Influences:Jimmy Eat World, No Doubt, Cyndi Lauper, Elvis Presley, BlondieOn the surface, Poppy (formerly called "That Poppy") is a teenage pop singer from Los Angeles who releases music on the Internet and also doubles as a YouTuber who frequently posts promotional vlogs. Take a quick glance at these vlogs, however, and you'll quickly notice that's she's... odd.In reality, "Poppy" is a musical art project based on the persona of singer-songwriter Moriah Rose Pereira (born January 1, 1995). The project was initially started in 2011 under similar names (including "Moriah Poppy"), and gained a small following for Pereira covering well-known songs as well as releasing a few original songs and music videos (many of which have been removed from YouTube, but can still be found online if you look hard enough).In 2014, Pereira partnered with director Titanic Sinclair (real name Corey Mixter), which led to Poppy being revamped into the surreal performance art project synonymous with the name today. In layman's terms, her new image was a bizarro take on standard teen/bubblegum pop stars with light J-pop elements, although she was anything but standard. The project ran on strange, abstract videos with subject matter such as her teaching you how to load a pistol, spinning around for three minutes, interviewing a plant, and listing the names of famous people, all presented with a pastel color palette and creepy, hypnotic aesthetic. Recurring themes in the videos consisted of her strange obsessions with technology, celebrity culture and the Internet, with surrounding motifs including mind manipulation, cults, and the occult. These themes were further reflected in the official music she began releasing around this time, which resided in the genres of ambient and synthpop.Like Poppy herself, the videos were intentionally strange and difficult to understand, described by Sinclair as "a combination of Andy Warhol's pop accessibility, David Lynch's creepiness, and Tim Burton's zany comedic tone," made to be the "strangest part of your day." With the occasional overt comedy/sarcasm, uncomfortable unfamiliarity, and admittance from the creators that most of the content didn't have an actual intentionally-placed meaning, this era of Poppy could be defined as a strange bit of "post-irony" or a running satire/commentary on Internet culture to a perpetually undefined extent. Regardless, the videos attracted a huge online community attempting to decipher their true meanings, whether they existed or not. Further blurring the line between fiction and reality was Poppy's strict maintenance of her persona on other online channels, and allegedly offline and in public, too.However, Poppy would spend the late 2010s steadily distancing herself from this image in her content and appearance, showcasing a maturing of her character. Her bubbly pop music began to adopt experimental, PC Music-reminiscent elements before crossing over completely into Japanese alt idol-esque rock, mixing elements of genres including alternative/indie music, industrial music, and various flavors of metal. Her lyrics (all written by Pereira from the start) began sharing more defiant and rebellious attitudes with the character's themes blending in the mix. Her videos saw an increase in production value and transitioned into mostly makeup tutorials that may be the least outwardly weird that Poppy content has ever been; she has since returned to more abstract videos with her trademark darkness and surrealism. As for her persona, Poppy ditched her blonde pastel look for dark hair and gothic fashion, and her public demeanor — while still considered a character — is now significantly toned down in terms of the robotic quality once associated with her, with more of her genuine personality allowed to shine through.This evolution would culminate in December 2019, weeks after taking Sinclair's directing credits off of many of her videos and outright removing others from her YouTube channel, when Poppy announced the dissolution of their partnership. In her statement, she accused Sinclair of emotionally manipulative behavior, attempting to continue that behavior with former friends, and subtly acknowledged another person who had also accused him of such behavior: singer-songwriter Mars Argo.note Titanic Sinclair previously collaborated with Argo (real name Brittany Alexandria Sheets) from 2009 to 2015. Through the band and YouTube channel that they started, Argo was known for portraying a fictionalized version of herself online and uploading content that heavily satirized Internet culture, much like what Poppy would become famous for. Argo later sued both Sinclair and Poppy for copyright infringement in 2018, claiming they both copied her for the Poppy project. Argo also accused Sinclair of "severe emotional and psychological abuse and manipulation" and claimed Poppy was a knowing accomplice, which she has denied. Argo settled out of court with Sinclair, and the copyright case against Poppy was dismissed.Has nothing to do with that other Poppy or those brothers named Poppy, and none of them will put them to sleep.On July 10, 2019, a graphic novel was released which claims to be the definitive answer to dispel all the conspiracy theories in regards to Poppy.Her video channel is here. Her Vevo channel is here. | |

