Your pointless thoughts & observations

I always thought Merzbow makes noise music because it's just fucked up noises and what's not to like about that? But it seems he tries to express the pain of animal cruelty in industrial life stock farming. I for some reason got his email address so I could ask him if that's even true but I don't care about his music enough to do that.

Supposedly Steve-O snorted some HIV positive sprinkled coke blood but he's fine. No HIV to be found I guess since the virus doesn't live for long when it's been lightly sprinkled on some cocaine. Science.

I also remember during the 2016 presidential debates that the late Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) pointed out that Trump's sniffing was "absolutely" a symptom of the smack.

(Probably belongs in Trump thread, but I figured still relevant)

Or fucking virgins...

I was just at the dollar store and some dancing crack head tripped me by accident; he then walked up to me and started mumbling to me while continuing to dance. It was kinda funny actually :cisfor:

An in-depth read on YouTube's "adpocalypse" and the mass demonetization of original content creators (from last April, but still quite relevant): https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/5/18287318/youtube-logan-paul-pewdiepie-demonetization-adpocalypse-premium-influencers-creators

I think everybody's in consensus that YouTube's execs are shady scumbags by sucking up to Hollywood and other corporate outlets and denying amateur creators the opportunity to blossom in a lucrative way, no matter how hard these creators try to make their videos advertiser friendly. Plus YouTube Rewind is pretty much dead now, since YTR 2018 become the most disliked video on the platform's history. Could have been the most viable form of retaliation at the time from the grassroots community.

And now there are increasing calls for an exodus to an alternative video platform. I've heard of BitChute, but it's too plagued by alt-right propaganda. There has to be another. Maybe this next decade will provide the answer.

The only ad that I'm conscious of being influenced by is that one coke ad featuring the CG polar bears.  That makes me crave coke every time I see it in the theatre. 

 

Do they still make coke ads with the polar bears?

this is more relevant than ever, getting worse every single day. original creators on youtube and especially animators are the most important and most screwed-over people in the game right now.

It's kind of a combination of both.  The first decade of his career was just about the pure rebellion of the genre, and was mostly inspired by dada and fetish pornography.  He said in an interview that he wanted his cassettes to feel like really disgusting pornographic images that you'd find on the ground in a dark alley or something like that.  Later on he became more focused on protesting reckless industrial consumption.  The early '90s were kind of a transitory period, both in sound and in ethos.
