Yeah. Apparently he has 7.3 million subscribers.I do have a habit of clicking on pointless nonsense, so the algorithm's probably just throwing everything at the wall.

It was only after I watched Frankie Boyle's TV show the other week (I know, I know) that I discovered Love Island isn't actually an island.

i liked watching Love Island with my daughter last week cos it's really designed to sit and joke about it with somebody else
obv i feel the pain of non-football fans subjected to World Cup fever for a month but tbh we all have to live surrounded by bullshit fever for some shitty cultural thing that we don't care about 99 percent of the time so i think people shd really be able to manage just fine and suffer in silence

I never liked the song but I never really hated it. as far as I can remember it was always a joke, like 'Never Gonna Give You Up' even pre-Rickroll. I don't understand the sudden surge in ironic/or is it? talk of Toto's 'Africa.'

I like it, it's a good song, but not that good.

I've started really liking it after listening to EccoJams a lot earlier this year.

Africa by Toto was in GTA: Vice City making it a favourite lol 80s song of a whole generation. But that predated current social media, and perhaps the subsequent generation is catching on to it now? (feel like maybe this isn't the case and it's all 30 year olds creating the Africa content)

i really like never gonna give you up and have done it at karaoke a few times. it goes down absolutely terribly and I'm never doing it again

The Africa by Toto thread already went over - in excruciating detail - the issues of whether the song was always awesome (and fortuitously rescued from obscurity by memedom), always in the culture (which was exactly where it belonged), always a joke and only referenced for camp/"ironic" reasons, and every permutation in between.
I understand some ilx0rz may be late to this particular party, but the "I don't care" thread seems an odd place to open those buckets of worms. If you truly don't care, then move on with your life.
If you are interested in discussing the nuances of how/why this song is being perceived and discussed in the year of our lord 2018, then it stands to reason that you do, in fact, actively care.

i mean people usually explicate why they don't care about something itt. usually between 1-4 posts... toto has always been in the culture but i've just sensed an uptick in the last six months or so. whatever. Good song
