A minimalistic piece of bedroom synthpop that could just as easily have been made on a cassette deck by Velvet Underground in a remote property somewhere in the rural US.
gladboi is trying out new ways and laid back, chaotically seems to pull it off in what feels like some kind of blissful and laid back madness.
“Originally composed (and the main rhythm guitar track uses this instrument) on my Casio digital guitar, it's mainly about how much I rely on technology to be able to parse music and understand how to compose.“

hey, i asked if you were a feminist and i was actually wondering, sorry if it seemed agro. i didnt know if you were against all feminism or just didn't like sarkeesian's style.
Oh, no worries. Sorry if I was kinda snarky; I’ve been getting a lot of weird anons lately. But no, I’m not against feminism at all. Quite the opposite. But I dislike Sarkeesian because she approaches things from a very questionable viewpoint, and just blocks people or calls them trolls if they try to engage with her on anything (and I’m not talking about all the Gamergate fuckwits who try to have “logical and reasonable” debates, I’m talking about people calling out factual errors and the general… “white feminist” nature of her videos).
That, and the way she seems to intentionally gravitate towards the most controversial viewpoint rubs me the wrong way. Take when Mad Max: Fury Road came out, for example. It was getting rave reviews, both as an action movie and as a movie that actually handled women well. So as soon as it was getting praise across the board for that, she made a video going on about how bad it was. It just seems like she’s trying to stir up controversy to garner more page views at this point.
If anything, I resent how she’s pretty much become the face of the feminism-in-relation-to-video-games debate, because she’s a complete joke and it’ll probably be years before we can ever have a serious discussion on the matter that isn’t riddled with clickbaiting or name-calling.
