Today, I continue posting random songs to this Cortex platform to ask Shackers the same question. Does this song suck? Today's song is A. Swayze & the Ghosts' "Connect to Consume."


Reasons it might suck:

  • The song sounds kinda punk, but it is about social media corporations
  • They literally just list off companies
    • It is hard to sound hard or punk while yelling Facebook...
  • It is basically the opposite of punk in a sense
  • The music is pretty basic too
  • 26,000 views on YouTube
    • Shacknews has videos that perform better
      • and we kinda suck
  • The music video makes me want to punch all of the people taking selfies
  • Lead singer seems too damn emo

Reasons it might not suck:

  • This song is featured in the new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2
  • It seems like a fine lazy poppy punk song at its core
  • Connect to Consume is a good title
    • It really describes society today
  • Choreographed dance segments are always appreciated in music videos
  • Band's name reminds me of Patrick Swayze

I kinda want to fight this low rent emo Mark McGrath.
