[justinkeith]

the ad he made at the end of this seems so ironic in contrast to this song. no shade, go get ur money but it’s just funny.

[DiegoPGN]

Demon Days was the first album that I really paid attention to, this is truly a masterpiece

[interestingXmonster]

conclusion: watch out for consumerism..."And that's why I really love these here headphones"

[notoriouswhitemoth]

The way they sing "feel good" makes it feel like a demand, an order, a _threat_

[djblaklite]

Fun fact: The dude behind Gorillaz had about 10 or so minutes to write that chorus before recording it. You can see all about it in the documentary BANANAZ

[spliffin.stryker]

i cant believe when people say this song is too played out...this song is timeless, it never gets old. theres something about it that just sounds so particularly amazing and unique and the meaning behind it only adds to that.

[DrumWild]

And then this song was used to sell iPods.

[iainfordham]

“We need to be cognizant of predatory consumerism”~ immediately followed by a plug for some wireless earphones...hm

[MedlifeCrisis]

Been looking forward to this one! Had no idea it was a digital Jerusalem. There is so much to this I didn't realise. I need to listen to the rest of Gorillaz' back catalogue with a keener ear

[Kangbrooke]

The entire Demon Days album has a dystopian aesthetic. It’s what’s so brilliant about the album, the songs coupled with the titles make it purposefully dystopian. A brilliant effort. The last 3 songs exemplify that, Feel Good Inc. was the perfect single.

[BTsNemesis]

If you look into the description you might see that the song is licensed by Sony Music. One of the industry's biggest names. So even though a very well thought message is behind all this, Gorillaz weren't finally able to free themselves from the 'Feel Good Inc.'

[PainCausingSamurai]

The sad thing is that whenever a new form of self expression starts to resonate with an audience, it is quickly adopted, proliferated, consumed, and reproduced until it is fully incorporated into the cultural whole. Every new innovative escape eventually just makes the industry greater.

[calum]

Ad starts:


, ,You were supposed to destroy the sith, not join them!"

[ryanstoerger]

I would love a billy joel video about how he used other musicians styles in his own work

[chandlerkelley]

When I was younger I awkward thought he was saying “Santa’s breaking down on a camels back”

[MinhNguyenminhja]

The song's title "Feel Good Inc." is representative of how the song is named "Feel Good Inc."

[bmoney]

Demon Dayz and Plastic Beach are two of the greatest albums in the modern time.

[Jivanmuktaintraining]

Damon Albarn deserves to be mentioned here. He's the genius behind Gorillaz (also, Blur and The Good, The Bad and The Queen).

[computeriphone]

I actually remember hearing some of this stuff on MTV back when they played music

[HoodoHoodlumsRevenge]

What a beautiful analysis. I loved it!
