A little over a year later, how do we feel about Cousins?
Seeing as how this is the only (?) song from that era that doesn’t talk about nazis, it seems more apt for discussion as time goes on.
How did you feel when you first listened to it?
What are your thoughts on the music video?
How has it resonated with you?
Cousins is a very interesting song for me. And it’s out of character for me as It comes from an era that I think should absolutely be left in the past and not talked about anymore. But something’s really different about this song. Of course on a technical level it’s shitty. The mixing is ass, it’s shitty AI over Dave blunts vocals, Dave blunts lyrics, and the second half is just a Dave blunts song (10 percs.) that being said, it’s such an interesting listen to show where ye’s mental state was at the time. I think the song, sonically, perfectly represents repressed childhood trauma. The music video is also very creepy and interesting, almost like an analog horror.
