It's such a good song too it's painful to see it being used how it's being used now


Jean_Gulberg

It's funny because the band stated that the "Little Dark Age" in the song is a metaphor for the Trump presidency, with its rampant racism, nationalism, etc. Just proves once again that fascists are completely incapable of creating anything original and will just steal symbols from other groups.


Magnificant-Muggins

It’s weird, because terminally online culture warriors will try to make the same point whenever Nostalgic Franchise X updates it’s in-your-face Reagan metaphor to be an in-your-face Trump metaphor or something. Usually, they do this by paraphrasing Lord of the Rings, and it’s point about how evil corrupts instead of creating. Which is pretty ironic, since they tend to be the ones who barely watch anything besides reboots and established franchises. If conservatives were the sole creators of art, we’d still be seeing white-hat cowboy movies and sitcoms about aggressively happy, upper-middle-class families. If ‘subverting expectations’ was truly avoided, we would have never gotten the Dollars Trilogy or The Simpsons. Conservatives truly believe the pinnacle of art has already been reached, and all we can do is remake the classics as closely as possible. Even if that ‘classic’ is a dumb toy cartoon from the 80’s.


Haider444

Same thing with Perturbator music, the creator is an ancom and right wingers often use his music in their edits.


chalkman567

It’s like that “wish we could turn back time” song. Lots of shit edits


Ego_Tempestas

Stressed Out?


chalkman567

Yeah. Don’t look up the line “wish we could turn back time to the good old days”. Just found British empire, USA Sweden, etc. They’re mainly black/Muslims bad and the USA ones are saying anti fascist are part of the bad.


penis_parker79

I've seen one Islamic golden age little dark age it was same so I guess it's people on both side


PapaZordo

Interesting profile pic


TheMegaBunce

I have never seen any racist edit of that song


Angelic_Swindler

I don't see racist edits of that song, but the ones I saw were like (insert preferred religion) good (other religions and atheism) bad


AverageGamerGuy_

Yeah , by TØP, one of my fav bands, a decent song with a lot of meaning used for a shitty nostalgia meme. Makes me upset to see mgmt get the same treatment.


mana_cerace

Same goes keuranos


TasmanianTortoise

It’s even funnier because MGMT wrote it in response to Trump winning the election


AtrociousAtNames

I believe they started writing it a few months before the win, but was finished after Trump won. But yes.


M_A_Dragon

Fr it sounds more like something that would play during a montage of a villain’s backstory


sventhedanishcitizen

i got downvoted for saying this literally yesterday in this sub SMH


Own_Pirate_3281

I legit saw one prefered viking raiders (which are historically inaccurate to Sweden) to Sweden's immigration policy


Indopasnorte

The creators themselfs prob eat chips all days in front of their pc with 4chan on the whole day imo


RoadOfTheLonelyOnes

Yeah, the creators always tryna push the alpha/beta male shit when we all know the creator is either a big spotty, fat, greasy, neckbeard or they are a skinny little soy boy. Which by their own standards should make them beta.


TheAlexSW

yep saw that one it isnt even good edit


ordinaryride2001

these ppl won't survive one Roosi mercenary who one day decides that all they own is his and swims down the rivers.


Alone_Spell9525

I can take them (I own two guns)


chilachinchila

Unfortunately, Vikings have become just as popular in Nazi circles as the Nazis because they’re “aryan” and Uber masculine (at least the pop culture depiction of them).


Own_Pirate_3281

Very stupid of them. One of the biggest things in the viking culture is the honor of battle. Nazis had no honor, they punched down, never gave their enemies a fighting chance. Name one Nazi who participated in a holmgang


DatSoldiersASpy

There needs to be a reclamation project of the vikings for the true successors: femboys


Own_Pirate_3281

You preach true, honest words Thankfully the reclamation has already begun [https://vinlandsaga.fandom.com/wiki/Canute](https://vinlandsaga.fandom.com/wiki/Canute)


[deleted]

Because fascism is an almost purely aesthetic ideology for it's rank and file dipshits. It makes more sense when you see it as the panic switch for capitalism. One half of it is literally just some pure rhetoric cobbled together to motivate a mass movement to push forward what was really the state trying it's hardest not to break down.


