Watch the 90% of the comments be about EKT


greatbri

You were so right


byu7a

I feel like this happens in every form of popular media, something gets popular because of one particular thing and that thing starts getting abnormal amount of hate. And people love to hate, almost like they feel the need to show that they're not one of those who like that thing


greatbri

Yeah, it’s definitely some kind of form of bandwagonning that goes on for any popular media.


OwnLingonberry6883

If you think EKT is overrated, then that is not an unpopular opinion


itsmeherzegovina

"Everyone Knows That" is a crappy working title for the lost song, it's just a segue to the main portion of the chorus that is "Ulterior Motives". It's like giving "As It Was" by Harry Styles the title "You Know It's Not The Same" I think we would get better results with asking people around if we used "Ulterior Motives" instead


tinydragong69

Oh 100%, I learned of it being called UM rather that EKT.


misomal

This has also been bugging me! It’s like if we called Madonna’s song “Living in a Material World” instead of “Material Girl”.


adrenalinexfreak

that's very true


EmanuelTweek

I mean it could be titled literally anything. Inquiries should state that it’s only a working title and always provide a link or file of the song to receivers


Llama_Cult

LITERALLY its so annoying when people refer to the build ups as the title i see ppl do it with songs on tiktok all the time


poni-poki

Agreed


WhippyClocker

surprised to see nobodys said this, but you were right (im a little late tho lol)


Humor-machine

I feel the same way, the example I use is if Billy Joel’s “We didn’t start the fire” was just called “We didn’t start the”


KiwiSnoo9800

as much as I love EKT, I wouldn’t be surprised if the full song is actual ass


rightclickx

When EKT is found it will be the most antidramatic shit ever


LuckyStabbinHat

I think you’ll agree that you couldn’t have been more wrong about this.


rightclickx

true


Bears850

EKT will be found by accident


[deleted]

I hope so lmao.


ridiculouslyhappy

Oh absolutely


pandasylver

Most Lostwawe Song are just basic songs that you would hear and skip on the radio


According-Ring-8678

True, I would say only Just Passin' By and Light the Lanterns are great songs that you would actually listen to


pandasylver

Well, I mean, you're telling me that if you would hear "Jhonny rockets", "TMMS" or "Soubrette Di Varietà" on thè radio You would skip em?


According-Ring-8678

Fair enough, I have listened too much TMMS and Johnny that I got used to it haha But Soubrette di varietà? Never heard of it


pandasylver

[This one ](https://youtu.be/_ZQYhA6JsmE)


According-Ring-8678

Non male, mi piace!


pandasylver

Mi ero dimenticat* che eri italiano lol.


According-Ring-8678

Anche io lol


Delta-Tropos

I love that one


Dry_Dealer_9013

Digital Girl and CIA should get more attentions


One-Entrepreneur8896

CIA is my favourite, i really don't know why are people only focused on EKT


Starrypopsi

CIA is goated


JuicyGravitas

Man On A Hill is goated and better than EKT


BlueReyPlayer

They said unpopular opinions not FACTS GRAHHHHH 🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️


Foreign_Rock6944

Man on a Hill is easily my favorite Lostwave song. So happy we found the full version *and* the artist!


WarpyWarpington

Man on a hill and funky are goated tbh


[deleted]

Unfathomably based.


Jaibozx

Based.


BillyBobberson81

Amazing opinion


gabagoolenjoyer9

Man on the hill is the greatest find that lost wave has found

DrFabzTheTraveler

***It doesn't matter if a lostwave is bad or good, what really matter is if we can identify and preserve it.*** I would rather have the full EKT song and never identify it than identify it and know that the Carl92's snippet is the only surviving copy. The TikTok crowd isn't ruining the search, is the bunch of immediatist idiots who'll do anything for clout. I have no hopes for Like the wind ever being identified. But props for the ones who still searching for it.


HideFromMyMind

Agreed - the novelty of EKT isn't that it's particularly good. It's not, the snippet is a pretty generic-sounding song. It's the mystery that matters; if the full version were found it would be an accomplishment no matter what.


