Welcome to our epic HQ, the nerdvana of music production, where we go to work every day with the motto "Uncool is the new cool." Our studio, Public Embarrassment and The Not-So-Funky Bunch, celebrates all the things others find embarrassing—because if you're still looking for the perfect Instagram filter, you just haven't leveled up in real life.

Ugly is the new rebellion

While others engage in endless selfie battles, we prefer the glitch look. Instead of airbrushing out imperfections, we revel in 8-bit edges, pixelate reality, and hack filters so that everything just blips and flops . Why? Because we all know that real life doesn't have a cheat code menu—and ugliness, just like good bug-fixing, makes us human.

Dancing or seizure – who cares?

Our dance floor sometimes looks like a scene from a post-apocalyptic cyber LARP: LED tube lights flicker to the beat while we drag ourselves across the floor in irregular pixel frames. Traditionalists say we're faking epileptic seizures. But hey, if that means we can feel the bass in every synapse, then we don't really care about that accusation.

Not being invited is full 2024

Sure, it hurts not to be on other people's party mailing lists. But let's be honest: Our meetups are cooler when they're filled with cosplay, retro gaming nights, and Atari-style synth battles. Everyone who was picked last in sports in high school or who has their Advanced Dungeons and Dragons dice ready instead of their phone is welcome here.

Belonging? That was yesterday

Who needs a VIP pass to anything when you can spend your time forging laser swords and programming MIDI sequencers instead? In a world where everyone wants to be perfect, we embrace imperfection. Our studio software sometimes crashes, our melodies sound like shaky Game Boy sounds—and that's exactly our signature style.

We're the nerd collective who'd rather stumble over patch cables than be trapped in a pristine Instagram world. We scrape our ideas together until they glitch, creak, and sound paradoxically brilliant. Wherever others try to conform, we turn up the volume with our 16-bit low-frequency oscillator.

So feel invited—or not, because that's the joke. We'll just keep turning our nerdy dials up to the max, in an endless loop of self-deprecation, embarrassment, and utterly uncool. Here at Public Embarrassment and The Not-So-Funky Bunch, everyone is as nerdy, imperfect, and unique as they want to be—beyond any filter utopia.
