about
HOLOCENE is named for the Holocene Extinction, which is the 6th mass extinction event in the history of life on Earth, the worst since the asteroid that wiped out the previous rulers of earth the dinosaurs. This extinction event is happening RIGHT NOW, and it is entirely caused by human activity including but not limited to climate change, habitat destruction, air pollution, and ocean acidification. This song is about our arrogance and short-sightedness, abusing our unique ingenuity as a species to exploit our environment for personal gains without considering or caring about the consequences, which are only becoming more severe every year.
lyrics
(You should feel pretty lucky. If we look at all of Earth's fossil record together, 98% of all species that have ever lived are extinct)
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
(We are in the sixth mass extinction)
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
(And this time, we're the asteroid)
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene
On my mass extinction shit, no survivors
Global superpredators, we got no rivals
Took out all them big cats, king of tigers
Like Joe Exotic with top hats, we the suppliers
What you need we got it
Green paper lines our pockets
Skyscraper penthouse poppin
Lil gas never hurt nobody
From Rockefeller to Ambani
Pump plastic bottles like Dasani
Nestle GE BP raise the GDP bring in the big money
Power your 1080p HDTV with dino corpses
Watching your Fox News tell you your views without using primary sources
Those white boys burning crosses are the same ones working forces
Rage against the machine, defund the police, but we'll never recoup these losses
Maintain the immolation exploitation status quo
Kick off the defaunation population domino
The ecosystems all connected, carnage outta control
Got biped wisdom but our planets wrath we have provoked
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene
Listen, I ain't carin bout Karens
They minds so fragile and barren
Ride sugar daddy's McLaren
Mad to the max Charlize Theron
Them weekend flights to McCarran
Bet all their bread on the barons
You want some cheese they ain't sharin
Got this disease from they parents
Entitlement is inherited
Bigotry is inherent
Humility is aberrant
Your infancy is apparent
You brought your guns to get hair done
Searching for losers look there's one
I'm out here schoolin like Sheldon
Second big bang it will spare none, ay
Defilers of science the climate's a myth
We have the high ground Revenge of the Sith
Four billion life years but only the sixth
SpaceX will save us but that's just a trick
It's way too late to discover a new world
No more clean slates so they cash out like Bloomberg
Argue up high we regret-a like Thunberg
You a denier then we got two words
FUCK YOU
Burn in the hell that you've created for us
This carbon dioxide wasteland from burning down all the forests
Thermometers don't lie guys our home is getting warmer
Like our AC is broken and no ones fixing the transformer
The scorched earth so big black and beautiful like Lizzo
Entire world consumed by this craft of war like Blizzard
The one percent are farming your organs King Gizzard
Cuz ain't no planet B to escape to ya fuckin lizards
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
The most invasive species yeah that be humanity
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene
All black like an oil spill, we never seen
Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green
Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams
Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene
HOLOCENE
Humankind accomplished its dreams, long live Anthropocene
I dabble in the art of using a computer to organize pressure waves in air to emanate from your speakers and vibrate your eardrums in pleasurable ways. Or in other words, I make music.
