The reason it’s so good is that it breaks the classic rock structure. It doesn’t go verse-chorus-verse-chorus-verse. It has a refrain that it returns to between verses, but they’re never given completion. The tension builds and builds and builds, until it’s finally released in the final “DONT STOP BELIEVING! HOLD ONTO THAT FEEAAEEAALING!”
I find myself really attracted to songs that shun the normal pattern for a long buildup instead. Another of my favorites is El-P’s [Request Denied](https://youtu.be/DnpgTcPPdIs?si=9HYmZmLjI0FjiEI9).

Wow, you found differing opinions from 2 people 2 years apart about one of the most popular songs in human history on a social media site with 350 million active monthly users. Insane and epic.
Id say its overplayed as opposed to overrated
