Someone desperately wanted to make a negative headline...

So what? I don't know the artist, her fans probably where there to hear that song, terrorists don't deserve to keep influencing the future happiness of people with their actions...

Yeah, there's no controversy or anything even oniony here.

It's her most famous song. It would be way more surprising if she didn't sing it.

The song is awesome if you like a bit of europop from 2001:

its like they think that all of the people directly traumatized by the incident were there on the dance floor lmao

But think of the click revenue! /s

I don't think it was meant to paint anyone in a negative light. The article is written very neutrally and quotes the artist addressing the irony.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah I did not receive it in a negative way for the artist but in a way that highlights the absurdity of the situation.

Banging song tbh, gotta give it a pass based on that alone.

Prolly her most famous song.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Great boost from the movie at least. Havn't heard it in ages, and then that Saltburn movie drops and the song is fucking everywhere

TBH its always on the radio here in the UK, just not Radio 1 which is a chart station.

But did they kill the groove? Clearly not.

Better burn the goddamn house right down.

She should’ve sung “I Need More Allowance” or even “ Banging on a Trash Can”.

Thank goodness no one has found a place that Electric Six can have a controversy about performing “Nuclear War (On the Dance Floor).”

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I think she'd have gotten away with it had it also been 70 years between the tragedy and the performance, though...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Holy hell those cheekbones.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

At that point they're chic bones

How is this clickbait getting upvoted this much?

I was more worried when I misread it as "Blood on the Dancefloor" (the band) which I thought would be a weird they are performing crunkcore to the mainstream.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

All kinds of bands perform at the Bataclan, last show I've seen there was Lorna Shore, and the previous one was Alcest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, the Bataclan hosts A-list band like Metallica, and also much more confidential ones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Let's just say BOTDF wasn't as well regarded as the bands you mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Next, she'll perform at Re'im