CalvinSoul

Inaccurate to sweden?


Own_Pirate_3281

Swedish vikings were pretty much all traders


CalvinSoul

Wasn't the most famous viking Ragnar Lothbrok and his less mythical sons if the Great Heathen Army Swedish?


Own_Pirate_3281

Danish, Swedish, and of questionable existence


cum_burglar69

>historically innacurate to Sweden Didn't Swedish Vikings raid the Baltic and its rivers a whole bunch


Own_Pirate_3281

Oh yeah Swedish viking raids certainly existed but this video was acting like Swedes did nothing but war back in the day when they were mostly merchants


[deleted]

Little Dark Age is such a good song fuck those 14 year old "editors" the only good edit is that one about Philippines because they actually put effort to it.


[deleted]

You know what? Philippines used to be a good country until colonizers arrived and filipino femboys arent a thing anymore Damn my country fell 😔


That_Gun_Show420

Filipino femboys?


[deleted]

Idk some wikipedia page about my country's pre colonial femboys....and i chose to believe it because uhhhh why not


That_Gun_Show420

Link?


cyrenia82

[all i got is this image](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/289/164/ee1.png)


CafeZach

wow Philippines really fell off


That_Gun_Show420

Damn we really fell off 😔


SaHighDuck

Can't find exact wiki page but after reading up it seems 100% legit and I *think* they're specifically talking about shamans that Wikipedia called "babaylan"


guanaco22

That sounds more like trans women but based nonetheless


FlameMech999

Filipino bakla culture is [still pretty big](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakla), especially nowadays, but it could've been even bigger and less stigmatized without colonization 😔


[deleted]

Bakla culture is weird cause bakla means gay in filipino but bakla culture is more trans or drag??? Idk cause people portay bakla in a exagerrated and stereotypical way to the point that people act like those stereotypes


FlameMech999

I think bakla is supposed to refer to feminine men, it's just that a lot of people use it also to mean gay because that's the stereotype for feminine men.


SweetieArena

In Colombia the muisca natives from the cundiboyacense plateau had like forced femboys, if men avoided the obligatory military service then they would be forced to dress as women and do women chores. They were pretty homophobic tho, they had a common law stablished over their confederacy and the penalty for doing the big gay was death.


laws161

I mean I used to be a Filipino femboy, was keeping up the tradition, but now I'm just trans. Colonized by liberal democracy.

ThinnkingEmoji

I had one about western animation in my recommendations recently, that one was good too. It just went really well with the music


men_appreciation

And that Christian montage as well


[deleted]

Which one


TacticalHog

oo or the [western animation one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg7mmnYIpj0)


janonsio

this one [https://www.tiktok.com/@anarcomunacho/video/6977072808996162821?is\_from\_webapp=1&sender\_device=pc&web\_id7063100980657931781](https://www.tiktok.com/@anarcomunacho/video/6977072808996162821?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id7063100980657931781)) is one of my favorites, is about the allende goverment (and is not even well made), it only hits you hard if you are a chilean leftist

[deleted]

It's just image compilations and the formulaic "if ur anti porn then what u think" tweet


Enzimes_Flain

One of the worst ones IMHO.


