Features : GREENE’s new single “Mega Thicc” is a first-rate head-banger — and porn satire

Heard in the streaming version, GREENE’s new release “Mega Thicc” is a high speed, head-banging, savagely sexy, satiric electronic rave punk takedown of American society’s addiction to porn.

Viewed through the uncensored music video on his website, it is all that plus an all-out, pornographic assault on the visual sense.

Seen through the censored version on YouTube, it also takes down the hypocritical uselessness of censorship.

“When I was making this song, I was looking at other industrial rock and rock music in general,” he said, “and I thought, ‘Well, there’s plenty of songs on heroin addiction, drug addition, alcoholism and a lot of other self-destruction, but what about a song about pornography addiction?’”

“I see porn addiction becoming more rampant nowadays, a lot more so than drug and alcohol consumption, which is kind of scary, because pornography addiction, as I’ve done my research, messes the mind up a lot more in the long term.”

Then there’s the hypocrisy about the practice of censorship. Instagram has banned some of the promotional photos for “Mega Thicc” because of the sexy outfit worn by one of the two female stars in the video, even though she is wearing “is wearing the exact same outfit on her Instagram profile.”

The YouTube version of the video is censored with photos of excerpts from what he calls “a certified educational classic” on how to make explosives.

“Even though they won’t allow me to say bad words or show nudity, it’s perfectly fine to show your audience how to make an improvised explosive at home via YouTube.”

And if the FBI comes knocking at his door, “I’ll say, ‘Listen, dude. I’ve worked with you guys before. I know the drill. Get a warrant,’ and then I’ll close the door.” He laughs.

The title of the song comes from Internet slang for hot women, slang with a purely sexual and derogatory slant. The genesis of the song came from a hotel stay when GREENE, in his Mathias Greene persona, a federal agent of some sort that he refuses to specify, was staying in a Sheraton Hotel.

Actually, from an elevator ride in that hotel.

“This old guy walks in next to me and, bada-bing, bada-boom, he’s looking at pornography right there next to me. At the end of the ride, I bluntly asked him, ‘Dude, what are you doing?’ and he said, ‘Looking at porn.’ And he walks out, just like that, which is messed up.”

GREENE’s music has a lot of message in it. His last release, “US of A,” in July, was a takedown of American greed. But, as he said in an interview about that song, his philosophy of music is this:

“Whether it’s rap, hip-hop, reggae, if your head’s bobbing, or you’re dancing, or — in my case — if you’re head banging or moshing, the music has done it’s job.”

“Mega Thicc” gets the job done. The guitars pound and scream. The beat starts off at the rate a hundred-meter sprinter’s heart hits just before the finish line.

“It’s definitely very fast-paced,” he said. “A lot of the sequences in there, the instrumentation of it, the ‘oooooooooh yeaaaaaaaaaah’ kind of deal, was inspired by Justice,” the French electronic rock duo.

Another inspiration for the song is not one you would expect from a punk rock electronic banger artist: Donna Summer.

The instrumentation, electronified, “was very much inspired by the opening sequence for Donna Summer’s ‘I Feel Love.’”

“It’s ironic because Donna Summer is singing about genuine feeling for someone she loves, whereas ‘Mega Thicc’ is you only love someone as an object for sexual pleasure. It’s very much the heads and tails of the coin of love. ‘I Feel Love’ is the heads part and ‘Mega Thicc’ is the tails part.”

“Mega Thicc,” like “US of A,” will be on his album Le Crémé De Le Meme, scheduled for release on January 6, 2025.

In the end, he has one point he wants to make clear. The slapping sound in the interlude between sequences in “Mega Thicc” is a steak being pounded.

“I didn’t actually go in the recording booth to see what was being recorded, but I’m pretty sure that’s what it was.”
