In 2017, Poppy signed a deal with Mad Decent and released her debut studio album Poppy.Computer, which consisted of art pop and bubblegum pop songs. To promote the album, she embarked on the Poppy.Computer Tour.[2] In 2018, she released the pilot for the proposed surreal comedy online series I'm Poppy on YouTube Premium. She also released her second studio album Am I a Girl? In stark contrast to her previous style, the second half of Am I a Girl? began to show a heavy nu metal influence.
In 2020, Poppy signed to Sumerian Records and released her third studio album I Disagree, incorporating heavy metal and industrial rock. I Disagree featured visuals in her music videos which some critics described as "increasingly disturbing", "violent", and "macabre",[3] continuing the shift in her music videos that started with her second album.[4]
In 2021, Poppy's song "Bloodmoney" received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, making her the first and currently only female artist to be nominated in a metal category. That same year, she continued her long-time collaboration with professional wrestling promotion WWE and its NXT brand by releasing the metalcore soundtrack EP Eat (NXT Soundtrack). Her fourth studio album, Flux, was released three months later to critical acclaim, featuring a less harsh and more stripped-down sound than I Disagree and Eat.

Career
2011–2014: Moriah Poppy and ThatPoppyTV
Poppy began her musical career in 2011. She had her first performance at IndieCove in August 2011, her covering an Alanis Morissette song.[15] She made two YouTube channels: "Moriah Poppy", which has been deleted, and "Poppy", her current channel. Prior to 2014, she performed at social media festivals, including VidCon in June 2012 and DigiTour in June 2013.[16]
2015–2016: YouTube partnership, Bubblebath, and 3:36 (Music to Sleep To)
Poppy moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to pursue her musical career.[17] There she teamed up with director Corey Michael Mixter, known by his stage name Titanic Sinclair, to make a series of abstract promotional videos on a YouTube channel originally titled "thatPoppyTV". Though her partnership with Sinclair dissolved in 2019, as of April 2022, the channel is actively uploading videos and has attracted a large audience. In 2015, she signed to Island Records under the name That Poppy and released her debut song, "Everybody Wants to Be Poppy", in June of that year.[18] She performed at the Corona Capital Festival in November 2015.[19][20] She released the song, "Lowlife", a month after releasing her first single "Everybody Wants to Be Poppy" and released her first EP, a four-track pop record called Bubblebath, on Island in February 2016.[21][22] The EP consists of four songs; "Lowlife", "Money", "Altar", and "American Kids". In August 2016, she released a series of advertisements for the shoe company Steve Madden on her channel as a part of its Steve Madden Music program.[23]
In October 2016, Poppy released an experimental ambient music album called 3:36 (Music to Sleep To), composed by Titanic Sinclair and herself, with assistance from polysomnographists from the Washington University School of Medicine.[24]
In November 2016, she became the face of Japanese retailer Sanrio's first "Hello Sanrio" collection.[9]
2017–2018: Poppy.Computer, Poppy.Church, and Am I a Girl?

In February 2017, Poppy starred in a series of videos for Comedy Central called "Internet Famous with Poppy".[25] That September, they won a Streamy award in the category 'Breakthrough Artist'.[26]

Poppy made her YouTube Rewind debut in 2017, and was one of the few content creators to get their own lines. In March 2018, Poppy performed at the Japanese pop music festival, Popspring.[31]
On April 17, 2018, Sinclair's former partner Mars Argo filed a 44-page lawsuit in Central California court against Sinclair and Poppy alleging copyright infringement, stating that Sinclair based Poppy's online persona on theirs, as well as emotional and physical abuse Sinclair had allegedly subjected them to in the period after their separation and the subsequent abandonment of the project.[32] On May 7, Poppy made a public statement about the "frivolous" lawsuit, saying Argo was attempting to manipulate them psychologically. They called the suit a "publicity campaign" and a "desperate grab for fame".[33] The Sinclair case was settled out of court on September 14 "with no money exchanging hands"[34][35] Argo released a statement in January 2019 that all rights to Mars Argo had been returned to her as part of the settlement.[36] The copyright case against Poppy was dismissed.

