Whoa, this whole hyper-pitched vocals, bass-twerked screw, trap-funhouse, pictures of drinks and straws, and timbre acousticabilities are all really going hard. Like, you got PC Music on the EURO club-pop scene. Manicure on the straight slick-mix slip. Chazzy bb having been on this sound since 1998. Shit, there’s even Pedicured on the serio-troll scene. And I’m sure plenty more where that came from. So what makes THIRSTY any different?
There’s this idea that’s been passed around for ages within the arts that you’re a character to your own work. I believe Nietzsche based The Antichrist around this idea? Jono Mi Lo related it to WWE. But at this point in the modern world, it’s attributed to an Internet personification of yourself; at high-speeds, the Internet can contribute to more than just one aspect of a single project’s art. THIRSTY is doing this well by using a simple conceptual characteristic based around the act of drinking, which is brilliant because easy to adhere to artistically. But beyond that, it’s the belief that the THIRSTY personality partakes what is lyrically being provided in their songs. Same goes for the listener, by-way of THIRSTY aesthetically transferring emotional energy through musical measure in tracks like “MY CUP.” The rest of their track names are similarly wetting their whistle in titles and lyrics too.
But what it really comes down to is the speed of culture and critique. Does THIRSTY outlast this year, having only began two months ago (as presented on SoundCloud)? Is THIRSTY a fashion being worn by someone familiar, only to fade and adorn another cloak to mask themselves behind? Will “MY CUP” sense-out your Monday? Or did someone say REMIXXXXXXXXXXXXXX? Either-way, THIRSTY presents the immediate dynamic of an aesthetic that’s becoming increasingly more popular as it grows, so participate with “MY CUP” below and flesh out:
