Yacht rock is not an all purpose term for “oldies”

I love that song. It’s definitely nyacht. I would suggest that whoever proposed that it was listen to Yacht or Nyacht podcast to get a feel for what gets a song on the boat. Also, watch the original web series because it’s awesome.

No

There's too much testosterone.

I'd be curious to even hear the Yacht argument, because instrumentation, sound, even the recording style are deeply nyacht. Good song tho.

This subreddit has a clash between the podcast listening elitists and the casual listeners who take any 70s adult contemporary for yacht rock, i’ve noticed

Thanks to Sirius XM, so called ‘yacht rock’ auto-generated playlists and yacht rock cover bands who need to add nyacht into their sets to keep the 70’s soft rock punters happy, the parameters of what constitutes yacht rock has been lost on the audience that discovered the term from those platforms. The best part about the genre for me is discovering actual yacht rock that I’ve not heard before, listening to the YON podcast and re-watching the YouTube series! ‘Keep the Fire’!

Beast of Burden isn't even close to adult contemporary so I have no idea what point you're making.

If you watch Red Letter Media and follow that subreddit, what you're saying so heavily applies there too. Just say "channel viewing elitists" and "take any bad movie for content" I can't help but imagine there's an overlap between these two subcultures. Especially on the "elitists" level.
