100 Gecs - 10000 Gecs - In-Depth Album Reaction

[@ineedsomespace3038]

Went to a 100 Gecs concert and it was wild lmao I loved hearing Laura Les explain the meaning of the songs, like "this next song is about the time I got my tooth removed: I Got My Tooth Removed".

[@lilfeature5954]

[@surfsuptofino]

"are there any frogs on the floor? that is my transition to the song frog on the floor."

I would actually pay to see that and I don't fucking pay for shit 😂

[@zoeybarter3246]

You asked “is this hyperpop?” & I actually think that’s an interesting question. As much as 100 Gecs has become poster children for the genre, I actually don’t think they necessarily represent the norm for hyperpop as a style of music. The Gecs are much more punk rock than many of their hyperpop peers, I would say in general the genre is much more immaculate as exemplified by artists like SOPHIE, Dorian Electra, Kero Kero Bonito etc. They all share maximalist sensibilities but I think the Gecs are much more brash & absurdist than their peers.

[@eligee6955]

Especially sarah splitting off to cryalot

[@DancingEyesPodcast]

I’d argue that majority of the songs on 1000 gecs would fit into the category of hyperpop but not the ones on 10,000 gecs

[@PixelOverload]

Hyperpunk? 🤷 Honestly their genre kinda feels like it varies track to track and even within most, but mostly orbits around hyperpop-punkish

[@bengordon9977]

Oh my god shut up

[@adamwilson4259]

yeah, 757 is the only true hyperpop song on the album

[@mcride1242]

the thing that I love about 100 gecs is not just how fun their music is, but how they never sacrifice quality to make the music as fun as it possibly can be. this album is one of the most entertaining pieces of music ive heard in so long

my gf “hates” 100 gecs so i played this album for her and she nodded her head to pretty much every song and didn’t even complain about it being gecs until she recognized laura’s voice. also frog on the floor could legitimately be the solution for world peace

[@atomic_hok]

This album keeps getting better and better with every listen. 100 gecs music is so chaotic just like my attention deficit brain I love it.

Agreed. I’ve probably listened to it 20+ times and I keep finding more and more to love. I honestly like it more than 1000 Gecs.

[@fuckinghugepablo]

i would say 10000 gecs went in a more rock/punk direction, but songs like 757 and mememe are more hyperpop than the rest of the album :3 if u never checked out their first album (1000 gecs) THATS hyperpop, i would def reccomend checking it out too!

[@FernStone]

I am just as much surprised as I am elated that you reacted to this one Jon, you made me laugh with all your analogies !! Edit: also , I hate to self -plug, it's not even what I'm trying to do (my video isn't even cut for KZbin yet anyway) BUT I also told a story about a frog before I listened to Frog On The Floor, because my cats used to bring them in too!! AND I spoke about their screams !! hahah EDIT AGAIN: I may as well not post my video , I also mentioned the band The Presidents Of The United Stakes Of America in MY video ....I totally see where you are coming from.

[@sxtxnstxn]

100 gecs actually blew up on tiktok back in 2019/2020. a lot of people got into them and had their tiktok phase and for some reason dropped them once it wasn't cool to like them anymore. i was one of those people who found them on tiktok, but their style is so unique and unforgettable that i've permanently become a fan. i've been waiting for this album and it's amazing! i'll be there to support them on their future projects!

[@mewgiah8057]

I was a huge fan of the first 100 Gecs album and couldn't stop listening to it. However, 10,000 Gecs move away from Hyperpop and lean into nu metal/rock and ska left me a bit disappointed at first. One of my favorite things about Gecs is that underneath all the chaos was always a catchy pop hook that is pure euphoria. But this record really ditches their dance roots. THAT said 10,000 Gecs has been growing on me the more I listen to it. And I'm really starting to appreciate how talented they are as songwriters. While the selfish part of me would have preferred a second record similar to the first, I'm now Glad they made something completely new. I can already tell this band is gonna have an insane discography in the future and a diverse library of sounds. Edit: after a month with the record I've come to love it 😂 I genuinely don't know how they do it. But all of their chaos just comes together and works. While I still prefer their dance hyperpop sounds of the first record more, I now like 10,000 Gecs about the same as the debut. Cant stop listening to this.

Death Grips and Clipping. Death grips pioneered the experimental hip hop in the 2010s and made it mainstream. Their production is still amazing to listen to even 10 years later. Clipping is where dark ambient/ experimental beats are present with fast rapping and horror storytelling.
