@DORIANELECTRA I love your music but can you 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘒𝘴𝘦 tell me why you get an object smashed on your dome in like EVERY music video?? I beg you. (headsmash GIFs below lol)
Okay, strap in y& #39;all

We got the one that started this mess, from Career Boy. It& #39;s just a grade A reaction GIF. But after using it a bunch I was like, oh wait, don& #39;t they get a thing smashed in one other music video? I was a child then.
Then I flip over to the other one I thought of (Man to Man) and we get TWO smashes. Incredible
This one was probably the most influential for the portrait (Adam & Steve) And after seeing this I was like "oh okay, there& #39;s a few vids with this head smash situation, cool"

I would never be cool again.
Months pass. The video for Sorry Bro (I love You) drops. It is 91 seconds long. 80 seconds into the video my heart sinks because there has not yet been a head smash. Dorian wouldn& #39;t do me dirty like that
This is the turning point where I begin to wonder how deep this goes. I start really combing through every single video, even ones I was certain there was no break in. How foolish I was then (Daddy Like)
This one is the only one where the substance is not solid or a liquid (also one of my personal fav tacks Guyliner) so you gotta throw it up for that.
Flamboyant
This one stands out to me cause not only was it done under quarantine, but it isn& #39;t even Dorian exclusive; this is off the remix for 100 gecs remix album Tree of Clues (gec 2 u)

This is a remix, but despite that they have invaded into other artist& #39;s music videos with the smash
The pre-Flamboyant era is where the smashes fall off for some of their music videos, but there& #39;s still some in there. Here we got Jackpot (also first appearance of their trademark pencil stache I THINK)
and then VIP. This is one of my favs just cause how absolutely over the top everything is. What an assault to the senses. Inspiring.
AND THEN FINALLY...their most recent...Give Great Thanks. Another quarantine made vid, and despite the weird found footage serial killer cam mood they& #39;re rockin, they still work in a smash. Who is this mystical one.
Basically this has all been to say that I feel like I& #39;ve unearthed a music video conspiracy for one of my favorite artists and it is actually destroying me keeping this knowledge to myself. I need answers. I need my liege& #39;s solution to this head smash riddle.
