Interesting – or puzzling – oddity: recent releases on MC Mazzie's YouTube channel have the tag #jypentertainment. And it's the only tag other than #MCMazzie, so it's not as if they've strung up a whole series of tags to catch random pop viewers in their net. Why JYP and not YG or SM or Big Hit? Or one of the varieties of funk, for that matter?
Of the tracks I've checked, "Vai Me Macetar" is tops; also like "Rock Para As Planetárias" and "A Diva do Phonk."
Also, I don't know if there's direct influence, but when I hear that stomp I think of Joan Jett covering Gary Glitter (speaking of clouds), "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)," for instance. Or anyway, that's what I thought when I heard *Taylor Swift's* cheerleader stomp, "Shake It Off" (which, to complicate my thesis, is Max and not Luke). (Also, think the Stones' "Get Off Of My Cloud" has more of a roll than a stomp, but it's obviously relevant.)
In 2015 I saw a couple of ten-year-old's doing paddy-cake hands to "Shake It Off" in an elementary school gymnasium. This helped shape my understanding of the song, and added it to the world of DLOW and Silentó.
Don't really know how Luke and Max worked together, who contributed what, but the phrase "Max Martin's cheerleader-stomp template" should probably be "Dr. Luke's cheerleader stomp template" instead – or at least "the Luke-Max cheerleader-stomp template." Although Max did work on "Tap That" with Luke and Megan, he's not on Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend," which is the Avril-Luke song I'd point to as introducing that particular stomp. And because of the similarity to "Girlfriend," I tend to think the stomp in "Tap That" has Luke's stamp more than Max's, though I don't know. That there's a cloud over Luke now doesn't take him out of the story.
I will admit this was absolutely just a weaselly way to avoid putting Dr. Luke in print that I didn't return to after the first draft, but should probably revert back to at least Max/Luke if not the probably more accurate Luke/Max.
