I see the importance the band had on the scene but in the end they don't bring a lot of new ideas to the table and their playing isn't too notable either. It's probably best to think of the band as something that re-popularized experimentation within punk rock and helped other bands grow in popularity.
My SY hot take would be that Daydream Nation is a very boring album in total
this is tough to admit but I don’t exactly get their music despite the critical acclaim
they obviously have talent and kind hearts/souls but I could never get into them, i have always gotten the vibe that they were very self serious as artists and it makes me kind of nervous tbh
to me this is one of life’s most simple joys - especially during the winter. The combination of not driving + the heat from the pie keeping your legs warm + direct pizza fumes provides a precious and rare sensory experience
Not to beat a dead horse but google has now foisted integration of it‘s Gemini AI into basic gmail / drive functionality. Don’t offload your critical faculties to a super computer. Write that email. Use your brain. Every time you feed this thing it will get “better” and you are training it to replace you.
