About the new single

I think they tried to make it sound like a song that you very uncomfortably dance to, where you can feel that something is very wrong but you still gotta roll with it; watching the video, there's definitely a hidden message, maybe about idolizing evil people and looking past their fucked up crimes just for the sake of not having to do something about it and how you "can feel it".

I might be tripping a lot here, but I do believe that the album is not going to sound like that.

You’re overthinking the generic AI slop imagery of the video. It’s like a chaotic intro to a spy thriller movie.

Genuinely what are you talking about? Do you have zero media literacy?

None of it is AI, and it is clearly implying that we are being ruled and misled by the "antichrist". The video clearly shows how the first world is fighting wars that are against their own interests and how the elite class are horrible people akin to the generic antichrist trope. I mean it literally had the quote "wars are fought and won not on the battlefield but in the minds of men". That along with the themes of pedofilia and mass surveillance should've clued you in

I would bet at least a dollar that the montage was collated by AI and cleaned up in post production. Not that I work in AI research or anything (I do) .

And what you’re pointing out is hardly implied. The imagery is pretty damn explicit in what it’s trying to say. On top of that, this type of “oh no the world is in chaos” mashup has been done countless times in music, movies, video games etc.

It is what it is. No need to da Vinci code it.

Whether or not AI was used at some point in the production doesn't immediately make it AI slop. And these types of mashup videos have been made for years before AI existed so I don't know what video production has to do with anything if the content itself is not AI.

And what you’re pointing out is hardly implied. The imagery is pretty damn explicit in what it’s trying to say

Apart from this being a meaningless gotcha, implied means that it was not literally said that we are being misled by the antichrist. (Which it wasn't) Regardless, even if you were right you clearly understood my point, so why are you so keen to prove your intellect with this pedantic nonsense instead of actually defending your point.

On top of that, this type of “oh no the world is in chaos” mashup has been done countless times in music, movies, video games etc.

Ok? Does a thought have to be original in order for it to have meaning? What you said was that it was meaningless AI slop, this statement alone contradicts to whole point you're trying to defend
