FTFY: ~mourn~ celebrate
I only mourne reddit, that website was a lifestyle back in the day. Thats why i'm here lol. God I miss the good oll' days.
Yeah, it is a bit strange. That was a central hub of where I got news, jokes, stayed connected with internet culture. That's mostly gone now. So many things feel splintered anymore. I'm old so I don't keep up with the latest games, but that feels all over the place---too many games, too many communities. Streaming/TV stuff---very few people I know watch the same things I do, and I miss the joy of watching something new and then talking about it the next day moments. Worse now is that most people can't even access the same content since there are too many services. Music is strange now too. Partly, I'm just not connected to pop culture, but also everyone is listening to VERY different stuff (referring to college-age folks---most other millennials I know just listen to NPR, podcasts and 90s mixes). There doesn't seem to be any monolithic music culture at all anymore. Everyone has super customized spotify playlists. I know a big part is just millennial aging, but also reddit kept me connected to broader things, and now its just like everything else and enshittified and disappearing. sigh ... get off my lawn I guess :(
Honestly I'm probably just going to keep mining the 60s-00s for music like I always have. Now that I have a job and less time to find music I'll probably never run out lol
It really is a bit weird when people ask me what kind of music I like and I have to think of a way to describe my 1.3k video YouTube playlist of random genre and time period music that I have found in the most random places
I just say shitty indie metal and folk. Folks usually losee interest, or they become curious and find out about Hulkoff and holy locust.
Can you link both of those bands?

Hulkoff was pretty cool, very artistic too (I enjoyed the video I watched. Holy Locust was definitely a bit more folksy, I kind of liked it too.
Glad ya liked my taste in music dude.
thumbs up
thanks!
