“it’s a Tik Tok song”

Yesterday my 22 year old coworker was singing Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and I thought how great it was that the kids are still listening to bands from the early 2000s and I commented on her liking the band and she looked at me blankly. I said “The song you were singing. It’s Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I love them” and she scoffed and said “It’s a Tik Tok song”. Ugh. Stab me right in my middle aged heart and twist the knife, why don’t you?

Edit: you guys it’s so much worse than I thought! I decided to look into what Maps has going on TikTok and there are a bunch of stupid dances which I kind of expected but the worst part is that the song is sped up into a chipmunk style voice. This is one of my favourite songs of all time so it hurts me that they messed with it so badly. I really hope the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are getting royalties from this. That would make this whole thing at least a little positive
