Injured Ninja ‘Gulnare Funk’ (Official Video)
"We're at a loss for words, so let our actions speak from here."
Gulnare Funk is a surreal and nihilistic pop culture response to modern absurdity, where the economy of algorithm fueled entertainment thrives on nostalgic escapism and fiscal idolatry, distracting us from impending existential threats and our complicity in systemic abuse.
Weekend at Bernie's couldn't be a more apt metaphor for 2021: greedy people ignoring the dead bodies around them for their own selfish short term gain and survival in a money driven world, dressed in 1980's fashion. It would be funny, if it wasn't so morbidly depressing.
It's still pretty funny. Please like and subscribe.
Gulnare Funk is the second single from Injured Ninja's 2020 EP release: TOTAL IMPACT! MAXXX DAMAGE! ‘TOTAL IMPACT! MAXXX DAMAGE!’ EP
