I’m Sorry, But Why Do People Like This?!
Post Malone has released a new song called “Chemical”. I’ve reacted to Post Malone covering Nirvana in the past but today I’m reacting to his own music for the first time. Please, tell me in the comments what you think about this song and why do you think it’s so popular right now.

I am too old. I have seen iterations of this guy a dozen times. There is nothing new or original in him.

Justin, as you are the LAST remaining legit Rock Star from the UK who wasn't in a 70's band….and… 1. has a platform and 2. treats everyone with respect and you deliver your honest opinion……….. so, here goes. i'm a Country Singer….. brought up on the old stuff, cut my teeth in the 90's………. PLEASE do a deep dive on the F1 Trillion Album

Post Malone is a poser. He records music in whatever is popular in the moment so he can capitalize on it financially.

He seems like a talented artist, I just can't get past the auto tune effects, it reminds me of Cher's song Believe, 1998, that pitch sound.

Your dissection of that shit song gave me even more reason to detest Post-Malone. That asshole does not make music for himself but only for low IQ fans from any popular genre.

There’s nothing interesting about Post Malone’s music to me. It’s perfectly described as wet indie pop by Justin. I love a good pop song, but he kind of half asses his way adjacent to a pop hook without actually getting there. Same criticism for T Swift’s newer stuff.

Now conutry he is gifted artist who can sing many genres. And sings from his heart of things from his life. He has a amazing voice hrd a humble king compassionate loving man with love to spread . He had a very energized soul.

EDIT: Clearly I didn't watch the video before I commented. But I'll leave this here as a mark of shame… and also any comment is good for the algorithm.
One year later I'll tell you (and I'm sure others have too, though I did a search, but it only searches the comments I can see, right?): Oxytocin is the "love chemical", that is released when we touch other people for example. Oxycontin is the drug that people refer to as oxy, it's basically analogous to heroin, the opium poppy has a lot of stuff in it, most famously morphine, and you do a really simple chemical reaction to turn morphine into heroin. Another of the compounds in opium is thebaine, it doesn't do much on it's own, but if you perform that same chemical reaction on it you end up with oxycodone (which is the name of the drug, oxycontin is a brand name). For most intents and purposes it is the same as heroin, the same effects, roughly the same potency.

Justin Hawkins
Is behind the times.
Music isn't about good or bad anymore.
It's about giving people something
To respond to.
If people react
You succeed.

It seems inspired by 80s and 90s soft rock, and it makes you feel a certain type of way. I really like this song.

Chemicals is a fucking great song and I'm a metal head, post Malone can do everything plus he's a proper nice stand up guy 👍

Oxytocin is as natural bonding hormone that is released when cuddling or spending time with a person you like alot in close proximity. I am not sure if there is an artificial drug of it also..
