I started this on Sunday evening and since I had a half-day today. I thought what the heck and finished it :)


"So Noh, the fans are dying to know if you and Secret did that on purpose last night."

Noh looked at the host and tilted his head. All the fans in the audience knew immediately that Noh was about to dish it and it wasn't going to be pretty. He had certain little tells depending on his mood and long time fans knew them by heart. Several girls covered their ears just in case.

"Are you sure its the fans who want to know? Because High Raisers know better than to ask dumb questions like that. If you want to ask me if I did that on purpose because of what happened with some protesters or whatever then no. I got sneak attacked and had to show my embarrassed face on a live. You think that's funny or amusing? Secret's lucky he got anything at all last night and I know he's watching so he better be thinking about that dry spell he's about to have. Asshole."

Dye immediately covered his mouth and Ex folded his lips. Ohm smirked. Flex suddenly had an idea and pulled out his phone. He went on twitter then laughed. They all turned to look at him.

"Secret just tweeted there are such things as oasis in the desert. He's sure he's going to see one very soon." That's when Dye could hold it in no longer and burst out laughing. Noh, like a runaway train, started a live to twitter war with Secret that lasted past commercials and despite being a veteran of 5 years on the show, the host had a hell of a time reigning him in. Ohm got in his way so many times that he actually low key got passive aggressive with the guitar player. That's when shit really hit the fan because Noh did a 180 and turned on the host. 

#NohloveOhm started trending on twitter immediately as well as  #LoyalNoh and #Oasis. The last was to support poor Secret who seemed to have gotten himself in trouble.

It was the worst (and best) interview in Thai history and saw a spike in views for all the wrong reasons. Noh though, vowed he was never going back on that show and most hosts took a que from that incident and hesitated to ask stupid questions like that again. It was a lesson they were being taught in a round about way and they learned it easily especially when P'Tear made a very obvious clip about show hosts asking dumb questions on his IG. He even turned it into a series that would go viral. It brought more focus to his show and raised his ratings despite him picking on his fellow journalists.

The next show Elevation attended saw the host actually apologizing for his compatriot, a rare and defining moment. Mentally, he compared the fierce High Risers to a certain fandom that was still very active and decided he didn't want to be on the receiving end of their defensive behaviours. They had quite shredded his compatriot.

Noh didn't realize it but his big, beautiful mouth actually started a revolution. Thai culture was very polite and didn't cater for personalities like Noh's. He wasn't rude so much as he called you out on your bullshit and it was refreshing. Other musicians began doing the same, but some took it to far. In the upcoming weeks there seemed to be a new movement as persons began revising what was ok and what wasn't as well as how they approached certain questions and how those questions should be answered. 

Elevation actually found themselves in a serious debate over this on Current, a show hosted by DJ Future, that discussed what was current in any area. Elevation was the new it thing is music so they were invited. As a result of what happened that night, they were asked to discuss the topic.

"What was your overall opinion of that interview, particularly the question?" Noh was asked after they worked their way around to the discussion.

"There are several areas where the interview when off the rails. First there was the question and what it attempted to accomplish. First, don't use the fans as a clutch. That pissed me off right away. The fans want to know... Just say you want to know. Second, I never cursed P'Ash. Please be clear on this. The 'asshole' part was actually for Secret because I was reminded of how annoyed I got with him once things settled down. Sure fans love to see us interact but that's not the face I want to show on a live."
