This was around the time of the 08 housing bubble collapse, a lot of people were dealing with worse working conditions and the sheer number of breakups and divorces that occurred in 08 still surprises me. Fuck Pharell and the wave of shitty music around that time, always seemed to be punching-down music intended for the entertainment of the criminal managerial class.

Its a known phenomenon, seen with Shirley Temple during the depression as example. People tend to want entertainment counter to the world state.
Its how I know we are in clown world times, since not even this indicator seems to play out anymore.
God forbid people have entertainment not designed to make them feel like they could be unemployed tomorrow.
Pharrell’s song was specifically formulated to punch down on us plebs, donchaknow. So hating him for the song is mandatory.
Pharell doesn’t deserve blame, according to this comment thread’s sources:

It was a bit after that. This song came out in 2013. By that point the economy was better and housing was still reasonably affordable.
wasn’t 08 around the time houses went down in price, aka the best time to buy housing?
