Thank u for getting the reference but I really want to know. Is this some new acceptable form of blackface? Does he slather putty on himself? Is it a mask?

Blackface implies caricature. This isn’t attempting to be African American.
His visual media has quite a bit of this transhumanist stuff showing people made out of different materials, Hate or Glory shows a maniac who gets cast into gold for pleasure.
Considering he was working with Lady Gaga, who is also known for these extreme runway looks, I would say it was quite appropriate.
4 monthsI’m glad you provided a serious answer, because I thought the bottom picture was just a joke and not a reference to an actual person or thing that had happened.

56, you got to have a gimmick if you actually want to make it big in anything remotely “mainstream”. you think zoomers have the attention span to just watch someone in a suit sing?

True, although in many of the comics I read in my youth (mostly 1980s) Kurt was depicted as a very dark blue to the point that they made significant amounts of him look black.

One could assume they’re slathered in oil to protest the fossil industry, but that would be an assumption.

I’m in my fifties, but I’m still hip to what’s groovy. I know the name of the big artists. Uh … Wet Ass Pussy. The uh, those monitor head brothers … Around the World. Um … Billy Eyelash. The uh … the K-Pops!

Gesaffelstein is hardly a pop culture figure, though; I don’t think many gen-z kids know him. But he’s an absolute icon of the 2010s dark techno scene.
The Conspiracy singles were legendary. My Conspiracy Pt. 1 record has a More Cowbell joke on it, which I love. Weird record though, it’s 33 1/3 on one side and 45 on the other. And it doesn’t say that anywhere on the record, so it took me years before realizing I was listening to a slowed down Hatred. I kinda love the slowed down version, funny how that happens :P

He’s been around for a while now so they must be pretty old or weren’t into the dance music craze of the 2010’s

There was a dance music craze in the 2010s?!? I thought everyone was listening to Fleshgod Apocalypse!
Hey, now, I remember Party Rock! That was the only dance song of the 2010’s, right?

I was like who’s this guy and opened up his songs. The track Opr is in Cyberpunk 2077 and I love it so I guess I’m a Gesundheit fan now. His mask also reminds me of Lizzy Wizzy, which is cool.

Playing or talking about Cyberpunk 2077 is a sin against our transgender lord and saviour Jesus Christ. He and Eve don’t deserve the way CDPR commercialises trans bodies.

As a Gessafelstein fan I am so surprised anyone knows who he is, hell I barely know who he is

The top comment on this thread is frying me. Literally the most stereotypical “kids these days” comment I’ve ever read.

Idk if I’d call Gesaffelstein a celebrity. Also Gesaffelstein is fucking awsome? Do people not know Gesaffelstein? Serious. If you don’t know now you know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRSijEW_cDM&list=RDoRSijEW_cDM&start_radio=1
You’re welcome.

Definitely one of the most impactful music videos I’ve seen, this is why I know who Gesaffelstein is

woah, i watched most of the thing before i realized the birds are bobbing out of time with the music, a bit faster, if they didn’t switch the frames are realign they’d be completely out of phase several times.
Yeah the first time I can remember hearing a celebrity’s name and not knowing who they were, I was six. Another kid on the playground was telling Me about Michael Jackson and I hadn’t heard of him before. Kids these days.

I saw there’s someone called BBNO$, or something(?) and I don’t have the foggiest clue how to pronounce it.
Baby No Money makes clubby meme music, more prominent in the last 4 years or so. If you’re not on that side of the music scene that’s understandable.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you!

We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

Lmao I showed that to my grandpa once and he couldn’t stop laughing 😂

I don’t find it weird and scary, I just think it’s lame when they try so hard to be noticed and/or relevant.

I don’t want anything to do with K-Smog ever since the whole Batboy thing.
- 4 months
Batboy had it coming with the way he trashed Babbadoon. And I also think his contribution to Mog-Mash is overrated.

Zoosha sounds like when someone’s saying that something went way over your head.
