Oh, no. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Buying, selling, selling, buying, buying. Don't worry. This is going to fix the country. Thank you. Yep, great job. All right.

Hi, everyone. Anthony Fantano here, Internet's busiest music nerd. It's time for Let's Argue. Where I hop on the internet, I take your hot takes, your unpopular opinions, your tough questions. I respond to the ones that don't make me want to puke and then swallow my puke because I can't. I don't think I could puke on camera. Is that TOS? This is a zero puke video. Only hot takes and hot take responses in this video. No puke, no puke whatsoever.

"About 96% of the responses to this question will not be controversial or unpopular in the slightest." - @benhas85001

That's literally this comment. You just did the thing. That's you. You're doing the thing. You're accusing everyone else of doing. You're far from the first person to point this out. You are not being original or edgy or interesting or different than the other girls by doing this. Please stop making this comment because if there's anything more unoriginal than being unoriginal, it's sitting there and just being like, everything's so unoriginal now.When in fact, there are lots of original takes, point one out. Point out an original take. Come up with one. You could do it. I believe in you.

"Spotify not allowing albums to be played in order on the free version as a crime against artists and music in general." - themostepictrash3719

Yeah, I agree. I would say so, especially since they're getting paid for those streams anyway, and they're running ads on them. Why not be able to play them in order? You could play albums and songs in order on frigging YouTube, and YouTube pays artist's garbage. What is Spotify doing that makes it think it's so damn special? It could be like, oh, in the free version, you can't even play this shit in order. That's messed up. That's stupid. How about this? Incentivize paying for a subscription by telling music fans that artists are going to get paid more if they get a damn subscription.

"Careless Whisper was over-memed to mockery and is genuinely one of the best songs ever made. The lyrics are so profoundly grief-stricken. The core progressions consist of such melodies that when paired with the sourful vocals of George Michael, write nothing short of a tragic and regretful performance?" - @blooberry_pie

I don't disagree. And you know what? Honestly, as a Millennial, I will take ownership of this and will apologize on behalf of the Millennial community. I do think it is the Millennials' fault that that song was turned into the joke and internet meme that it was. This is something that we cannot lay at the feet of the GenXers, of the Zoomers, of the Alphas. That was us. That was our doing. We shouldn't have made it a joke. We shouldn't have thought it was funny. In fact, it wasn't really funny. It's a really great melody. Why are we just playing it in random places for a hee-he and a ha-ha. What are we doing? The song is great. Perform the song all you want, but just throwing it in places randomly. Just, Oh, wow, the only sax lead that I know by heart. Yeah, I didn't expect to hear that here. That's funny to not expect that, I guess. Yeah, I mean, that's Millennial humor for you. Play an instrument in a place where people don't think there's going to be an instrument. Funny. When honestly, live performance, just music everywhere, that should be normalized. Art everywhere and not as a joke. That's what I say.

"Purple is by far the best color. It's not too bright and saturated, but it's also very vibrant and pretty. Not to mention, it's also a combination of the two signature cool and warm colors, red and blue. It's literally the perfect color." -@sydneyflaherty8588

Yeah, I suppose it's the best of both worlds. Yeah, not enough people standing up for purple, in my opinion. I think a lot of people are just going for very hot and wild and silly and zany colors these days. That is when they're not embracing bland millennial grays and totes. I don't know what it is with my generation. Everything's got to be fucking an Earth tone and everything fucking gray. It's stupid and gross and disgusting and uninspired and soulless. It completely boggles my mind. We are the generation of kids that grew up with crazy McDonald's playplaces and ball pits and shit like that. Then decades later, you go into our houses or apartments and it's all just minimal two, three, Earth tone, IKEA, bullshit. Plus, on top of it, purple was the trademark color of one of the greatest pop artists of all time, and that is Prince. I feel like for Prince to gravitate toward purple, that's got to be a sign of it being a really great color.

"Country music that has never been on the radio is just better" - @comrade1158

I don't know what you're saying and by what metric that works, especially when you take into account the world of left field and college radio that's out there in the world. For the most part, when it comes to just strictly commercial radio, the vast majority of what you hear out there on the country airwaves, like a lot of airwaves around many popular genres, is just trash. It's the most lowest common denominator, easily digestible crap. The radio industry, unfortunately, as far as music is concerned, has really been like a hollowed-out, brought to its lowest and most soulless point, which is part of why the internet became such an interesting place to discover music, or at least for a time it was. I feel like we are slowly going back in that direction through the new gatekeepers being the streaming platforms and algorithms and so on and so forth. We're not quite there yet, but let's continue forward and see if we get there and we end up in a place where, just culturally, it's hell. It's pure hell.

"Frank Zappa had the best mustache in the business. That's why his music is so good. More artists need to follow his mustache precedent." - THEBOSS-qy9tv

And this had 448 likes and 12 comments?! Yeah, everybody turning up in the comment section like, Oh, you know what? This is the take the music community needs to hear. Yeah, this is the discourse that the music community needs to be engaging in right now. This is what's moving the needle for me. I mean, with that being said, Frank Zappa's trademark facial hair was not just simply a mustache. It was like a mustache, soul patch, goatey type combo. You really can't forget the bottom part of it, too. But with that being said, I do agree. Iconic mustache, much like my iconic Pizza Hut logo mustache that we typically get for six months. But that's gone now. It's gone and dead. My mustache is gone. This was supposed to be about Frank Zappa's mustache. I've always loved Serj Tankian's mustache, short to mid-length straight beard combo. It's always been good. It's always a trusty facial hair example. Also, the thin Prince mustache, I must say, has always been great. Always been loving the thin Prince mustache.

"Grocery store music be hitting sometimes." - thequestion4818

No, I agree, especially as of late. I mean, you got to be off-season. You can't be in the midst of Christmas or any crap like that. I feel like almost no matter where you are, the Christmas music is pretty disappointing I think the other week, I was in the grocery store and they were playing 1975. Which now that I think about it, I'm not quite sure if that's proof of My grocery store playlist getting cooler or maybe my taste getting Wacker and more yuppie. Maybe it's the latter.

"Frailty by Jane Remover is one of the most influential electronic albums to come out in the past five years. Few people actually realize how many artists owe a lot to that album." - @carcrashereal

I sort of see what you're saying in terms of it being ahead of the curve, not just in respect of it being an electronic music album. I feel like labeling it simply as that is underselling the record, honestly, and is just not really being descriptive enough about it because there are a lot of influences coming from pop and rock music as well on that record. I mean, it was definitely I really like of a time where you had a lot of very cool internet-based pop and rock projects that just felt very terminally online, cropping up, getting hot in the social media space. Underscores I would like to list as an example of an artist who came up in a similar way. With that being said, since then, Jane Remover, I think, has moved on to different sounds and ideas, especially on this latest LP, which I think is just a testament to what makes Jane Remover so interesting. And honestly, given the reception of Revenge Seekerz so far, I think there's even better potential for the music on this record to hit even harder culturally, commercially, and inspire an even greater amount of music fans and artists. Potential wonders for the alternative scene.

You guys are the best. Love you.

Anthony Fantano. Argue. Forever.
