She's Poppy. She's Poppy! She's Poppy. But who, or what, is Poppy? Is she just another pop star? An art project? A commentary on celebrity society? Where did she come from? Why is she here? Many questions have arisen about this YouTube channel. I can offer only some simple details, and encourage you to watch her videos and draw your own opinions.
To begin to answer them, we go to Mars Argo. This was a band featuring a blonde girl (Mars?) and the long haired sultry Titanic Sinclair. The two dated for a while and posted a series of eccentric videos on YouTube with the aim to eventually create an entire channel of content called grocery bag.tv. They released one really nice song and then...that's it. Mars Argo dissappeared. Most of their videos were removed or set to private, only one remaining:"Delete Your Facebook". Then a few months ago, this eerie video of Mars was posted under a new channel. In the video, she holds a gun (real? fake? I don't know) to her head, blood oozing from her mouth, repeating that "everybody wants it all". Perhaps this was a response to Sinclair moving on to the next new thing and leaving her behind for another blonde singer. Either way, it's chilling.
A short time later, That Poppy cropped up with an expansive offer of strange videos, some almost meaningless, some silly, some seemingly a commentary on some issue. She also released a few music videos to catchy but generic sounding pop songs, including "Lowlife" and "Money". And guess who directs all of her videos? Titanic Sinclair. And he describes her videos as “a combination of Andy Warhol's pop accessibility, David Lynch's creepiness, and Tim Burton's zany comedic tone".
If you attempt to research her, there's not much of anything too substantial, just lots of conspiracy theories. She could be a living art piece, a robot, raised by the illuminati, or just a singer who wanted to delve into a weird image to gain attention. Her Twitter and YouTube were created in 2011, but feature no posts until at least 2014. Was is that she planned far in advance or were all previous posts mysteriously deleted?
Take a glimpse and see what you can gather of Poppy.
My telephone defines me. When it is dead, so am I.What if you could reboot yourself? Everything's perfect. Living on this planet makes sense to me.
I just wish you would stop killing and eating us. You know, it hurts when we die. You just can't hear us scream.
