I also like being a member of your experiment.


Thanks for watching! Their music is pretty eclectic but generally falls into indie rock with a reggae influence. Bit of irregular beat, highly drum focused. Their lyrics tend toward emo, quite personal, deal with insecurity and sometimes the music making process itself, and are often very very clever rhyme.

I'm not much of a conversationalist but you can spend 34 minutes and 52 seconds with me watching this:

While I appreciate the effort modeling that, the camera movement was annoying and things took too long to happen. It also suffered a bit from the Heroes problem. That is, in a world where anything can happen, I'm not really invested in what does happen. Pretty neat idea and animation, though. Some of the music was cool. Didn't realize until late that the world was available in VR?

I'm not exactly young, either. And here's the thing. In my search of the most popular youtube music videos, I almost certainly found this band's most popular song. 2.4 billion views. I'm sure I saw it, and didn't think enough of it to even remember seeing it. But I met a big fan of the band, and I thought enough of them to give their music a listen, and I really liked it. I became a fan, and that 2.4B view song was one of the first that I came to really like. If someone important to you says it's good, you pay more attention. That's what's missing in my life. Someone who thinks highly enough of me that they'll listen, more than just skipping through, to something I value. I don't have that, and it is a miserable existence.

you are not alone in that kind of miserable existence, a lot of us here on WP experience this also. a cold comfort, i know.

Truth. For that matter, to be slightly kinder to any random person they encounter anywhere. I get it that people have their own lives and crap going on, but really, how hard is it to be a decent human being? *shrugs*In general, I'm not a person who needs a lot of human interaction. Too much of it messes me up. But I have noticed that a lot of people feel alone, even when surrounded by others. I wonder why it is that all of those people don't just be there for each other. I know I'm missing some obvious thing here and that it cannot be that simple, but it doesn't seem a bad start, imho.

one word - "Anomie."
