Reply to comment by western_red in Jury Awards Flo Rida $82 Million in Lawsuit Against Celsius by Clem_Doore

Not really just out of touch. Flo Rida has been around for more than a decade. So has Celsius.

Yeah unless they haven’t stepped into a club, bar, wedding, house party, or turned on a radio since 2008 I don’t believe they haven’t heard the song “Low” by Flo Rida ft. T-Pain. That is one of the most played songs for at least a 10 year period that I could think of.

When you get to adulthood you'll find most people don't know the names of new artists, even when the songs are massively popular

You don’t have to. His music has also appeared in 128 movies, tv, or music videos. Most notably Deadpool and most recently The Simpson’s.

I worked in a stripclub for a decade. I know the words to any of the popular songs during that time, but that doesn’t mean I know the artist or even the song’s name.

You can define it as “out of the loop,” as the music I liked wasn’t really what’s played on the radio. There’s a lot of stuff out there and it’s hard to keep track of it all, and in the end not really worth it unless it matters to you personally.

That wasn’t the point. People acting like they have no clue who he is but a quick google search would clue people in. “Oh, it’s this guy.” I’m not saying you have to know anyone’s name. Just a trend I see on Reddit of people acting as if they are “out of the loop.” I see it as a tired and lazy comment that’s repeated in every thread.

I've been to a couple of weddings, mostly listen to public radio. I've seen Deadpool, so I have probably heard "Low", but it didn't make an impression --- I just found it on YouTube, and it doesn't ring any bells. Sorry. I know lots of movies (and I do watch lots of movies) include music, but unless the songs are already familiar or you take notes during the credits, associating even a memorable song with the artist(s) that produced it is not a given.
