Honestly I wish a song from Hurry Up Tomorrow would get this kind of attention but I think it's too soon for that. I wonder if In The Night will get a revival given it's similar to Love Me Harder in being a catchy, upbeat pop tune contrasted with dire lyrics.
It started with goofy jokes like "do you live in a pineapple under the sea or nah". Then you had blatant racism like this YouTube parody of Love Me Harder from 2014. It features a white man cosplaying black hair and multiple jokes about how dirty it is. Somehow this was considered comical.
Hell, subs like r/justfuckmyshitup are still making unfunny digs about his old hair to this day. And yesterday I saw multiple comments on a tiktok video talking about finding the Weeknd scary as kids because of his locs. That was actually baffling to me. Not his lyrics, not his scary music videos but his *hair*?
Personally, I've always considered the "pineapple" to be the Weeknd's best and most iconic hairstyle, and while it's completely fine for others to hold different opinions (his afro looks great too), it really is sad how much prejudice seeps into that conversation.
not my favorite song but if my desi parents heard or nah I would be barred from his concert fs