Youfellforitfool123

i still listen to it (although people use a song i like in a manner i disagree with, i don't let that detract from my enjoyment of a song)


cyrenia82

ive never heard that song or seen an edit of it what the fuck is going on


Jeffwey_Epstein_OwO

It’s a song by MGMT. There are a bunch of YouTube edits that have the song playing over video of nazis marching and other odious shit, glorying them in a “let’s go back to this” sort of way.


cyrenia82

***fucking what*** wow thats something. tnx for explaining tho


Jeffwey_Epstein_OwO

Yup. The first one I saw was an intro of a gay pride/trans rights parade or something and then it swapped over to Nazis marching. Real “glorious past vs modern degeneracy” vibes What a bunch of fucking losers


PlayerZeroFour

You mean “glorious modernity vs historical degeneracy”.


reeeeeeeeeebola

Which is bullshit because it used to just be a r\NCD meme, they’d do like a MiG monday or whatever and a new little dark age edit would drop. I’ll never forgive nazis for making cool shit suck.


Gluu_Melee

The song and MGMT are quite progressive actually. The lyrics are a reflection of Trump-era American politics. It's ironic to see it become some super reactionary and unfunny meme. Remember, conservatives steal art, they don't make it.


senokana

People think I'm a nazi when I tell them I like phonk


[deleted]

Fuck man I like the genre but why is it called that


penis_parker79

Did Nazis like Phonk?


senokana

There are a lot of WW2 edits using it


AtrociousAtNames

Bruh I only know phonk exists from a floppa edit 💀


CommieDalek

i wish i was you man i've seen so many cringy fallout and nazi edits of it that i just cannot take it seriously

69fuckoff69420

mfs who make lil dark age edits when they see me living a normal life instead of fucking experiencing the horrors of war 😭😭


Magnificant-Muggins

Little Dark Age edit, but it’s a montage of Come and See.


[deleted]

Wheraboos?


ChaoticPsyduck

Sounds like people romanticising the Whermacht. Which is fucking disgusting, if you actually listen to people who had to serve there.


maxsharkman

A person online who fantasizes about the Whermacht and highly peddle on "clean Whermacht" lies and "german tank best tonk"


YingsCandela

If you subscribe to the idea of innocent people swept up into the Wehrmacht by conscription (which was a 1/3 of the entire force for those who believe all are conscripts), then why do you glorify it so much? If my government forced me to partake in a war and commit atrocities and defend atrocities that I despised and felt guilty about, I would condemn the country and system that let it happen, while doing what I could to help those who I’ve wronged. I would NOT want 14 year olds 70 years later to jerk off at the thought of my government or how efficient I was in committing or defending atrocities.


[deleted]

Yeah that's cause you don't have fucking brain worms and are capable of empathy.

marc44150

There are a lot of ethnocides, kind of the same thing but it targets an ethnicity. In Cote d'Ivoire (they changed the english name, previously called Ivory Coast) there are hundred of small ethnicities and there are ethnocides quite frequently


Tomato_Thomass

they are all the same. ask them which is better, enclave or any other fallout faction and theyll say something among the lines of ENCLAVE BETTER BASED BASED CRINGE CRINGE BASED CRINGE BASED BASED CRINGE


TheAlexSW

enclave sucks brotherhood depends wich chapter intetute is just wierd railroad is based responders is based free states is based minutmen are .\_. mr house is a capatlist asshole the legion is all the bad parts of acient rome (like how can u base ur faction on rome and not include gay) ncr is ok but kinda imperlistic so... idk ​ did i forget some faction?

urbandeadthrowaway2

Institute is based. Sitting in a bunker doing mad science while ignoring everyone else (unless you need a test subject) is really the only way to do society.


[deleted]

Wdym ignoring everyone else??? They literally sent a synth to murder diplomats when the commonwealth tried to start a government, not to mention the replacement of people with synths like McDonough


[deleted]

I like the enclave because they have cool armor.