Darker and Edgier: A few songs on Am I A Girl feature Poppy dabbling in much more dark and aggressive musical direction than her usual Synth-Pop fare, with "Play Destroy" and "X" being heavily inspired by Nu Metal. I Disagree and the Choke EP features Poppy delving even deeper into a darker, metal/industrial-inspired sound, exchanging much of the cheery pop veneer for the creepier, ominous, and quietly sinister aspects of her character. | |

My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: Many have interpreted "Freedom Song" as this, since it consists of Poppy singing the American national anthem with her voice densely autotuned so that it deliberately sounds off-key and artificial. People see the fakeness in Poppy's modified voice as akin to the fakeness of America's freedom. | |

Becoming the Mask | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_44606d14 | comment |
Becoming the Mask: During the Titanic Sinclair era, Poppy was basically her persona all the time (at least in public), to the point where any work of hers during the area is really hard to determine in what's part of the "act" and what isn't. Some fans have alleged that she even did this in person, with Poppy herself even admitting that she and her "persona" may as well be the same person now. Following the split from Sinclair, this has been largely thrown out. While Poppy still exists as a persona in videos and other work, Moriah's increased out-of-character presence in social media and press makes it clear that it's just a character to briefly inhabit. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: If you go back to her earliest videos, you can see that Poppy's voice was originally a bit deeper and closer to Moriah's natural voice before she consolidated the high-pitched voice she uses now. Her earlier works leaned more on folk-pop covers of popular songs, and her voice was more high pitched but natural sounding. She also tended to do vlogs and show up on other Youtube friends' videos. | |

One of the most infamous examples is when Poppy's nose starts to bleed as she stares into the camera at the very end of "Am I okay?". This also sometimes affects her music, which often plays as innocent-sounding before briefly dipping into something creepy and strange, then suddenly going back to normal like nothing happened. An example from "My Style": | |

Gratuitous Japanese | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_5558641 | comment |
Gratuitous Japanese: Some of Poppy's aesthetic borrows from Japanese Pop Music and its culture, so it's inevitable. She once called herself a "kawaii, pop-guitar, Barbie-doll princess", and she has the J-Pop-inspired song "Moshi Moshi" (a general "telephone hello"). | |

Sincerity Mode | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_5717e34 | comment |
Most of her songs have hints of parody or are just plain creepy in context, but "Pop Music" is an uncharacteristically sincere and reflective ode to pop music, and how even though it can be annoying, you can still appreciate and like it. Musically, it's also a stripped-back acoustic ballad, making it heavily stand out from her general Synth-Pop sound. | |

"I Am Great!" Song | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_5924ccb2 | comment |
"I Am Great!" Song: "Bleach Blonde Baby" is essentially Poppy's anthem to perfection, with her boasting her natural and almost divine perfection and beauty. "Chic Chick" plays it a different way, essentially being her version of a Self-Empowerment Anthem, dissing anyone daring to question her strong, independent attitude. | |

The exponentially growing influence of technology, namely the need to feel validated on the internet and social media, as well as its consequences in changing humanity in the future. The entertainment world in general, and the pros and cons of it all, including the obsession people have with celebrities and glamorizing celebrity culture. Poppy herself claims: | |

Formula-Breaking Episode | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_670db7d7 | comment |
Formula-Breaking Episode: "Where Did Everyone Go?" is radically and notably different than all the other promotional videos. First, it breaks the fourth wall, and shows Poppy walking around the set. Second, it shows Poppy leaving the set. Third, it has a tense and suspenseful tone, akin to a horror movie. "He Loves Me Not", rather than being unsettling, weird, eccentric, creepy-cute, or comedic like all the other videos, is unequivocally sincere and emotional. The "Everybody Wants to Be Poppy" series is unique in that it's animated. 3:36 (Music to Sleep To) drastically stands out from the rest of Poppy's pop discography, as it's a full-blown ambient album. Most of her songs have hints of parody or are just plain creepy in context, but "Pop Music" is an uncharacteristically sincere and reflective ode to pop music, and how even though it can be annoying, you can still appreciate and like it. Musically, it's also a stripped-back acoustic ballad, making it heavily stand out from her general Synth-Pop sound. | |

