Okay, one more — Grimes’s “We Appreciate Power” is an electro-pop song about artificial intelligence, simulation, and brain uploading among other things:
A lot of the kids that like it no doubt enjoy it for the rebellious countersignaling aspect of it, combined with catchy beat.
But I like it on, I think, a different level than a 15 year old that’d like it. When I was 15, I listened to Rage Against the Machine — I had no idea what the heck RATM was talking about with Ireland and burning crosses or whatever, it was just, like, loud and rebellious and cool.
It’s not groundbreaking to say people can appreciate things on different levels, but I wonder how much my intellectual enjoyment of We Appreciate Power backpropagates into liking the beat, vocal range, tempo, etc more.
[Bridge: Grimes & HANA]
And if you long to never die Baby, plug in, upload your mind Come on, you’re not even alive If you’re not backed up on a drive And if you long to never die Baby, plug in, upload your mind Come on, you’re not even alive If you’re not backed up, backed up on a drive
