You know why there won't be anyone as sexy and lustful sounding like Billy Idol and Depeche Mode anymore ? I'll tell you..
Culture Rewards Softness and Control
Everything today is optimized, polished, algorithm-approved. Music especially—so much of it is autotuned and carefully written to be non-offensive.. not to mention emotionally vague or oversimplified.
It lacks the tension, darkness, and sexual charge of the 80s and 90s. “Flesh for Fantasy” wasn’t afraid to be lustful. Music now often apologizes for wanting something.
a few nights ago i had a dream i saw andrew eldritch with a bunch of cracked coconuts at his feet and crushing the white flesh part, he was going for the worlds deepest coconut paste record.
i started helping him, just cracking coconuts and scooping out the white parts as the coconut paste in between the brick platform walls grew deeper.
i then got my friends involved, and then soon the whole school, because for some reason he was doing this there.
its so funny how badly the tiktok ban backfired. they ban what they think is a sketchy chinese app, so people flock to another, even more chinese app, and become closer than ever to chinese people.
"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."
its so obvious its a publicity stunt or something. boosting this despite being australian because more people need to see this.
I really do hope that people stick to this 'I'm not going to praise Trump if he brings TikTok back' thing because not only did he support it's banning in the first place, but he just wants to gain support from more people and be idolized in the media. It's the start of his second presidency, it's a distraction you shouldn't fall for.
He's still a billionaire, he is still a Zionist, he is still a fascist, transphobe, homophobe, a FELON, and plenty more.. I assure you, you do not want to support this man in any way shape or form. do not start praising him for bringing back TikTok if he succeeds.
It's so blatantly obvious too,, because this TikTok ban is all over the media. doing something that big and taking all the credit for himself is exactly the type of publicity boost that he needs to gain more support from Gen Z, and you need to remember not to not only ignore that he did it, but refuse to interact with any posts praising him for it. maga is gonna go INSANE over this and you need to stay away from their influence
good luck those who moved from tiktok to tumblr,, remember that activism and awareness shouldn't stop now that tiktok is gone 🙏
You know that feeling when you open your laundry and realize one sock is mysteriously missing? Here’s the truth no one wants you to know:
It started in the 1950s, when sock manufacturers noticed a strange pattern: socks weren’t just getting worn out—they were vanishing from homes. At first, it was brushed off as careless laundry habits, but then, the phenomenon spread. Whole sock pairs were disappearing from laundry baskets, never to be seen again. No one could explain it. But the TRUTH? The socks are being collected by a covert organization known as "The Thread."
The Thread is an underground network of laundry enthusiasts—self-appointed custodians of the global sock economy. They believe that socks are more than just fabric; they are energy conduits that store the residual emotional energy of their owners. A well-worn sock, they argue, is infused with a kind of personal aura, representing the essence of its owner’s daily experiences. In short: socks are more than just clothing—they are SPIRITUAL BATTERIES.
The Thread's goal? To collect enough energy from discarded socks to fuel a GLOBAL SHIFT IN POWER. They have been siphoned off, one by one, into a vast underground warehouse where the accumulated energy is harvested.
people are misinterpreting this so much. OP isn't saying you don't just hate kids in general because you don't just hate things for no reason.
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
Sometimes Gatekeeping Is Good!
Okay but fr I think mild gatekeeping in alternative subcultures is okay, because I think we shouldn't just let anyone in.
I don't think a Trump supporter should be able to say they're a punk and I don't think someone who sees goth as PURELY "egirl" fashion should be allowed to call themselves goth. Idk if this makes me sound like an asshole but imo if you don't regularly listen to the music or aren't aware of the history/movement behind a subculture, you aren't in it.
I do think there is a level of gatekeeping that is too far but my brain can't put it into words rn if you understand.