Uncanny Valley | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_6b5a92dc | comment |
Uncanny Valley: Poppy's way of speaking is... approximately how a normal person would speak, but not quite. And half the time, she doesn't look into the camera, but somewhere far away off-screen. As discussed by Titanic, the speech and sound is dubbed over / added in, and sometimes ever so slightly out of sync. This creates an unsettling/fake feel. Titanic Sinclair also does this on his YouTube channel. This trope even bleeds into the music itself, namely her straight pop tracks after 3:36 (Music to Sleep To). While it still remains as catchy and bright pop, some compositions can get creepily dissonant at times, and her lyrics can occasionally tread into weird territory (leaning on obsessions to technology, strange double entendres or allusions to something more sinister), vague enough to be easily missed, but unnerving once you notice it. | |

Vague Age: Intentionally. She doesn't make her real legal age public, and according to one of her videos, the character forgot how old she is. Some sources say the character is fifteen, which falls in line with the lyrics of "American Kids" and "Money", as well as the date (01/01/01) given in "Happy Birthday to Poppy", but Moriah is actually 23, being in fact born on 01/01/1995.

Propaganda Piece: Invoked ironically. Motifs of mind-control, cult-like indoctrination, and psychological persuasion show up from time to time. Sometimes Poppy will suddenly say something along the lines of "Will you do anything I say?" This reaches new heights in the video "They have taken control."

The meaning of the number itself is unconfirmed, though it's been proposed to be an inside referencenote The most popular being that it's referencing Titanic Sinclair's previous Mars Argo project, as it's the length of their last video. | |

The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Inverted in "Poppy Reacts to Kids React to Poppy". For her reaction, she starts speaking in unison with the recorded Poppy in the videos the kids reacted to, which is weird, but not unthinkable, because they're her videos. Things get weird in the middle, though, when she speaks in unison with one of the kids, despite never seeing their reaction before. The question she syncs up with? "Poppy, are you a robot?" | |

And it was so., she stresses the last word with an almost Valley Girl-style inflection, turning it into an "And it was... sooooooo..." | |

Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_a1267c41 | comment |
Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight: Poppy (mostly as a character, as far as we know) has a love-hate relationship with music, but she 100% loves being loved and expressing herself via art and the internet. And the money. | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_a426ae28 | comment |
Multiple-Choice Past: Much like the Vague Age setup, this was done intentionally. Official sources say she comes from Boston, Massachusetts but moved to Nashville, Tennessee when she was 13. In her song "Money" she says that at 15, she moved out of her parents' home and lived for a short time alone. She says in her video "My Past" that she has done some bad things as well that when she is thinking about it, it feels foggy and it doesn't exist. Similar to the Trope Namer. | |

Retool | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_b2283870 | comment |
Retool: Following her split from Titanic Sinclair, the format of Poppy as a project has shifted in a few significant ways. Regarding the entire Poppy persona, Moriah has become more open to acting and speaking "out of character," running her social media as herself, not Poppy. The YouTube videos have shifted to a more down-to-earth tone, mainly consisting of makeup tutorials. Some aspects like Poppy's soft-spoken delivery, eerie ambient soundtrack, and the occasional surreal creeps are still present, but the general aesthetic appears to be much more personal than her Sinclair-era repertoire. As for a shift that was already beginning while she was partnered with Sinclair, her discography shifted significantly from quirky bubblegum pop to metal, fully committing to the sound with I Disagree onward. | |

Leave the Camera Running | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_b2af79fb | comment |
Leave the Camera Running: There are lots of unsettling pauses between Poppy's lines in her videos, as well as scenes that go on for far longer than they should. A good example is "Do you ever think about God", where Poppy asks the question of the video title and then stares at the camera silently for 53 seconds before saying something else. At the end of the music video for "Computer Boy", the song ends, she kisses the screen of the supposed "computer boy", the body-suited men take it away... and Poppy continues to smile and stare at the camera for a good 15 seconds in complete silence. The trick is repeated with a twist in the video for "X", ending with a blood-drenched Poppy smiling at the camera for about the same amount of time... and then leaving with a cheeky wink to the audience. | |

Character Shill: Done ironically. Poppy spends an entire video talking about how awesome Tide is, and the video title is simply "Tide commercial". Done again in "The beginning of infinity" when Poppy blurts out that the episode was sponsored by Mr. Clean magic eraser. Also done sincerely, though in an overly on-the-nose manner that can come off as humorous—done because the character really likes money. | |

Meaningless Meaningful Words: One has to wonder whether this is a major case of this. Of course a lot of the videos have some meaning behind them, but others, just seem meaningful but aren't.

