Welcome to the Internet - Bo Burnham (from "Inside" -- ALBUM OUT NOW)

it’s so on brand how i fucking love this piece of media on the internet talking about how the internet is fucked as I lay in bed scrolling through youtube recs wasting my day away, compelled.

His voice changes drastically between every song. Like- listen to “shit” and then listen to this. Its so awesomg

"Apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime." Yeah.

The irony of watching this on the internet is not lost on me.

The glasses were a brilliant choice The uncaring, unfeeling soulless nonchalance is terrifying

It's so true how the internet has blurred everything together. You see something tragic and then there's a meme right below. We hardly have a chance to process emotions and so it all turns to be numb

-No high budget effects. -No half-naked women. -No drugs. -No guns. Just a guy in a room with a keyboard, mic and a light show.

To top it off with “And if we stick together, who knows what we’ll do. It was always the plan. To put the world in your hand.” Then followed by the worlds most evil sounding laughter ever, then switches into fast paced “Could I internist you in everything, all of the time, apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime” shows that the lack of care the world has for a single person, YOU. and that the “world in your hand” isn’t always the best thing. You see for how truly terrible and evil people can be and that if the internet connects the world together, then the internet would be the worst place from the start because of that. Bo then covers it in the beginning with a wholesome sounding song, but cracks in the paradise of the internet start to show, and in the end, it all is let loose. The evil of humanity can never be hidden, especially on the internet, no matter what you do.

this is villain song indeed but it's a song of a villain who actually got his message across and won.

"Can I interest you in any thing and everything, all of the time." Now if that's not a way to sum up our current time, I don't know what else will.

Man disappears for a couple years. Comes back and drops this banger. Doesn't elaborate. Fear him.

My mom walked by when he said all the harry potter characters f*cking eachother 💀 She standed there looking at me like " 😟 "

There is an adult radio station in germany, called "Deutschlandfunk", which normally only has documentaries, news and politics. The only times they play music its normally whenever some Jazzmusician has died. And only at 1am. They played your song at least twice already, which actually means they accepted this song as part of a new culture, as something important that people need to hear. Congrats.

Imagine being a rural 80-year-old farmer or something, finally being like "fine, I guess I'll try the internet", and then this is the first thing you see.

“It was always the plan, to put the world in your hand” followed by maniacal laughter. That sums up the monkey’s paw that smart phones were. It was one thing when then the sum of human knowledge and consciousness was in a box on your desk that took 5 minutes to load. It’s another thing to have effectively instant access to almost all human knowledge and consciousness in your pocket at all times.

im old for remebering this as if it were 1 week ago

i feel like this isn’t a “welcome” song…it’s more of a “it’s all over now. and look at what happened—what we made happen” song

Oh. This isn’t like a “Be Prepared” or “Hellfire” villain song. This is like the Prince Ali reprise, where the villain has already won.

if the internet is ever shut down permanently (dumb concept but go along ) this should be the outro

I am both sad and terrified at the idea of how many people took these words without realising the deep meaning behind them taking all the words at face value