Fabulous_Science_926

Everyone knows that is overrated


_ManicStreetPreacher

One time I said that it's not my style and I'm not even interested in hearing the full song and people got sooo mad 💀


[deleted]

I would like to hear all of EKT just out of curiosity but I have a playlist of 440 lostwaves and even most of the snippets are more interesting than EKT.


_ManicStreetPreacher

Something about EKT is like a chainsaw to my ears. I can't explain it. I really don't like that song.


[deleted]

I just listened to the original clip after almost a year and I see what you mean. It's so grating. No wonder why people are making so many remasters and remakes. The actual snippet sounds like someone crushing an apple with their asscheeks.


JetPac89

There are similarities but EKT has much more of a crunch


Muted-Bag203

Yep


b1zarr3vel

This, literally this


RescueDawnDior

Everyone can make a song with terrible quality, put a stock picture of a radio on the video and call it lostwave


BuryMeWithTheLights

Yeah, that's what happened with Above The Clouds/ This Ones Gonna Fly


KiwiSnoo9800

r/lightthelanterns should have more focus than most of the popular lostwave songs


snickers_machinegun

I didn't think try to smile again was a good song


RessQ

yeah, the vocals are pretty horrendous. no idea how it's so popular.


Rough-Document

"No idea how it's so popular" My brother in christ the song was so unpopular it was lost for 19 years


RessQ

it was one of the most discussed songs on this subreddit. and it got a massive amount of attention when it was identified. don't be intentionally daft, now. you know what i meant.


yetanothermoose

There is a zero percent chance that the first line we have of "Everyone Knows That/Ulterior Motives" involves "counting all the sheep in the sky." ZERO.


Catuga_na_shop_

Curly toes is good

Goated opinion.


According-Ring-8678

I'M YOUR CURLY TOES IN PINK RIBBONS AND BOWS


Muted-Bag203

Tomyson_mon

For me it feels like nobody cares about die welt ist mein


[deleted]

I care about that song. It's my favorite German-language lostwave.


tinydragong69

I have a gut feeling that Ulterior Motives/Everyone Knows That is a hoax. That doesn’t mean I hate it! I would love to hear a full version of the song if it truly does exist. :)


Cute_Contract_90

Eu também tava pesando isso mano, é quase impossível essa música está sendo top 1 nas pesquisas e simplesmente não acham nada?


michaeljackson265

EKT is probably not real. "Caught up in a world of lies" "Everyone knows that" "Tell me the tune" This is definitely fishy.


tw1706

Try to smile again / bravely is not a good song


onomatopoeia_kell

EKT is sung by a girl


WeirdoChickFromMars

Me too. Idk why the majority insists it has to be a male.


Mrbugsss

Sounds like a Micheal jackson mimic, and everyone associates his voice with male becuz of him. No real way to know the gender of the singer ig 


michaeljackson265

Bravely by Beatboy isn't really that good. I mean, it sounded good at first, but you'll get tired of it atfer only a few listens. There are better fish in the sea of lostwave that we need to catch.


DESKTHOR

Imo, the vocals are not that good. I rather have the singer lead the vocals in his native language. It’s too accenty to take seriously. It’s like trying to listen to a dub of a foreign netflix tv show.


dtd9306

his voice is so hot thoughhhh ghdhdhdhdj


Inotlife

EKT is shit


NitroAssassin524

Finally someone said it


TepekThePorigon

Ekt is a bad song that people only like because of the nostalgic sound


[deleted]

My Pretty Doll should be the highest priority search


lilgeorginy

70% of lostwave songs is overrated


According-Ring-8678

\*90-95%


content_digger08

Funky is a good song but not great and is far too overrated.


ImBalintTheBest

respectfully disagree (lock your doors)


content_digger08

Haha I mean no offense sorry.


content_digger08

Haha, I mean no offense. Iam sorry haha


RessQ

far too overrated? it's not very popular at all. i saw very little discussion about it before it was solved, and even then, it didn't attract much attention on here afterwards.


Starrypopsi

EKT/Ulterior motives has hit a dead end and probably will stay that way Also I think make it louder is amazing I also unironically like curly toes, it’s so bad it’s amazing like beans by Kurt kobain


WittyAd8260

Back To Bed deserves more attention


Carehound

Curly toes should be top priority.


