the ways it does 'crazy shit' while being derived from pop music is by amplifying all the things nfun doesn't like about modern pop music to a crazy extreme. and i mean it nails what it intends to do! but the moment i saw it nominated i knew it'd be instant last place in an nfun ranking

Yeah I realized too late that 100 gecs is not "pop music for people who do not like pop music" which is more in line with what was being requested. With the Knower example given I could not tell you what about them would have been appealing on that angle because as someone who does like pop music, they just sound like well-executed indietronica to me. Though, now I understand the parallels and divergences - both have similar EDM influence and use random drops for example but they use them in the exact opposite ways (Knower more seamlessly incorporates them, gecs makes them MORE jarringly abrasive).

That's fine though, people love or hate gecs for a lot of different reasons so I think it served its role as a useful barometer.
