![]() ![]() Iowa State Cyclones: Skrillex & Damian "Jr. ![]() You can't talk about the guy without acknowledging the talent while simultaneously acknowledging that his fanbase is bursting at the seams with recently acquired bandwagoners who don't know shit about him prior to 2009.not that I'm implying any parallels between Kaskade and #FSUTwitter. Here's the thing: Kaskade is actually a talented producer with a history of making some good tunes. I like to call 2012 Will Muschamp's 'Gotye Season', because it's the one time in the last 3 years you've heard of either Will Muschamp or Gotye earning their paycheck.įlorida State Seminoles: Kaskade - 'Atmosphere' SOLD.īoise State Broncos: DJ Skribble - 'Smurf Techno Remix'įlorida Gators: Gotye - 'Somebody That I Used to Know (Tiesto Remix)' It's dated, obnoxiously inoffensive, and appropriately Aryan. (I hate myself for knowing this.) Anyway, this song has to sum up how an Auburn fan has felt since the Kick Six.Īrt Briles may be running an offense from 2024 on the field, but in the stands it's still 1995. This is basically Flo Rida rapping over Avicii's 'Levels'. Anyone who has met a 'Bama fan is silently nodding right now. It's EDM and Country, which means it's doubly unbearable. Go back to revising Discogs already.)Īlabama Crimson Tide: Avicii - 'Hey Brother' ![]() *(Dear purists: I know they're not all EDM. #SO RATCHET URBAN DICTIONARY FREE#Here are a few suggestions for the Big 12 and some of our football brethren around the country, feel free to add your own in the comments as well. Since this 'Sandstorm' situation at South Carolina seems to be more entrenched than Scipio Tex at a thesaurus convention, we might as well get the rest of the CFB landscape started with their own terrible EDM* tunes. Give Daddy his iPad back & go play Call of Duty like a good boy those n00bs aren't going to teabag themselves.) (Side note: If you're one of the people that actually enjoys 'YMCA' at games, tell your parents I'm sorry for cursing in front of you and they shouldn't be letting their child read Barking Carnival in the first place. I had no idea this would happen, and I apologize in advance for the 853 times you will hear this track at the games you attend over the next 20 years. In either case, I'm going to say to the teenagers of today what I wish my parents had said to me about 'YMCA': I'm so, so sorry. It's either going to be 'Sandstorm' or that god-awful ' Zombie Nation' track. Somehow - and I keep using the term 'somehow' because it honestly escapes me how this track landed on its pedestal - Darude's unremarkable 'Sandstorm' has a chance to become the 'YMCA' of my generation a tune that signifies a very specific moment in time but gets trotted out at every sporting event as a cheap way to rally the crowd. THIS tune somehow hung around despite being one of the least interesting tunes of the era. When that bubble burst - and it deflated like Al Roker after lap band surgery - most of the electronic music of the time receded back into the niche crevices it inhabited before.except this fucking tune. It was one of the few tracks to (briefly) make the leap into the larger public consciousness back then, right around the time people were trying to pump up the 'electronica' phenomenon with acts like The Prodigy & Chemical Brothers. Here's a sampling:Īs someone that has a long history in this genre - I've been going to warehouse parties in clubs long enough that I probably partied at a 5th & Chicon rave with some of your.uhm, older siblings - I am keenly aware of this terrible track dating back to 1999 when it crossed the pond and started infecting the sets of every big trance/electronica DJ of the day. In case you missed the South Carolina/Texas A&M game on the opening weekend of college football, much was made about the Gamecocks blaring Darude's 'Sandstorm' over the PA system prior to kickoff. ![]()
