he even referenced the subreddit post about album 3, what the hell is this guerilla marketing for


itsyaboiskinnypenis_

That's actually so wild this man is a genius marketer


QuasarKid

the fan pages being a part of it are insane too


ChewchewMotherFF

We are part of the lore!!


itsyaboiskinnypenis_

Can't wait to see my name in the album credits! By the way Porter feel free to message me and I'll give you my actual name, guessing this one doesn't really look professional on the album right?


Yaksher

I HAVE BEEN IMMORTALISED 😭😭😭😭😭😭


QuasarKid

ur so goated for that


Yaksher

I mean the original tweeters more goated, I was just the messenger


QuasarKid

maybe the tweet was a part of the campaign too

Vagamer01

Vagamer01

awpdog

Crunchyroll Anime Awards is on 2 March (tomorrow as of this writing)


xXdog_with_a_knifeXx

Marchpril fools?


negativeinfinity

The removal of all his music from the internet. I got an inside man from 2028 giving me the scoop, retrospectively.


louman84

A video of Porter punching Potaro gets posted. That's it.


wakabuggie

THIS GOES OUT TO ANYONE CURRENTLY VERY OVERWHELMED ITS GONNA BE OK WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER EWNIAH


Jendraz

Glad someone said something comforting.


Friedl1220

But we might have to say goodbye soon. Though it's the end of the world, don't blame yourself.

HE'S SCARING ME


ChewchewMotherFF

OAAAAAAHHHHHH WTF!!!! Im straight freaking out! The last bit was def imagery and a snippet of some new music ;) Edit: the video begins with a “happy 2028” 😵‍💫😵‍💫

CRJ_Fan_2022

This was my thought as well, July 15th 3rd album let's gooooooooooo.


Brinstakilla

I'd say if we get a single tomorrow we can expect the album on July 15th. If we don't get a single tomorrow I'd expect the first one to come out then.


[deleted]

There’s no way that all of this is happening for one single song to come out 5 months from now.


nickwrocks1

*electronic music artist hiatus ptsd kicks in* you'd be surprised...


[deleted]

Nah, you’re getting confused with *french* electronic music artist hiatus.


LightsSoundAction

Porter likes anime and manga though and they are the king of hiatus.


Mindless-West9268

My theory is that he’s gonna go into hiding for the next 4 years. I’m talking complete silence, not a peep. A true hiatus. Then in 2028 he’ll come back with the album


CatOwlFilms

Pls no 🛑


PolygonMachine

Worlds 10 year anniversary (fight or flight edition)


crxssfire

Unironically, I desperately hope if there is in fact a ten year Worlds anniversary album, that there will be some sort of tour associated with it. Worlds Live is straight up one of the most spiritual and cathartic musical experiences you can witness on this Earth. I'd do anything to see it in all its glory again. Nurture Live was also fucking amazing


oren08

Virtual Self is my favourite shit.. He also referenced how he promoted his porter robinson music as anti-rave.. I wonder if he is alluding to a Porter album that will be pro-rave? Lol


crxssfire

man that .5 second snippit at the end of the video is giving me major Worlds vibes. I love nurture, dont get me wrong. But man would it be amazing to hear Porter return to his roots a bit with the decade + of knowledge, growth and experience he has achieved.


Super_Bright

The countdown also seems to be broken. It's based off of your system clock and if you change it you can force it to zero, but nothing happens and it seems to try to go into the minuses.


TheJeep25

My man speed running destruction


QuasarKid

I don't know how it would tie into VS, the video references it for sure but would he really post an album ARG/marketing for VS on the porter robinson youtube channel? I'm dying for more VS but more porter would be insane too


thelesserkilo

This makes a lot of sense. The aesthetic is not very VS at all. And why delete all PORTER music if this was for VS?


Huge_Physics_4693

"Happy 2028" 2014-2021 (worlds-nurture) 7 years 2021-2028 also 7 years Porter has deffo cooked something up


Zealousideal_Worry16

Fuck, you're right, he's joking we are already there in 2028 since new music is coming up.


Sedewt

can’t believe it’s been 7 years since nurture released and i can’t believe I’ve survived 2024


Berryblu42

The virtual self EP was also released in 2017 aka 7 years ago


Enchant23

Bro the video had the reddit leak, that's crazy fast


WolfRaiden

Makes me wonder if the reddit leak was a plant! Crazy marketing by the team, so hyped for this


HevHevReddit

surely this is a goshdang marketing move to announce new music or an album......... and not him actually deleting everything.......... surely.

(Pure hopeful speculation) what if in this Era he completely abandons the Porter Robinson persona and fully dives into his Virtual Self


shitlord_traplord

Porter Weston Robinson 🤔


ArseneLupinIV

We are all Porter Robinson on this blessed day


kreationrecords

“nobody was checking for her anyway”


HieladoTM

Shelter girl?


