The alt-pop queen’s choreographer Jas Lin breaks down the meaning behind the moves TikTok is obsessed with.
— a type of Japanese dance theatre that often involves slow, hyper-controlled motions, exaggerated facial expressions, and a fixation on hard emotions and absurdity. It’s informed their work together: in both music videos and live performance, Mitski’s movements swing from manic and repetitive, to drawn-out and protracted — sitting somewhere between compulsion and intention, but always with a kind of ritual.
The impulse to imbue her songs with ritual extends to her audience too, in its own way. Under hashtags like “#mitskitok” and “#mitskishuffle,” rather than reenacting choreographed dance trends, audiences shake or scream silently, acting out the emotions Mitski’s singing about.
It can be uncomfortable to watch someone experience this kind of emotion in a public venue — at times it feels like we’re seeing something we shouldn’t. But Lin doesn’t want us to look away. “If anything, it’s meant to challenge the audience. If this tantrum she's throwing on stage makes you feel some type of way… can you interrogate yourself?”
