Damn. I know a cultural moment when I see (or hear) one. Listening to energizing EDM songs from Marshmello as an adolescent (let me put y'all on), hearing aggressive Trap beats from Southside (you know this one) as an older teen, and resonating with the words of Polo G as a young adult (this one is gr8); all of these creators have come together with this one, and in a way that really resonates with a younger side of myself.

“gahdamn” is a futuristic, hype Hip hop song fresh from artist Yung Heir. It runs for approximately 2 minutes and 10 seconds and was released 5 days ago (October 11th, 2022). The beat is wonky and spaced out, with a synth that makes you feel like you’re on the Round-Up at the fair with its distortedness.

Days prior to October 11th, 2022, I had heard the phrase “I took the wock to Poland” uttered in an assured, vibrato tone all around me. I was beginning to lose my sanity as I stayed up into the late hours of the night, pondering what such a statement could mean; to me, to my family and friends, to the world at large, the future of humanity. It only took 1 minute and 28 seconds until my life was changed forever.
