FatherArls: Heyhey! Welcome to this honorary interview. Featuring, some short girl and the amazing, NoNameBoyy. Come here, right here, stay here and just make yourself comfortable there in your little chair and please read along. To start off, how are you? how’s this year going for you so far?

NoNameBoyy: I had a nice day so I’m very happy, what about you?
I haven’t really seen the transition to 2021 to be honest. Late 2020 I was at home, early 2021 I’m at home

FatherArls: So glad you had a nice day; I’m super duper happy! I personally enjoy being a homebody. What do you do to pass time or what would you do if circumstances were different, after all you do live in France “city of love”? 😏

NoNameBoyy: Even though I’m at home every day due to the circumstances, I don’t have lots of free time with classes and everything. During the week, when I’m not in class, I’m either on Genius or playing video games. My weekends, on the other hand, I spend them outside, playing soccer. I admit it’s not super covid-friendly, and it would be a lie to say that we respect barrier gestures and social distancing, but there are things I can’t do without and that’s one of them

i’m eating fries 😉
the said fries haha

FatherArls: Some wise man once said, “Rules are meant to be broken’’—then he died. Jk, please be safe. In previous Tates’ you’ve mentioned, math, computer science and economic theory. What is it about economics you enjoy so much? Also, aside from my feelings what video games do you play?😃 jk

I demand you share your fries now😡

NoNameBoyy: fifty fifty, haha
I am not playing with anyone's feelings 👀
I mainly play Rocket League with @Swono (sometimes @Careblech) and also Warzone. And, yup, you’re right. I am in my first year of a 5-year degree called Data Science for Social Sciences. I have a wide range of courses but it’s very, very much focused on economics. it’s a really weird year as I barely went to university cause of corona. I only know a few people in my class, I’ve never seen other people’s faces and my teachers' faces either. What I enjoy about economics is being able to contradict those who talk about economics without knowing how it works. The economics teachers I had in high school were all left-wing, and they had a way of teaching that often glorified the left-wing and the French political system and denigrated all forms of liberalism (probably why they became teachers and not economists). Honestly, even though I didn't know much about it, I could clearly see that they were in a tunnel vision with assumptions biased by political and moral choices. When I understood this I thought: "No, this is not possible, I can't end up talking about a matrix and forgetting half of the vectors." So that's kind of what I like about economics, first of all understanding the whole mechanism and then reminding people who, in a conversation of a political nature, are trying to indoctrinate me when in fact they've forgotten a lot of things in their reasoning. ✧

FatherArls: Amazing, brilliant, fantastic! A nerd in the making! Speaking of faces, you’ve seen Swono’s face in real life. How has it been to develop a friendship with Swono outside of Genius, I also know he promoted you to be editor, how did all that happen, what was that like?

NoNameBoyy: wow, it’s such a long story. When I first joined Genius, I was doing a bit of a mess, and Swono came into my DM to tell me that I had to stop doing what I was doing. But I didn’t stop, so he yelled at me and then offered to mentor me. At first, I didn’t really care about the mentoring stuff, but after a few months, I started to really get into it. We already knew each other a little bit, and it was pretty nice and useful. I started sending him my tates and then, since we had similar musical tastes, we often took the opportunity to exchange on the music itself, etc. I was very happy to be able to share my knowledge and music with him. We really developed this relationship outside the Genius framework. And a few days after my promotion I clicked and said, “Hey bro, we live nearby, when do we meet?” We went to McDonald’s, and a few weeks later, I was in his room mistreating him on Fifa

FatherArls: I now know you’re a very stubborn fella😂 What a beautiful love story!! Did you order fries from McDonald’s? No seriously though, I see you're a big Lil Peep fan. You work a lot on him; so much in fact you’re his top scholar 😯 Enlighten us on that. Btw, i’m listening to Ghost Girl right now, hehe
NoNameBoyy: oooh you like lil peep?
jugginnn on a friday
skrrrrrrrrt

FatherArls: I love Lil Peepee, what do you mean?
who do you think i am?

NoNameBoyy: idk, how am i supposed to know
now i like you even more LOL
i mean u usually like all genres of music
Nope, I don’t know if it’s just in France but the fries at McDonald’s are bad. So I usually take potatoes
Peep probably represents close to 75% of my Genius contributions in terms of time and yes, I love his music, even a little too much. My long-term goal is to complete everything there is to complete (Archives, annotations etc.)

