The pop musician Jai Paul is finally performing, but it’s unclear why, jiatolentino writes. Is he gearing up to release a new album? Is he now going to do all the things strangers thought he might be capable of?
, in 2011. It was very short. Fans learned that he didn’t own an iPod, still listened to the music he liked as a kid, and had turned down major-label offers. He considered himself “kind of a hippie.”
The public still knew almost nothing about him. And, after the leak, he retreated entirely. But his influence continued to spread: if an electronic track blew up on SoundCloud anytime in the mid-twenty-tens, it was probably trying to sound at least a little like Jai Paul. In 2015, Lorde tweeted, “Someone should start a jai paul imitation fund and donate every time an indie pop bro puts a song out that rips him #justice.
It was a surprise, then, when Jai Paul’s name appeared on the poster for Coachella 2023. He had never performed live; his most public appearance to date had been a barely noticed cameo in a Season 3 episode of “.” His performance during Coachella’s first weekend was underwhelming—he barely moved onstage, and didn’t address the crowd.
The crowd was heavy on men who looked like they were auditioning for a not-funny comedy set in Bushwick.

Paul was supposed to go on at nine, and, at nine-twenty, the girl next to me sat down as if she were settling in for the long haul. The figure of the anxious artist, incompatible with the industry and unable to deliver, is a familiar one, and it hovered over the evening.
