Stupid Boi! is a collaborative synth-pop project from Kit Carruthers. It is an attempt to make popular music artful. Be prepared for your pretty little pop music to have very breif and occasional moments of screaming and screeching. The instruments used are a synthesizer, a piano and a violin. The albums that have influenced this project are Aufgang's "Turbulences," Sneaker Pimps's "Becoming X," Vitalic's "OK Cowboy," Holly Herndon's "Platform," 2814's "新しい日の誕生," Björk's "Homogenic," The Rapture's "Echoes," The Faint's "Danse Macabre," Ladytron's "Light & Magic," !!!'s "Louden Up Now," LCD Soundsystem's "LCD Soundsystem," VNV Nation's "Futureperfect," UNKLE's "Psyence Fiction," Rob Dougan's "Furious Angels," Air's "Moon Safari," Massive Attack's "Mezzanine," Portishead's "Portishead," Tricky's "Maxinquaye," Röyksopp's "Melody A.M.," The Postal Service's "Give Up," Depeche Mode's "Violator," Bonobo's "Dial 'M' For Monkey," Enon's "High Society," Susumu Yokota's "Sakura," Hadouken!'s "Music For An Accelerated Culture," Burial's "Untrue," Actress' "Karma & Desire," Kashiwa Daisuke's "Program Music I," Radiohead's "Kid A," Moby's "Play," Billie Eilish's "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?," Lady Gaga's "The Fame," The Weeknd's "Starboy" and Taylor Swift's "1989."

Fine, have your pretty little bippity bop pop music... But we're going to make it hard on you.

I put gritty under the pretty and make women scream, it makes you uncomfortable, doesn't it? Yeah? Yeah? Did I bother you? Did I bother you? Did I?

No I'm kidding this is very palatable you can do it.

"Stupid Boi! 1!!," "Stupid Boi! 2!!" and "Stupid Boi! 3!!" are an introduction to the aesthetic of the project but it is not fully formed. They are amateur and done without access to real actual people with real actual classical instruments.

It isn't vaporwave yet, I couldn't find any sounds I was satisfied with. I think I'll be looking through video game and anime soundtracks for them so I can be like my vaporwave heroes 2814 and pretend to be Japanese. Jen and I are video game nerds and Chris and I are video game and anime nerds and I plan to force Akira and Ghost in the Shell on Jen and she will like them because her man told her to. I swear I will only sample musical sounds when it's vaporwave otherwise I write everything I do myself. Oh wait except one sound in The Dry Path, Fractal Patterns and Pretty Colours, the scary string thing wasn't me but I did very deliberately place it at a certain note.