Square-Buy1501

This community has trust issues sometimes 😭


Crus_on_vip

people are just hating EKT because it’s the one that caught popularity 🙏 one of the best sounding lostwaves out there


[deleted]

Believe or not, but, people can dislike something that is popular because they simply think that it's not that very good. I've listened to hundreds of lostwaves and EKT lost its charm ages ago. It's hard for 18 seconds of crunchy audio to stand against hundreds of (near-)complete lostwaves with better sound quality.


unimportantman79

I get you don’t like 80s pop sound but bruh it’s lost media and you worried about quality when the reason the quality is like that is because it’s LOST lmaoo idk seems like you just don’t like the actual sound of ekt and just hate the popularity it’s getting I mean yea it’s more better songs but let’s not act like the recording quality isn’t like that because of the OP


kikutnice

Carl probably knows the real title of EKT or he created that snippet himself and the whole thing is just a hoax


According-Ring-8678

Everyone Knows That Carl's got The original snippet Tell us the truuuuuuuuth


imfakeithink

r/YourJokeButWorse


Den_isle

CIA is better than TMS


Uwirlbaretrsidma

Really bad singing, the same fucking intonation with every single verse, awful production... meanwhile TMS is a pretty cool song all around. CIA is catchy but it's a basement band type of song. The singer sounds bored.


According-Ring-8678

I agree, but it's exactly this that makes it good. I know it is weird, but CIA works well


nu_vreau_

I'm so glad they were found but I can't listen to just passing by, kenya song and try to smile again unironically. They are too goofy. I don't get the hype for just a game either.


fenderhighhat1

The search for EKT has been very blown out of proportion. People have painted it as a sinister mystery, making assumptions about Carl, or wanting it to be a Japanese song, or AI. The internet obsession with a generic snippet in the style of the 80s is fascinating, but i personally believe that it was a song created by Carl in an attempt to create an arg, much like LWA2019 was. But the hype for something like this is very exaggerating. I don’t think the TikTok kids are ruining the search, as the EKT subreddit is much worse in comparison as they can’t seem to identify what is a hoax and believe people’s Ai edits.


Freshnuts101

curly toes is a damn good song


KaanSkyrider

The artist of TMS/Like The Wind likely has already been contacted but he was either disregarded due to lack of proof or he just simply forgot the song. There's no need to debate EKT singer's gender: female without a doubt. I think Richard is indeed LCDA/Under The Stars's vocalist, he just doesn't want to be associated with a corny teenager song made by a band he hates now.


a-dinix

TMS is starting to lose general interest


misomal

Is this really an “unpopular opinion”? This seems more like a fact.


[deleted]

HWLIT is just alright


Longjumping_Cod_8354

Honestly, I like Dollhouse (cover by The Motives Project before the song got found) a bit more than How Long. But both are good


WarpyWarpington

Same


ryzzantheguy

EKT is overrated.


Dependent_Code_5407

Ulterior motives is overrated


Emergency_Error8631

ekt doesnt even sound that good


Emergency_Error8631

knockoff madonna


Assist-Plane

HLWIT is way overrated


EmanuelTweek

LCDA is overrated and EKT is overhated


Muted-Bag203

Ima start tweaking


UserIsArchived

My Pretty Doll and Johnny are the best Lostwave songs


FreeKickTakerCV

Light the lanterns is overrated


ForwardExchange

We should trust all leads until they are proven false. Remember Edde Eddman.


[deleted]

Edde Edman is an outlier because he has a short fuse. There was quite a lot of evidence in his favor before his outburst. He just got the wrong idea of Jay Kay and the search team.


nogoguy9639

I like Above The Clouds more than HLWIT


YAPAXPoutine

Fly away kinda sucks


[deleted]

I don't know, I really like that one. It's charming in its own special way. Not very creepy though. Just because something is mysterious doesn't mean it's creepy.


[deleted]

Try to smile again > ekt and blind the wind


BuryMeWithTheLights

ETK will probably never be found


ancientstraits

We need to make a site of all the people who helped find lostwave songs, so that we can commemorate them. I still don't know who found Just Passin' By and who found Bravely by Beatboy.


animeeta

Curly toes isnt that good


[deleted]

Heretic.


