Redditor MyNameIsRobPaulson noticed that a lot of modern pop and indie songs had one thing in common: they all had an overused “whoa-oo-oh” in their choruses. To prove that this simple lyric took control of modern music, he made this supercut video. As it turns out, there are a lot of them.

This became rather absurd after watching it for two minutes. It’s like when you say a word too many times and it ceases to make any sense. “Whoa-oo-oh” is clearly this generation’s version of the ever-so-common “la la la” and “yeah yeah yeah” of previous eras. I wonder which word will be the next big thing for lyrics in future songs…
