I actually know an influencer personally, not that big but still pretty big and her online persona is NOTHING like who she is in real life. Like a few years ago, for example, she said she only used essential oils to heal everything (she was in a pyramid scheme) However she never included the fact she was on medication, her husband used antibiotics, etc. She is still like this just with like farming things and a crunchy lifestyle despite her not actually living up to the crunchy life she promotes online. For example she said she only eats organic kinds of this or homegrown. She eats fast food, red dye 40, and almsot anything you can think of that isn't organic.

Sorry; But am I the only one who can hear the little chuckles from the audience at times? Like at 0:59 for example? It feels so sureal; And how they suddenly stop when he said "I must bep psychotic; I must be demented" It really feels that he's singing this for only himself, as the audiance sees it more like a show.

People have been saying that bo has totally evolved into the version of him we see in inside and he’s a totally different person, but he’s always been introspective like this. He’s always been contemplating his role as an entertainer, and that’s recurring through all of his specials.

Seeing Bo perform this after knowing that he got panic attacks before and after many of his shows is heart breaking.

After doing so, he grew as a person and saw what he did was overall a bad idea sometimes, and im honestly proud to know that people can change and Bo Burnham is one of those people. He deserves the fame he got and it shows, good job Bo

When he says "Cause I wanted my name in lights" you can feel and hear the pain and guilt in his voice, it always shakes me

you can really feel the emotion and anger that he puts into every single word. This isn't for a joke or a bit, this is how he actually felt about himself.

hes planning something shh

the amount of anger behind those eyes; rage, regret, hatred, all of it. it’s like he can see it all in front of him, and now he knows things that no one else will be able to comprehend. he’s trying to describe it, but he’s frustrated because 1.) people don’t understand it and 2.) he can’t do anything to get it out of his mind. he’s drowning in his self-hatred, and he has to live with it.

Listen to his tone of voice and look at his facial expressions. He is not kidding at all and his self doubt must be just about crippling. Between the disgust when he sang about things like his name in lights and the almost pleading tone he takes on when confessing "I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, kid, and maybe I'll grow out of it" you can really hear that this probably does help him sleep at night. This is written and performed in such a way that conveys that feeling beautifully. So maybe art isn’t dead.

The idea is the Bauman's view of postmodernism, where all possible creations in the world are already over, and now only thing that an artist can do is consume other art and change it, as there is little to no way now to create something new. The song only proves it, as it means that all art is created with an intent of gaining money, and not of actually creating a meaningful piece / painting etc. Art is dead. That's what Bo, post modernist heavily inspired by mr George Carlin, another post-modernist, thinks. And this song only further proves it. Your agument doesn't hold though; have you seen the last subtitle? CD Available. It just further proves the point.

Someone didn’t catch onto something that an artist has been open about trying his best to bury it deep down in the past but you did, so you feel the need to insult them? Do you feel more intelligent now that you’ve seemingly proved yourself more intelligent and capable than at least one other person over the internet? Are *you* fucking slow? Like socially? Or just a dick head? Grow up.

this song is so old yet if you actually listen to the lyrics it has such a truthful meaning, and honestly - one of the most insightful and emotional songs literally ever made, its so true and im so impressed a person could actually put the world summed up into a 2 minute song. bo is actually so talented

When my brother got out of the mental hospital ( mental hell) he played this for me, now that i am old enough to understand i wish i was there for him more.

the most chilling part about listening to this song live is that at the very beginning he says “this song isn’t funny at all.” and he means it. but the audience doesn’t know that. they think it’s part of the show. and you can even hear parts of the song where the audience is trying to find the humor in this song; they are trying to giggle along. but as the song keeps on going, you can feel the mood shift in the audience. this isn’t for their entertainment. this song isn’t part of the show. it’s a harsh reality. it’s not for them, it’s for bo. and that’s what i find so powerful about this song played live compared to any cover or studio version. jesus i love bo burnham.

