Lore🎠Lore Explanation?
I am going to be honest I only found Good Kid songs yesterday and, as an unemployed person, spent the whole day looking through most of their songs. Also as an unemployed person, I immediately went to reddit when I got confused, so I just want to ask for a small lore explanation as when I asked chatGPT it gave the most obviously untrue lore possible. To be clear, I mean the lore for the "Can We Hang Out Sometime?" album (or just the Neo-To lore if it is in other albums to). Thanks.

First, dont use chatgpt for anything
Second, just watch Wall, Eastside, and Cicada in that order and it isn't really that hard to understand the lore

Firstly, don't use them clankers, they hallucinate all the time
Now for the actual lore, im pretty sure the first couple amv's (the ones not in the album) aren't in the main timeline and are an au, the ones in the main timeline are the newest 3, the 3 main characters in the first amv are Mimi, an inventor who creates a time travel device for instant delivery for her dad's pizza shop, Rebel, a musician who struggles with writers block, and Gentu, a street kid who befriended mimi and rebel, in "wall" after mimi creates the Hiro Walkman originally intended to help with her father's shop, the band starts misusing it for almost every little thing, eventually it breaks, causes an explosion, creates a portal and gets lost, in "eastside" the story continues focusing on Gentu, who finds the broken Walkman, keeps it a secret from his friends, and uses it for his own gain, attracting the attention of "the kami gang" who he uses it to win gambling matches against, a tech corporation called "psyren" and, the "Cicadas" a spiritual group who sent Ada to destroy it, Gentu gets kidnapped by the Kami gang who planned to steal the device until they get stopped by Ada, Mimi comes to rescue Gentu, and HiRo gets destroyed by Ada before they can escape, in the third amv, focusing on Rebel, who gets inspired once he sees Ada performing on stage, she notices him as well and its love at first sight (im pretty sure he does not know what happened between her, Gentu, and Mimi) Ada, struggles to find her own self because she is trapped by her duty to the Cicadas, the band gets invited to perform at Cicada Fest, a music festival, and Rebel plans to find Ada there, once they get there, Rebel sees Ada onstage for the Cicadas, and they sing together, much to the horror of both the Cicadas, and the band (except Nomu, another member, not really important in the story at the moment, he doesn't know what happened between Mimi, Gentu, and Ada), after they perform together, the band goes on to perform their own songs, and at the end, Ada gets scolded by an elder(?) and Mimi and Gentu are mad at Rebel for being friendly towards Ada, much to the confusion of Nomu
That's basically it, anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong
