I have to hand it to BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR: they were one of the few bands of their kind to remain somewhat relevant after MySpace met its demise in The Sidekick War of 2009. Still, their efforts were admirable but futile, and from what I can tell nobody gives a fuck about BOTDF anymore, not even the most diehard crunkcore laggards who scrounge through the few remaining neon leggings and Nickosaur shirts in the Hot Topic clearance box like zombies picking the flesh off a long-dead corps.
Apparently there are still jailbait who dress like Pokemon villians in Australia, though, and they love BOTDF. Here is a super cringeworthy video they made for a school assignment in which they talk about their favorite band. Notes:
- :15-:30 where they just say “ALL THE RAGE” over and over
- “You’ve inspired us to become who we are.” Unless they are getting super conceptual on me their personas are “kids who stepped out of a time machine from 2007,” that’s unfortunate.
- 1:37 the super, super awkward “trying to be sexy” moment. I wanted to take a pencil and poke out the memory centers of my brain so I could forget I ever saw that :(
- “I don’t have a Facebook, but I’ve added you on MySpace and Stick.am”
- 3:49 that awkward moment when you are sitting on a railing in your backyard doing a BOTDF vocal cover
- 4:14 even more cringeworthy “sexy” moment, via writhing clumsily on a chain link fence
- 4:35 dat “giving you a sexy look over my shoulder as I walk away in slow motion” part. Also, that this part lasts for like 30 fucking seconds.
Overall, I really didn’t even laugh at this, it just kinda bummed me out that these girls are so far behind the times in terms of lulzy trends in jailbait fandom. I feel like I should start some kind of non-profit to help out underprivileged teens like this– we would fly over their ala Habitat For Humanity and do workshops like “The Cutest Singers In SRSCORE” and “From MySpace Ho to Tumblrslut In 30 Days.” If we can touch the life of even one teen, all our efforts are worth it.
You know, up until now, I thought that people saying stuff like “This video causes me physical pain” were exaggerating. Well, turns out I’m wrong-this was honestly painful to watch. Laughed a bit once it was all done, but it was semi forced laughs to ease the pain.
“Laughed a bit once it was all done, but it was semi forced laughs to ease the pain.”
Know that feeling, man. I feel like I need to take a shower after watching that.
my life has been reduced to watching this late at night. thanks, d.
2:39 – dat awkward forced laugh
could these two be some strange metamorphosis of the creatures known as bogans?
this just reminds me of why I miss MySpace
lol’d @ “corps”
Typos, how do they work??
I just imagined a corps of scene kids. :(
In a half a year when these girls make the inevitable transition into hipster trash this video will be the second biggest regret next to that one time they got their local band hero to sign their home made band shirts.
This creeps me out more than that bumfights post.
The one with the braces….eugh. So much bad “dark” sexiness. Even worse is she’s probably like 14 years old.
Should have tagged this “dark sexiness”
Ah, this country man. Sorry on behalf of Aus.
My sister is about this age and a few of her friends are like this. It’s pretty good for the lulz.
I love THE LAST 7 YEARS HAVE BEEN HELL or whatever. That’s half yo life ho
good god this excessive awkwardness
for more bad australian fandom vids czech a band called short stack, i’m sure similar recordings exist.
IF WE CAN TOUCH EVEN ONE TEEN, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT……
I agree… Heh heh heh…
This has to be from three years ago. Did they ever say what year it is? If so maybe they lied about it to freak people out in the 2011. Just random enough to make me sound crazy.
I did some digging and according to another video on the channel that video was made a year ago…so it not quite as bad but still pretty funny
Sidekick war of 2009…..
inform a lost soul?
“MySpace met its demise in The Sidekick War of 2009″
Hilarious.
“jailbait who dress like Pokemon villains”
where do you get these ideas Sergeant D? this is brilliant
Soon they will regret all of this.
Aussie here. They have what we in Sydney call a “Westie Accent”, a sound synonymous with white trash nationwide. They tend to be a couple years behind the trends, especially in the more rural areas.
/defense of the nation
“I know we sound really obsessive” no shit haha, they must be mental. I don’t really understand how anyone could be attached to a band like Blood On The Dance Floor emotionally.
jailbait “chunking deuces” never not hot
Am I right guise
…amirite
I heard that too and shuddered a little. I assume a deuce means something different down under…
I HOPE it means throwing two fingers up bro, not hurling their poo
Wowzers, I had to check my pulse to make sure I wasn’t dead, how is it possible for me to fully NOT find this ‘bait hot? Did I somehow get stricken w’ morality or something? Jeezus! Is this what having a soul feels like?
100% ANTI-FAP
I just couldn’t watch the whole video but 16 year olds speaking about “being through hell in the last years” are never not funny to me.
Her dad must have gotten that tie from the Going Out of Business Sale at Venture.
You know, I have watched women eat each others shit, people being beheaded and burned alive and a horse fuck a man to death and this is where I tapout. I CANNOT WATCH THIS FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE
Backed.
Holy shit.
I skipped forward twice and both times heard ‘like, seriously’. *massages temples*
Srsly though, I’m sure there’s loads of rural emos worldwide still rockin’ myspace.
It’s funny, MOST of the time when I go to a band’s myspace (rare), they say something along the lines of “Last Login – October 21, 2010″, and 99% of the comments are indie rappers promoting their music. Then there is sometimes a straggler legit comment from some kid shooting their praises. Rural emos.
“just stoppin by to show some love.”
Rural Bogans (and coasties) all use goddamn Bebo still. All my cousins reside around the northern parts of NSWs rural areas and they all have Bebo accounts (one or two have FB but barely use it).
They also do ‘pingas’, drink goon and non-ironically idolize Daniel and Nathan from Angry Boys. Some of them are decent people but I can’t help but lulz whenever I go up there for Xmas and they are all dressed like Gangstas and call each other NIGGUH
I am again ashamed to be Australian.
This video made me penis crawl up inside itself and die.
I feel dirty for watching the full thing. I stopped myself 3 times but had to continue.
Weird neck, weird upper arms, hot legs
Started to involuntarily stare at the side image. I couldn’t take it.
the further proof that there’s just too many people on this planet….
somehow i got vomit in my eyes.
