In this article, a Gen Z young lady describes the terrifying encounter she experienced while riding in an Uber. The driver was vibing out to Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl,” which the young lady describes as “the most sinister vibes ever.”
Is it an awful song? Sure. But sinister?
“I do not like the energy this song brought into the car,” she proclaimed.
Now, to be fair, Billy Joel has some songs that evoke negative emotions. “Allentown” is depressing as hell. “Tell Her About It” is vomit-inducing. “The Longest Time” is cringey.
Sinister, though?
Does Billy Joel have a song that could be described as “sinister”? What’s the most sinister song you know, and why is it “Hotel California” by The Eagles?
