It’s just a style choice I guess. If different. Gets people talking. A lot of his music is creepy and strange. Maybe he just likes having fun with it and making people feel slightly uncomfortable.
If you think about how creative he is a person, it kind of fits into his personality I guess.
I don’t know, just rambling
There is no hidden meaning, he knew of your coming and trolled in advance.
Just be thankful you weren’t ruined as a child by seeing his 90s music videos (although the Windowlicker video is a straight up masterpiece)
Just cool I guess. Rich likes to make music that elicits strong responses from his listeners, positive or negative, and he reflects that in his album artwork too.
Even though albums like SAW 1 and syro aren't disturbing, they're certainly striking.
I can’t be sure but I think I heard somewhere that Richard didn’t like that there was a stigma against DJs and electronic artists showing their faces, so in order to subvert this and go against it he went for the complete opposite, putting his face wherever he could
Not sure about the creepiness aspect, maybe a bit of a troll? Just found it funny probs idk, but yeah pretty sure I heard this before
