Background and release

George "Joji" Miller, the creator and player of Filthy Frank, has always loved to create music as he elaborates in an interview with Pigeons and Planes. [3]

In 2011, Miller created a channel centered around his character, "Filthy Frank" to promote his music. As his channel grew, he created more bizarre characters, most notably Pink Guy, an aptly named character consisting of Miller in a pink body suit. Periodically, Miller would upload music videos to his channel which were equally diverse in musical design and visuals, ranging from Pink Guy making rice balls to his adoration of hentai.

In 2014, he released a collection of a select number of songs, titled Pink Guy (stylized in all caps), compiled under the pseudonym that most relates to the tone of the music. [4] After the release, Miller went back to his normal uploading schedule.

Throughout mid-2016, he hinted at the release of Pink Season in several of his videos. He continued to hype up his album by promoting on Twitter up until its release. [5]

After the album was released, a new music video was released for the song "Nickelodeon Girls" on 13 March 2017. [6]

The cover of the album displays a pink Dodge Stealth that is not owned by Miller.

A remix EP titled Pink Season: The Prophecy was released on 24 May 2017, featuring remixes by Borgore, Getter, Tasty Treat and Axel Boy. [7]

An unnamed third album (nicknamed "PG3" by some fans) was planned by Miller, along with a "long overdue" tour as the character, but Miller quit the Pink Guy name shortly after this. [8]
