Underground Artist Watching Gatekeeping

the underground artist living in their car watching another fan tell people to keep quiet, gatekeep, and keep them “niche”

An underground artist sits in a car, watching another fan try to keep their music obscure by telling people to stay quiet and gatekeeping the artist as “niche.” His exhausted, tearful, red-eyed reaction turns the joke into a bleak parody of artists wanting recognition while fans protect their underground status. The dark, melancholic music “Nope Your Too Late I Already Died” by wifiskeleton & i wanna be a jack-o-lantern intensifies the melodramatic reaction and makes the clip feel absurdly tragic.
