This performance turns Justin Bieber’s screen into a portrait of the early internet. As he sings with his younger self at Coachella, memes like ‘Double Rainbow’ and ‘Deez Nuts’ evoke the online world that produced him: a culture of webcam confession, viral randomness and participatory watching. ‘Double Rainbow’ captures the raw sincerity of early YouTube, while ‘Deez Nuts’ represents its throwaway, repeatable joke logic. Bieber belongs to both. He was one of the first pop stars built through that ecosystem, where intimacy and exposure fed each other. By folding memes into the set, he reframes his career as inseparable from the internet’s gaze.
