Fan Theory About Chromakopia
Following the album’s announcement and the debut of the track “St. Chroma,” fans were already speculating about Easter eggs in the rollout. On Thursday night (Oct. 17), X user boymolish shared a convincing fan theory.
“My theory: Tyler‘s character seems to be emulating ‘Chroma the Great’ a character in a book called, The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster,” boymolish surmises in the tweet below. “Chroma’s job is to conduct the orchestra that colors every day; without him and the instruments, the world would have no color at all. And if you know, Tyler is well known for his bright saturated colors throughout his career and worlds he has created.”
“Also, Tyler‘s character seems to give up the look of a dictator,” he continues. “Also meaning someone a person who has complete control over a country or territory. I feel as though this album will take us on the journey through the perspective of Tyler‘s new character. As someone who is influenced not only music but the style and world he’s created throughout Tyler’s whole career. It’s not the end but the beginning of a coloring book.”
Tyler decided to release the album on Monday after previously expressing dislike of Friday drops. He recently revealed the reason for his Monday morning release on X.
“YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT WHEN YOU WAKE UP, YOU DONT HAVE TO DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF SLEEP FOR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE THERE WHEN YOU WAKE UP,” he posted.
In promotion of the album, Tyler will be embarking on a world tour with Lil Yachty and Paris Texas beginning in February.