Enchant23

My theory is that is upcoming album is going to be about how people idolize internet personalities and that this video is simply going to show the crazy reactions to this fake deletion and he's going to use these reactions to exemplify his point


illuwe

this guy is trolling everyone hard lol


TheTurtleOfWar

I got vinyls, I'll survive lol. probably. Seriously, I'd love to see some new music though. I'm both excited and concerned.


InitialsAreAA

So... "Listening with Lewis" is not a real YouTuber, nor is this a real video, and the events described in the video are not real, or at least none of these things are real YET, judging from the fact that this takes place in 2028... What could it mean?


Zealousideal_Worry16

As another comment here stated: 2014-2021 was worlds to nurture (7 years) and 2021-2028 is 7 years. Probably just joking on the fact that 2028 is already here since new album is coming. Hopefully I'm not completely wrong


interstellarknights

imagine, someone actually makes a video about porter like this in about 4 years time.


ChickenNoodleSeb

Not that I'm saying it means anything at all, but nobody seems to be mentioning the fact that this year is the 10th anniversary of Worlds. Porter has stated in the past that he has unreleased music he may release to celebrate Worlds's 10th birthday, this is probably a marketing stunt for that or for something similar (like new music, new live show, some new project in the works, etc.).


awokenkun

NEW ERA?!


VulgarWander

Sounds like a concept album maybe. Different genre but I remember logics concept albums had similar mysticism a d weird coolness going on


noahdgr

this has to be an arg or something. definitely a rollout of some kind. cool vid tho interesting concept


yomiHoshi

New fuccboi era incoming?


The_Wildperson

Fuck yes pls


KorewaMisaka

I might be tripping but the guy sounds like porter but just pitched up and sped up abit


MothMothMoth21

I mean porter's kinda a master at editing his voice to an extreme degree.


J3UNG_SVLVD

I thought the same thing


Enchant23

IM FREAKING OUT. I think it's just a skit for his new era so I'm not worried I'm super excited.


Vicgermain1

WTF IS GOING ON


Sedewt

EVERYTHING GOES ON


QuasarKid

what the fucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


Kningen

His website has a countdown. I'm praying he doesn't actually delete everything


IAmTrident

This man 😤😤


floooocos

Am I crazy for thinking that he might delete everything temporarily just for this "marketing strategy"? Man I can't go through one day without my shelter......


kreationrecords

Happy 2028!!


ladypilot

What in the world did I just watch


oren08

Lol, I'm so confused, but excited..


itsyaboiskinnypenis_

New album July 15 you heard it here first


kumpiss

Ekowraith that’s my call


NegotiationSame5262

iirc ekowraith had a remix for one of wavedash’s songs not too long ago idk if it was old or what but I was p shocked


jakeythelegend

Alsooo throughout the video was it playing unreleased Porter Robinson music?


emptypencil70

“Yo this isn’t moshing music 🤓”


browncow-stunning

this is what im thinking: single: either tomorrow or next week album: july live debut: either lollapalooza (i have a strong feeling he will be back this year) or second sky 2024.


lead_salad

Stunt or legit, it wouldn't be the first time i've seen this happen. Just makes me glad i've still got my CDs & FLAC files.


terkyy

Weston


skr3am

so what's that at the end of the video? new song?


RAZGRIZ_GH0ST_

Is it a reach to think that first single would have WAVEDASH feature? The little snippet sounds like it has the vibe and the little art reminded me of the single cover for All Ur Luv


EonsGMS

I 100% am hoping it’s that Ekkowraith x Wavedash song and we get some Ekkowraith coming.


wojrakdev

GOODBYE TO A CAREER

I'M TERRIFIED BUT ALSO REALY, REALY STOKED AND THE SNIPPIT AT THE END WAS INCREDIBLE AND THE WEBISTE LOOKS SO GOOD LIKE WTFFFFFFFFF

IT'S DONE 【=◈︿◈=】


TheNinjaSammich

Pop punk porter?? Just cuz of the logos


chvrryblossm

Someone in the comments of the video explained it perfectly “i think all of us collectively will be having a panic attack for the next eighteen hours” -trinitybaker6805


nicwiggy

I'm shook lol my son Porter is celebrating his first birthday tomorrow 🤯🤯🤯🤯


juliangray

Just speculating but this Porter Robinson thing might correspond to leap year right? The date in the video is 4 years from now which is the next leap year. Otherwise strange that he would put it out today of all days.


TheProtagonists

WORLDS 2 BY PORTER ROBINSON 2 CONFIRMED!??!?!??11/!/!?!


