Gen Zer freaks out over Billy Joel hit — calling out the piano man for ‘sinister vibes’

nypost.com:

universally beloved Billy Joel hit — bizarrely calling the chart-topper she heard for the first time in an Uber “sinister.”In her initial post, Gen Zer @plumjae said she and three others were left in “dead silence” after hearing the tune on the car ride.

No, it wasn’t Joel’s spookier song “The Stranger” or the downright depressing Vietnam War epic “Goodnight Saigon” — but the spunky “Uptown Girl.” The apparently troubling tune’s lyrics revolve around a blue-collar man working up the courage to woo a high society gal.At first, despite feeling “the most sinister vibes ever,” the Gen Zer didn’t remember the song’s name until later posting its music video, which showed Long Island’s pride and joy donned up as a musical mechanic. “I do not like the energy this song brought into the car,” she added.The user even added that she feared the “Uber was just gonna drive us off the road.”The social media big shot’s January 4 post quickly went viral for the longest time with 30 million views.

However, she was met with a stormfront of backlash as folks online weren’t afraid to tell her about it.“Sorry to inform you there is not ONE Billy Joel song with ‘sinister vibes,'” one replied.“I’ve now listened to this song 30 times in the last day bc of this tweet.

I hope it’s grown on you since you first heard it [because] man, what a classic bop,” another added.“Well, I’m glad you’re ok.
