🤨
A brief taxonomy of haters, in order of least to most worthy:
1. Contrarian - the worst kind; completely unmoored and childish. Sometimes lobbed as an insult unfairly but not always.
2. The Deranged - just hating on someone or something obsessively, usually deservedly but to the point of excess. I can kinda respect it but at some point you‘re just inflicting psychic damage on yourself.
3. The Principled Hater - a stone in the stream, a person with a vantage point and a sense of taste who understands their own subjectivity. Willing to give anything a fair shake but unwilling to pretend to like something they can’t bring themselves to.

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

🌚check songkick or other such sites for bands, wander around a neighborhood to find fun spots and thrift stores instead of relying solely on search engines. If you see someone at a gathering wearing something interesting, compliment them on it and ask them where they got it. In short you have to go out in the world and be attentive to it. Sorry if this is corny or useless.
