so, it might seem like i should know all about this. i might have commented on her videos when she was just getting started, even. but, that wasn't reflective of genuine interest - i was just trying to game the commenting system for personal benefit, to draw attention to my own music.

stated tersely, i'm actually too old to even be commenting on this.

it makes me wonder, though. that's the last slant on this, before i move on. i was at one time a weird internet personality trying to get somewhere over youtube (before they shut me down). i write guitar-focused electronic music. my music is not as pop-oriented, and i don't want it to be; i would rather prevent myself from being the centre of attention, etc. i'm not a natural pop star like this girl obviously is. and, my guitar style is psychedelic, experimental, blues, punk - but never metal, ever. that said, i also mentioned in the 1000 gecs video that what i do is not that far from it. and, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that i could have been producing music quite similar to poppy's, if i was a completely different person. i know that that's a weird statement - i would never write music like this. but, i could have, potentially. or, somebody could have potentially remixed some of my tracks this way....

i doubt this is the last i'll hear from her. i do hope that she shifts her aesthetic a little to something i can engage with a little better.
