the scoundrelz

They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it's genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.

[glowrillaz]

if they really want gorillaz to become popular with zoomers they need to reboot it as something that looks like a colourful nostalgic piece of lighthearted children's media on the surface, but actually has dArK and sPoOky secrets about souls being trapped inside

Gorillaz in 2001: “We are a direct parody of rampant consumerism in the music industry. We aim to call out the superficial and parasocial relationships that exist between these manipulative artists/record labels and the general public in a shocking, humorous and thought-provoking way.”

Gorillaz in 2023: “UH OH!!! BIIIIG RIZZ ALERT COME WATCH MURDOC NICCALS HITTING THE GRIDDY ON THE GORILLAZ TIK TOK PAGE!!!! WATCH NOODLE TRACK HER HOROSCOPE WHAT A #SLAY. BUY OUR DESIGNER CLOTHES NOW AT THE LINK BELOW”

vividly imagining classic murdoc furiously, desperately tweeting about this. this would quite literally be the worst day of his life. just the idea that he doesn't meet "notability guidelines" would be enough to break the last remaining piece of his fragile ego

i need gorillaz fans to understand that the “lore” or whatever will NEVER be as good as what they were expecting bc gorillaz’ marketing strategy is based completely around hype, which will always result in disappointment. anyone that wants a crazy story is missing the point. the gorillaz characters are supposed to be the artists behind the music, but this isn’t the case at all anymore bc they broke the illusion. they’re basically mascots now. gorillaz was created to satirize the ridiculousness of celebrity culture/worship, not to tell wild, meaningless stories with heros and villains. they destroyed themselves by depending on fan service. complete 180.

[startupwizard]

the new interview showcases this issue perfectly. you need to have so much context just to understand an article written to promote an album. it’s ridiculous. they filled it with callbacks, lore explanations, and crazy wacky magical antics, but i don’t think the characters mentioned making music one time. EVERYTHING they said was to push a plot forward. murdoc surprisingly felt like his cynical self in my opinion, but it’s not like they’re writing him like that bc he’s saying anything important lmao. still, none of these characters would ever sincerely create a fucking cult, so it’s hard not to get hung up on that.

eighteen.

so i turned 18 today. obviously i didn’t go to bed expecting to wake up with bigger boobs and my own house and know how to do taxes because that’s unrealistic, especially the first one.. but i thought i would feel something different. like “omg i’m 18 now!! adults ftw!!!!”. i guess part of it could also be that i haven’t really done alot of stuff that most people this age have done. i still think alcohol is bloody disgusting. i haven’t had driving lessons. i haven’t had a proper relationship. i’ve never even kissed anyone, let alone anything more. but even then i don’t feel like i’m missing out on much by not drinking or driving, and as lonely as i am i would much rather wait for the right person.

i don’t know, i thought there would at least be like a switch that flipped in my brain and made it sink in. even at my birthday meal with my family i thought there would be something that clicked. but i feel exactly the same as i did yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and i’ll stop now before you get bored. :P

fun fact: being a minor doesn't excuse you from sharing private conversations and claiming that someone is a pedophile because of your headcanons, and me sharing those lies to defend myself and rightfully correct misinformation is not "bullying".

literally anyone can go onto that account and see their posts, and the comments on their posts. this person, however, shared sensitive content (which, if they are a minor, they should NOT have been given, and likewise should NOT be sharing) that was initially leaked as revenge.

if people are bullying you, I do not condone it. However, I cannot control the things that people who follow me say. I don't even care about the stuff from years ago that's been leaked, but i'm mad that it keeps getting shared to and by minors who should never have seen it in the first place.

[glowrillaz]

this is the funniest one because they literally just made this up.
