#Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
Absolutely hate that song. It's bad enough that it's the poster child for baby's first "emo/goth" song. Badly written, overly dramatic, cheesy cringe af.... But I hate it for more than that.
I used to do (nearly) weekly karaoke with friends at the bar. And almost every week, every goddamn week, some "quirky" scene couple on their first date thinks they'll try to be cute sing a duet together... and everytime, every goddamn time, it's "Bring me to Life". And no, they can never sing, it sounds like if gym sneakers had autism.
Hate that song. Not just me, like, everyone who frequently does karaoke hates that song. Most karaooke DJs don't even let you pick it, they know what's up and they're even more sick of hearing it. I hear that song and I get fucking PTSD flashbacks. The cringe is physically painful.
I both have no idea what this means and also can't stop laughing.
I love singing this song on kareoke. It's great, because most girls had an emo phase, so I can peer pressure them into singing it (with me as the duet) and they'll have a good time. It is both simultaneously cheesy and a fondly remembered song from adolescence, which makes it a perfect kareoke song - since the point of kareoke isn't to sing well, but rather to get in front of a group of people, make yourself vulnerable, and feel the rush of stage fright. Wake Me Up is easy to get on stage for because you already know the words, but is fun because you get to reveal your cringy, angsty teen self that you are embarassed of on stage and see every single other person in the crowd singing along with you.
So it's you.
I am well aware that it's a popular song. I also know that karaoke is about having fun and being a bit cringe. I get all of that, I used to do karaoke all, the, time....
For you, you're just kind of visiting.... you both think you're being cutesy and special and unique.... to everyone else, hatred. It's like when someone goes to Guitar Center and thinks they'll show off how "cool" they are by trying to play "Stairway to Heaven" but to the staff and regulars it's like the 4th time that day.... hatred. Plus everyone there now knows you're basic, and probably a poser.
Lol. My friends and I have a good time. That's all I care about.
Listen to the goofy version and you'll forget the original ever existed. It'll heal you.
You absolutely should(n’t) watch season 2 of The Rehearsal.
