Almost all of these Jock Jams being played are damn near 30 years old! America is in a crisis of Jock Jams productions, and we need to bring Jams production home to America and revitalize the Jock Jams industry with fresh ideas and vibrant new jams for our arenas and our gymnasiums.
This country's creaky, aging Jock Jams infrastructure leaves us in critical danger of a collapse in fist-pumping and we're on the cusp of t-shirt cannons being blasted at crowds to a soundtrack of dead silence. We need to teach every high schooler how to create their own jock jams on demand, and revitalize our supply chain.
@anildash we foolishly squandered our strategic reserve of “Whoo** There It Is” in the 90s. There was no need for two variants and now we are Whoo**less in our time of need. Let this be a lesson to future generations
@uncle6 @anildash I had forgotten about the warring factions of Whoot and Whomp of the 90s. Or the fact that the bridge of another Jock Jam staple is the moral of the Little Engine That Could. 😂
@anildash kids these days need to learn to Pump Up The Jam
@anildash what about Freedom Rock?

@anildash they are functionally the same Jock Jams as when my college student was starting out in t-ball.

There’s a Jock Jams gap!

@anildash once again society is offloading their problems on the public education system. Will this Jock Jams education mandate come with accompanying state or federal funding? Or are we just going to cut core subject instruction further to meet our Strategic Jock Jams Quota?
@adam @anildash the solution is Jock Jams Means Testing
@jimdoppke @anildash No Child Without Jams, a federal testing initiative that provides metrics on Beats-Per-Student as a metric for whether schools are successful.
@adam @anildash why are our Jams flowing solely to communities that the data show are already sufficiently Pumped? In this paper, I will argue that far more communities across the country are Ready For This
@anildash this is what KLF's Manual is for
@natgaertner Oh I have thought about this a lot
@anildash We all, in retrospect, were not ready for this.
@anildash The irony is, this is pretty much the literal origin story of Soulja Boy Tell 'Em
@anildash Ah, Jock Jams. Now that’s what I call music!
@anildash I believe firmly that our Jock Jams infrastructure may get knocked down, but will get up again.
@anildash y’all ready for this?
@ffg @anildash my fellow Americans, we are not ready for this
@anildash I am not saying you are wrong but I am going to need reasonable expectations that America can ever match the pure jock jam output of South Korea?
@anildash Mr. President, we cannot allow a Jock Jams gap!
@anildash Did “Party Rock Anthem” make it to Jock Jam status? Seems like it should have.
@perovskite It's the last addition to the canon.
@anildash While it still seems like a 'new' song to my old ass, its from 2011, so that really does drive home your point when the last one is 12 years old.
@anildash jock jams? bring back intelligent hip hop.
@anildash and I feel nothing at all, woohoo!
@anildash Sooner or later, the Vengabus comes for us all.
@dansays @anildash Never send to know for whom the Vengabus parties; it parties for thee.
@dansays @anildash Ah, *that's* why everyone is jumping.
@dansays @anildash *voiceover over footage of an abandoned street* the wheels of steel are turning. Traffic lights are burning. Happiness is just around the corner.
@anildash 30 years old? They no longer have any claim to democratic legitimacy.
@anildash Maybe Gary Glitter can come up with something new. Does his prison have a music program?
@anildash Any good jock jam has to be old, because it needs to be widely known in the culture. That’s why “Heavy Action” and “Rock and Roll Parts 1 and 2” are used so often. Everyone knows them. I’m sure there are great rap jams, but I don’t know them because I’m an old fart that doesn’t listen to rap.
