1000 gecs

1000 gecs is the debut studio album by American experimental hyperpop duo 100 gecs, released on May 31, 2019, through Dog Show Records. The album is considered a seminal work in the hyperpop genre, characterized by its maximalist and highly distorted sound, blending elements of pop, electronic, ska, metal, and other genres.

The album gained a cult following online, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Twitter, due to its unconventional and often abrasive sound. Its tracks are known for their rapid tempo changes, heavily processed vocals, and unconventional song structures. Lyrically, the album explores themes of internet culture, anxiety, and relationships, often delivered with a sense of humor and irony.

Notable tracks on 1000 gecs include "money machine," "stupid horse," and "hand crushed by a mallet." The album's critical reception was mixed, with some praising its originality and innovation, while others criticized its chaotic and overwhelming sound. Despite this, 1000 gecs has been influential in shaping the hyperpop genre and inspiring a new generation of artists.

100 gecs followed 1000 gecs with a remix album, 1000 gecs and The Tree of Clues, in 2020, and a sequel album, 10,000 gecs, in 2023.