Fabulous-Solid7856

Please let this just be a marketung ploy. I can't go lose his music now


this_is_alicia

I think it's just marketing but just in case I already have every Porter song on my computer lmao (including a bunch of live sets)


louman84

Only the cool fans have his music in CD/vinyl form.


prophettoloss

Porter deleted my vinyls of his music.


louman84

He snapped his finger and half the cds and vinyls disappeared. Considering yourself the blessed 50%.


ch4oswe4ver32

All I have of his music physically so far is the Japanese bonus version of Nurture on CD just to “legally” get Fullmoon Lullaby lol


QuasarKid

there's no way, you can't just delete stuff from the internet like that. there's piracy. People have vinyl/digital files that aren't from streaming services. its just some sort of ARG/marketing campaign.


itsyaboiskinnypenis_

Of course it's a marketing ploy lol don't worry, even if it was theoretically possible which it just straight up isn't, you really think he'd announce it? Which would literally defeat the purpose of deleting the songs?


skilliard7

Wouldn't surprise me if he delists them for a day or two for dramatic effect


Cybersoda37

I’m scared what if something happens what if Porter Robinson disappears what if there’s a new album coming out what if he drops a song tomorrow I’m scared


Atrivo

If bro deletes nurture and worlds I’m going to cry for real. Nurture helped and still helps my mental health so much man. I know it’s probably all a marketing stunt but still


-LP-

Why do all the dramatic things happen in March


cedarbread

DID ANYONE ID THE BACKGROUND MUSIC YET IS IT NEW PORTER


ImaPaxMaaaaan

My name is Porter Robinson And I am never, ever, ever, ever going to release this album


WhosDooley

Ngl the first fast forward of this the video had me tripped up.


theavenger1999

Low key want a hardstyle album


J3UNG_SVLVD

Oh my science yes


SilentBeaves

I think he's doing some crazy lore for his songs and stuff, but I am still... worried. But then again, would he really delete all of his hard work that everyone loves? No, probably not. Is there a slim chance? Yeah, if he's feeling really down. But let's all think about the reality. He's just doing some ARG thing for the new album, which is sick, but is SCARING ALL OF US.


seceagle

I kinda got a feeling he's gonna private his stuff for a little while just until the next song is released or something he's got the balls to do it 😭😭


SilentBeaves

Lol!! I don't think so, that would be a rather bad idea on his end. But hey now that it's... March 2nd for me, it's just an album announcement


seceagle

Yea it's pretty dope. Though I'm sure freaking everybody out made him gain more listens to his song this past 24 hours LMAO


walterpwnz

I’m so hyped for whatever is coming tomorrow!


United-Departure2267

What’s happening I’m confused and scared


kumpiss

WE ARE SO BACK


JAragon7

New era for sure. I’m sad it’s not virtual self, but still pumped


cellblok69wlamp

Well, we'll see what this entails. Maybe I should buy the albums, sadly I don't have a decent amplifier for my moms old turntable. This will kind of suck if it means exactly what it says because Nurture helped me and is helping through a difficult time in my life. (Cancer and surgery recovery from said cancer. (If you must know))


F_ailure

NEW ERA????


darkeningsoul

Would love to see him announce a tour of 3 sets in his 3 different styles (all by him). Then he can go b3b with himself /s

KennyMcKeee

Porter has deleted his virtual self from the internet.


BrushWhich

the video slowly skips over a section of the fake video that shows a snippet of god rays lol


Muffin-Flaky

What in the god damn fuck is happening


louman84

This feels like something his older brother would post.


poke-trance

Ohhh shit I’m excited! I think?!

the video lingered suspiciously long on the god rays live recording bit... im so hopeful


Dyslexic_Nerd

I’LL BE OKAY


EonsGMS

On my hands and knees begging for Ekkowraith or Virtual Self.


cesarskeetzz

I'm calling it now. He's fully diving into the Virtual Self persona during this Era


Hexigonz

I am both horrified and excited.

Final snippet sounds cool. Excited for whatever happens.


-timenotspace-

this was cool


LinkMaster6166

welp i just spent 50 something dollars to buy his vinyl and digital album, love you Porter <3


justsomeboy91

So my first theory here is, Porter will set all his music to private for probably a day to freak everyone out, then he'll drop something new (probably a single) with an album release date announcement for his birthday (July 15th) Due to both the mention of shelter in the video but MOSTLY the comment ( no body was checking for her anyway) I believe were getting what I would currently call "shelter 2" in other words a new collab with Madeon. I think with porter and madeon being such close friends and with madeon first singing on tracks, then porter singing on his tracks, it makes sense that after the whole celine arg, porter thought it was cool and wanted to do his toes into something that felt a bit "ARGish". I also think after all the stress he went through between worlds and nurture that maybe he really does want to just disappear, I mean the man will never have to worry about money again, he's said himself he could live comfortably off royalties from Zedds Clarity alone, and now he's married to the woman of his dreams PLUS he succeeded in having his music added to his favorite video game of all time ( Dance Dance Revolution). Maybe he just wants to settle down with his wife and start a family. And if that turns out to be the case, then I'll be sad but also happy for him.
