God bless Harmony Korine's DmC!!!!!!
Fashion Model Cole Mohr stars in a fascinating time capsule of the last dying gasp of the late 2000's misanthropic Hot Topic nu-metal scene that existed between the downfall of VH1 and the looming rise of ~ influencer culture ~ !!!!!!!! SKRILLEX IS MY LIFE and the CW's Supernatural RULES and iM noT a PaWn 2 MaSs mEdiA and vocally slut shaming Paris Hilton/the Kardashians and wanting them to Graphically Die is mega awesome and ok actually!!!! if this came out 3 years later it would have like a Swaggy Kpop Raver vibe and if it came out now it would probably just be Assassination Nation or Euphoria!!! it is a total reflection of such an era-specific "atrocious corporate content 4 edgy teenz" attitude and i LOVE THAT ABOUT IT as an anthropological artifact AND as like a bizarro world version of the original DMC series and its own dedication to (an also very strange concept of) sTyLE!!!!!! IMO this is a legitimately interesting, if kind of vomitous and inexcusable, piece of the cultural record because of how well it encapsulates all these puerile and venomous trends across SO many axes!! We need 2 maintain a historical record of our aesthetic crimes so as never 2 repeat them!!!!
also it's pretty decently put together and a totally solid action game!
