Live In Dog Years

100 Gecs “757”

A lot of 100 Gecs sounds to me like two people pulling together random fond memories of the 2000s and synthesizing it all into something that’s simultaneously rooted in the past and sounds further into the future than most people are living right now. “757” is a wild impressionistic blur of rap lyrics and pop-punk hooks, all scrambled up like Max Tundra and played back at a nighcore tempo. It’s playful and silly and deliberately annoying, but also so well-crafted that listening to it once more or less dooms you to hearing the main hook repeating in the back of your brain for days on end. It sounds like musical amphetamine but it’s about weed, it revels in trashiness but there’s a real sophistication to what they’re doing.
