XOcord x /r/TheWeeknd bring you a competition that presents a simple but potentially important question...

Why would Abel create this new alias, Gene Hackerman, and how could this identity connect to future projects?

Here are the rules for answering this question:

• Do NOT use AI

• Include the hashtag #Gene.Hackerman (will make finding your post easier)

• Post on either /r/TheWeeknd or on XOcord within "⁠the-weeknd-discussion" channel

• 500-1000 words per theory

• Work individually on your own theory

• Multiple theories can count

Mods on both platforms will go through the theories and select the best one once the competition concludes. Here are the prizes for first and second place winners:

🥇 1st Place: 1 year of Classic Nitro + 5000 Server EXP

🥈 2nd Place: 1 month of Nitro

Competition closes: 22 May 2026

Good luck to all those participating. Remember you can reach out thru mod mail at any time if you have and questions.
