What if culture isn't cyclical, it's just that people are lazy and unoriginal and decide to copy works that are old enough to have been largely forgotten by the public conscious?

and i'm gonna be honest, while I dislike Tracey and his politics a lot of the "shut up you fat nerd incel" stuff coming from lefty Twitter people towards him sounds quite a bit like people who weren't able to bully the weird kid with a roller backpack who was on the autism spectrum back in high school, but now the tables have turned, Tracey essentially IS a grown-up version of that kid right down to saying he is a high-functioning autistic, and they're finally getting to act like the popular kids at Edina High (or insert your metro's affluent public high school in a liberal suburb, because there's one in every city) they so desperately wanted to be.

i mean, it's been mentioned, but people dunk on tracey cause he's a hack who got brain damage thanks to being pile drived by maxine waters, and spends all his time making GBS threads on and undermining the left. so it's his actions, not some subconscious desire to be high school bullies that drive people to make fun of him.

i'm specifically referring to: music you hear on the big radio stations, and t.v. and movie soundtracks. video game music is the one exception has somehow managed to avoid this problem for the most part.

ya the whole brooklyn podcasting scene is people on the spectrum so the theory people pick on tracey for people an autistic dork makes no loving sense, it's definitely because he everything he does and says sucks and makes you feel bad

she was also armed with a rifle and readied it to shoot the guy to death if he jumped out and started shooting. don't think he expected to slam into that car though and backed out in a hurry. but i don't think if i was standing there in the middle of that it'd make much sense to go "ah, she worked on the f-35 program so i dunno about this... not my comrade..."

look, we all hate neo-nazi terrorists who drive cars into protesters. but if we stoop down to vile ad-hominems, rather than engaging with their arguments in spirited debate, then are we truly better than the neo-nazi terrorists ourselves?

oh okay. i think the soundtracks for LIMBO and INSIDE are incredible pieces of drone/ambient that work as albums in their own right. imo modern movie soundtracks generally get better the further they are out of the mainstream. haxan cloak/bobby krlic is very good, he did the soundtrack for misommar which is basically a 3rd haxan cloak album.

I don't know if it was Mick Jagger and Keith Richards but there is a rumor that during the late 80s, a 16 years old groupie once threatened one of rolling stones to sell photo of them making love to a british tabloid if she wouldn't get money. The rolling stone laughed and asked her how it would be bad for his career because he was already old as gently caress.
