listen, it’s 20256, you got to have a gimmick if you actually want to make it big in anything remotely “mainstream”. you think zoomers have the attention span to just watch someone in a suit sing?
Thank u for getting the reference but I really want to know. Is this some new acceptable form of blackface? Does he slather putty on himself? Is it a mask?
Blackface implies caricature. This isn’t attempting to be African American.
His visual media has quite a bit of this transhumanist stuff showing people made out of different materials, Hate or Glory shows a maniac who gets cast into gold for pleasure.
Considering he was working with Lady Gaga, who is also known for these extreme runway looks, I would say it was quite appropriate.
I’m glad you provided a serious answer, because I thought the bottom picture was just a joke and not a reference to an actual person or thing that had happened.
True, although in many of the comics I read in my youth (mostly 1980s) Kurt was depicted as a very dark blue to the point that they made significant amounts of him look black.
This might be the only appropriate time to ask why is he black?
He wears a mask at his shows
is this a new thing? he has the famous (?) smoking drop gif (from a viol live)

That’s Nightcrawler from the X-Men. Be kind to Kurt - his childhood was a real circus!
He’s black, not blue, so Sunspot or Obsidian maybe.
