NEO 10Y’s UNSERIOUS is an anthem that vibrates at the intersection of philosophy, spirituality, and sonic evolution – a masterpiece that both frees the mind and stirs the soul. Released at the mystical hour of 00:00 on January 1st, 2025, during the Sirius alignment, the song’s unveiling is as intentional as its message: a cosmic nod to renewal, awakening, and infinite possibility. This track isn’t just music, it’s a mantra for liberation and a call to embrace the expansive potential within us all.
The Depth of UNSERIOUS: A Journey Through the Cosmos of Consciousness
From the first psychedelic drum riff, UNSERIOUS commands attention, layering ethereal pop melodies with the frenetic energy of break-beat rhythms, dubstep drops, and techno surges. It’s a soundscape where East meets West, a deliberate nod to NEO 10Y’s South Asian roots and his mission of manifesting universal love energy. The lyrical journey begins with self-affirmation:
“I am the one for me, I am the universe, I am philosophy, and disidentity.”
These words are a bold declaration of oneness, a dismantling of rigid identities, and a reminder that our essence transcends the labels society imposes. The phrase “disidentity” stands out – a poetic embrace of fluidity, of rejecting boxes and binaries in favour of something boundless. This mirrors NEO 10Y’s name, which he explains is derived from “neoteny,” a concept of retaining youthfulness and curiosity into adulthood, rooted in his Sanskrit name, Nikhil, meaning “oneness.”
The mantra-like repetition of “Make me feel free, whilst I am here at peace…” offers a meditative counterbalance to the frenetic energy of the track. It’s an invocation, a moment to pause and center oneself amidst the chaos.
The Sirius Alignment: Astrology Meets Activism
The release date – aligned with the Sirius star at the dawn of a new year – is no mere coincidence. Sirius, often called the “spiritual sun,” represents awakening and higher consciousness. This cosmic synchronization amplifies the song’s themes of renewal and transcendence. Releasing UNSERIOUS on January 1st, numerologically potent as a day of beginnings, underscores NEO 10Y’s intention to inspire us to step into our own power as creators of reality.
The title itself is a playful paradox – UNSERIOUS encourages a lighter, freer approach to life while simultaneously delivering profound truths. As NEO 10Y says:
“It’s about challenging the idea of taking life so seriously while embracing freedom and fun. Sirius, as a homophone, adds a deeper layer of cosmic alignment.”
Beyond the Music: A Protopian Vision
UNSERIOUS is a portal inviting us to biohack our reality, aligning our lives with love energy. Referencing psychedelics, adrenochrome, and consciousness-expanding practices, NEO 10Y connects ancient Vedic philosophies to modern movements for self-discovery. In his own words:
“I biohacked reality with love energy.”
This ethos pervades his artistry, activism, and lifestyle. A dedicated vegan and animal rights advocate, NEO 10Y walks his talk, embodying a compassionate and sustainable future. This alignment of action and philosophy is rare in modern music, making UNSERIOUS a beacon for those seeking purpose and connection in a fractured world.
UNSERIOUS is accompanied by an epic, high-octane, industrial music video that is a spectacle of light, energy, and dynamic choreography, edited by NEO 10Y. The video features lightning strikes and electricity emanating from the artist’s hands, creating a boundless display of power and intensity akin to a spiritual upgrade. It is a testament to the artist’s commanding stage presence and performance chops, honed through appearances at iconic venues such as the Roundhouse and Troxy, and performances for Billboard in NYC. Having graced the stages of major music festivals like Secret Garden Party and VCO, the artist brings that same electrifying energy to this visual masterpiece, merging music and movement into a truly unforgettable experience.
UNSERIOUS is as genre-expansive as it is spiritually resonant. It transcends conventional boundaries, integrating NEO 10Y’s multifaceted influences: cinematic grunge, industrial R&B, and South Asian motifs. The result is a sound both deeply personal and universally relatable, inviting us to explore our inner worlds while dancing to the rhythms of a liberated future.
As we step into 2025, UNSERIOUS feels like a guiding light. Its release during the Sirius alignment at the dawn of a new year carries a message of hope, renewal, and infinite possibility. NEO 10Y has gifted us not just a song but a spiritual roadmap, a rallying cry to choose love energy and break free from the chaos of modern life. This is a movement, a manifesto, and a moment to awaken to our highest potential.
UNSERIOUS challenges us to transcend the mundane, align with the cosmos, and step into a dimension of peace, connection, and boundless creativity. As NEO 10Y himself says:
