Ads for gear always portray musicians as middle/upper class normies that like collecting plants and have clean organized studio spaces but the reality of all the true artists I've known is they're working out of a tiny bedroom in a disheveled filth pit of chaos and poverty.

@monomatemusic The terms scenester and tastemaker denote a level of insider status. I'm just an outsider that does mad scientist shit.

Been releasing music as Johan Ess since 2004 and it's kinda fascinating how much material I was making in those first years that has an uncanny similarity to what would later become known as crunkcore and later as hyperpop. Not claiming I directly influenced those genres though.

Nu-metal's two decade resurgence and the return of myspace aesthetics already underway would imply that a crunkcore revival and possibly even a crabcore comeback are imminent. 🍾🦀

I don't mention this very often but I was born with extra crab claws growing out of my body.

You know, maybe I really am king of the bongo but I also believe that you can become king of the bongo too.

Satanic Panic is a lot like McRib cause it always comes back but only for a limited time until most people lose interest.

Omg at the end when he snaps Daddy Satan's neck and wears his horns. That is some "beyond good and evil" philosophical radness. This video KILLS on soooo many levels!

First time watching Montero last night and holy stripper pole I love it! This is like the most transgressive mainstream music video I've seen since the 90's but it also manages to max out my gag meter.🤘

This whole crusade against cancel culture by the right to try and regain legitimacy is such a red herring. When your whole thing is going "a private company changed something that I don't like and that's wrong" what even is the difference between ya'll and Star Wars fans exactly?

Conservatives are all about free speech (unless you're not supporting their religion with your speech). They're also all about the "free market" (unless you are selling religious memorabilia that they disagree with). There you go, GOP. Back on your culture war bs again.

Before we are forced back onto the hamster wheel and all the attendant distractions, neuroses, and pathologies take root again let's remember that we are living in an inherently unequal world that requires incomprehensible suffering all because we listened to the wrong monkeys.

George Carlin once said that when you're born into the world you're given a ticket to the freak show and if you're born in America you get a front row seat. But if you're like me and you're also from Florida then you get to be the one performing on stage.

You can be part of a culture industry and you can also be part of an industry culture but it is very challenging to not be either.
