      @@JasonTopo Well, if you look at popular music as far back as The Beatles they were inspired by avant garde composers (Stockhausen, Cage) and more niche underground music; you got this in the 90’s, too, where people like Madonna wanted to work with Aphex Twin, who also influenced Radiohead and even John Frusciante. I think I was a bit wrong to say “always”, but it happens a lot of the time in popular music.

      @superclarendon8648 2 роки тому +8

      I think facilitating evil and being evil (evil in this case not being gore, but corrosive, hateful, ignorant, destructive etc. speech and ideas) can and do overlap. I think by thinking the opposite that you excuse the worst of humanity as just being our “nature” and not a choice (I don’t mean to offend you, I just want to share my take). Additionally there are the practical examples/arguments as the other commenter mentioned, about how strongly immoral behavior is used to administrate and preserve the internet service, amongst others.
      When thinking about internet gore though, and I think you implied this, I believe the disgust is justified. I personally don’t think it provides any further constructive value or fulfills a necessity: therefore, I don’t think it has much of a right or reason to exist.
      However, thinking about the scenario presented in the video, I think it’s better to be level-headed and attempt to understand than to jump to being reactive and destructive. Although, this scenario is inherently surreal and unrealistic, which muddies the idea of what the “right thing” to do was, but if you’re taking it seriously then I have to too for the sake of argument.

    'how do you play with the fabrication of your reality through your symbolical experiences of a plural yet individual past?'. this is a perfect representation of a present of lost futures forever haunted by historically symbolical 'ghosts'. It is post-modern, hyperrealistic and dualistic: the past haunts us and we haunt the past by trying to get it back.

    The main problem in hauntology is not only the cultural obsession that stops the progress but also the destruction of any believeable hope that can ever follow such a unique time like ours. Humanity came from large communities of disconnected individuals with little information to a huge connected collective of individuals with too much information to take in. We are really lost but never alone (in a way).

    This trope from media of parents destroying the unknown rather than attempting to fathom it, as if they see the existence of it as a defiance to their un-questioninable authority has always baffled me. I've had my things destroyed like that, out of petty showings of dominance. These actors play a perfect broken family. A violent narcissist father, a slightly sympathetic but ultimately enabling mother, and the estranged child who's identity struggles so hard to exist in this environment that it is forced to drastic measures, using every resource available to express themselves.
    This is a song about living tragedy, violence against the self, and a loss of trust. The skater, losing herself to survival, her trust of the safety of the park going away. Mama losing her driving will in the face of the beyond, her trust in life itself is gone. The teen, struggling to have a self at all, loses trust in the only ones they should be able to depend on.
    the common theme, is a complete submersion into the self. And thru all the violence from others, the world, or even life as a whole, identity thrives.
