You are one of the good ones at that time it all went over my head

I was not a cat girl at that time, but a few years after that I was bitten by a radioactive cat. Hiss.

I care: i've been a music lover with weird tastes and an ear for musical personality, for a good part of my life. I always try to follow a contemporary scene or two and I have found music I like and want to support in every generational change. I don't have a musical bone in me; I just like to listen to music, go to concerts and stay informed of emerging trends.

I find it baffling every time I hear another faceless contemporary musical project that clearly has nothing to say, and just happened to smashed together the three most prominent hashtags in social media to fart out forgettable albums every 6 months, humans do that shit too and all of it reeks of mindless slop.

I listen to music for novel ideas, a personality, a musical aesthetic, maybe some technical skill, lyricism or compositional skill, i love to see people giving it their all singing and playing their hearts out. Ai is a non entity for me, people who deliver slop regardless of what tool they use are always easy to identify and avoid. There will be the odd electronic performer that manages to use Ai as a valid creative outlet; but since i gravitate towards raw performance, i don't think that will ever catch my ear.

We've had obscure bands for decades, and we've had scenes sustained by a loyal following for a while now. I've seen a ton of great bands playing their hearts out to a hundred people in a small bar and coming out satisfied. I know a couple of musicians that live off a loyal following in the other side of the world while being ignored by their local music press. There is a growing trend of backyard shows in emerging scenes. I think humanity will find a way to thrive and connect regardless of what the tech bro averaging machine spams out. Meanwhile I will keep supporting human artists that love what they do, and avoid all algorithmic recommendations.

The "invincible wheel" is legal in China again! 🎉

Same perpetrators as well.

I tried once picking up the poop of an Avant-guarde dog but he charged me €275,000

I've always felt this is not a bug but a feature of the system; This is me being conspiratorial, but I've seen this type of shit streamer suddenly get huge as they add a political turn on their discourse and it happens the most right before elections in "certain countries". It was obvious for anyone a couple of years ago when gamer gate found a resurgence. Call it free market, call it bankrolling by political parties But I am getting really tired of watching this type of political clown pop out, make a lot of noise and spew a lot of nonsense and then fizzle out.

Thanks for the help! I forgot Americans need everything labeled for them!
