On Video / The Internet / Music Tumblr comes alive in new Deathface video

Juggalos, twerking, fake blood, asymmetrical haircuts, Mishka t-shirts—the new video for "Six Feet Deep" by Deathface, aka sometimes-Chicagoan techno-sleaze button-pusher Johnny Love, looks kind of like my Tumblr dashboard come to life. Small surprise considering that it's a collaboration with Lil Internet, the Twitter celebrity best known for dreaming up the #seapunk hashtag that inspired its own microculture.
Love has always had a thing for gnarly 90s electro mall-goth—it made perfect sense when he was hired to remix Marilyn Manson last year—and the combination of aggressively noisy synthesizers, overdriven scream-rapping, and small-town nihilism fits him nicely. Check out the video after the jump.
