“CLOUT COBAIN | CLOUT CO13A1N” is directed at the destructive consequences which occur as a result of chasing popularity, as heavily suggested by the title. Denzel delivers this message on one hand, through the individual dealing with suicidal thoughts and paranoia. Secondly, through the people surrounding the individual, ready to sabotage and plot against them in order to acquire their own ‘clout’.
Aesthetically, the clothes Denzel is wearing on the cover art and video are eerily similar to Kurt Cobain’s prior to his death. Also, the ‘clout’ motif is an especially interesting note on modern internet culture, when considering Denzel’s link to Kurt Cobain’s infamous sunglasses, who Denzel himself had dubbed “Clout Goggles.”
