Estonian industrial artist Evestus releases anti social media video single: ‘Happy Being Dead’
The Estonian industrial artist Evestus has released an anti social media video single: “Happy Being Dead”. The track is a standalone single and will not be on the new album, “Monster I’ve Become”, that’s currently being mastered by Paul Logus and is planned for release next year.
About the idea behind the song Evestus says: “The idea for this song came to me when someone said – if you’re not online – you might as well be dead. And I realized, sometimes, I’d RATHER be dead than whoring on social media. I’m from the 90’s, I was who I am even before social media. So I don’t really care what people think about me. I don’t need any validation, a pat in the back or a cheer from a stranger.”

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
