This post and question is inspired by following a bunch of tennis accounts on Instagram where 9.5 out of 10 clips opt for some bro-ey dubstep EDM Tiktok mashup with drops and wobble bass

All that angry Eminem and the nu metal vibes

YEP I HAD TO BE THAT GUY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAi9a5k-wvQ

I was nineteen, at the Jim Drews Invitational at UW-Lacrosse the first time I heard a two-hour pregame mix of songs that mention running at least once, broken up only by three different instances of "sandstorm" and I've heard the exact same lineup dozens of times since.

Distance runners are absolute hogs for acknowledgement. It's very embarrassing.

It's now the official song of "wisely stopping an 8K race before the diarrhea starts"

Stadiums blaring shitty songs and even more shitty marching band covers at half time.

My father in law is alumni and has season tix so we are fortunate enough to go to a couple games every year. It's a lot of fun.

But fuck - Mr. Brightside and shit ?? Get that nonsense out of my face.

As a Patriots season ticket holder, I can say they do a decent job at Gillette. Their touchdown song is absolutely abhorrent and offensive, but they play a lot of hip-hop .. Interlude by JayZ really gets the crowd going (i.e. me), they play Snoop, and a bunch of other good stuff. So I can live with that haha.

I've literally never heard that song outside of Michigan games. I get that college fan bases get connections to random songs based on when groups go through school and then start being played at the stadium. But the demographics of our fan base at games are so wide in terms of generations, I have no idea how stuff like this happens:

But I will admit that no matter the song, it is kinda the best when an entire stadium is singing one song in unison - especially one the size of The Big House. Just wish it was almost literally any other song haha.

to be able to hear it THAT clearly thru the TV at a "neutral" field was pretty amazing

was giving me chills. I was rocking Pump It Up non stop for a good couple weeks...

I was in my family room holding up folding chairs and everything and I don't even know what it means. It's provocative - get's the people going...

... but it's really cool when 111,000 people are cheering in unison regardless of the song.

They seem to gravitate towards college sports

Do with this what you want

Who??!!

I’m not sure if I can name names Hahaa.

during the lesson glory days, some of them came in trying to essentially troll with ICP stuff. And it was received, as you would imagine iCP would be received lol

& the pretentiousness/ clique-yness of music nerds in the lesson.

as you can imagine they thought it was the actual band members ...they got outraged/upset/emotional, and we all had a laugh in OKS.

Satire/parody sometimes goes over some peoples heads, and he clearly didnt get the "joke"

Edit....(We also had Karl Malone and Robert Kelly aliases here. I wonder if he thinks they were real as well)

those were the glory days of OKP

And the nuance and layers of comedy on OKS used to be higher than ANYTHING on the net. Literally ANYTHING. Nowhere else can you see agendas and inside jokes that have evolved over multiple decades, outlasting entire generations of athletes.

It’s okay if you like ICP fam

that all landed for you in a literal way?

cmon lol

Re: ICP and ViolentCeej, of course stuff like this was literal:

I didn’t see them in that post, so I thought maybe I missed someone else’s passing.

>that all landed for you in a literal way?

You seem like such a happy family guy now.

Happy for you

There’s a current poster named Ceej who I was referring to in my original
Post. You know, named after the front man of ICP

This isn’t difficult

the frontman of ICP is Violent J. also, not really a "frontman" but whatever. his partner is Shaggy 2 Dope

Ceej made an alias inspired by that known as ViolentCeej. ErnestLeee made Ernie2Dope. the other posters from Detroit acted as "juggalos". it was a recurring gag lmao.

Why would you think "Ceej" was in homage to ICP?

i certainly wouldn't have *thought* it was difficult, but im currently re-evaluating that belief...

Like I said, satire can be a bit much for some people to comprehend

Made Niners / Rams even more enjoyable

Now that they're not playing music on Quinceanera speakers their song choice can shine

Barclays gets a nod for Nets games and boxing events

i missed the game yesterday but highlights wise its crazy how many 9er fans were there

Rams games are generally good for at least 30% opposing fans except for teams that travel well like the Cowboys or Steelers. I know there's no shortage of 49er fans but i didn't expcect them to be THAT deep

My only gripe with SoFi was the parking mess. everyone's an asshole lol

even Cowboys at Metlife this year wasn't that bad

as well as Rams fans travel too. They come to NYC and ride the subway all week to watch their team make a mockery of the Giants

But then get outbid by tech bros in SoFi's second year in a 12-win season?

Very confused man

even though i know several 49er fans. it seemed like when we were young everyone was a Cowboys 49ers or Raider fan.

Only game i went to at SoFi was about 30% Titans fans which was a little surprising but not really.

At the Colosseum there were more Seahawks fans than Rams fans, Even Bucaneers fans were deep which was pretty suprising to me... it was a couple years ago but pre-Brady

i didn't really think Rams fans traveled at all lol

(im joking but it seems that way)

Ive heard Black Star, Mobb Deep, Pharcyde, SMif N Wessun, LOOTPACK!, Street Biggie (aka Who SHot ya Invincible, Gimme Da Loot ) etc ...lol when I was growing up and went to Pistons games the DJ's only played classic rock anthems.

vs. MSG or MetLife

It's surprisingly nice to hear 90s rap at a game vs. Gary Glitter
