I like knowing that Gorillaz and PPG take place in the same continuity. It`s not like they left Townsville that often except for that one time.

And it was very funny.

Although, I really wish if the Gorillaz project just ended by 2014 or something. It was such a product of its time, the perfect encapsulation of that 2000s vibe and its struggle to stay relevant is just sad and offputting. Its fucking 2025, its novelty wore off long ago, literally anyone could run a virtual band from his bedroom now, voice AI is a thing. Its storylines went nowhere, just spinning its wheels for decades, its vibes are strange and unfitting, and the characters who were fun and edgy back then are just creepy, unappealing losers by now. They simply do not fit into this era, they are time travelers from 20 years ago, like if someone walked into a 90s party in disco bell bottoms. It was a good, fun creative project, very successful, we really enjoyed it, but please let it go, put it out of its misery. It should have ended with a bang, on a high note, wrapped up completely and its crew moving on to other projects. How long they think they can drag it out? Its not something that you can zombiemode like the Simpsons or Spongebob, just a sad straggler trying to find its place in an era that has moved on and left it behind. Zoomers do not give a shit about it and trying to sell youthful edgy teen shit as nostalgia to 35+ millennials is just its own brand of terrible, like still wearing Hot Topic shit at that age.

All these fake fans lmao

I hope he's next.

>>149058322
The new one is good though, best in like a decade

>zoomers find this creepy

>>149059042
You're not wrong, but it's fine to continue on as something different. I was all in on the Gorilaz heyday, staying up all night playing the dune buggy game and such, exploring the nooks and crannies of the website, it was an amazing experience. But while it's not as enigmatic or focused or cohesive or whatever now, i'm enjoying it as "Damon Albarn's solo project where he dabbles in a bunch of different genres and approaches with guest stars, along with Jamie's great art" That's fine, that's good enough for now.

Hey can you ctrl+x Israel and Iran for me
thx

>>149058322
Now Now was pretty great, but that holds special place because I saw them live back in Chicago '18. The Song Machine stuff was pretty great too, but Forever Cult was their best recent work.

I thought Song Machine was alright, but that's about it in terms of new music I like.

>>149059123
>zoomers when they see a post longer than five words

>>149059166
No. A good exit, a satisfying conclusion, that leaves everything wrapped up is a HUGE part of a successful project. You don't drag shit out until it becomes boring slop. A gentleman knows when to leave a party. They could have went on with other creative projects to explore shit, maybe even have a Gorillaz '"reunion" in the future, as it would be "that 2000s. Bush era thing" everyone recalls well, a snappy, lively thing that lived on in fond memories not this technically still ongoing-but-who-the-fuck cares thing lost in the noise of the internet. Like, many people don't even realize they had albums after Plastic Beach.

Also, this "song machine" shit was the cringiest shit possible. Yeah, I fucking get it, you dont really feel like jumping off the most successful project of your life as an old man, one you started as a 20something and ran for decades, but please, just let it stay its own thing, rather than trying to "include" everything and everyone in it, searching for new stuff. This is just the desperation of a 50 year old, lacking the youthful creative drive and energy to jump into something like the Seymours. Just take a step back. Enjoy what you have created, take a breather and see if you can still add something to your achievements, rather than trying to live off it.

>>149059149
It looks like literal fucking shit. Ugly, disgraced losers trying too hard to be edgy and shocking, Noodle especially looking like THAT one girl on a high school reunion. It just oozes sadness. Why the fuck is Beast Boy lookin ass mf dressed as a gay commissar on it even. It just lacks everything, the vibe, the intensity, the coolness of the original setup. Its pure "how do you do, fellow kids, am I cool yet?" energy, like a potbellied loser of a divorced manager riding on a Harley-Davidson. dressed in leather like Mr Slave, buying twinkies at a 7/11.

>anyone can run a virtual band
they can. weird thing is why hasnt anyone else done it on a professional level then?

>>149060363
Because the shtick was done already in 1998 when the cutting edge technology was a beeping beigebox, and it was a new and exciting concept, duh. You needed a real professional setup for it back than, which artists did not have, separate animation team, music team, etc. so artists(more like, record labels) simply did not bother. Then suddenly the internet explosion happened and it absolutely became banal and trite, much how MMOs were killed because people spend their entire lives online anyway. A musician having a fake persona when most people are doing most of their daily interactions through fake personas is the least interesting thing possible, The world just moved on.

>>149058348
kek, i could have sworn she had like a shit ton of wrinkles in the original pac vid. is this the edit i made a while back?

My life got better after I dropped this band and its fandom. It really felt like a toxic relationship to follow the band's retarded decisions and its fanbase full of manchild cunts.

>>149061454
Lol I found this band in the Humanz era and dropped it by the no now era, it was cool when it lasted but other than their old music I don't care much for them anymore

>>149058322
Nah, Humanz has to exist to be Damon's reboot of Paradiso.

>>149059042
I saw them in concert in 2022. It was fantastic, all the more so seeing OG fans with their kids. The only song to get a louder audience response than Feel Good Inc was Desole, which wasn't released until 2020.

In short, fuck you, it's good that they're still around.

>>149058322
Clint Eastwood was their only good song. Everything else was forgettable pop bullshit. It sucks that nothing else they made sounded so haunting.

>>149060016
Counterpoint, Momentary Bliss was a good song that would otherwise not exist.
What you need to keep in mind is that Plastic Beach funding fiasco proved that Gorillaz is Albarn's band first, and Hewlett's creative project second, and bands can go on forever.
From that perspective the current state of Gorillaz makes perfect sense. Its a bunch of themed albums with another animator guy who bent the knee the moment they decided to do Humanz desperately trying to make something with the pennies he is given for advertising and failing every time.

>>149059899
well go take a nap and THEN DELETE THEM

>>149059149
>>149059913
she pulls it off well
Hewlett is a masterful pop artist

>the noodle in the car picture

>People shocked that Jaime Hewlett would draw ugly and weird looking people and Damon Albarn would to do technically solid but kinda forgettable pop
look, I know most of us discovered the band as kids and weren't familiar with their work outside of Gorillaz music videos, but it's been 25 years. The band's trajectory is nothing out of the ordinary if you're even slightly familiar with what they did before Gorillaz

>>149060363
all the tools and techniques aren't substitutes for ambition and drive. It's easy to just give up early on.
Albarn and Hewitt having the resources to work on the band helps, but both are well off enough by now that if it was just a money thing they'd have long given up. They make music because they have music they want to make, an idea can only go so far if you don't commit to it.

>>149058972
No, you don't understand.
That's not Murdoc in PPG style.
That IS Ace of the Gangrene Gang from PPG in Gorillaz.
