re: the music rant I tagged you in I am so sorry for tagging you in my double-dose caffeine fueled haterism explosion post. truly was off the shits and did not realize how much random garbage talking points I was ready to spill on the first person to ask

but i love haterism…..

#truly i really don’t care if ppl like those artists. they do so for good reason #but it’s just impossible to see it as like. particularly noteworthy and countercultural or anything anymore?#like obv it’ll never be on the same mainstream level of like taylor swift or w/e #but as far as being ‘weird’ or ‘fringe’ it’s like. safe weird. safe fringe #mainstream weird or mainstream fringe to use an oxymoron #there’s nothing wrong with enjoying something with a large community that makes you feel something #but it just isn’t particularly striking as far as making a statement about how unique you are #not that you need to be unique to be cool #but i think a lot of people truly do see it as a thing that makes them special or even superior #it’s not harmful at all just a little silly #and truly when every young neurodivergent well-off internet dweller is doing it. well it’s not totally weird is it #safe and sanitized weirdness #either that or to get back to the point if it is true weirdness then it’s like yeah are you sure this goes on that character playlist LOL #maybe the other bigger threat is when stuff is genuinely good and raw and unique and strange #art that’s screaming something out #and it gets watered down into something incredibly generic #like this lament about the singer’s very real life is like ‘woagh this is just like these two fictional white men who have never met’#less ‘morally wrong’ and more ‘hardcore cringe at best and in poor taste at worst’#or like. what if it is an EXTREMELY specific situation genuinely #why is it on every playlist 🤔#the answer is bc it goes hard of course so who am i to say they’re wrong for having fun #but behind the scenes in secret i’ll be laughing sinisterly #like everybody in the world thinks Their Artist is the most freakish unique and special artist. including swifties #fact of the matter there’s always something weirder. even the stuff i listen to i am well aware could be so much freakier #is there really any point in making it a competition of how weird you are #just listen to what appeals to you and stop acting like you’re the main character idk #asks #dj-of-the-coven #ok i’m done now. hope none of this sounded too bitter and judgmental
