He seems like a super cool dude. I hear his concerts are a lot of fun.

I had a friend who was a very pretty woman, but she drew a bunch of tattoos on her face in eyeliner and wore a baggy sweatshirt and jeans one year for Halloween and it was uncanny. She already had super long ringlets and she just fucking nailed it.

The latest in a line of artists who chose their stage names from formative video rentals, like Hudson Mohawke and Fred Again.

What are the formative rentals in these examples?

i think the most important thing to understand about Post Malone is that the absurdity is representative of a rejection of Malone's eurocentric projection of universal truth. Post Malone is more interested in the fact that while the reality we exist in may have aspects of objectivity, all of our individual perspectives within the greater gestalt are ultimately subjective, no matter how much we try to unearth an objective truth. Personally, I'm interested in the ongoing turn towards Meta Malone which seeks to critique, comment on, and ultimately combine both Malone and Post Malone

Bottom right one looks like he just really enjoys the feel of doll hands on his face.

Bugsy Malone (the all-kids 1930s-gangster pastiche), Hudson Hawk (a 1980s Bruce Willis caper film) and Dead Again (an afterlife romcom)