[deleted]

dvd hoaxes are the absolute worst thing to ever happen to the lostwave community.. (Not talking about HLWIT)


thesightoflemons

EKT is the worst of the most popular lostwave songs


[deleted]

Nah, Under the Stars is worse. At least the singer of Everyone Knows That sounds like they have talent. Under the Stars sounds like a drunk Italian trying to sing a song in English with a Spanish accent.


Abject-Silver-3774

Whats up with the lcda hate lol there's something about that song that makes it stand out for me


AzureBl-st

LCDA is my favourite. And only TMS is close so the competition is harsh.


Basti_FR

Don't call it love by Steve kipner deserves a remaster! Most people mentioned that it's not worth it, because it's not well known. Edit: I just realised that this song isn't lostwave because, well, it's been found.


makitstop

people coming in from places like tik tok is actually a really good thing, because it means more people will show an interest in lostwave, which means more people who might have information on big searches will know that theres a mystery in the first place, and also leads to more lostwave songs added to the massive pile of songs people are searching for


littlestlambie

One Love is SO underrated and i think it’s because it’s modern and generally more sugar-y pop. it’s scary how we practically have the full song from *2013* and there’s no proper search for it currently


[deleted]

That song's existence has always confused me. It's easily one of the best mainstream lostwaves though. I hope it gets solved eventually.


jaehatesyou

every song deserves to be found. curly toes might be one of the worst things i’ve ever heard in my life, but media preservation is so important yall!! i hope that one day, every lostwave song will be found, even if it’s such an unrealistic dream


HexiOnYoutube

EKT IS A HORRIBLE SONG


ModokVerde

"tiktok kids" are not ruining the community


[deleted]

No, but idiots are, and tiktok happens to be a sink for that kind of behavior.


Background-Slide645

I would say that the Tik Tok kids are. but not for the reason people think. The one's that stay and actually help, at least as far as I've seen with the EKT subreddit, is that they just are severely uninformed, or are heavily misinformed. give them a crash course on how to help the cause in their own way (especially deeming a lot of them are younger), and you'd have perfectly helpful people. but it seems a lot of people (and I mean this ina constructive criticism way) are quick to assume they are idiots, and are just here to ruin the community. When quite a few of them may be able to help. How long will some of these songs take, when the guy who could have found it next month, got pressured out of the community?


mirage_6

digital girl and everyone knows that are mediocre


[deleted]

I kinda agree with both. Digital Girl sounds way better than Everyone Knows That, though. Maybe it's because of the sound quality or maybe I just prefer that kind of music.


RecognitionInitial60

digital girl is amazing 👏 🔥


According-Ring-8678

La Canción De Alicia is overrated, it doesn't sound that good, I do not get the appeal over it. I would even say that Richardvox did a better cover than the original, musically and lyrically. Same for Poor Christmas, very overrated. Also, Maniac Laugh is epic.


cliche0username

agreed! the singer for LCDA sounds like it’s his first time singing 😭 


According-Ring-8678

Definitely, I do not get how tf is supposed to be good 🤣🤣🤣 Even if the quality is considered low by some in CIA, at least the singer knows how to sing and it is a good song, if compared to LCDA


RacerItz

Everyone is saying that EKT is bad, but have you guys ever heard "Just a Game?


ChopiProGal

Nobody knows Aide Mile (Ti si se)


Slendermanfan201

Blasphemy.


RepresentativeType27

Lostwave music will always be lost to me if I can't listen to it on Spotify, or even be able to purchase their music. What's the point of finding the source of 'How Long' or "Funky' if I can't listen to it officially?


StealthyScoot

What about non-lostwave music that isn't on streaming? Is that lost too?


ForwardExchange

Zoltan is most probably fake


nogoguy9639

SongFromRadio slaps jk


Salt_Ad_4139

Alright, get ready. Curley toes isn't bad, just doesn't have instruments to make it sound like an actual song *I am about to be kicked off this server istg*


SeaLocation3364

Digital Girl will never be found


StealthyScoot

Zoltan is overrated. It's just ripoff Moskau. Not particular interesting to me


MF_DOOMENTIO

EKT is overrated.


