If you wanted baby noises set to techno and a compendium of early-2000s internet graphics and rave visuals, well today is your lucky day. A Korean DJ/producer named Hitchhiker (히치하이커) has released a mind-melt fuckwad video for “11,” a pretty grating slice of STFU-core that sounds like a few tween robots making offensive Native American noises in their futuristic, beat-driven language.
We don’t even know about this.
So … we’re issuing the challenge: Can you watch “11” all the way through? Will you even want to, after about a minute in? Do you miss the simple days of “Gangnam Style” dominating the Korean music landscape? Do you value your ears? Your eyes? Did you think music could get any worse in 2014 after Magic!’s “Rude”?
Before we get wet, here are some thoughts from Refinery 29, which gets a bit carried away and predicts everyone will be talking about this on Monday (instead of Derek Jeter):
It’s like Gaspar Noé enlisted M.I.A. and avid Second Life users who create bizarre GIFs for Tumblr to make a video for his auto-tuned baby chant.
On top of that, there’s what looks like a chrome version of Laurence Fishburne’s character from The Signal busting some dad-style dance moves. It’s a mess — a beautiful, whacked-out mess that will soon come to dominate the Internet in the same ways Nyan cat and the Harlem Shake did. Consider this your warning.
Let’s hope not. But warnings are good.
