"Woah! Is that fucking blackface, dude?"
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
I heard of Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein! /s
More than that you just don't care enough to go look them up.
I’m more of a Flem’arty man myself.
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.
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.
i dont get it. Anyone please explain ?
I'm almost 40. Who the fucks this guy? I can't keep up with all these new kids and I'm old enough to just not give a rats ass.
Ah let me look it up, Gesaffelstein is a 40 year old music producer, dj, songwriter out of France. Very kid, so young, much wow!
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.
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.
Thats me since like... ever? I never really cared about the whole celebrities spiel
You might just be a millennial.
Know the signs.
This might be the only appropriate time to ask why is he black?

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.
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 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!
This is on purpose. Kids can't like the same things as their parents. They have to look for things their parents are against to feel rebellious and independent. For my generation it was nu metal. My mother was used to nice, elegant men wearing suits and considered any artist with esthetics rougher then Julio Iglesias as 'not nice'. So we had Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson and other weirdos. We had violence and gore to shock our parents and can't be shocked with that so kids today have overly 'erotic' artists like Cardy B. 'Look ma, I'm listening to an ex stripper. You don't like that, right?'. Musically our artists were too aggressive for our parents and kids today have rap which for me sounds simply boring. And that's fine, that's by design. If my generation was into those artists kids wouldn't like them. Of course the biggest artists are the ones that manage to span generations like Taylor Swift but that's for non-rebellious part of society that just likes things they already know.
I’m sitting here reading your comment, thinking about how I’m 55 and listening to Lorna Shore and Whitechapel while my 4 year old son listens to Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars.
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
Hey, now, I remember Party Rock! That was the only dance song of the 2010's, right?
