The most insane thing Death Grips did this year went mostly unnoticed by people who don’t spend time on 4chan arguing about whether Money Store qualifies as essential /mu/core at this point (it does, people). In the dark depths of the internet, Death Grips developed an ARG (alternate reality game); a sort of multimedia scavenger hunt that was spread over strange email addresses, obscure message board posts, creepy locations on the deep web, and encrypted files. It wasn’t the first time the fan community got caught up in one, with last year’s yielding the then-unreleased instrumentals of The Money Store. In the end the “No Hands” YouTube videos that launched this ARG led to the “Lock Your Doors” video as far as we could tell. But between all of the strange red herrings, puzzles, and arguments about whether it was even really Death Grips behind it, this was a case of the journey being more important that the destination, and a ton of excitement for any Death Grips super-fan.
