1000 gecs
Released
1000 gecs was hyperpop’s stylistic turning point. 100 gecs amplified the cut-and-paste meme logic of the genre to absurd extremes, essentially Americanizing it. An extended metatextual joke, the most memorable songs smash together unfashionable trends like nu-metal, scene music, and Skrillex-like big tent EDM. At its best, the gauche collages of “800 db cloud” and “stupid horse” provide a jarring counterpoint to a real emotional center, albeit one filtered through layers of absurdity.
