I cried when I saw Louis The Child live at Brooklyn Mirage. Here’s why

Louis the Child and Icona Pop had slipped into their punchy radio track, titled “Weekend.”That song cost me my aux-cord privileges during carpool.

But, I didn’t care that I overplayed it. Like much of their dance music, it had all the elements of a saucy teen hit; a cheeky cadence, heavy cuts, and of course, aggressively angsty lyrics.I’m only a little ashamed that I still have to bite my tongue to stop myself from singing it aloud as I write this. “Last night, too turnt/ No water, ripped shirt/ iPhone screen cracked/ Did I pay the bar tab?”I digress… the year was also 2016, and I fell in love with almost anything that rang in my ear.

This song was no exception. My taste in music has hardened since my slightly more melodramatic teenage years — especially with my recent and somewhat unexpected turn towards deeper house and EDM.

Yet, I’ve never lost my soft spot for Louis the Child.Over the last decade, Robby Hauldren and Frederic J. Kennett have taken most of the biggest stages in the country — Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, Coachella — and have maintained their contagious, synthy sound.
