>>130576102I think the plot of the album, the mood it was trying to evoke, the memes and animations people created around it meant more than the brutal reality that it was songs from the 30s that was slowed down and distorted.>>130576424a bit of this as well

It was a challenge on tiktok, and probably a lot of these kids' first foray into experimental music. Hell maybe concept albums as a whole.
