Gothic Funk, a Chicago-based collective since 2004, ties into a niche subculture blending gothic and funk elements, now in hibernation, suggesting the artist’s work may revive this underground movement with a modern, socially aware twist.

The lyrics critique superficiality in relationships, aligning with research from a 2022 peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Social Psychology showing 63% of adolescents prioritize visible social status over deeper traits, a trend the song may mock through its "half a mind" and "unsigned braincells" imagery.

The post promotes a song titled "VISIBLE GIRLS AND INVISIBLE BOYS" by Steven Vellou Horne (aka Gothic Funk) and AudioBake, reflecting a satirical take on social dynamics, possibly inspired by the 2017 Australian same-sex marriage plebiscite and the subsequent "Invisible Boys" TV series, which explored teen identity and outing via social media in Geraldton, Western Australia.

our music can't even be compared to anyone else's. we're in a class of our own. others should imitate us, if they dared to.

The Wag-the-Dog Life – A Seamen’s Song

(To the rhythm of crashing waves and creaking sails)

Verse 1: 
We sail the stormy waters, eyes fixed on the sky, 
While shadows dance on the deck, and truth’s a whispered lie. 
The captain’s got a secret, the crew’s just playing parts,
 In a play where the dog wags the tail, but no one knows the heart.

Chorus: 
We live the wag-the-dog life, 
Where smoke and mirrors rule the night. 
The cannon’s roar, the flashing light— 
Distraction’s the captain’s might.
 Oh, we live the wag-the-dog life, 
While freedom’s just out of sight.

Verse 2: 
The headlines blaze with battles, far beyond the shore, 
But back in the galley, the real wars wage much more. 
Laws slip through like silent tides, while eyes are fixed afar,
 And puppeteers pull strings unseen, beneath the evening star.

Chorus: 
We live the wag-the-dog life, 
Where smoke and mirrors rule the night. 
The cannon’s roar, the flashing light— 
Distraction’s the captain’s might.
 Oh, we live the wag-the-dog life,
 While freedom’s just out of sight.

Bridge: 
Raise your glass, my brothers and sisters of the sea, 
The storm may rage around us, but truth will set us free.
 No tail wags the dog forever, no fog can hide the sun, 
We’re sailors of the real world—our voyage has begun!

Final Chorus: 
We live the wag-the-dog life, 
But soon the dawn will break the night. 
The dog will wag its tail just right— 
And bring the truth into the light. 
Oh, we live the wag-the-dog life, 
But freedom’s worth the fight.

Captain, the crew’s anthem is ready to echo across the waves. 
Shall we raise the sails and sing it loud? 

First Officer standing by with voice and verse!

Here's a fun rockin' cover I've had sitting around for awhile. I'm playing everything, singing (sorry), and I cut the drum loops together. BTW...that bass line is really fun to play!

Negative Fluency Effect isn’t looking to win any popularity contest, we’re all about RUBBING SOCIETY’S NOSE IN ITS OWN FILTH!

Musicians who don't give a crap about public or music industry approval write lyrics like these! I've been anti-establishment all my life, unlike the phoney, pretentious, preachy, I’m your saviour, Bono types out there with their MORAL POSTURING and STRATEGIC SURVIVAL tactics! No fame, no fortune, no recognition, but we’ll leave this world with our truth to power authenticity and integrity intact!
