The Kids Are NOT Alright

The kids are NOT alright.

YouTube superstar and Minecraft content creator Dream, has really been going through it. Ever since he admitted to cheating during his world-record Minecraft speedrun, the man behind the mask has been facing backlash from fans and foes alike.

And as I mentioned in the last post about Dream, his recent foyer into music, as all big creators eventually do, has been met with mixed reviews.

Dream released a music video for his song, 'Mask' on YouTube last week and while the song already has nearly seven million views, many of the views are from passerby's watching a proverbial car crash.

The song looks like it was produced by CocoMelon, the world's premier wtf kids channel on YouTube, but instead of making a playful animation, Dream instead enlisted CocaineMelon to cook up this hellish fever-dream of a video.

No really, watch it. It's awful and will hurt your ears, but my god is it depraved. Here are some screenshots.

Dream gets a note from his doctor telling him he's NOT normal.

Uhh, I'm not a doctor but, yeah I'd have to agree. Not normal!

Again, I'm not a doctor, and if you get prescribed ADHD medication, I'm not telling you what to do, but holy shit this image is sickening. Is this a joke? Satire? Are all kids today soulless goblins who think their 'normal pills' are turning them into little drug addicts? Maybe. But is Dream, a Minecraft YouTuber with millions of young fans taking advantage of his impressionable audience? Probably.

Regardless, many people started to meme the music video. And that is something we can appreciate. I don't know about you, but when I have kids they won't be allowed online until they're married.
