"we Can't Name It, But We Can

I Grew Up Outside Of Seattle, And Have Lived Here My Whole Life, And I Think That There Is A Culture Of Questioning, And Guilt. Almost An "anti-ambition." Like, An Awareness, And Then A Subsequent Guilt. But Sometimes That Progressive, Liberal Guilt Is Really Obnoxious, Too - In Some Ways, I Think It's Better To Just Own It. It's Weird, That Actually, The Acknowledgement Of Privilege Or The Enactment Of Guilt Can Be As Obnoxious As Anything Else. It's A Never-ending Rabbit Hole. We're Really In A Rabbit Hole Right Now, With This Conversation. We're Just Spiraling Down Into The Void.

I Like How Blogging Emulates Fandom Because It's So Completist And Spontaneous. It Really Mirrors The Way People Listen To Music, And I Like That Fluidity With Online Content.

For Film And Television, It's Interesting How Fans Feel That Their Particular Ways Of Manifesting Their Affections Are The Correct Ones. It's Not Just About Being A Fan, It's About How You Perform Your Fandom. That's Always Been Interesting To Me.

To Me, Curiosity Is Married To Optimism. And That's Where A Lot Of My Motivation Comes From. A Lot Of My Way Out Of Depression And Anxiety Is That Intersection Between Optimism And Curiosity. Because It Means Taking A Step Forward With The Hope That There Will Be Discovery.

I Think A Lot Of The Intention Of Bands, Especially In The Last Year, Is To Spread Themselves Out Geographically And Borrow From Different Cultures And Different Sounds, And To Be Eclectic. And That's Great In Terms Of Dynamics, But It Also Tends To Not Have That Torpedo And Fire Running Through It. If You're Spreading Yourself Out Across The Globe, You're Also Not Emphasizing A Singular Point, Which I Think Great Rock Music Has Always Done.
