Audiences at concerts stare blankly at musicians playing instruments that resonate nothing... Everything is getting shitty. Too much fucking information. I think we're at a point where everything's kinda already been said -- also, it's SO EASY to say things now, with the technology we have. We're living in a reality that shouldn't exist; there wasn't a physical annihilation, just a spiritual one, right? An emptiness in existence, everyone in a panicked state of confusion, aggravation, uncertainity. Only people with a little bit of intelligence truly realize that but i think that it's kinda resonating in everyone whether they admit it or not. Everyone's trying to do something to fill that void in their lives, that emptiness that permeates, we try to recreate experiences because actual human emotions and interesting, new experiences are all DEAD. Art is dead. Remakes of sequels of remakes of variations on the same bullshit theme that is a homage to a corpse of the 70's. Truly original and interesting experineces don't happen, we're simply trying to copy them. I like the internet, but you know what? It's turning us into fucking zombies. I see more and more people on the internet, more and more, 24/7, we're eventually going to just live online. The people truly trying to do something original are ignored because people gravitate towards simplistic, established, dull bullshit. Look at a band like Wavves. I like them a lot, but really, people have been writing songs like that for so many fucking years, the same shit has been said before, it's not some "new thing", it's the old thing repackaged just like everything!... Then again, just the idea that people are still making good songs at all, no matter how simplistic and easy to "get" makes me happy in a way. Contradictory? I don't know. I'm just as confused as everyone else about all this. I truely feel like I'm at a point in my life where I can barely relate to anyone on anything, like the things I'm interested in are only things that interest a small handful of people. Most people I know just want remakes of great experiences that other, more interesting people had 40 years ago it all seems so foreign to me. It all seems so foreign to me... well, this young generation isn't accustomed to anything else. Maybe they can't differentiate sometimes. I dunno. I dunno what I'm saying. I think I just feel completely disconnected from most people, their motivations and their actions and so on. I'm not blaming anyone, I just wonder why I'm so different.
