it feels like we're going through a resurgence of a 2000s-style Nerds vs. Hipsters thing, but this time along the lines of a new canon of stuff that everyone online knows (but your "coworker" has never heard of) vs. people in overlapping spaces who "performatively" break from it

there's a real divide between indie rock fans that like rock music with a weird, not necessarily commercial sound vs. people who like it because the college rock stuff from the 80s and 90s has become classic rock

the kind of political backlash that gets you feeling nostalgic for the slop they were pumping out for idiot republicans in 2009

Does Obama not understand that to most Americans the Cheesecake Factory is a very nice and fancy restaurant?

Spank Rock's YoYoYoYoYo was an extremely formative album for me, idk if i would've listened to dance music at all if i hadn't heard this collab he did with Japanther on the album they made with Penny Rimbaud from Crass. it was a great time for weird music crossovers!

When “indie sleaze” was actually happening, it was just called indie. But as the era gets repackaged through playlists, party photos, and Pinterest boards, the Black artists who helped shape the era are being left out.⁠ ⁠ @Santigold, Spank Rock, and @kilokish shed light on the scene they experienced, the boxes the industry put them in, and how the people telling its story shape what gets remembered.⁠ ⁠ Read the full feature by @precious1otus here: pigeonsandplanes.com/read/wh…

The Whitewashing of Indie Sleaze

As "indie sleaze" has become inescapable online in recent years, a generation of boundary-pushing Black artists have been overlooked. Santigold, Spank Rock, and Kilo Kish remember a scene far more...

i've been on the "i don't watch new movies" wave for a while now. it makes talking to people who assume i keep up with that sort of thing a little bit harder but it's worth the trade off to avoid feeling like i'm being advertised to all the time

Stifling Zeitgeist

The promotional-discourse cycle around popular films like You Can See Everything drains all desire to talk about them, let alone see them.

making tapes to self-release has given me a new appreciation for how imprecise making physical objects can be: cassettes never have exactly 60 minutes of tape, they can't record too much sub bass, two-sided printing is never exactly lined up, images can't have too much noise, etc

who else remembers when Lex Walton said shoegaze was fascist, and instead of being like "i'm joking" when pressed, she doubled down hard

people mistake me for being a "movie guy" but when a friend told me they were going to see You Can See Everything i asked them if that was one of the new emo bands kids are into nowadays

in my defense: 1.) i know about the Nathan Fielder movie, i've just been referring to it as "the Nathan Fielder movie" 2.) you can imagine what i was thinking if you spell it in all lower-case with no spaces, like "youcanseeeverything"

in my early 20s I was p sure I was gay but was still kind of abstractly fascinated by what made men's attractions tick and something funny is how many of them seem like they have a "type" that's very hard to pin down & then you realize it's just Girls from French New Wave Films
