STARS: 2
Her name is Poppy and she’s a girl in her early 20s who makes music and.... videos like these:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
At first you might think “oh great another pretty girl on the internet trying to be super cute and weird and look like a Barbie doll” but that’s just a facade of her persiflage. Clearly she’s satirizing American culture and its frivolous, shallow celebration of things like entertainment, pop culture, celebrities, and holidays.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Another large aspect of her scheme is criticizing how people use the internet and social media. Again, I talked about this a couple weeks ago... how people interpret the number of likes/upvotes/comments their photos get and amplify the meaning of these numbers, even going so far as attaching these artificial likes to their egos. She mocks selfie culture here
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
It’s great how she ends some of her videos with “please subscribe or comment or like. I love my fans.”
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
“After all of us are dead our content will last forever on the world wide web...”
Yes, an ominous aura emits from her persona that sucks in the viewer and almost hypnotizes him/her to see more of her stuff. This is done on purpose and she’s toying with things like clickbait and even movies/TV/games that say “make sure you tune in next time for x...” or “Don’t miss out on y...”
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
The way she says things like “I love you” or “Will you do anything I say” mimics the willingness of people to please or suck up to those they want to impress or feel connected to. This video above taps into the obsession of idolizing and looking up to celebrities.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And here Poppy pokes fun at the cultural fascination with nostalgia and going back to the past.
I think these are pretty clever ways to get her message across and the fact she’s so dedicated to her guise and uploads new content almost daily bolsters her satire. What do you think?

The best is when she talks about death and how happy she sounds.
There are sinister undertones throughout her videos but I think it’s really a portrayal of how people go about their lives... hidden meanings, reading between the lines, you never know what goes on with people, things like that.

Young people cannot decipher what’s real and what is not. Show a roomful of high schoolers a video about Rosa Parks that has actors in 2005 acting out the scenes on the bus in color and they are surprised to learn that it’s not the actual occurrence. Suicide is a
real
problem in this age group and if this Poppy character is smiling about death, then we’re on another quantum level.

Poppy was interesting back when, even though it was probably unlikely, she might actually be a bit nuts and not a character. Then she started doing stuff like showing up on TV and collabing with the damned FineBros. Haven’t been this disappointed since creepy-chan showed up on that Tyra Banks show.

Her voice is every so lightly out of sync with the video. It also sounds like she’s speaking directly into a microphone which isn’t there. Notice how the sound completely drops out between each of her statements? Perhaps she is using a mic to re-record the things she is saying and is trying to match her voice to the video in post-production.
It just adds to the weirdness.
