i dont get it. Anyone please explain ?
As a Gessafelstein fan I am so surprised anyone knows who he is, hell I barely know who he is
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
Gesaffelstein goes hard, I agree.

ITT old people shaking their fist at the sky
I miss the good old days of non-political music like Rage Against the Machine
The top comment on this thread is frying me. Literally the most stereotypical “kids these days” comment I’ve ever read.
Loved that guy in Twin Peaks: The Return!
I had to read all the comments before I believed this was an actual artist and not a photo of a mannequin placeholder.
I love music, I’ve been a life long musician, I have a degree in music history, and I worked for the largest record company in America for years, and I still play music every day. I know music.
But I watch the Grammys, and I have no idea who many of these people are, and when I hear their music, I wonder how they got to that level with such bland, boring music. Even the ones I recognize are awful. Sabrina Carpenter is cute as a button, and jumps around in her underwear a lot, which is a plus, because her music is unlistenable in an elevator/grocery store background music kind of way.
Where does anyone even hear this stuff? Why do they like it?
No wonder classic rock is getting so popular. It might be vintage, but it’s still great music, and if you’ve never heard it before, it might as well be brand new.
Have you listened to gesaffelstein? His music might not be for everyone but I definitely wouldn’t call it bland or boring
I listened to his stuff today in the car because of this post. He has like 2 bangers and a lot of good beats that get overused and super repetitive. It’s on the edge of boring most of the time for me.
First I ever heard from them, artistic
I mean, this has been me my entire life, so idk what that means. But also I’m older now so I finally have the excuse!
Is that his skin? A mask? I cant tell. This guy looks like he skinned a dark chocolate bar and made a human suit
A mask
Thats me since like… ever? I never really cared about the whole celebrities spiel
You might just be a millennial.
Know the signs.
Even when I knew who the person was, I never memorized names anyway…
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.
Wat
why is that?
I think this video sums up what it’s like watching these events for me.
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!
Don’t forget Justin the Beaver.
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.
This might be the only appropriate time to ask why is he black?
He wears a mask at his shows
is this a new thing? he has the famous (?) smoking drop gif (from a viol live)
listen, it’s 202
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?I have no idea, ive just seen him live once. Afaik hes always done the mask thing
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.
I’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.
That’s Nightcrawler from the X-Men. Be kind to Kurt - his childhood was a real circus!
He’s black, not blue, so Sunspot or Obsidian maybe.
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.
