Scenes, music, writing, etc, have devolved into vignettes, aesthetics, pure signaling. The internet has shredded any type of gatekeeping, hazing, continuity, passing of the torch that is the foundation of a real community.
Reading this feels like being brainwashed. Taking the twitter thread out of it's natural habitat really shines a light on how parasitic it is. It's like reading a bunch of mantras, brain rot hail mary.
Also digital currency be damned this is the new money.
Also not to critique too hard, but there are a concerning amount of em dashes in these tweet paragraphs. I really hope these weren't written by AI. If they were, maybe that's some sort of satire that's going over my head. Interesting stuff though
When you set yourself the rule of keeping each paragraph under 280 characters and struggle to squeeze a flood of thought into it—one-two characters per em dash matter. And I followed the 280-charatcre restriction al the way.
No foul play. No ChatGPT. Just intellectual honesty.
(But might reconsider it now, as em dashes are discredited indeed.)
Interesting article. I liked the analogy of the bees pollinating plants. I wonder how that analogy interacts with dead internet theory and the proliferation of AI slop content.

If it’s dead, then it’s flies, not bees!
