I didn’t watch TV for many years of my life and missed out on a lot of big cultural moments and even though I spent the early pandemic years catching up, I still don’t know a lot and now it’s fun to be blissfully unaware of things that millions of people love.
Clothing, Culture, Shows, Looking back I never played along, which is a double edged sword, you grow up detached, but then again, I wouldn’t have developed my flavor without the individualism. This doesn’t apply if you suffer from FOMO.
this is a working thought. but some good examples are nathan for you, poor things, the recent adoption of hyperpop and brat,
things that you would think are only loved and seen by the niche or the subculture but are really just part of the mainstream culture and its presence there is actually kind of confusing. how did you get here...
I’m not like a real musician so I love seeing incredible musicians being their effortlessly amazing selves, singers (sangers) especially. This song has been stuck in my head for the past 7 years.
Especially now that I’m committed to being blonde, I like throwing away all of my money into a void. That financial void helps fill the void in my heart and I pack it with miscellaneous nice-smelling chemicals that claim to make my hair longer, stronger, healthier, and shinier. I somehow believe it will make me more beautiful and more powerful than ever before (I’m still not beautiful nor powerful). I always *think* it’s kind of maybe almost working if I squint in the mirror and think happy thoughts but despite the ambiguity I keep buying and buying and buying anyway, bewitched by the creative descriptions and captivating packaging engineered to trick suckers like me into false hope. Even though I understand the deception on an intellectual level, the emotional high of collecting far outweighs the acknowledgement of an inconvenient truth. The sweet smell of denial!
The places dreams are made of. I feel like my best, most creative self in 99 cent stores and beauty supply stores. I could honestly spend hours perusing the aisles! When I’m feeling down, I go hang out at the ones in my neighborhood and I always come out feeling a little better.