On July 6, 2018, Poppy released a cover of Gary Numan's song "Metal" as a single on all digital platforms.[37] On July 27, she released the first single for the album Am I a Girl? titled "In a Minute".[38] She released the album's second single "Time Is Up", which features American DJ Diplo, on August 22.[39][40][41] She released "Fashion After All" on October 12.[42][43] "Hard Feelings" was released on October 19 and "X" was released on October 25.[44][45] In September 2018, Poppy announced on their social media that she was already working on her third studio album.[46] On September 11, Poppy's Twitter account announced an album release and costume party for October 31.[47]
In 2018, Poppy began to drop hints about a new project and website called Poppy.Church.[48] At first, the purpose of the website was not known, as it only featured a cryptic message and an opportunity to enter one's phone number. After a few months, however, the purpose of the site was made clear. Every day at 3:36 PDT, certain people who entered their phone number would receive a link to join the Church. There they could fill out a profile, create an avatar, and pledge their allegiance to them. As of August 24, there is an Atrium, which acts as a chatroom, a theater, a gallery which changes weekly, a lobby like another chatroom, a bulletin board with announcements, a personal report page, a box office selling tickets for Poppy's Am I a Girl? Tour,[49] a backpack, and a settings page to edit contact information and character. On August 23, room invites were sent out to members of the Church who were showing "Faith, Dedication, and Loyalty". There are 100,000 rooms, with 1,000 halls connecting to the corresponding 100 rooms in that hall. (For example, Hall No. 1 has rooms 1–100, Hall No. 2 has rooms 101–200, and so on.) Members of the Church can visit each other's rooms, leave comments on their walls, and access provided social media.

The description on Z2 Comics' website reads "Is she a girl? Is she a machine? Is she humanity's redemption, or its damnation? Don't be scared – either way, she is Poppy… and you love Poppy.

YouTube

Poppy's YouTube channel was created on October 6, 2011, and her earliest video was uploaded on November 4, 2014,[92] an abstract skit called Poppy Eats Cotton Candy, directed by Titanic Sinclair. The videos are described by their producer Sinclair as "a combination of Andy Warhol's pop accessibility, David Lynch's creepiness, and Tim Burton's zany comedic tone".[17] The channel has been discussed by other YouTubers, including PewDiePie,[93] Social Repose,[94] Night Mind,[95] the Film Theorists,[96] Reaction Time, and the Fine Brothers on their React series. She starred in an episode in which she reacts to children reacting to her videos.[97] She has also appeared in an episode of the web series Good Mythical Morning.[98]
Sinclair alludes in an interview that Poppy's character in the promotional videos presented itself to him as an android and how some of the concept relates to the uncanny valley hypothesis.[99] Poppy has stated that her YouTube videos tell a story.[100]
Aside from her abstract promotional videos, Poppy's channel features her original music,[101][102] various covers, and acoustic versions of her songs.
Poppy's friend Charlotte, a celebrity-interviewing mannequin with a synthetic voice, is a recurring character. She usually appears interacting with Poppy but also on her own.[103] She appears to have developed a drug and jealousy problem after Poppy became famous, which strains their relationship,[9][104] although Charlotte became Poppy's opening act for her 2017–2018 Poppy.Computer Tour. Other characters include Charlotte's son, a boy mannequin who has taken the brunt of abuse at the hands of his mother during a drugged stupor; Plant (voiced by Sinclair), a potted basil plant who is one of Poppy's closest friends and biggest supporter; and Skeleton (also voiced by Sinclair), a plastic model skeleton who is revealed as Charlotte's drug dealer.
The channel also has an animated promotional miniseries called Everybody Wants to Be Poppy, directed by Titanic Sinclair and illustrated by Melanie Foreman, which stars Poppy as herself, Titanic Sinclair as Rex, actor Matt Bennett as Pho, Canadian singer-songwriter Simon Wilcox as Phoebe, and Los Angeles-based photographer Sam McGuire as Wyatt. The series documents Poppy and Rex's journey as they attempt to find a "magical kale smoothie".[105]
I'm Poppy series
I'm Poppy, a short film and the first episode of a proposed television series of the same name written and directed by Titanic Sinclair, made its world premiere on January 23 at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. In it, Poppy leaves the Internet for the real world and confronts the pitfalls of fame, including cults, deranged fans, Satan, and her bitter rival Charlotte.[106][107]
Artistry
Poppy's musical style has been described as pop,[108][109][110][111] heavy metal,[110][111] rock,[108][112] electronic,[113][114] industrial,[115][113] and experimental.[116] More specifically, her music has been described as various subgenres including dance-pop,[109][110] nu metal,[86][117] electropop,[118][119] art pop,[115] experimental pop,[112] synth-pop,[115] avant-garde pop,[120] bubblegum pop,[121] dream pop,[110] pop rock,[117] hard rock,[122] ambient,[123] metalcore,[124] alternative rock,[125] pop punk,[118] kawaii metal,[118] industrial metal,[126] and industrial rock.[110] Poppy has described herself as a "kawaii Barbie child".[127][128] She has described her music style as "music [that] makes you want to rule the world." Poppy states that she drew inspiration from genres such as J-pop and K-pop, as well as reggae. She recalls beginning to write music in 2012. She told Tiger Beat her musical inspirations are Cyndi Lauper, unicorns and Elvis Presley.[129] She is a fan of Jimmy Eat World, No Doubt, Norma Jean, and Blondie.[127][130]
Public persona
Overview
Poppy has said that her stage name originated as a nickname given to her by a friend.[131] A natural brunette, she has dyed her hair many colors, usually to match the aesthetic of each of her albums' respective eras.[132]
In April 2017, Poppy began selling a book on her website for called The Gospel of Poppy, described as "a book of wisdom".[9][133]
Poppy's identity was initially kept guarded. She explained, "I don't want people to talk about how old I am; I want them to talk about what I'm making. [...] People, especially nowadays, are so obsessed with knowing everything. They'll have to invest their time in finding it."[134] In 2018, she revealed in a statement on Twitter that she had kept her identity guarded due to being a survivor of past abuse.[135]
Reception
Critics have both praised the catchiness of Poppy's music and described her persona as distant from reality. Racked called her "sweet, but alien" and "brightly addictive".[17] PopularTV said of her music: "Paralleling Gwen Stefani in the No Doubt era, That Poppy mixes punk with ska-pop and makes you want to get up and dance." The UQ Music Blog described her as "Electra Heart meets Princess Peach".[136] David Mogendorff, who works in artist content and services for YouTube and Google Play Music, said she has "a strong J- and K-pop influence".[137]
Poppy's YouTube channel is often regarded as a commentary on social media. Vice described the tone of the channel, saying, "If you have the patience to work your way through all the videos on this channel, certain trends start to emerge. The most obvious is Poppy's fixation with the internet and social media culture, which she claims to love. But far more interesting is the general tone of the videos, which have gotten progressively darker over the last two years."[138] Gita Jackson of Kotaku suggested the videos are a commentary on the experience of being online, writing, "In a way, she's made every YouTube video, ever. Her channel is an index of every insincere apology, desperate bid for views and assurance that they couldn't do it without her fans you'll ever see. That Poppy is not only skewering the absurdity of people who make a living as public figures on the internet—she has it out for the entire experience of being online." Mogendorff said the videos are "like social commentary... touch[ing] on the anxieties of modern life" and "a really interesting way of communicating, personal but strange".[137]
V magazine listed Poppy as part of the new generation of music, saying that "her hatched-from-an-egg, Glinda the Good Witch vibes have inspired labels from 'human ASMR' to a one-woman 'digital rabbit hole', none of which seem to stick".[139] Paper magazine also listed Poppy as one of the 100 women revolutionizing pop music, noting that "no matter what Poppy does, we can learn to expect the unexpected".[140] Alternative Press cited Poppy in their list of 20 artists who defined the sound of nu-metal.[141]
Personal life
Poppy's gender questioning influenced the themes of Am I a Girl? In a 2019 interview, she stated that she identified as a woman, and said that she thinks "everyone should be able to identify with whatever they choose".[142]
In October 2019, Poppy began dating rapper Ghostemane. In July 2020, she announced on social media that the two were engaged.[143][144] The couple separated and called off their engagement in late 2021.[145]
In April 2020, Poppy began to post stylized make-up tutorials on her YouTube channel. She tweeted to explain, "My ex-boyfriend would always tell me I looked ugly without make-up on, and I should never been seen without it." She also claimed that the same ex-boyfriend was leaking her unreleased videos, photographs of her without make-up, and "very personal demos that only he has" such as a cover of the Pokémon theme song. In response to the alleged leak, she posted the cover of the Pokémon theme song herself.[146]
Poppy previously shared a friendly relationship with singer Marilyn Manson.[147][148][149] Following multiple abuse allegations against him in 2021, she removed all mention of him from her Instagram page.
