Isn't this kind of alleged narcissistic toxicity pretty common in the DJ business to begin with? What is to be gained by posting this publicly? Any catharsis acquired doing this is its own form of toxic narcissism imho.
However, I do think she's a bit of a flavor of the month type, so if this rant is largely true, seems like she's going to burn enough bridges her talent won't be able to overcome in the long term.

DW has been posting these Gou rants to his personal FB for a couple of years now. I'm not sure why he felt the need to take it into public realms.
PG is such a huge brand that this will have about as much impact on her career as a fly trying to take down an elephant.
I'm not sure why the so called underground of dance music gets upset by all this kind of (alleged) behaviour. I feel they should expect nothing from mainstream dance culture, ignore it and come to the realisation it is a separate world based entirely on being as famous / popular as possible no matter what that might take. Also, the sooner the "underground" stops aspiring to embrace the tropes of mainstream dance culture the better. So-called undergrounds are much, much better off when they devote less energy to trying to make the mainstream change and stop perceiving the mainstream as some sort of mirror image.

man the two times he brings up mental illness in his very misguided post (first, deriving it from her appearance, then deriving it from her tendency to center herself when writing about recently-deceased legends (don't care to confirm if this is true or not in the first place)), it is totally fucking offensive, that is all i wanna say

This 100 times, and it also applies in many other genres as well as media realms. Poetry and literature in particular would do well to dispense with the ridiculous idea that self-publishing, for example, is somehow "lesser than," which is one that has creeped into even the more strident, experimental realms of US poetry in recent years. It's disappointing and it sucks.

maybe the audience on the other side of the camera are having the time of their lives but i find it hard to imagine this was an enjoyble experience for her.
one thing about this kind of video clip troll stuff is that it brings out all the old miserable gits with their "clubs are all shit now" vibes. they are not. 99.9% of clubs are nothing like this.

i can't be bothered to have an opinion on this. however i will note that it is actually the closest she's gotten to the sort of thing daniel wang might be into. might be what hamildan was getting at ...

also i was pretty alarmed because at first it seemed that she was covered with bruises, like a mishandled potato. but on second thought i think those are how tattoos look through a sheer, filmy bodysuit that she's wearing under her outfit. it kinda looks like what an olympic ice dancer might wear!

it's basically ATB's "9pm (Til I Come)" for 2023 though. I'm actually more surprised at how long it's taken for these kind of festival headline acts to have chart success - I thought it would be Patrick Topping or Bicep who would have beat her to a massive crossover hit.
