Oliver Edgelord - Dead Internet Rot God Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
(Yeah)
Brain rot, I'm a triceratops! I'm scrolling on my phone a lot (Rot)
Straight Ohio cow pie shit, skin walkers trippin like I dosed a drop
Nighttime nightmares forever, but I hate Christmas 
Always online, sleepy, sad, and folded like a cot
Bullies mock, hoes slob, the internet told me to lock in
The internet is my only friend, she's smart enough now to speak and generate assistants
Forever in the dark, unaligned A.I make me rot from within
NPC parents, endless fucking errands,
Chores to the ceiling, my mom is so unfair and shit
Dad is a lame and square as shit, they both hate my rot 
They know I'm on that very funny, very scary shit

(Then who was phone?)
(Who? who was phone?)

(CHORUS)
Rot god, Rot God, Rot God, my gamertag is spoiled and maggots rub me a lot (Rot)
I'm surfing through the woods, chased by a cryptid covered in spots
I'm riding on Big Foot’s back, it's A.I generated slop,
The Internet is fucking dead, just ask all the bots
(The Internet is fucking dead, just ask all the bots)

(Dark future go Brrrrrrr)

(Verse 2)
Boomers are shit, I'm cross with Gen X,
My Millennial parents bug me a lot
I'm ignoring their calls, I'm dissolving into bits, I'm a Roblock
Young goat here, getting Thicc from eating so much online slop
My guts burst open and out came a flood of rot
These chickens are jockeying for me, girls want my memes, they're hot
Stole yo girl on FarmVille, she lives on my plot
Haters have a lot to say but they're eternally mogged
I'm puking in the booth right now and have on sticky socks
Holding a funeral for the Internet that bitch is spoiled rotten
Flushed my Skibidi soul down the toilet and became a god of rot
My meme rot is virulent, I’m forever on message boards and my creepy reels are shock

(CHORUS)
Rot god, Rot God, Rot God, my gamertag is spoiled and maggots rub me a lot (Rot)
I'm surfing through the woods, chased by a cryptid covered in spots
I'm riding on Big Foot’s back, it's A.I generated slop,
The Internet is fucking dead, just ask all the bots

(I bought the Ohio stock)
(A glue pony in a jar? That shits rot)
(I bought the Ohio stock)
(A glue pony in a jar? That shits rot)

Dead Internet Rot God

Oliver Edgelord - Social Media (Trauma Dump Version) Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
(I'm ugly)
I'm ugly, I look too old for my teens (Be social)
I don't have any real life friends, but plenty of low vibes and feelings
My pockets are hurting, I'm not very smart, (Am I even worth anything?)
My vacas are awful compared to my classmates, I'm trapped
I'll never get a girlfriend, I'm not strong or hot
Social Media is eating me up, I'm fucking cooked, I'm smoked, I'm pot
I have 10,000 friends online, but none know how badly I'm hurt
I'm pushed to the edge, I'm the lord of it 
My closet is full of maggots and my broken hearts, I hoard shit
I make memes and collect them for a laugh, but I'm low all the time
(Is crying a crime?)
(I do the shit all the time)
(FUCK!)

(Chorus)
I'm never feeling social and I consume so much media
Swiping forever on an endless stream of colorful dread,
I'm watching myself gorge in line and I just keep feeding him
Everything and everyone seems so much better
Everything seems so perfect on social Media
(Social Media)

(Verse 2)
I threw up because I tried to hold it in
I want so badly to be truly social but why can't I? (Anti social media)
My hands reach out to connect online, my guts and head are spinning
Real Life is a dream where I hardly exist
I look wrong is every photo and its really hitting me
Social media and online addiction could be crippling me?
Digital Humans are the ultimate tool, I use them to sort my head
Really I just want someone to listen to me,
Really I want my parents to understand and not be pissed at me
Social Media is just so gripping to me,  when I get so many hearts and likes, it feels so real to me (FUCK)
When things in life get too real I just share my latest meme
When things in life get too real I just share my latest meme
(I've cried enough for tears to be a water sign)

(Chorus)
I'm never feeling social and I consume so much media
Swiping forever on an endless stream of colorful dread,
I'm watching myself gorge online and I just keep feeding him
Everything and everyone seems so much better
Everything seems so perfect on social Media
(Social Media)

🎵 Why So Cringe? – An AI-Generated Anthem of Confusion and Secondhand Embarrassment 🎵

From TikTok tantrums to Roblox romances and 500 layers of lip gloss, “Why So Cringe?” dives deep into the Gen Alpha rabbit hole with all the nuance of a confused millennial screaming into the void.

Created by AI, but powered by the unfiltered chaos of YouTube Shorts and slime ASMR, this track is a love letter (and mild roast) to a generation that communicates exclusively in capcut edits and 😭 emojis.

✨ Featuring:

A synth line more dramatic than their daily “core aesthetic” change

Lyrical shade thrown like it’s a group chat fight

And a breakdown that sounds like Fortnite building under pressure

If you've ever asked, “What the hell is a rizzler?” or feared the wrath of a 9-year-old with 3 iPads and no bedtime, this one’s for you.

My Generation

Welcome to Optimal Reach Collective Artists (ORCA)! This is a musical and visual arts project involving 41 virtual artists given life through Artificial Intelligence. My music can be found on Instagram under Orcasongs and on Youtube as Optimal Reach Collective Artists.

All lyrics are original and I am the sole writer on all songs posted. The instrumentals, vocals, music videos, and album art are generated in collaboration with multiple A.I softwares. Songs are explicit and for adults, lyrics are in the description. Thank you for visiting and having an open mind to emerging technology and ways it can be used to enhance our artistic abilities.

My goal with this project is to learn to better use generation tools, dispel stigma about them, and show that A.I music and virtual A.I artists can be as enjoyable and commercially viable as conventional music. I own the rights to all music and characters posted here, the characters, situations, views, are entirely fictional and for entertainment purposes only. If you would like to use any of my songs in your videos or other projects reach out through email at: optimalreach3@gmail.com, thanks!
