False Idols of the Feed

“False Idols in the Feed” is a hostile broadcast from inside the algorithm—an indictment of influencer culture and the manufactured gods of social media. The song exposes how clout, outrage, and curated personas replace integrity, expertise, and truth. These false idols are not prophets or leaders; they are optimized performances, amplified by engagement and sustained by attention.

Musically, the track is driven by mechanical rhythms and abrasive synths that mimic endless scrolling, notification pings, and dopamine loops. Repetitive, crushing patterns reflect how influencer narratives are recycled, shallow, and inescapable, while moments of distortion and collapse represent the psychological fallout left behind.

Lyrically, False Idols in the Feed portrays a digital crowd kneeling before screens—liking, sharing, defending figures who sell illusions while profiting from insecurity, division, and misinformation. Authority is no longer earned; it is algorithmically assigned. Influence becomes a weapon, and responsibility disappears behind sponsorships and disclaimers.
