#I need to find an article from teh new york time sooo sooo intresting

[ladychlo]

was just sitting here thinking about how happy Louis and harry look on their Tours and how connected and real they seem to their fan and then I think of the stunt and the whole bullshit and I get an existential void out of it. does it make any dense????!!!! seeing them like that makes whatever happens else just absurd and voided and not necessary I think I'm having an existential crisis because of this lmfao

hiii love,

I love tour for them so much, because they get to have that raw interaction with their fans with nothing in between....they get to receive genuine love and admiration, like you start in front of a sea of people, coming here just to hear you and your music cause they relate to it and they love it...and they show you a support you've been told it cant be real...

and Im laughing so hard at this, because I was talking with my friend Kaw specifically about this while ago. but yeah, not to say its highly predictable to get an existential dread from pr stunt because consumption of imagery is just capitalism. and what else that doesn't suck your soul of and commodify your feelings other than capitalism?

okay I might sound a bit far from the point but hear me out. PR stunt work on the basis of consuming two things, imagery and story. so you might think the only thing you consume is idk a song, album, movie...etc. but you're actually consuming more than that, you might ask why? well no consumption under capitalism and industries that works according to it gonna let you consume for free.

you might not pay for pap pictures but you pay in another way (your engagement, your reproduction of the purpose of these images..etc). besides, existential void comes with the death of reality, because there is no interest in selling your reality, reality can only be sold if it can be commodified. so genuinely, they don't care if you believe the story or not, they don't care of its not consistant, does it make sense or not. this goes on the sense of limiting consumption of a story if its true , which means if tabloids or entertainment media in general worked on giving you a solid truthful story, its a loss because the truth is boring and not in a cool-I-can-make-a-consumable-product-out-of-it-way.

now you might say, but these sold stories look stupidly fake and makes no sense at all why go with? why even survive? and continue to sell? because the point is as I said you are not sold the truth, you're sold the story. and people who consume these stories are not that dumb you know? its entertainning for them.

have you ever heard of KAYFABE?

it basically means "In professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as "real" or "true," specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine and not of a staged or pre-determined nature. Kayfabe has also evolved to become a code word of sorts for maintaining this "reality" within the realm of the general public."

.everyone knows that these wrestling stories are scripted as much as everyone knows that paparazzi don't just suddenly show in the street corner, or take the perfect storytelling shot or have access to private property, or have a GPS of celebrity locations planted in their brains...etc. anyone with decent critical thinking will understand that, but they choose to mascarade the show as true not because its real but because its entertaining. so staged events like a wrestling match in WWE RAW or a staged pap walk are produced as real and perceived as real. its the narrative that plays some sort of a theatrical drama with heroes villains romance etc etc etc. they dont give a shite if you dont believe it, or you point out inconsistencies or what makes more sense, because.....its not consumable beyond you and your friends of delusional gay conspiracy theorists.
