Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

from the link, we obtain HODL gang and versace bedouin (which might be the worst song I've ever heard period).

I would also like to add predatory capitalist feminism anthem WAGMI.

on an ideological level I would nominate the technofascist propaganda piece we appreciate power. banger tho

'We are all gonna make it' while wearing an NFT shirt, such a timecapsule of a dumb age. Wait, that was last year?

Technofascist propaganda? Can I offer you a noosphere?

(because I probably have before)

I’m waiting for night to fall so I can hook my headphones up to the good amp and torture my brain with these directly

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

we have an acausal robot god for that sort of thing, you don't need to do it to yourself

[–] self@awful.systems 9 points 10 months ago

this is practice!

I look forward to the fruits of this thread and I am already sure that every single song deserves recognition for having more effort put into it than typing a prompt into a shitty generative ai text field

NB, I know you specified “worst” but I can’t help but think the personae of some JoCo songs are tech bros:

The list goes on.

Yeah Coulton is pretty good at articulating some of the darker parts of geekdom. You just know the protagonist of "Code Monkey" is just a step from installing a RAT on his crush's computer.

@sc_griffith Oh yeah these too https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2018/457-the-art-and-science-of-the-motivational-corporate-anthem

without any apology, have this remarkable entrant: the vmware tanzu song

I've kept it around in the archives, even (especially?) though they tried to disappear it.

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

the original. I see it's back to Unlisted now, for a while it was unloadable

[–] fasterandworse@awful.systems 5 points 10 months ago

that's daft punk

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The only tech song I ever knew about was Weird Al’s “All About the Pentiums”. I didn’t realize there were other actual songs

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 5 points 10 months ago

that's a banger

[–] swlabr@awful.systems 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Does https://youtu.be/yIL9wLxG01M and its various remixes count?
