A little about me: I don't *get* the Chainsmokers. "Closer" had a Mariah Carey moment, sure. But the fact that they have the No. 1 album and song in the world right now is just plain ol' surprising, and frankly, a tit-bit problem*tic. In the interest of science and genuine childlike curiosity, I decided toasktheyabo sportsBuzzFeed社区why, just why, they like them.

回应真是疯了!我收到了500多个'em!真正惊讶的是,只有少数人说:“您实际写这个!”标志性!
So... *slams gavel* Let's get into it!
1.这个人告诉我,由于他们的名字和恶作剧,他们喜欢Chainsmokers。

4.This person raved about their gratuitous use of confetti cannons.

Moving on...

18.This person explained how good they sound drunk in a college environment.
"I can't explain it, but there's something about being drunk at college surrounded by your best buds and their songs come on."
20。And this person listens to the Chainsmokers for their brain health.
"I'm all for super artsy and profound, but sometimes, I just can't do it. If you wanna turn your damn brain off and have a good time, listen to the Chainsmokers."
很高兴知道!
I was almost done here.
21。这个人喜欢他们,因为他们的音乐描述了他们的感受。

22。出于实际原因,这个人喜欢Chainsmokers。
