Stop going batshit about Saint Motel and STARSET, and acknowlage your other 24 favorite music people.
I don't know about you, but that's not how my hyperfixations work. Eat it Teminite.
"How the heck did I avoid getting a massive crush on A/J Jackson AND/OR Dustin Bates."
Wait, I mean... when you've been hyperfixating your brains out over cool music people for 5 years straight, how cute they are really stops being important.
Tokyo Machine & Chompo yipeee
I generally don't comment on Fandom Drama™ but I feel like it needs to be said in this case--
Starset using AI in the music video for Degenerate is the whole point
it’s been confirmed by the band that a team of artists were paid to create art to feed AI to create the visualizer
and maybe I'm putting too much faith in them-- but for the messaging of their music, it really blew my mind that people had to ask for confirmation that the use of AI was intentional/ironic
like, there was a two-album story arc about the dangers of unchecked technology in the hands of people who are willing to exploit others
hell, the lyrics of Degenerate itself are commenting on it--
[Verse 2] Artificial sickness Artificial pain Manufactured victims Of manufactured gains (It's all the same)
of course, I don't know the whole story, so take my commentary with a grain of salt, but I think it's really alarming to see the knee-jerk reactions many people have been posting all over social media
So, I was at a party when I noticed some music playing. I found the speaker near the food tent, and a phone connected to it via bluetooth. All that played was bland, overrated Pop music. Every songs sounded way too similar, and they were all about love/romance, because apparently that's all that matters in these poorly sung 1st grade poetry performances over some drum loop + bassline labeled as a song.
But for me, I realized something, In my heart, I knew. I knew that I had a mission, a quest I must perform.
During the first attempt, I pressed the bluetooth button, which cut the connection between the speaker & the phone, causing the music to stop abruptly. I tried connecting my phone to the first thing that showed up when I pressed “connect new device.”
An old guy came up, seemingly the owner of the phone who just put on a top hits playlist on spotify and called it a day. He assumed I was trying to get the speaker to start, or chose certain music. When talking to him, I soon found out that the name of the speaker was “Trailblazer” which was one of the names on the list of parable bluetooth devices from my phone (and not the one I connected with first). I added the speaker as a new device.
Everytime I turned the bluetooth back on and pressed connect, it would just connect to the guys phone rather than mine. I moved his phone out of the way so the speaker would pick up my signal first. It did, I already had a song ready.
As I told a group of girls & one boy, I consider it my mission to spread my music around, shed light onto underrated artists who deserve it, & allow people to hear their favorite songs that they’ve never heard before.
So basically, I hijacked the speaker & started playing my first ever live set as a DJ.
I unleashed an evil villain, as I announced to everyone what I had done.
Starstorm in the house coming at you live from someones backyard.
Starset time!
For context, the guy in the 2nd photo is Psognar, he's a very underrated music producer who does a lot of dubstep. His real name is also Dustin, and he does have that sci-fi aesthetic.
drawn two days ago actually...
Me making art knowing damn well no one is going to get it or understand who the characters are.
