your LEAST favourite sound in music

Arcade Fire definitely a big part of the whoop but I think it's also a variant of the whoa-oh-oh's you'd hear in some pop-punk/emo songs in the early '00s

there's even a hint of it in Killing Joke's 2003 album! (1 minute in)

imo focusing on the specific interval is maybe missing the bigger pattern of wordless oh-ohs - like "til the world ends," "some nights" and "pompeii" are what i would reach for as examples of this sound and its intentions. or do those all fit the motivic bill also?

Wasn't the whoop an Italo Disco thing? Not just "Tarzan Boy" but also this 1987 track (the chorus at 2:26):

yea but it became ubiquitous in indie rock/pop in the mid-late 00s, another big one that got a lot of syncs and was super popular was 'chicago' by sufjan stevens, which doesn't feature legit whoops but it's one of the templates of 'epiphany-core' which is what i call this phenomenon. xylophones and ukuleles.

longing for community (singalong), longing for low-tech 'authenticity' experiences that are nonetheless potentially instagrammable (campfire, washboard type instruments etc.), overlaid on more familiar youth problems like longing for meaning and to have big huge emotional turns, catharses and yes epiphanies. the ineffable but deeply felt desire to feel something big and transformative right as the waves crash onto the rocks and everyone lifts their torches and goes "ohhhhh OH! oh-ooh-ooohh OH!"

or maybe they all just heard the "survivor" theme music in the womb or something idk

man that Shy Rose track is great thanks for sharing

i do love the millennial whoop here

Thing related to the millennial whoop: the "kindergarten taunt" melodic line annoys me no end when it turns up in songs I enjoy until its turning up. This mostly happens in modern r&b i think? Or this may just be where the disappointment is greatest when it occurs.

Nah, a G on its own is alright.

Songs that incorporate the "nan nanny boo boo" melody

Nah it's because they grew up on The Lion King, which is also why we have furries

bullshit we have furries because of Disney Afternoon and, I am going to call this show out specifically, Tail Spin

thought we'd decided it went back at least to Robin Hood

Dougal, we've got to lose that saxophone....

Personally I'm more comfortable blaming Sid and Marty Krofft.

those who forget horribly formed jokes are doomed to repeat them

im pretty sure Zoobilee Zoo is more responsible for furries than anything else

Animalympics fuckin rules, but yah furries love that shit. I think most of them discover it well into furrydom though.

My actual answer to op is whiny Fat Mike/Less Than Jake style pop punk vocals. Why do men sing like that? It's the worst.

A lot of people attribute Disney's Robin Hood as the first time animals made them horny and who can blame em?

Is the Millenial Whoop in any way related to this bit in Barbie Girl?

Barbie Girl represents good infectious pop whereas MW is like dragging goodinfectuouspop.wav onto your timeline

nah the millennial whoop is a baby of Arcade Fire "Wake Up" and Sufjan Stevens "Chicago"

I’m getting really sick of rappers that sound like Future. Any rao that is like, depressive and proceeds in terms of these bursts of short phrases.

I used to love gucci mane specifically bc of this same kinda anhedonia but i really don’t like this sound now.

Young Thug is working in the same idiom but he doesn’t count. That guy is a visionary.

whenever I hear a clarinet in a movie score I fly into a rage.

Awww I like the clarinet

it's really the 'whimsy' trope.
