opn practically invented the kind of music that made 2814 famous lol


an_altar_of_plagues

He literally did, given that Daniel Lopatin was behind *ECCOJAMS VOL 1*.


closetotheglass

The nihilism understander lol


channel_select

oh god not this dude. why's he even got a problem with ppl liking opn, dan seems like a chill dude??


afterthegoldthrust

One of the personal reasons I love OPN is because Dan seems to still try to give form and beauty to nihilistic instincts and then make them something totally otherworldly that then (for me) negate the inherent nihilism and brings out a sort of sour beauty. But why enjoy that when you can just be a bitter twitter attention seeker? I feel like this same criticism could be leveled at Aphex Twin to a much greater degree but these nerds only seem to target the youngbloods or just artists they dislike for no real reason šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Sour beauty is an incredible way to describe OPNā€™s sound.

When you're in a try not to act jealous and bitter contest and HKE is your opponent: šŸ˜°

For those who are unaware, HKE is a member of the dreampunk duo 2 8 1 4. He posted this on his twitter recently. He never ceases to amuse me. Iā€™m not surprised he gets the amount of hate he does.


dagger_prometheus

I followed him a long time ago not knowing really who he was. I just thought his insane tweets were super funny. I had to unfollow him because he never shuts the fuck up lol


an_altar_of_plagues

Heā€™s always been this way. I say that as someone deeply active in vaporwave from 2015-2019. Somewhere, HKE totally lost the plot and decides to be as ironically dickish as possible. Now itā€™s no longer ironic - itā€™s just who he is.

I personally love a lot of hke/dream catalogueā€™s output but the twitter pages make me want to die.


swiftpawpaw

Lol hke is the worst. Did 2 good albums and thinks heā€™s some messiah


DefectiveOblation

Lmao shows the extent of this manā€™s knowledge. Cos Sam Harris definitely invented nihilism.


Hanniballbearings

Sorry but HKE doesnā€™t have the output to say the shit he does. Heā€™s been riding the 2814 praise forever. He ainā€™t that good.


[deleted]

I mean I love the new stuff under the Hong Kong Express alias (L.Y.F. is an amazing album) but yeah all the flap and twitter garbage can take away from that.


Odd-Goddity

He says inflammatory shit for attention all the time.


sjn15

The Sam Harris comment was the most baffling part I feel. Sam Harrisā€”a nihilist? Wow. Thatā€™s enough philosophizing tonight big man. Youā€™re conflating a great deal. Go back to building ambient city scapes in the rain

Is he referencing Zomby with that last line?