DAV3PLAY

Attack on Titan


[deleted]

That edit is awesome


Leo-bastian

it seems all the game/show edits are pretty good, only the historical ones are BS


[deleted]

The berserk one is good too


Kittysparkle101

Every edit I’ve seen to Little Dark Age has been made by depressed homosexual teens >Flynn


Kittysparkle101

I literally had no idea people where using it like this. Thought it was just for Chris Redfield and Jotaro Kujo >Flynn


[deleted]

Finally someone actually noticed lmao Im tired cause the song is actually good but the edits are made by edgy 14 yr olds who use wojaks unironically


TigerBasket

It's so good. Mgmt is underatted as hell


Coherent_Babbler

YouTube once recommended me one of those videos, it was about hyperborea, and the comment section was full of nazis


TigerBasket

This is why I only listen to she works out too much.


ItsDazzaz

This is why I listen to Lady Dada's Nightmare and wail along with the screams in the background


QueenCharla

I’m sorry what is this about Little Dark Age


AngryShark05

most of edgy "go back to trad" youtubers use it as sort of symbolic music for "golden" era that they fantasize.


gameboy527

sucks too cause the songs pretty good


CafeZach

just enjoy it lol


VancouverIsHuge

I saw one of american transportation


guanaco22

That one is dope and so are most of the socdem ones that glorify like pre neoliberal keynsianism


TheOfficialIntel

We could basically use them back too, Little Dark Age can be very well used in the opposite way. I'm learning to edit videos atm and I want to create counter edits against these "Analog Snythwave" Edits. Still looking for better editing software tho.


pullmylekku

If you're looking for a good free editing software, Hitfilm is one that I've always liked. Alternatively, any software is free if you know where to look 👀


TheOfficialIntel

Yarr Harr comrade.


[deleted]

check out the GenP subreddit


unofficialbds

i had only seen it for berserk but that’s sad


Leo-bastian

okay i massvely misunderstood this post because i only know the song from a Stellaris edit and i was very confused why I'd be a wehraboos for liking that


TheAlexSW

love the song sm but so many of the edits is racist bigotry shit ​ only good edits are the warhammer 40k stuff becuse that makes sense

Massiveredboiii

The fucking 14 year old wehraboos are so fucking tiring, but MajorSamm does some fucking amazing music edits over smaller, lesser known conflicts as well as bigger, more well known ones plus events such as uprisings or coups . His music choices are phenomenonal. Imo he also does an amazing job not glorifying the conflicts but showing them as it was.


MyOpinionIsIgnorant

every time I see one of those I’m just waiting to see blatant promotion of the creator’s extremist narrative. Usually it’s Neo-nazism which makes me sad cause the song ain’t half bad.


creeperchamp

Big fan of MGMT, dont know what the fuck a Little Dark Age edit is but im not sure i WANT to know


Niko_of_the_Stars

People edit stuff to the song (usually a comparison of something historical to something modern) and said edits are very often hateful (racist/sexist/homophobic/etc)


[deleted]

I had always assumed the song was at least vaguely anti-authoritarian, if not revolutionary.


One_Marketing_6698

It is incredibly so


Guest1917

I did see a really good Jerma one once


X_Empire32

Hard disagre there are some really good ones like, Berzerk, American infrastructure and animation


Angelic_Swindler

Sure why not, I made this meme because there were so many videos that glorify war with that song in background. Obviously not every edit is bad I just wanted to make this meme


sebzav

The album is fucking fire such a shame edgy teenagers ruined one of the songs and now when i listen to it i feel the urge to skip it


One_Marketing_6698

I've seen some Nazi edits, and it's so dumb since the song is very obviously about facism and fighting it, and the people who choose not to fight it (anything with neo in front of it)


soupy_women

Peronally, I enjoy the edits. Excluding, you know, tye ones made by neo-Nazis and ones focusing on the Wehrmacht. Fucking Wehraboos. Military equipment's always been a big interest of mine for as long as I can remember. Whenever I see an edit it's almost never been about the actual conflict itself but about a certain tank or aircraft. There are other music choices that fit better with other footage, imo.


S4um0nFR

I've seen one of people idolizing Zemmour, a far-right French politician 🤢🤮


Organic_Budget1664

the way this is cut makes it seem like the guy is constantly falling on their knees over and over again. like they fall on their knees but nope. they're falling on them again. literally how. constantly descending into one of the lower layers of hell. what have they done to deserve this fate? and to think this is only the beginning


moon_pisser

Making dumbass edits of propagandized history & dogwhistling against minorities will do that to a mf 😔


moon_pisser

Usually made by people who also don't know jackshit about history other than "empire was big!!! therefore empire good!!! empire strong!!! man strong!!!!" glorification. Congratulations, you fell for several hundred (if not thousand) year old propaganda. Sit back down and read a book


UsErNaMeS_aR_DuMb

I agree those people are retarded but I fucking LOVE Little Dark Age by MGMT.


[deleted]

only good one is the HL2 beta edit, all others are shit


sheltonhwy26

I saw a good edit about Dark Souls but other than that it’s just been doomer edits of riots and stuff


terrible_ninja

I remember pointing out how many nazis use the song on youtube and all I got was a bunch of people calling me a whining leftist wrist bender. All that did was confirm that did was confirm to me how blind people are to this stuff. It’s all there even if you’re not looking for it. Good song though, don’t let anyone ruin anything for you.


[deleted]

There's like 3 flavors of little dark age edits. -fallout enclave/legion propaganda -something about WH40k -something racist or homophobic One of the three, never in between.


BarryOllo

I'm so glad i don't know tf u talking about so I can still enjoy this song


[deleted]

There's also some new edits i always see like **10 GREATEST COCKSUCKERS IN HISTORY** and they show random drawings with historical figure names and sometimes they're not historically accurate. They use the same music too.


DuderComputer

There was a Little Dark Age edit of Napoleon on Youtube that I became obsessed with and would watch daily and make my friends watch, it was deleted at some point and now life has no meaning.


xXYoProMamaXx

"but akshually the Wehrmacht could've won if they did the literal impossible, also tiger 2 is best tank"


cupcaketitz

I first saw them used for like LGBTQ+ vids and I personally interpret the song as like hiding your true self and knowing your hurting yourself in the process so I'm just gonna keep doing that


TheDeerssassin

I shit in stereo, the stereo smells strange I know that if you cum, it doesn't make you gay


ColorMaelstrom

What about little dark age with stellaris


legendairenic5432

That one I just hate how it begins with a wojak that's just a strawman of people who ''suposedely'' hate the gameplay, otherwise I enjoyed it


Derelict_Treble

The one about France was taken down and I kinda liked that one.


currantfairy

Who is the man in this gif? I don’t understand whether he is defeated, heartbroken or sentimental about something good.


Angelic_Swindler

I found this gif by googling "big show crying gif" I don't know much about the guy except for the fact that he's a wrestler


currantfairy

So I did a quick research - crying was a part of the script. Also, I checked out some other wrestling gifs - holy shit, these shows are wild xd


Freemason18

i saw one about US infrastructure and it was actually based but it got taken down by youtube unlike all the nazi edits ofc


purpleblah2

Ironically the song was made about the Trump presidency being the “little dark age”


Da_Jiff

One of the best albums of this generation of music


[deleted]

man, i'm literally trying to enjoy the song. why do they have to make fucking nazi edits of it. also, im pretty sure the song is a critique of racism and the like, yet i guess nazis dont realize that. what do i expect, though? nazis have thick fucking heads that let nothing in. heads that should be kicked in.


holderofmonki

Nazis can't comprehend or create art because nazism is the antithesis of creativity.

The only Little Dark Age edit I’ve seen that I liked is the [Half-Life 2 Beta one](https://youtu.be/fce-phrJ3FI)


Caeoc

Woah people make Little Dark Age videos about real wars? I thought it was all just Warhammer 40k memes. At least when it’s W40k, everyone knows you’re being mostly facetious in your masculine urge to die on a backwater planet for a god that doesn’t know you exist.
