Edge of Seventeen (Original Video 1981) and online reactions to Edge of Seventeen
 

The original video was basically only seen by a few people. I thought this would be interesting. I also thought it would be interesting to post some online reactions to this song. Watching new reactions is fun.

The song comes at you hard, grabs you up, and flies you away. The goddess is at the peak of her powers here.

At 1:26, I could have sworn $he was doing a line of blow before picking up that doll.

Good catch! You are so right!


On another note these "reaction" videos by millennials drive me nuts. I posted the two black guys reaction to DREAMS a month or so ago and no one commented. Good because they are so fake with their "reactions." I am not a millennial so at first glance I thought it was interesting but holy moly the millennials film themselves constantly with fake reactions from Star Wars trailers to music. Give us a break. Howard Stern did a great segment on this stuff with some guy fake crying to his reaction to the Star Wars trailer. Pretty soon millennials are going to film themselves taking a dump and telling everyone how good it was.
Notice these guys NEVER say anything is bad. Its always pretending to be impressed. The world has lost all authenticity.

OMFG. I couldn't agree more! I sometimes take pics of people taking selfies. Not if they're taking a quick one....but when they're staging it and redoing it over and over for a half hour. They look so ridiculous and shallow.
You're right, the world has lost all authenticity.

What annoys me the most is we are supposed to be "impressed" by their reactions like they did something special or they think they are special.
I was not aware this was a "thing" among millennials until I started seeing more and more of these videos around. The guys who claim they never heard the song "Dreams" have hundred of thousand of subscribers giving their "over acted" reactions to songs. Why would anyone care what someone's reaction is to an old song.
Note to millennials: I will be interested if you show me something worth watching. Do something creative. You wanting us to comment on your staged reactions is the dumbest thing ever yet its a big hit in this world.

everyone seems to want attention but not have to actually produce anything that merits attention. No one wants to do the hard work, they just want the 'glory'.

they also do videos of themselves opening things they've purchased. And they watch (and PAY to watch) each other play online games.
