    Dorian Electra is really fucking good, there is not a single song they made that I wouldn't fully recommend. If you're just getting into them (not necessarily OP, everyone reading this) I recommend starting with Flamboyant, maybe specifically starting with the singles from Flamboyant if you're not used to hyper-pop, and then coming back for My Agenda.

    Also "Give Great Thanks" is a vibe

        I think there's an article somewhere where it says that it was a phase that they're really ashamed of

          They were groomed by a libertarian teacher when they were a teenager, they did the ancap praising shit because of him. It's really gross. Dorian is an AOC stan nowadays.

    Back when shows were a thing, I saw ManMan and Rebecca Black opened for em. She was really fucking good.

      I'm glad she's getting out from under that Friday song that she was getting perpetually shat on for.

        Isn't the whole thing there that she was one of many rich kids whose parent paid thousands of dollars to send them to a music production camp?

        Like...it's not like a lot of the criticism wasn't deserved...

          whether or not a mass online reaction and the inevitable harassment that comes with it directed at a newly-public figure is "deserved" is irrelevant. the internet aggregates all the reasonable, normal people in the world into a single omniscient sociopath, and that sociopath decided it would focus on a random teenager.

    I wasnt expecting Rebecca Black to carry her career forward like this.

    And maybe i should check out hyperpop. What should i start with?

      100 gecs and Charli XCX are best for first impressions. AG Cook is good for more electronic and Rico Nasty for more Hip/Hop.
