    Watching this post-election makes me feel the same way as listening to music made in that year pre-covid. Everything produced after isolation was some of the most pure, emotionally-charged work that this generation of artists released, and it felt so honest and relatable that we could all get behind it. Now, less than a week later, I'm watching this now-strange optimism that was floating around our entertainers, and the content after is epitomized by the emotional equivalent of bags under your eyes. And I NEED that right now. I need to be validated that last week's hope and faith were destroyed. There was a BTY before Nov. 5, 2024, there was a BTY before Jan. 20, 2020, and there was a BTY before Nov. 8, 2016. All of these people have changed and evolved into me today: the BTY that requires ART and ARTISTS who relate to, and reflect, my own emotions.
