How is it that we've come so far as a species, created so much incredible art and yet have collectively decided that every single loving song, in order to achieve a modicum of popularity, needs to have a four on the floor beat? There's literally endless possible time signatures and rhythm patterns to choose from and yet humans have decided "nah, I just want something that metronomically and relentlessly goes BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM lest I get distracted and forget when the beats are."

loving christ.

This is a 4/4 time free zone. Have some loving RYTHMS.

Counterpoint: There were some prog hits in the 70s that ventured outside of 4/4. The complete saturation of four on the floor in music is a more recent development.

The song in the op is spazzy bullshit, every time it gets going and I start to enjoy it one of the neckbeards in the band go and add a bunch of notes in that don't belong. I bet dancing to that would look like an epileptical fit.

so, your point is that stagnation and insipid simplicity are good?

edit: after listening to 32 seconds of the music in the op and then jamming a letter opener into my brain, i conced the point to Spanlove. Good game, sir

I'm not surprised that a lot of people don't understand what four on the floor really is and why the op is complaining about a specific beat and not a time signature
