  1. The other problem with depression and other emotional disorders is, unfortunately, that the answer to beating it sort of ends up being "get over it". At some point one has to just start to act against the feelings that they have, as painful as it might be. On the other hand, people who do conquer their depression can be even more well balanced emotionally because they have to learn how to handle things even when the feelings don't match.

     

    With bipolar disorder, I've gotten pretty good at recognizing and handling mania, and a bit for the depressive swings, but the problem is that I'm left with a bunch of bad habits left over from my procrastination and anxiety so that even when I'm feeling normal I still have a bunch of problems like extreme procrastination and an inability to feel close to people. The only way to really fight this is just to start acting against it, and not just blaming my poor decisions on my emotional problems.

  2. I know someone whose brother just committed suicide. He wasn't my closest friend or anything and I'd never met his brother, but that's I think the third suicide which I have been just a one friend away from in the past year. I don't mean to be an old man, but I do believe that our fast paced and busy modern society has something to do with it, especially the anxiety disorders.

  3.  

    stay the fuck away from conventional commercial SSRIs.

     

    This is not terrible advice. I think that conventional SSRIs can help, but one should be very wary of them. I was on cymbalta for awhile and as soon as I got a better psych he took me off of it. When I first went on it I was in a hospital within 3 days; correlation doesn't mean causation of course but considering that I'm bipolar it was probably not a good idea to put me on this in the first place.

    ^p.sure the brass in that track is being played by the skeleton in theinvasionboys' avatar

     

     

     

    lol! so true.. i was thinking same exact thing... would be cool to feature that skeleton horn player in the "stargazing with the company" music video (:

     

    yeah, he's a big mover and shaker in the upcoming VaporJazzscene..

     

    btw you've seen it already probs, but here's the original gif

  5. I'm gonna say that Y. Beckhirst is winning this thread so far, but Farrah and Tykylevits are great competition.

     

    Edit:

    Oh, and the OOBE/Snickers guy as well. Shit actually I don't know who my favorite is. Y. Beckhirst is probably the most "outsider".

  6. I know this has been the thread where Blank Banshee has been discussed, and that's fine, but it really isn't vaporwave. It has a similar subject matter (advanced coporatism) but I would group it with Fatima Al Qadari and that Humanity/MusicforYourPlants/Zoology/Exolab record, which are also brought up here

     

    Kinda hard to classify it, I mean, I could do it but I don't want to. Doing so could mess it up.

     

     

    MidiStep. EmulatorWave. MidiGarage. RomBoogie. CyberWonk.

     

     

    Basically it is a more ableton heavy crossover between some of the visuals of vaporwave (and less of the sonics), and the stuff on Diskotopia and ESP.

    i thought we'd given up trying to actually keep this thread to only one postmodern internet microgenre like 15 pages ago
