Infinity Song, the band behind this catchy tune, are siblings Abraham, Angel, Israel, and Momo Boyd. The soft rock band from New York City has been working on making a name for themselves for years now. And it seems to be working: the talented bunch has been doing the rounds. They sang the national anthem at the New York Knicks stadium before the game and performed at Carnegie Hall with Jon Batiste. Now, their fun new song is making them TikTok famous.

“The inspiration behind writing Hater's Anthem came from reflecting on the internal dissatisfaction with self that stems from constant inaction and destructive daily habits, while also having an extremely grandiose sense of self that never seems to materialize into reality,” said the band when talking to Bored Panda. “It was written to shine a light on the way these things can greatly impact the quality of your life and how you might begin to view your relationships with those around you or even those on the internet.”

He's not wrong. We were also mass murderers and brought many diseases. I sometimes really wonder what the world would be like if we hadn't sailed all around the world.

The siblings are a powerful unit that have been working together for years. They say that over time, they’ve learned to navigate personal and professional relationships and there’s no hate between them. “Overall, we feel as though being a family definitely gives us an advantage in the way that we approach music and life.”

When it comes to the song itself, the writer Momo Boyd claims that the motivation to create it came from experiencing the conflicting emotions discussed in the song. Coping with these confusing feelings can be hard, so that’s why she added the fun comedic element to it. “I’ve always been the one who is unafraid to laugh at myself and the contradictions of not only my behaviors but human behavior in general.”

Did the band expect the song would become such a hit online? Yes and no. “During the process of recording the song, we anticipated a response because of the satirical and comedic nature of the song, but a lot of this is still a surprise for us. You never can quite predict how the internet will react.”

They do find it funny how the internet chose to relate to the song. “It was created from a similar place of ego and humor, so it’s natural for people to resonate with it in this way. It’s all very human, it’s just about holding that mirror to yourself in the end and trying to grow past it.”

Not gonna argue the alleged provenance, but I do feel like love language is a thing. We all have things that are meaningful to us in relationships and should know what makes our s.o. happy.

The band is also very grateful for the conversation it has started online about hate and hating. For example, hating on celebrities. We’ve often never met them, we don’t know what kind of people they are in their everyday lives, but we often do have an opinion. According to experts, it’s kind of natural and inevitable.

Celebrities are more like symbols for us, figures that represent their values by how they act and talk. In a way, it’s hard to see them as people, as they are so far removed from us. So, we see their interviews and how they carry themselves, and we get an impression of what type of person they might be. And then we judge whether they are the type of person we like or not.

He’s 50, these things occurred in his 20s. Many young people in their 20s mages very poor decisions

Let's find out what he thinks now that there's evidence? Everyone makes off based opinions and I can totally see, from the immediate standpoint, why Snoop could possibly think that someone was trying to sink a well-off black man....cuz it happens all the time and crushing the black community is part of how America got its backbone. God forbid a black man be immediately defensive of other black men! This white girl here was shocked and in disbelief too when Cosby was in court, I'd been duped by his "wholesome" career.....I must be worth hating as well despite my opinion changing.

I just don't think an ethical billionaire is a thing. It's an oxymoron.

According to Kaston Anderson-Carpenter, assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State University, we tend to like the celebrities that are more like us than not. That is why relatable celebrities that confess to having cozy nights in, scrolling on their phones, and eating pizza all the time are so likeable. It’s also why the ones that seem too proud or flaunt their wealth too much can be off-putting.

Well, that one is a judgment call isn't it. Maybe she's just not a good judge?

However, like with many other things, it’s important to do your research before jumping on the hate bandwagon. As in, how can we be really sure that Brad Pitt is not talking to his children? According to reports, he still keeps in touch with his minor kids and he does have visitation rights. And while Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively did get married on a plantation back in 2012, they have apologized profusely for what Reynolds called their “giant [freaking] mistake.”

Taylor Swift did not 'literally' produce 8,293 tons of CO2 emissions. That would have been the engines of the transport she used. Please, people, stop using 'literally' in this way, it completely negates the argument you are trying to make.

Also: Wifebeater; treated his first son atrociously (the stuff he publicly said about his conception gives you a taster); and famously said “He’s a WASP Jew man. That’s the worst kind of Jew there is.”

In any case, Infinity Song is releasing the full version of “Hater’s Anthem” on August 25th, so keep an eye out for that. Better yet, give them a follow on TikTok or Instagram so you don’t miss this and other upcoming gems. “We also have a project coming out this year that we’re so proud of. We think people will truly resonate with this body of work and we can’t wait for the world to hear it.” 

And, finally, please don’t get too caught up in hating. Spread love when you can and always make sure that you hate responsibly.

Man some of these are just petty. At least some of the others are somewhat demonstrating a social conscience. This one though, pure spite.
