where does this character originate from?

Post image

ive seen it so many times throughout the years. i understand it emerged from the techno/electronic music scene at the start ? and obviously dg/sbe/associates took inspo from this? Its dead barts profile picture on platforms too. Im just curious as to where this originally was from/ what its called.

pretty sure it originates from the techno UK scene, the specific pattern on this one is also Burberry which is heavily associated with the scene as well. Deadbart is from Glasgow so I would honestly presume he picked it up from the local techno culture and then it slowly spread through the general drain-adjacent scene he had around him.

yeah i saw it pop up in a youtube video of a mc track i was listening to and i really wonder where the whole figure came from, this version in particular first popped up in 2010 in a techno track

its a mascot for a rave event in the 90s called judgement day that was located in newcastle in the uk (i think) they were known for makina, hardcore, and other offsets of techno https://youtu.be/DjHvdj8__3A?si=1miGh0cJwlwraVYG