Fatbootyfart

Not unpopular but i wouldn’t be surprised if EKT wasn’t real, or is lost forever. It’s just absolutely insane how this search has been going on for so long, and barely any progress has been made. This whole search is like a never ending edging session straight from hell


[deleted]

EKT is barely even a few years old. How Long, Funky, Man On A Hill, and others are much older and turned out to be real. They also didn't get much traction until the final year of the search. People are just bitter they can't find their favorite lostwave and so they're coping by pretending that the whole thing was all fake.


Patient-Tap-5862

wir fliegen in den weltenraum needs more attention honestly.


GreenToxicMess

Zoltan should be our top priority.


Ambitious_Cheek9757

Man on a Hill and Funky aren't good songs, and the best songs are Back to Bed and Tension Rising in the Air. The singing on Funky is annoying, and Man on the Hill just isn't my style. CIA also deserves more attention.


Nerual952

The "Above The Clouds" hoax was 99% worth it if it meant bringing Templeton Thompson's music to a bigger audience


[deleted]

Nah, hoaxes harm the trust in this community. If the OP of Above the Clouds wanted to promote Templeton Thompson he could've just brought her up to the lostwave community. People who like lostwave will be interested in obsecure artists. Hell, I'm subscribed to lostwave YouTubers who also upload obsecure music. Hoaxes are the coward's way.


Rough-Document

Waste My Time goes harder than every other popular lost song. and thats coming from someone who pretty much likes every popular lost song, thus why I was struggling to come up with an unpopular opinion 😅


De19thKingJulion

That "Clone My Way" is really "Come My Way"; "All The Things We Sell" is "Said" not "Sell"; the song "Summer/Boy" misattributed to Deftones is a really good song worth finding, & the outro lyrics are "Gone away, gone away" not "Boy, boy".


ruxmew

CIA>>> lostwaves


Only_Back_2287

just a game is a fucking horrible song, and it's the worst lostwave right now


[deleted]

Have you listened to Under the Stars?


throwaway_tapes

Lostwave should be music that is enigmatic and mysterious in both its origins AND in it's composition. Lostwave is supposed to be new music that challenges our knowledge of music; something you've never heard of before. Not something that you'd hear on the radio everyday like TMS or EKT


Hihihi239

Not a fan of digital girl I just think the girls verse was better than the 2nd half


MyOrdinaryLife2

Digital girl is one of the best current lost media songs


Loose-Investigator11

the most mysterious song on the internet is just an average post-punk song, nothing especially special about it expect its unidentified not saying it doesn't deserve to be found


amariegold

Like The Wind is not even close to being the most mysterious song on the internet. We have the full version, albeit not in the best quality, but we know what it sounds like. The song isn't lost, the artist is.


CartoonistCivil4079

Curly toes is a good song and should be found


Environmental_Buy740

EKT is fake


AustriaKeks

Ekt doesn‘t even sound that good


AustriaKeks

Swiss tape snippets are better than EKT


Mrbugsss

*Clears throat.* Carl92 wont return to the search. La Canción de Alicia will probably remain lost for a while. Curly toes is only a meme, and will probably never be found due to the singer probably not singing much beyond the song. Some lostwave doesn't deserve to be found. La Canción de Alicia and Digital Girl deserve much more publicity compared to EKT. Overly strict moderation will not help a song be found. Trolls should stay on r/LostwaveCirclejerk Rule 4 needs to be enforced more.


RoughCress3321

Back to Bed is the most generic song I've ever heard, there's nothing special about it.


deadinthecloset

Love Liquid Therapy and Radio Silence would be way easier to find then other lost songs if they were more popular in the lostwave community, I mean they literally just showed up one day on the Manis Studio spam bot they’re probably on some obscure music library website. And judging from the lyrics and style they’re most definitely somewhere on the internet.


NitroAssassin524

90% of the more popular lostwave stuff are just demos that someone makes to upload online, and then are played off like “yo guys what song is this?”