It's true and untrue at the same time. As an artist you recognize that the art world is superfluous with many people going to art for the sake of validating their uniqueness, and that you are part of that vain, honest or not. It is a real struggle, but at the same time we have to notice that we could 'have fed a family of four for forty fucking fortnights', surely nobody is so selfish to deprive their closest for the sake of their own made up goal. But we are, and most of the art world just seeks attention and their art is shallow and vain. And that's the dead part

Me too.. as a Kid who'd loved to draw all day, I never felt Narcissistic about my Desire to draw, I wanted to honor my uncle for Inspiring me to Draw comics. Though I'll admit, I had self doubts and self pity about my Feelings towards being an artist. I had a really hard time coming to terms with that with myself, because I wasnt really sure if I wanted to go do it or not. I know it's not always bout you or me, and I've always wanted to do things for the art instead of just for myself, which is very rare to see that in this generation. Humility, kindness and Respect is Hard to look for in a person or even earn it in this day and age and culture. My point is is that, Sometimes it's Really hard to Accept The fact that the Entertainment industry in America will Never respect the Wonderful aspects of art because they abuse it by Ripping off properties from other Peoples work. And even the Actors in entertainment can't stop making it about them because it's their JOB to Make it ALL ABOUT them. I dont think I could ever Do something like that, especially If was older back then or had the means and opportunity to do so. I never wanted to be famous and I never will. It's a curse and alot of Pressure to have the Whole world watching you.. it's sad really and I see why alot of actors, actresses and Movie stars in general go Crazy because They simply dont know who they are. They're told from Day 1 in the industry that they Must Be the character that they play and Not Be Themselves...

Calling something art, when its not an expression of one's self; but rather an algorithm for profitable media. (I.e. "repeat stuff") I don't think any true artist needs forgiveness. What they do is beautiful, whether it be performance, music, sculpting, culinary, or even a tailor. There are so many versions of art, and a true artist should never apologize for offering themself to the world!

Pretty sure he's trying to say that he doesn't want people to respect him for his standup stuff. Not that you shouldn't respect him as a person.

I've been up all night coding and sleeping during the day while my mom works at the town drug store! I told her she doesn't even have to work, but its the interaction and opportunity to help people which is why she is there.

Bo is one of those comeddians carlin would totaly respect

I thought so too

"So people think you're funny, how do we get those people's money?" That line always hits the hardest for me. The second anyone discovers they have they have talent in a creative outlet, immediately everyone around them is like "cool....how do we monetise this?" But it's a double-edged sword. The pursuit of money in a creative field often kills the creativity aspect that made it fun in the first place...or being unable to earn money doing the thing you love means you don't get much time doing the thing you love because you need a "real job" to survive.

The problem with turning your hobby into your job is that you then don't have a hobby anymore...

I always say make enough money in your "real job" to do as you please in your spare time. Life is work. You could be working for food instead of money like many of our predecessors. Never go full Marx

@@loganc339 "Make enough in your real job" I work 40-60 hours a week on minimum wage and just barely cover my bills. I don't get to choose how much I earn. By the time I get home, I'm too exhausted to enjoy my hobbies most days. Life should be more than just working until you drop dead. Everyone deserves to be able to have fun regardless of how much money they make.

@@jdprettynails it's the fault of the system that you make minimum wage right? Maybe it's my fault? Accept responsibility for your predicament. The system didn't do that to you. One way or another you are the reason you work so much for so little. Unless someone maliciously turned your life into something you dont like, in which case blame them, not the system. I agree with you. Life should be more than work, but assuming the role of a victim of capitalism is a nasty game.

I always start crying when the camera goes close to him when he says "because I wanted my name in lights" because you can just see the guilt and disgust in his face :(

He breaks my heart in every show he performs. Every single one. Can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song especially let alone this man. Found him while listening to Pandora about 15 years ago. Barely out of his bedroom video years. And I knew he was insanely good then. I'm so glad everyone knows it now and he didn't slip through. Even though that may bother him at times....he deserves it. And his music helps me. I hope one day he does a serious album. Just so I can really self depreciate. Lol

Inside is serious shit

this is sad.. i only relate to the makeup part lol. trying to understand him and put myself in his shoes.. i don’t understand why he feels so guilty when he put in the work to be where he is for YEARS. i remember when he announced mad long ago that he felt bad for being famous then disappeared for years 💀 can’t stop listening to this song tho, it’s brilliant

There is a moment at 0:14 where Bo takes a deep breath and looks off to stage right and I always felt that he knew at that moment that putting Art is Dead on a national comedy special was a big gamble and was nervous as hell to do something so non-traditional in comedy. Even though it's been done by other comedians/actors in history, pulling the curtain back is always scary as hell and I always appreciated that deep breath because it's a very human moment.

It really is.. it's scary to not know if the public can accept the truth.. one's own truth.. or will they turn their backs on it because it's too much for them to handle and to continue being ignorant and in denial for the rest of their lives.. Thank you for this insight, my friend
