i used to base my personality around rejecting what everyone else liked in favor of more obscure, more niche, less likable stuff. but i then i grew up. and i realized that pop music is good.

yeah so i’m listening to tiktok hits and not a bad band with 0 production value with 200 monthly listeners sue me sometimes things are popular for a reason the real counter culture thing to do is follow your heart and sometimes your heart is generic pop music, chipotle, and the occasional marvel movie

being young is hard, you’re full of intense and volatile emotions, the world is an overwhelming and scary place, adults often lack patience or compassion for the intense experiences of youth, and music makes people feel less alone.
when i was in middle school/high school, people would make fun of me for listening to “wrist cutter music” (this was over 10 years ago). emo/alt rock/pop punk was pretty big then and a lot of it was pretty angsty and/or sad.
grunge was huge with young people in the 90s, and that was a pretty angsty/disillusioned movement too.
i’m not sure i see this as a new trend? i think the music itself changes but the appetite for art that speaks to these big feelings remains.

i have been thinking a lot about oversized suits lately. prob via osmosis of all this talking heads hype from the last year. w/e, i love the big blazer look. very "toontown villain". something about this style is a little untrustworthy, like ur a walking optical illusion. makes me want to start carrying things around in a briefcase: open to reveal just a shitty romance novel and a box of swedish fish.
anyway, in this movie, almost every single character wears an iconic suit of this variety, and i'd say it exponentially adds to its charm.
