weird al was positive vibes this guy feels kinda negative I don't know how to describe it exactly

Actually now that I think about it, I don't think Kyle Gordon could ever do straight absurdist shit like Trapped in the Drive Thru, Everything you know is wrong, or Albuquerque. He really seems to just do stylistic parodies, but he is good at them
>>131050453
I think I know what you mean. Als music is more inviting, Kyle's parodies feel more sarcastic

>it's bad because it's le mean spirited

This.
His stomp clap song is great specifically because it comes from a place of hate

>Gen z
That's a hard pass my nigga

I enjoy 80 percent of this guy's content on youtube shorts and I'm not a zoomer. He's a funny guy.

>>131050419
He’s just too redditty for me

He's good but musically Bo Burnham is better and parody-wise Neil Cicierega is better

please don't hurt me

He obviously has a disdain for the music/topics he's lampooning. A lot of comedy artists are like that whereas Weird Al generally has a healthy respect for the artists and songs he sends up. Just cause he does comedic parody music doesn't make him like Weird Al cause he's also nowhere near as talented. They're still good songs but

It’s because kyle gordon is jewish and weird al yankovic isn’t, despite the how their names sound
So weird al will be timeless because good parody requires you to like a certain part of what you are parodying (like Norm said)

I don't think Kyle hates any of the styles he parodies. Girl of the Heart for example was clearly made with love for weird European 80s/90s dance pop. He knows what gives these styles their charm

>>131050419
People seem to hate this guy with a passion, but I was more impressed with his UK Garage/2-Step parody than any of Weird Al's stuff. Those genres were basically nonexistent here in the mainstream, so you would really have to know your shit to make such a spot-on parody of them as an American.

Whatever happened with his onstage melty last year? Was that a work?

>>131052337
that was a bit anon

Bo Burnham was never funny im really not sorry to break it to you bud

Generally true, but We Will Never Die is dripping with venom.

>>131052337
QRD? What did he do

>>131055745
>We Will Never Die is dripping with venom.
Don't blame him for that, Millennial anthem slop was all made with venom

>>131055976
He does some wacky skits and anon thought it was real.

Some of his songs drip with spite, some of them drip with love. I agree with the post saying that Kyle clearly loves europop in order to have made Planet of the Bass. Or has some appreciation for the shit he's parodying at the very least... he might not love English rap but he sure understoos how to replicate the sound, knocked location scouting out the the park, etc. But at the same time, listen to this:

That's pure spite. Absolute resentment.
Pure incel rage from a non-enormous man. Combine with his "country girl power" song and you almost wonder how he got away with it. His grab-bag mixture of earnest enthusiasm, accurate, slightly derisive parody, and then outright spergout rage songs makes the overall ouvre of his work more engaging than if he just hit one of those notes.

>>131050453
weird al made parody music from the point of view of a parody music writer, Kyle writes parody music as a vehicle to make social commentary on the music he is parodying, he's leddit the musician, everything has to have a meaning and you don't really laugh at it belly laugh like you more so chuckle and feel your big brain tickled by how intelligent his parodies are

he's a millennial and a unfunny hack, musical comedy is the lowest of both art forms

I love his greaser white tee/blue jeans character. This dude is funny as fuck. His music parodies are funny, I saw one where he was doing Paul Simon in Africa. But nothing beats his original westside story gangster shorts.

>>131050453
Just scope any comments on his newest stuff. It's all cynical Redditors re-litigating the problematic aspect of Paul Simon's Graceland because that's the point of his 'parody'. He makes music to write think-pieces about.
