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?
He wears a mask at his shows
is this a new thing? he has the famous (?) smoking drop gif (from a viol live)
I have no idea, ive just seen him live once. Afaik hes always done the mask thing
listen, it’s 202
56, you got to have a gimmick if you actually want to make it big in anything remotely “mainstream”. you think zoomers have the attention span to just watch someone in a suit sing?
That’s Nightcrawler from the X-Men. Be kind to Kurt - his childhood was a real circus!
He’s black, not blue, so Sunspot or Obsidian maybe.

True, although in many of the comics I read in my youth (mostly 1980s) Kurt was depicted as a very dark blue to the point that they made significant amounts of him look black.
One could assume they’re slathered in oil to protest the fossil industry, but that would be an assumption.
He’s going as one of the creepy guys from Expedition 33.
Gesaffelstein
Gesundheit!
Viele Dank
Yes, many dank!
If you’re curious, this actually comes from the word Gesamtkunstwerk
Huh, interesting.
I know some German so I understand what “Gesamtkunstwerk” is because the Finnish word for it is probably just a direct translation of the German one – “yhtenäistaideteos” (yhtenäis+taide+teos), loosely translatable as “unified work of art”
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.
Daft Punk died 5 years ago
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

Day Man!
Gesaffelstein goes hard, I agree.
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
I am them then.
They are also in gta5 soulwax fm
So say we all.
There was a dance music craze in the 2010s?!? I thought everyone was listening to Fleshgod Apocalypse!
No, everybody was listening to Rhapsody of Fire (formerly Rhapsody)
Hey, now, I remember Party Rock! That was the only dance song of the 2010’s, right?
As a Gessafelstein fan I am so surprised anyone knows who he is, hell I barely know who he is

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.
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.
I heard of Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein! /s
A cropped version of this video was my introduction to Gesaffelstein.
woah, i watched most of the thing before i realized the birds are bobbing out of time with the music, a bit faster, if they didn’t switch the frames are realign they’d be completely out of phase several times.
Lol
No clue who this is. I thought you’d comment was a joke, but no idea.
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.
They’re only 4, there’s still time :D
My kid went in the musical theater direction, which I was cool with. You have to put up with the “Look at me! Look at me!” energy from multiple kids at once, but they’re good kids, with lots of confidence, once they are away from the bullies and assholes. And they tend to be really funny in a smart way.
I love theater kids.
I know celebrities! Like, uh… K-Smog, and Zoosha…
I don’t want anything to do with K-Smog ever since the whole Batboy thing.
Batboy had it coming with the way he trashed Babbadoon. And I also think his contribution to Mog-Mash is overrated.
I still can’t believe they were flipping grunts…
Zoosha sounds like when someone’s saying that something went way over your head.
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 saw there’s someone called BBNO$, or something(?) and I don’t have the foggiest clue how to pronounce it.
Baby No Money
BeeBee nose
don’t know for sure, but my guess is “Baby No Money”
Baby No Money makes clubby meme music, more prominent in the last 4 years or so. If you’re not on that side of the music scene that’s understandable.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you!
sometimes it is what it is not…
I don’t find it weird and scary, I just think it’s lame when they try so hard to be noticed and/or relevant.
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
First I ever heard from them, artistic
It’s because the only way to become a famous musician anymore is nepotism. You have to be born into a wealthy well connected family so you can get record contracts and actually have the time to hone your craft.
What you’re seeing are industry plants; the hobby of trust fund kids.
