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 🙂

    I turn 25 today and I think this is the first birthday I've ever had where I wasn't looking forward to it. I feel OLD, and I know I'm not but I just feel like the last 5 years of my life have gone by in a blink, I'll blink again and be 30.

      Same here comrade, happy birthday:meow-hug:

      And I've been thinking about how i haven't gotten any birthday wishes like I have in the past. And it's not that I'm concerned about being wished happy birthday per se, it's the fact that I don't reconnect with people each year like I used to :/

      I guess that's just a part of getting older 😢

      Happy birthday Comrade. We place too much emphasis on our youth, the only time we feel we’re free from the conditioning of the capitalist machine.

      I’m heading into Mid-thirties. The next five years blink if you dont stop and take in everything, my 20s were over and done with nothing to show for it. But today I’ll achieve more.

      I send you off with all the love and support I have to offer you.

      Happy Birthday. :stalin-approval:

      Hope you have the best birthday you can on this complicated day. As someone who just turned 30 last month, I can confirm the next 5 years are more than just a blink