NoNameBoyy: is it called “potatoes” in the US too?

FatherArls: All fries at McDonald’s are called, French Fries.
They look like this

NoNameBoyy: (I’ll finish what I have to say about Peep now.)
I kind of discovered Peep on Genius, I used to know his music, but I wasn’t really into it. I was listening to him on Spotify and God knows how many masterpieces were missing before his mother started re-releasing his SoundCloud stuff. I’ve always liked Mackned, and at the time he had released an album (which is no longer on Spotify) that had a feat with Peep, “Missed Calls.” Then, by listening to it, Spotify started to put Lil Peep (and Brennan Savage, a Peep friend) in my Discover weekly playlist. And today they’re honestly the two artists that I like and listen to the most. I’m also #1 on Brennan savage

FatherArls: Perfection. Fucking amazing, you’re a literal Genius

FatherArls: Wait.. do I put all of this talk about French fries on the interview??

NoNameBoyy: It will be our little secret that the interview was disrupted by conversations about food. Conversation that is however not over. I still have some questions to ask but I will ask you later.
FatherArls: You’re going to ask me questions? This is your interview

NoNameBoyy: what do you mean lol
am I supposed to just answer ^_^

FatherArls: Well, yes. This interview is all about getting to know, the famous, the charming, NoNameBoyy
Who cares about FatherArls, she can go drown right now
The attention is on you

NoNameBoyy: the famous lol, bullshit tbh ^^

FatherArls: Maybe one day you will be famous; I just hope you remember your friends from Genius.😌Where do you see yourself in 10 years, in terms of Genius and personal life?

NoNameBoyy: To be honest, I’m someone who really lives from day to day. I don’t really have a dream or plan for my future both on Genius and in life.
In my life, I’m in school right now. And that’s where it stops. I don’t have a personal project or future dream. Maybe I see myself as an economic teacher and not much else. A strange vision of life, a form of nothingness, but that doesn’t make my life sad, on the contrary.
On the Genius side, I initially wanted to stop after Peep. I always felt that my contributions were only relevant on him. I wanted to complete his pages and then leave. But in the last few months, I’ve diversified, I’ve gained knowledge about other artists, which I’d like to share. Moreover, with get involved, friendships are created with other users, and my use of Genius has lately tended to become a bit like a social media. And all of this makes me think that my experience will never end. Only the end of Genius will put an end to it.

FatherArls: Very nice, I’m sure other user’s can relate to you. Lil Peep is an amazing artist I agree, so thank you very much for your contribution on him; and I also sincerely do wish you the best in whatever you decide to do in the future in 10 years, 2 years or 50.Hope to see you around for lots more years too!🙏🏼

NoNameBoyy: Thank you, I hope so too haha

FatherArls: Alrighty, final question for you my friend. On your annotation over your favorite quote
you said “live fast die young”– what does that mean to you?

NoNameBoyy: Wow, that’s a real existential question. I must admit that this idea of life that I’ve made was mostly forged last year. I’ve had a bit of the same kind of brainwave that we all probably have in our lives. The day we begin to think deeply about what our mentality is based on, how our education has shaped us.
I have a mom who is very interested in religion. Often when she would come home from work she would bring back the flyers that the Jehovah’s Witnesses distribute on the street. I’m not used to reading them (I never read them), but the headline is very apparent so of course, it leads us to at least read the headline. And there was this one with something written like, “The key for an everlasting life.” I had a religious upbringing, I believed in the existence of God, Heaven, and I still do. But do I care? This flyer made me think a lot. Do I want to spend my life praising God, or do I want to “screw it up” by sinning all day long? But in the end, what they call sin may not be sin for me. And that’s kind of conclusion I’ve come to, this redefinition of good and evil. I have spent too much time living the way I was supposed to be rather than the way I wanted to be. I want to enjoy life by doing what my heart and mind tell me, at my own risk. That’s kind of why I removed the last part of the quote (“live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse”). My goal is not to leave a beautiful corpse, but My corpse.
FatherArls: Wow, very deep. I’m stunned.
I applaud your mature way of thinking. That was beautifully explained and very descriptive. Anything else you’d like to say before we finish this lovely interview?

NoNameBoyy: just wanna share much love on this heart-shaped community

FatherArls: Right back at ya! I’m sure we’d all hug if we could, but we can’t; for very obvious reasons.
NoNameBoyy thank you for your time, reader thank you for your time. That’s all for tonight, take care!👋🏼
