep inside I think she knows it.
very beautiful. say hi to your mom is amazing.
Does anyone know what 909 beats is/are?
ear24, She doesn't necessarily discard indie bands when they make it big for the reason that they've attained "pop" status. I don't think that can be inferred from the song. In fact, with the hair bands and corduroy reference and like, she is in tune with fads. The point is that she has defined her times. She, in a way, is pop--but in a platonic rather than aristotelian way.
I would also like to add that "'cause it's all been downhill since sunny day real estate's first record" is possibly the truest statement ever made.
I think 909 beats refers to the TR-909 drum machine.
Hahaha. I love this song. For exactly what lacpunker said. 'cause it's all been downhill since sunny day real estate's first album.' hahaha. : D
