      To be fair they have the good sense to know someone should be in charge of them. Like, you told them they can have a voice in politics and their immediate reaction is that they are not qualified to have any input in how things are run. So I gotta respect the self actualization there.

      Hey, do you mind telling me what these screenshots are from? Based purely on the vibes of 5 stills from some (I assume) movie/TV show, I now want to watch it. Unless it’s super extra terrible, but even so I might still enjoy it. So please, UlyssesT, tell me what ridiculous slop you took these images from so that I can watch it!

      Thanks!

            Let me know what you think. It was a cultural marker for its time: boomers were getting inarguably old, were trying to keep younger people out of power, and suburban blight was at its peak.

              Well. First of all, it was great and dense, I’m going to need to watch it a few times to understand it.

              Second of all, it was creepy as shit. Is it supposed to be scarier than some scary movies I’ve seen? Maybe it’s just that the things it’s meditating on (suburbia and ennui, I think, I bet there’s more) are terrifying to me.

              All in all, great song, great music video, I’m going to watch it a few more times before I have a real take on it.

                The band claimed that it “didn’t mean anything” but I still think there was some subtext there, perhaps even subconsciously, that speaks of the (very real, and I lived it) ennui and malaise of white affluent culture in the 90s.

                  Haha, that’s some hilarious bullshit! No one makes meaningless art, come on now! Well, good for them that they made art during “the end of history”, when you could pretend you were making “meaningless” art. Fucking idiots.

                  But yeah, I’m a little too young to have experienced the ennui of the 90’s, sounds like a whole ass situation. (Although, in some ways, tbqh, living a materially comfortable life where your biggest worry is fucking ennui doesn’t sound so bad. I wish I could rent an apartment to be sad in for a reasonable amount of money, you know?)

                  Still, the music video was terrifying, so obviously it’s not all fun and games, even if you can afford your basic necessities
