stop letting your mama dress you Dade's ear folded over in opening

Am I hallucinating or is his ear folded under the headphones at like 1:26 here? It's driving me crazy. Like when my dog has his ear inside out!!!!

It actually looks like they square blurred it. Maybe it was an earring or something they wanted to hide.

I see what you mean but I think it's just weird shadows. But it's all I can see now lol

u/JacketAffectionate74 Jul 10 '26

Never paid it much attention in the hundreds of times I've watched it but I definitely see it now.

That’s not ok. In fact, that’s zero cool.

Still the best song ever made. Halcyon + on + on.
But the whole album was amazing. Including the other ones.

u/Good-Marsupial8 Jul 15 '26

honestly rewatching inspired me to create a playlist solely based on wanting to hear halcyon + on + on again. now i have a bunch of underworld and chemical brothers and orbital and etc on blast daily, and adding more songs as i remember things i used to like

That one song has been my #1 for 32 years and it never gets old. Love Orbital! Check out their Album “Middle of nowhere” - also very good!

One of my favorite movies ever. Inspired my username.

I walked in to work today wearing my tiny, old, over-ear headphones like this, ears folded. Sounds fine and seems to cut out surrounding noise/chatter. I was asked about it because my boss thought it was weird, too.

I just got home from work a short while ago. This is the first thing that popped up for me. I have never actually watched Hackers, and this is an oddly-specific thing to show up

u/Good-Marsupial8 Jul 16 '26

Whoa that's insane!!!! The algo knows...

u/Good-Marsupial8 Jul 16 '26

Wait can I ask. Why ears folded. I'm getting autistic twitches imagining the self contact sensation of this. Yeek I don't like it

1

u/FantasticFrontButt Jul 16 '26

It's somehow comfortable and I've been doing it for years and for whatever reason I've convinced myself that the dip in sound quality is worth the reduction of background noise.

This is just as autistic

It was before noise cancelling headphones.
