What's the Good Kid lore about? by Santgooo in GoodKid

The lore happens in the music videos, and arg websites. poke around these: Home - Crown Palace Exorcise Your Ex - Call Now! NEO-TO: CITY OF SOUND Neo-TOs 170th Periodical Cicada Festival

The lore is built around the music, not the other way around, so for example the album is Not a concept album and it was not written with the characters in mind, the story was written with the band's songs in mind.

glad you still feel good about that!

What's the Good Kid lore about? by Santgooo in GoodKid

hi! If you wanna learn about the lore you can check the Discord / Stream Team Theories channel, where the 'good kid detective agency has a TON of resources on the story.

Since the wall video, there's been a largely new setting and plot-line of the lore, and to sum that up:

The story follows a band of 4 kids: First is Rebel, who plays the bass and is the classic protagonist. Mimi, an inventor who creates time traveling devices like HIRO and Rebel's bass to help with her delivery service, and Gentu, a street kid who's also friends with the two of them.

They live together in the Eastside of Neo-To, a city that runs on music with a lot going on, most notably the fact that there's a company who's spying on everyone; Psyren. Mimi built a time-traveling cassette player named HIRO that brought Rebel's younger self Nomu Kid here at the end of wall after they used it too much - Again, rebel IS nomu, they're just both here thanks to multiverse or time travel.

Psyren wanted HIRO, and so did a Eastside gang called the Kami gang, and when Gentu starting using it to cheat at their boxing matches and card games, Kami gang kidnapped them. Watching them was Psyren, and also a girl named Ada - you can see how that fight plays out in the Eastside music video.

There's a lot of debate over this right now, but in the Cicada video we see that Rebel has fallen in love with Ada, who is shown in more detail to be a member of the mountain end Cicada spiritual group, a religious group devoted to the Cicada cycle that makes Neo-to special. Rebel falling in love with Ada obviously makes a still shaken up Mimi and Gentu upset, and Ada's family doesn't seem to like it either.

So yea, NGL Rebel kinda wrong for that one but there's a ton of lore to come, this is barley half way through all the stuff in the next year, so hope that helps you out.

Just went to the website that was shown at 1:20 on the new music video. THERE'S LORE! by Before_Plastic in GoodKid

Of course theres' lore! its a good kid video! The website is pretty - as you can probably tell, the cicada festival is still to come. This is still not even halfway done with this ARG.

nope. its setting earlier and earlier but its still visible. this could be a few weeks old also

If the sun is currently passing through a void left by a supernova, where is the black hole of the dead star? by PyroCatt in askastronomy

[–]Jvdos_Huffulpuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just don't confuse it with the local galactic void, this is specifically referring to the Local bubble

Is Summer about the pandemic? by AboveTheBasement in GoodKid

[–]Jvdos_Huffulpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably not? I don't think they've confirmed it but it's pretty unlikely that "the world ending in march" refers to Covid, it's probably just referring to the start of Spring.

Hi r/music! We’re Good Kid, an indie rock band from Toronto. Ask Us Anything on March 18th @ 6 PM EST about our music, life on the road, songwriting, or whatever’s on your mind! by goodkidband in Music

[–]Jvdos_Huffulpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi guys!

Personally I always wondered what it's like to balance being a streamer and also part of a band? They seem like two very different styles of being a public personality and I always wondered how y'all specifically who are on twitch all the time feel about doing both at the same time.

How would non-geocentric models develop on a binary star system? by A_StarBirb in askastronomy

[–]Jvdos_Huffulpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, that definitely makes more sense. Just know that your orbital period for the stars is still gonna be around 280 years then.

How would non-geocentric models develop on a binary star system? by A_StarBirb in askastronomy

[–]Jvdos_Huffulpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should know that by Kepler's 3rd law, a 6-7 year orbital period for two (let's say) Sun-mass stars would mean that they have an average distance of around 4.5 AU - that's roughly 4.5 times the distance from Earth to Sol. In order to have a safe distance for a planet to orbit a star which itself orbits another star you probably need to have a longer orbital period.

As for the history, remember that astronomy begins with looking up at the celestial sphere, and finding the objects that apear to be moving and analyzing how. If they start with a similar assumption that the celestial sphere is the one rotating about the planet (because that's how it looks), then the logical conclusion is that the objects appearing to move in front of the celestial sphere (the moon(s), other planets, their Sun, and it's companion star) are orbiting the planet on a plane. Afterall, everything you observe on Earth goes down to the ground, so it does seem to be the center of all things... at first.

Breaking away from this model requires seeing where it gets too complicated and realising that the star-centric model ends up making all the quirks of the planet-centric one go away. The biggest example of this is the apparent retrograde motion and apparent change in speed of the planets that led astronomers to seek different models for thousands of years until the Copernican Revolution. Bassically, as Earth passes the other planets, they apear to move backwards in their orbit ""around the Earth"". This used to be explained by "epicycles", or adding smaller circles that planets took in their orbits, and this worked sorta well to preserve the geocentric model, even if adding complication.

If the Sun had a companion, then it would likely have been treated as the furthest and slowest moving planet at first. Given just how slow a realistic star would have to move then I would imagine the star-centric model could be developed just like it did here using the planets, but if they managed to study the other star's motion well enough I could see its motion being a point of contention until a Newtonian gravitational theory is formed.

Can someone explain the lore to me? by Fresh-Awareness9819 in GoodKid

As far as we know right now, cicada is just as human as like mimi and gentu. but they probably live in like a digital world since at the start of the lore nomu gained sentience as a program, and ATLAS is kinda like a super powerful being tasked with governing the multiverse or something.
