A Parody of Our Generation #ICBANANA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1beWxMab3U 
 
 
Idan Cohen and Daniel Chen have never pushed their careers as musicians. Daniel is a Polish stand-up comedian and Idan is a Romanian content creator, actress, and director. They decided to come together and join forces, along with executive producer David Svoboda, while in the Middle East, to show the world all of the many things that are WRONG with our generation’s mainstream music industry. In music, when you think of a parody, you normally think of a song that is poking fun at another song. 
Filipino Artist Mikey Bustos went viral recently with a parody of the song “Despacito” by changing all of the words to “I Wear Speedos”. #ICBANANA is a parody, but it is not a parody of a song, or of an artist. #ICBANANA is a parody of every mainstream music video that has been released in the last

How many films the last two years were either remakes or sequels of films that were already known to be successful? The music industry is doing the same thing with its music videos. As such, we realized that we didn’t need to make a parody of a single song to show people what is wrong with music today. We could make a parody of the state of the entire industry and people would hopefully wake up and realize what is going on. 

The first step was to create fictitious artist personas for both artists. This was very easy for them 
due to their backgrounds. Idan decided to create the character I.C using her initials as a name that could 
also double as a play on words. She would be an accountant that got discovered while working in the 
entertainment industry. She lived with her grandmother in a trailer in Hollywood until she made it big in the music industry. Daniel also did not let his creativity lack when creating his fictitious artist persona. Daniel decided to become Don Hohova. His character, Don Hohova,
