Detractors of "Bound for the Floor" by Local H will argue this post-grunge tune aka the copacetic song, is both repetitive and derivative.
But I think the repetition is deliberate -- it is an anthem celebrating apathy after all.
The almost robotic and stoic delivery of the chorus creates a hypnotic vibe.
"And you just don't get it. You keep it copacetic. You learn to accept it. You know you're so pathetic."
The intensity builds as the droning vocals become squeals as the guitars crash. Ultimately, it's the sort of tune best enjoyed cranked up.
The single reached #5 on US Billboard in 1996.
Local H? Preparation H?
