5 Musicians Whose Digitally Reconstructed Faces Will Scare Future Generations

4. Iggy Pop

iggy-pop First of all, I€™m not even convinced Iggy will be dead by 2400 as he€™s already 300 years old, so he€™s probably got a while left yet. If, unfortunately, he does meet his demise at some point in the next 387 years, then it probably won't even be necessary to digitally regenerate him. I reckon that when they finally find his skull his hair will still be attached, thicker than ever, and the rest of his skeleton will pretty much resemble his ever-bare torso as it is now. He€™ll just look even more hungry than normal. When his face appears on the screen, he€™ll almost definitely look like he does in those insurance adverts, giving the anonymous future the great privilege of being exposed to the face of a great man who even manages to make selling out look absurdly cool. The only downside to this is that when our society is completely misrepresented as a community of reptile-like, gender-confused rockers, the creepy little marionette version of Iggy also found in the adverts will inevitably be cruelly laughing at us as it burns in hell for eternity.

I am a third year English student at the University of Southampton attempting to use my interest in music and films in a mildly productive manner. I hope it has worked.
