Oh, okay, interesting.

1:29.5

That's my take on it. But I was listening to Tyler's new album, which is all about, like, you know, go dance. He's trying to get people to dance. And it really feels like he's one of the first to really put this whole idea of bringing back dance culture into the mainstream. Yeah.
