When you keep simplifying the name…
I like to hold out hope that one day some external force will permanently alter the universe.
Like one day the sky flashes for unknown reasons and half of everyone on earth is turned into an anthro animal. Or a loud crack is heard across the world and suddenly magic exists.
Am I insane? Yes. However, this would be very fun. And cosmically terrifying. But mostly fun.
Okay, that was good, get off the stage or I'll break you like an egg so I can make brownies.
if you c*nsor anything in a post you are l*gally required to put all of the omitted v*wels at the end as a footn*te
*eeoo
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.
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
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.
Braincells? lost mine years ago. I live on cracked neuron music and am on the run for writing musican fanfic. 8745 fictional characters live in my head rent free.
