About

Cannot Believe We Used to Listen to This Unironically refers to a series of bait-and-switch videos in which the caption is combined with the music video for 100 gecs' "Money Machine." The posts, which appeared in late 2023 and 2024, lead people to believe that they are critical of 100 gecs' music and the band's fans, while the audio is actually replaced with another song.
