Fans call Janelle Monáe ‘The Goddess of Pleasure’. Water Slide is a celebration of the slogan ‘reclaim your body’. The joy of blackness, queerness, plus size and multitude of bodies. Simple, silly moves and a lyrical provocateur.
9. Kylie Minogue: “Padam Padam”
One of this year’s pride anthems.Fans consider her as one founder of 90’s electronica. Lot of work on the kneel,neck and shoulder and it is simply electrifying.
8. Yard Act: “The Trench Coat Museum”
As per fan commentary, If a 70’s Garage Punk band had sex with an 80’s New Wave band it would give birth to this song. There is a story openly and hidden in this Trench coat museum. Look at their robotic moves first then how it transforms.
7. Cardi B: “Bongos” | ft. Megan Thee Stallion
Aggressive Cardi & slaying Megan. Vibrant spectacles of fashion induced fantasy with a technicolor tone. Red, blue, teal, yellow, hot pink, orange, lime green and purple are beautifully moving together for them.
6. Tinashe: “Needs”
Tinashe is one of the best R&B musicians of our time. She plays in between experimental and radio-phony in the ‘needs’. It seems like a budget album of one supermarket set, one camera but so many moves!
5. Jungle: “Back on 74”
Spontaneous, fluid moves. Most of the time, dancers sing. They effortlessly float and interact with each other. It’s a joy to watch bodies flowing through space. And these costumes deserve more. Production guys alert; This video is one single shot.

Britney Spears is back as Tate! She is trained as a ballet and contemporary dancer and hip-hopping hard in this video.

Hip Hop, R&B and also some Jazz.The lyrics also connect with Black American culture. And sometimes the song reminds you that to dance; you need only absurd noise or sounds, not lyrics of logic(?)
2. Troye Sivan: “Rush”
It’s very hard to stop playing once you click. It has a 90’s vibe and shows many things; pole dancing and acrobatics. It may be sexual freedom or more about sex. Good music, eye-catching photography and stunning choreography.
1. NewJeans: “Super Shy”
According to Rolling Stones, this is the sixth world’s best song of 2023. For Super Shy, K-pop becomes a girl next door band with some 70’s flavor. Good voice quality and hyperactive movements made them what they are today.
How do we explain the sum of Google’s Knowledge? No easy way and it is not about the website data stored inside the giant Google machine; The most powerful AI algorithm to match it with our search.
But still, the moment I am writing this line, Google is confused and factually wrong about whether there’s an African country beginning with the letter k.
Look at the screenshot and try it on your search engine. I searched for ““What is an African country beginning with K?”The featured snippet answer is saying “ “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter ‘K…’”Google is showing it confidently and authentically (in UX terms) to the user and none wants to visit another website to get the ‘truth’.
The answer continues and resembles an absurd response from a Silliconvelly nerd who is studying Linguistics on the weekends; “The closest is Kenya, which starts with a ‘K’ sound, but is actually spelled with a ‘K’ sound. It’s always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.”
The farce is not over. The text shown by Google is actually written by ChatGPT and fetched from Ycombinator’s hacker news page.
You may have seen the ‘Surprise Me’ button on some Generative AI sites. This is an actual and original surprise from one of the most capable algorithms in the world. The Kenya error has been reported by Christphor Ingraham in a tweet. It shows and exisitential challenge of Google and search engines in Generative AI era.
As of now, the complex algorithm fails to identify the AI generated junk and shows these untrue, nonsensical texts with a silly confidence of a Silicon valley nerd; like Sheldon Cooper from the sitcom Big Bang Theory.
Let’s wait and see how Google is going to identify AI junk and show results more accurately. Generative AI brough the existential question to Google’s head; who am I ?

Part 1 Intro of a Series Covering Brewers & Pubs of North Bangalore
Bangalore is a fantasy land of freedom and a practical dream for small town teenagers. I was one of them in my final school years. Whenever watching Hollywood films which celebrate American city culture, I never thought about going there. I wanted to be in Bangalore. I fell in love with Bangalore at first sight when I came for a family tour. I didn’t know how it happened. Now I realize that we all have a love-hate relationship with this inevitable city and its world of breweries and pubs where conversations ( even if music is too loud), first dates, breakups, love triangles, pitches, patches and everything that is not allowed in your office and our cute conservative hometown!
Ok. For serious guys, I will tell you some authentic stuff.
India’s beer culture has started changing fast in recent years. Old days were only about mass-produced lagers from well-known or brand breweries. The craft beer movement changed everything so fast. Bangalore led that movement to a revolution. Craft breweries, microbreweries, and brewpubs have sprouted up across the city, offering an array of innovative and unique brews. Lot of international mixologists and brew masters from America and other places started coming here and working just behind the walls of your pubs near me/you.
I will introduce them to you later in our video series.
Bangalore is Asking; Why Me? Because You are a city of Diboozity!
One of the key reasons why Bangalore is called the Beer Capital of India is the quality and variety of craft beers available. Brewmasters in the city have pushed the boundaries of traditional brewing, experimenting with different ingredients, flavours, brewing techniques. And stunning names also. This commitment to innovation has resulted in a diverse range of beers, from hoppy IPAs to robust stouts and fruity sours. Bangalore’s beer fandom can always find something new and exciting to tickle their taste buds.

Walking down the streets of these neighbourhoods, one can easily spot the vibrant taprooms and lively pubs where people happily partying.
Beer Tech and Tech City; How Bangalore Mixed Both ?
The strong presence of technology companies in Bangalore has indirectly contributed to the city’s beer culture. Tech-savvy professionals from all over the country and the world have made Bangalore their home, bringing with them a penchant for craft beer. The intersection of technology and beer culture has led to the development of innovative beer apps, online beer forums, and beer-tasting events. Bangaloreans use these platforms to connect, share their beer experiences, and discover new brews.
Brewery Tours and Events
Bangalore’s craft breweries often open their doors to visitors, offering brewery tours and hosting beer-related events. These experiences provide a behind-the-scenes look at the brewing process, from the selection of ingredients to the fermentation and bottling stages. It’s a great way for beer enthusiasts to gain a deeper appreciation for the craft and interact with the passionate individuals behind the brews.
Beer and Food Pairing
Brewpubs and restaurants in the city have taken the art of pairing beer with food to new heights. Whether it’s a spicy Indian curry, a juicy burger, or a plate of gourmet cheeses, there’s a perfect craft beer to complement every dish. This culinary exploration has enhanced the overall beer-drinking experience in the city.
Bangalore’s emergence as the Beer Capital of India is a testament to the city’s ability to embrace modern trends while preserving its rich cultural heritage. The craft beer revolution has not only given beer enthusiasts a reason to celebrate but has also created a thriving industry that supports local businesses and promotes innovation. Whether you’re a seasoned beer connoisseur or a newcomer to the world of craft beer, Bangalore offers an exciting and vibrant beer culture that is bound to leave you impressed and craving for more.
