100 Gecs are a hyperpop musical duo from St Louis, Missouri. The duo is made up of Laura Les and Dylan Brady, who originally met in high school and began collaborating years later in 2015. 100 Gecs are one of the most recognizable hyperpop groups, but their core style is hard to define. Les and Brady have both said they approach writing with an "improv mentality" and have a willingness to incorporate genres outside of what's considered traditionally hyperpop.
Their debut ep, 100 Gecs, was released in 2016. The EP was well received but it took the duo years to find the time to release their full length album. After a successful DJ set together in 2019, the group's profile began to grow and Les and Brady used that momentum to write and record despite living in different states. Created exclusively through online collaboration, 1000 Gecs was released on May 31st, 2019. Word of 1000 Gecs spread with the hashtag #stream1000gecs and and quickly pushed them to a wider audience. By the end of 2019 they were touring the US and getting hundreds of thousands of streams each month. In 2020 they released a remix album featuring multiple remixes of each song, new songs, and live songs. The album, 1000 Gecs and the Tree of Clues, featured a variety of artists including Charli XCX, Fall Out Boy, Kero Kero Bonito and many others.
Currently, they're working on a follow up to 1000 Gecs and have released two standalone singles since the remix album.

A reasoned: “B is confident their own face is not marked. If they saw mine unmarked they would be surprised at C’s laughing, because C would have no marked face to laugh at. But B is not surprised. Therefore, my face is marked.”

Twelve flags stand equidistant along the track at the stadium. The runners start at the first flag. A runner reaches the eighth flag 8 seconds after they start. If they run at an even speed, how many seconds do they need altogether to reach the twelfth flag?
Like usual have a great day :soviet-heart: and remember to dm @Wmill the answer.
Sorry this is so late! This is one of my favorite groups and I find them very inspiring. Hope y'all are having a good day 🙂
How is it that the same guy manages to show up at every job? You know the guy, the hot head who has "been in the business a long time" so no one notices how much of a piece of shit he is. The guy who finds it necessary to micromanage everybody underneath him and only succeeds in preventing other people from getting work done. The guy who, when he makes a mistake, immediately finds a reason why it's someone else's fault and then chews them out even though every single person except this guy knows that it isn't anyone's fault but his. The guy who tries to solve every single problem instead of letting other people figure out solutions on their own, and ends up not solving anything and slowing down the whole process because instead of just solving the problem, now everybody has to deal with him. The guy who is responsible for scores of good workers leaving the company specifically because of him. You know that guy. He works at your job. He works at my job. He gets paid more than both of us. He's probably good at one thing, but he sucks at everything else, and everything else is what he tries to do all the time. There are an infinite number of these guys, and they're in middle management positions everywhere around the globe.
If this isnt copypasta or a bit, it's because of material conditions. Capitalism algorithmically finds these people and ensures they get middle management positions because they'rereally good at being the proverbial whip for your exploited surplus labor. Someone more efficient doesnt serve capitalists interest for the imperial core, your point isnt to produce it's to consume all and be harangued so you dont establish class consiousness
