To demonstrate a unique expression of the hypnagogic pop aesthetic. The media is described by the Oxford Handbook of Music and Virtuality thusly:
Lopatin's video for "angel" (2009) exemplifies hypnagogic pop's format for cultural appropiration. A single section of Fleetwood Mac's "Only Over You" is first jumbled and then played through in a decelerated loop, with phaser effect added over specific phrases. This is accompanied by footage from an advertisement for early VCR technology, vector graphics of an early home computer, a woman using an early handheld video camera in front of a golden ocean sunset, and a young Japanese woman holding a portable cassette player. ... This reappropriation of existing texts activates hypnagogic pop's investment in the personal affectivity of popular culture ... the use of short, looped clips references animated GIFs. In this instance, sampling is being employed to access the segmented portions of popular culture that we use as a form of mnemonically encoded cultural shorthand. This process engages both nostalgia as a personalized impression of culture and collective memory ... By using overly emotive commercial musical texts from a specific era (such as Fleetwood Mac) Lopatin's work points to a complex engagement with irony.
