This is exactly what I was expecting. I was not disappointed.

Can’t go wrong with Electric Callboy

u/Elias1200 Jul 18 '24

I still search them with eskimo callboy instead of electric.😅

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '24

I was going to use that, but didn’t want to risk a “ban” over people not knowing that

u/dRuEFFECT Jul 18 '24

with amazon music, if i tell alexa to play music by "electric callboy" it then plays music by someone named "electric cowboy", but if i say play music by "eskimo callboy" then it actually plays music by "electric callboy"..... it's really annoying

Everyone should, everyone should know that they were friends with, and openly supported the runners of IsAnyoneUp, even writing a song about it, and then tried to virtue signal by changing their name later on? Nope, fuck 'em.

It’s ok to be an angry little troll

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

Well you can, which is why they changed their name and deleted half their old library off the internet.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '24

Well they didn’t exactly delete it, just reuploaded it

But let’s be honest, why be upset over them trying to gain fame and not hate. Have to respect them for taking the mature route.

Liquid Death takes a similar mature route, except they use hate

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

I literally didn't say anything that would disrespect them, just making an observation.

The mature route would be to have not been culturally insensitive to begin with, but yes, better late than never.

Oh trust me I know you weren’t. I’m just saying better to be safe than sorry on their end.

But oh well, they are still are fun to listen to

In December 2021, the band announced that they were removing old songs from all platforms due to lyrics that have "become more increasingly problematic in modern times".

Here's what I was talking about, btw. They did more than change their name, they buried much of their past as well.

Yeah I guess I’m still a fairly new fan that some of it is foreign to me

1

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

Indeed. I definitely don't want to blame any one member, but it was right at the same time as their clean singer, Sushi, left the band to focus on doing Ghøstkid, that the rest of the band decided to reconfigure their brand while they were searching for their current singer.

I don't think Sushi was particularly solely responsible for their misguided path, and Ghøstkid is some legit music as well. It probably had a lot more to do with their own personal ignorances of being young, and I'm guessing they all became more enlightened as they traveled the world and were introduced to other cultures.

So ultimately, they're all on a good path and past sins can usually be forgiven as long as the gesture of change is an honest one.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '24

I would also hardly call it a sin, when it was indeed just ignorance. If that’s the case, we are all sinners 😂

1

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

If that’s the case, we are all sinners 😂

Literally the premise of all religion.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '24

Wouldn’t that make the premise of “free thinking” a façade? And why the hell are we going this deep over a band that has literally said “rubber ducky clusterfuck” or “I’ve seen a lot of boobies” ? XD

Edit: I mean I would have never questioned their name, other than the fact they have a unique name. Similar to xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx just without the keyboard smash

Thankyou. I'm turning 40 soon and that's helped me feel vaguely relevant.

Same age and same reaction!

u/poundhound66 Jul 18 '24

Yes. This is the one.

u/Altruistic_Poetry382 Jul 18 '24

I haven't clicked yet, but is it Babylon Zoo?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '24

Yes. This is the one I wanted.

u/warm_rum Jul 18 '24

How was the og link not Babylon

u/Mentaldavid Jul 18 '24

Same. I guess you're also at least in your mid thirties or 40+?

u/chunkyasparagus Jul 18 '24

Yes! That's the one!

Well fuck you YouTube, and WMG.

Actually I think they were trying to save me from that song. I apologize to the Google overlords, as Spotify did NOT try to save me from... that.

Disappointed in that song, that's horrendous.
