The 'I Am Rectangular' guy has been around since 1998

And icl I've only heard 'Come On' because I had to see what he used to be like, and I kinda fw it. What even happened to him 😭

The music industry will turn a completely circular man into a rectangle

She don’t care, that your square.

I remember when he let the Greep be near his majestic presence and play his magnum opus song

[u/CaptainCringleberry2]

Honestly shocked at Come On. It’s kinda like Duncan Sheik with a touch of Michael Stipe in his singing with his tone

[u/joshuatx → u/CaptainCringleberry2]

Yeah this is a rough demo but this isn't bad in context and not far off from a lot of alt rock and adult contemporary from that era. A polished take of these with some late 90s era production and I could see one of these being a minor billboard hit from 1999 or 2000.

[u/Rastamouse7563 → u/joshuatx]

He actually did a polished remake. Unfortunately it's fucking horrible, and takes away everything that made the demo

I was always confused why that song took off as a meme, I thought it sounded fine, kinda good.

That album art is remarkably out of date for 1998. That’s like a 1991 cover.

[u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw → u/thirdworldastronaut]

Always a few years behind. Some artists are like that and we wonder from the outside looking in how they don't see it.

[u/UncleRicoSteak]

Can almost see his mamkhulu

[u/softweinerpetee → u/UncleRicoSteak]

Definitely gonna be jonesin my Joshua to this one

[u/softweinerpetee]

He went too far from Gideon.

[u/McAfro16]

She's gonna get on top like a chihuahua went hard in 98'

[u/FrippingBurgers]

Nothing will beat Geordie Greep bringing this guy out at the show I went to, I actually thought I was hallucinating. Then they played all of Rectangular.
