Стекловата (Steklovata)

Steklovata was a band from Orenburg which was formed by the Russian producer and composer Sergei Kuznetsov in 2000. The year before he had met the then thirteen year old Denis Belikin and saw potential to form a boy band with him and some other teenagers. The themes were things that attract interested especially that age youths. In 2003 Artoer Jeremejev joined as second vocalist.

The band broke through after their video for the song Novi god was picked up by the Russian satirical music Shit Parade, because the video was very amateurish. The original video has been viewed thousands of times on YouTube and are still regularly made parodies of the video clip.

“Novi God,” which translates to “New Year” in English, was released in 2002 by Russian boy band Steklovata (English: Glass wool) as a follow-up to their earlier self-titled single. The music video was originally uploaded to YouTube in early 2007, and since then, it has amassed several million views in aggregate through dozens of duplicate uploads. Being a holiday pop song, the music video continues to experience a seasonal spike in online interest every year. The original video has since been removed.

Novi God  is a holiday pop song and music video that has inspired numerous parodies on Youtube due to its low-budget greenscreen effects and awkward, apathetic dancing. Typically these parodies feature four people standing in front of greenscreen backgrounds and lipsynching to the original song, while mocking the dancing and exaggerated facial expressions of the original. The style of the video is similar to those of other viral hits such as Mark Gormley and Tunak Tunak Tun.

Soon after the original upload to YouTube in 2007, the video was posted on several blogs and reuploaded with variations of “the worst music video ever” titles. As the video continued to make rounds across the web in Eastern Europe, dozens of lip dubs and parody music videos featuring members of other European nationalities began to appear on YouTube, many of them mimicking the original music video’s low-budget green-screen effects, Earth-toned clothing and awkward camera transitions.

Since 2009 the group dies a silent death, there has since been no new material came out, and the group seems to make no more music. However, an official confirmation never came out.
