No matter how bizarre/terrible the music in this video is, I find myself agreeing with the general sentiment put forth by “spoken word, poetry, philosopher and performance artist” Copernicus. Happy workweek, humans:
I love it when he starts screaming “the quark is real!” Oh, and what do I need to do to become a “spoken word, poetry, philosopher and performance artist?” Sounds like a good career move.

“The result is triumphant!” Indeed.

I call “spoken word, poetry, philosopher and performance artist[s]” nutjobs—I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em! “Let your non-existent mind be your leader,” BUT also, “take your mind seriously.” So I guess the takeaway is that you should pay more attention to quarks, which are real, then yourself, which is not.
I guess I can’t be too critical, I wrote poetry like this once. I guess I was just lucky to realize it was nonsense once I sobered up.

Yes, this is God-awful gobbledegook. But hilarious, nonetheless.

I could see how some folks would find it hilarious (his facial expressions are priceless), but for myself, I would have to categorize this only as amusingly perplexing. Like, how did he get those guys to play instruments for him? Are they as amused as we are? Is this guy some sort of teacher and how exactly did that happen? Is he undead, i.e. a lich king? Perhaps he is a spoken-word-poetry-philosopher-performance-lich-artist? And the portion of the puzzlement that really slightly unhinges the humor for me is are these kids being forced to perform under some kind of duress and/or dark magic?

Those are certainly all valid questions. I vote for dark magicks. Since he probably can manipulate subatomic particles, he no doubt finds it simple to animate the bodies of these, ahem, musicians.