Indecisive Parody | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_d7a92919 | comment |
Indecisive Parody: invokedDue to the nature of Poppy's videos, it's occasionally unclear as to what she's supposed to be satirizing; is it shallow image-obsessed pop music, shallow Mind Screw conceptual art projects, or nothing in particular? Of course, it seems Poppy and Titanic Sinclair are aware of this, and part of the fun can be picking out what's actually supposed to be commentary and what's just meant to be creepy. This also bleeds into her music, with some tracks hinting a lot more about Poppy's character than others. Poppy.Computer in particular has just as many tracks that make a comment satirizing pop music/celebrity culture/technology as there are pop tracks that completely play it straight. | |

Poppy's way of speaking is... approximately how a normal person would speak, but not quite. And half the time, she doesn't look into the camera, but somewhere far away off-screen. As discussed by Titanic, the speech and sound is dubbed over / added in, and sometimes ever so slightly out of sync. This creates an unsettling/fake feel. Titanic Sinclair also does this on his YouTube channel. | |

Cult | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_e5411cdf | comment |
Cult: With her almost charismatic nature, her soothing tone of voice, and her hypnotic cadences, Poppy almost seems like a cult leader at times, especially in conjunction with the mind control motifs. Commenters on her videos often say they feel like they're being brainwashed. It's highly likely that this is because of Titanic Sinclair's interest in how people often treat celebrities like gods. Further corroborated by the "Poppy is God" thing (see Biblical Motifs). Titanic also likely took notice of viewers' responses and let the cult motifs run wild in later vids, making it overtly apparent starting with "They Have Taken Control". And now she has membership rings. And pins. And now she's straight up using the C-word. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Charlotte was formerly a news reporter who interviewed Poppy before concluding that she could be better than her. Becoming addicted to drugs, she tried to bribe the plant into giving her money to further fuel her habits to the point she neglected and abused her son Child Quin. When asked about her son, Charlotte grows furious and chokes Poppy. Instead of apologizing, Charlotte instead denies the incident, accusing Poppy of being selfish. | |

The Oner: The latter half of the "Lowlife" music video is shot in one take. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl: The spoken word bridge to "Computer Boy" heavily implies this regarding her "computer boy": | |

The Illuminati | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_ed61457c | comment |
The Illuminati: Poppy's producer, Titanic Sinclair, drew influence from Illuminati mythos in directing the "Lowlife" video. This is explained in more detail in Night Mind's "Who Is Poppy?" video. Lots of triangle and eye motifs appear in her videos, too. | |

Subverted Catch-Phrase | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_edd714c9 | comment |
Subverted Catchphrase: "Oh" is an eerie example, as she can only barely say "Hi, I'm-" before cutting herself off for whatever reason multiple times. | |

Product Placement | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: One time, Poppy made the strangest Mr. Clean ad ever. See Enforced Plug above. This intentionally awkward line from "young girl makes crazy video on Youtube". | |

Fake Interactivity | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_f96efb51 | comment |
Fake Interactivity: Poppy will sometimes ask the viewers a question, then continue talking as if they had given an answer. This creates a mock-kids'-show feel. An example with fake audience sound effects can be found in "Poppy's Line Dance". Done in a slightly more unsettling way in "Step 1." And again in "Step 2." Done again in "A Microphone." | |

Fun with Subtitles | |
| Poppy (Music) / int_fdb355db | comment |
Fun with Subtitles: “Fun� may not be the operative word here given how disturbing the subtitles on some of her You Tube videos can get, for instance Helicopter starts with just a basic description of the sound effects but ends with someone begging the audience to save Poppy from something instead of just passively watching. | |
