Planet Squaria: The Square In The Circle
XV
2008
Planet Squaria: The Square In The Circle has an Xbox Video Game concept. This starts the listener’s journey through XV’s play and ideology of being a Square in real life.
He creates this metaphorical fantasy world, which really lets the listener get to know what type of person he is, reflecting on his childhood playing video games, swimming, and just having fun as a kid growing up in the 90s. Exploring the “Cornerverse”
Planeta Squaria is a metaphor for being alienated to the point he’s literally an alien. He arrives in his spaceship at the circle otherwise known as Earth. T
The spaceship represents XV wanting to get away, transitioning from socially outcast to socially accepted. Earth is round and symbolizes the inner circle or the in crowd. He tries to fit in and fails. Like an alien visiting Earth, no matter how hard it tried to disguise itself, its mannerisms, customs, and distinctive physical features would cause it to stick out. Instead of revamping his whole identity to fit in, he creates the Coolniverse. A world where being himself and being nerdy is cool.
