Fellas what the hell is goin on here

I get how the whole “listening to music as a dick-measuring contest for who can listen to the most obscure band” thing can get grating sometimes but I don’t think people realize just how vital that phenomenon is for new up and coming bands to get a foot in the door. it’s understandable to be annoyed by hipsterism but unless you want all music to be industry plants and former child stars you’re just going to have to accept it as part of the social ecosystem.
most of your friends probably won’t go around hyping up your amateurish self-released bandcamp project, but you know who will? the most insufferable hipster jackass you’ll ever meet.
[your best friend playing your music in front of someone else]: yeah haha this is my friend’s band… i know it’s kinda weird and rough around the edges but i’m kinda into it… if you’re not tho i’ll turn it off.
[pretentious music guy you’ve never met before playing your music in front of someone else]: yeah so i found this on bandcamp and it completely blew me away, no one is making music like this today, it’s so raw and experimental and interesting, i can’t believe they only have 3 listeners on spotify, they’re brilliant, frankly if you don’t like this music you should kill yourself,

“seek therapy” “get help” “this person is unwell” why is it that you are still of the belief that rendering a moral judgment is more tasteful when expressed obliquely via the language of health and the psychiatric normalising project. “it’s not that deep” why is it that you are still of the belief that the rhetorical slippage between health and morality is funny and not coercive or violent. why has this particular style of witty retort maintained such a hold on people who consider themselves leftist and do you perceive yourself as making fun of genuinely ill people or are you simply enjoying larping the medicalisation and pathologisation of anyone you can argue deserves it. quickly now
