Bc 80% of this site is weirdos that have gimmicks on here
Maybe the word is overly reductive, and I think it’s stupid to apply it to gkmc but idk...
Gimmick-a trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or business.
The world we live in, you need some kind of trick or device to attract attention. Honestly from this definition it doesn’t even seem as negative as people seem to use it. All these artists have teams who come up with ways to get attention, marketing is basically just gimmick making. To relate it to the recent example, I support Lil Nas X but I don’t think I could really argue that the shoes and video aren’t a gimmick based on that definition, the video/single release was of course designed and intended to attract attention as pretty much any video/single is
In social media era you need gimmicks, I don’t think it’s that bad tho

Is it a gimmick to be authentic
or is it authentic to be a gimmick?
Ya slander 3.15.20, but that might be one of the least gimmicky albums in recent time. Relied on nothing but the music
Honestly, I'm cool with gimmicks as long as artists don't half ass the music in the process.
Kanye had a song called "I Am a God" that caused some backlash on Yeezus but that album is totally flames so the gimmicky aspect of that is A-OK with me.
Most artists don't have Ye's talent to pull that off though.
Alot of things are gimmicks now tho.
Niggas mad cause other niggas calling out blatant gimmicks like Lil Nas X
Ever heard of “call it like I see it”? Lmao
Every time an artist does something people always cry about how they are resorting to gimmicks. What are y'all even defining as a gimmick? Cause ive even seen people on here claim GKMC is a gimmick album.
Well u can’t spell gimmick without GKMC
Edit: this was just a gimmick I was doing

anybody who slanders that album loses credibility with me because that s*** is amazing
I will admit I didn't give it a fair shot at first release cause the song titles just being time stamps wasn't appealing to me but I f***ing love that s*** now
Because they want everyone to be as boring as Drake
Drake is boring because he relies on gimmicks
