CREATED IN 2020 OUT OF SPITE BY BIDDY FOX AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERYONE ELSE LEARNED WHAT HYPERPOP WAS AND STARTED MAKING IT
THE ALEXANDER DIOGENES CODE:
1. DO NOT DO DRUGS. IDIOT
2. DO NOT TALK TO ME UNTIL I'VE HAD MY COFFEE
3. BECOME POSSESSED BY DEMONS
4. DO NOT HAVE SEX
5. DO NOT BE HUMAN OR ANIMAL
6. LIVE IN A SUBURBAN HOUSE AND GET A JOB
7. JUST STOP BEING DEPRESSED & DISCOVER THE JOYS OF PLANT LIFE
THE FINAL UN-NUMBERED MAXIM IS THUSLY: MAKE MUSIC THAT DOESN'T SUCK ASS (I.E. NOT HYPERPOP)
~
THIS IS A CONCEPT WRECKORD INTENTIONALLY DEFYING MANY OF THE THEMES OF MODERN HYPERPOP. INSTEAD OF DUMB FUN AND WEED INDUCED ESCAPISM OR CATHARTICALLY OVERBLOWN DARKNESS THIS ALBUM IS TERRIFYINGLY SOBER, WRACKED WITH ANXIETY, APATHETIC INSTEAD OF CAREFREE, ALL IN MANNERS THAT ARE NOT GLAMOROUS OR FUN. THIS IS A BUNCH OF HIGH PITCHED OBNOXIOUS POP SONGS ABOUT THE MEANINGLESSNESS OF HEDONISM, THE USELESSNESS OF COUNTERCULTURE, THE LONELINESS OF ONLINE COMMUNITIES. IN THE END FOR ALEXANDER DIOGENES HAPPINESS MUST BE ATTAINED THROUGH STRIVING FOR SOMETHING LARGER, FINDING SOME GREATER MEANING THAN JUST SURVIVING, JUST SCRAPING BY. PURRHAPS IT WILL FIND ITSELF DEAD MILES FROM HOME OR IT WILL DISCOVER SOME TRUTH FROM THE RUINS OF MODERNITY. EITHER WAY IT HAS TO GO GET A JOB SOMEWHERE
