not without any merit, but so often the synth use here sounds like a casio preset in a way that's just bad, and it's late enough that someone should have done something better. apparently the casio-preset quality to some of this stuff might be ironic? but if so that doesn't make it any better and maybe makes me respect it less. I'd be much more down for a sound like this if it were an up-and-coming artist using prosumer grade gear because that's what they could get and making this earnestly than very established well known and connected musician doing this out of irony
