eRapWMDX: Colorado’s alternative music recording artist, eRapWMDX, an innovator combining music, engineering, and apparently, downhill skiing, has dropped a new single, “The Algorythm.”
“The Algorythm” dives headfirst into the digital abyss. The single paints a bleak, strangely compelling picture of our obsession with online validation. Clicks, likes, shares…the holy trinity of the 21st century. Ever felt that creeping sensation of needing just one more? eRapWMDX has, and they’ve translated it into a surprisingly catchy, slightly unnerving anthem. Is the cake a lie? Who’s to say at this point.
The song builds a critique. A sound of frustration about that dopamine-fueled feedback loop that has seemingly captured, well, most of us. The “beast scenario” they describe, this loss of self in the digital maelstrom. It echoes, somewhat disturbingly, like that one Black Mirror episode, except instead of rating everyone, we’re just chasing invisible carrots dangled by…code. And for what? Do we win anything if our reality melts like cheese on a hot dashboard?
This is the interesting contradiction. “The Algorythm” with its alternative electronic vibe, occasionally flashes of an indie rock undercurrent. Is it fun and makes me feel like an ancient Egyptian carving hieroglyphs with my phone.
eRapWMDX taps into the feeling of being adrift in a sea of ones and zeros, that constant push to present a perfectly curated, utterly unreal version of ourselves. The artist showcases that feeling when the algorithm takes and never give backs.
It’s a wake-up call wrapped in an oddly danceable package. One moment, I’m contemplating the philosophical implications of social media addiction. The next, it could make a very good elevator music.
Are we all just hamsters on a digital wheel, running towards an illusion of connection? Perhaps.
