this would prolly be considered a 2022 unpopular opinion but billiam strobeck picked the music for play dead by seeing what songs were popular with kids on "alt TikTok." when I heard deftones and metallica come on i immediately realized that I was not the target demographic. on the bright side apparently a clip was filmed at a spot in my town so that's cool I guess
I realized I wasn't the target demographic when a child's bare belly and chest was filling 90% of the screen
while deftones was playing, but deftones itself is not a problem, I dig the band
I don't like Metallica but I don't have any problems with who does, and I thought it fit Nik Stain's skating pretty well.
It was also weirdly refreshing to hear big songs in a skate vid in an era of copyright hell.
Cringiest shit by far in that vid was the fireworks, but I guess they needed some posters. I don't have /don't watch tiktoks btw
