thinkpiece: The Millenials have cultivated a nihilistic, absurdist brand of satirical humor as a response to a cultural environment where
the traditional social order has collapsed into chaos because of rapid technological advancement, economic downturn, and endless war (much like the dadaists after WWI)
sincere admissions of despair are seen as somewhere between embarrassing and obnoxious and the only acceptable way to express negative emotion is by disguising it in witty, share-able quips
violence, sex, and profanity have become commonplace in the media and the only remaining frontier of shock value is absolute nonsense like “while you were having premarital sex i was dehydrating tangerines.While You Wasted Your Days At The Gym In Pursuit Of Vanity I Was In Hospital With Scurvy”
concept: Donald Trump is sacrificed to the gods. in return, they save the bees, the refugees, and trans kids from any and all harm. gun violence no longer exists. Democrats control congress again. all the shelter animals get a permanent home. the minimum wage is a living wage. my girlfriend and i rescue a cat for christmas. Bernie Sanders is president.
I’m just very emotional. People often see being emotional as a weakness, so I really wanted to write music that changed that perception, and made me feel strong. The album is about that, but through the life of Cry Baby. It’s about how different experiences shape her, and help her become who she is, which by the end is someone who’s crazy and emotional, but confident and comfortable in it. I think over time it helped me do the same thing.
Cry Baby is a fucking treasure & if you don’t know that you need to reevaluate your life.
Friendly reminder to check you’re not holding tension in your body. Let your shoulders drop, unclench your hands and jaw. Take a deep breath. Much better.
I am forever holding tension in my jaw. Thanks for the reminder! :)
From ‘feels’ to ‘cinnamon roll too pure for this world’ to well…at one point I called them a unicorn. And then tried to explain it all by going ‘it’s an internet thing’.
All in all I totally realized that while I’m technically, legally an adult, I am in no way an Adult.
this is your periodic reminder that old-timey medicines did not fuck around
Yeah that’d probably handle a cough.
“skillfully combined with a number of other ingredients” what else did they fucking put in there
This picture is the definition of “just fuck me up”
one night to live, maybe
The best part is where they reassure you that the alcohol is less than 1%. Because you don’t want too much of that demon rum mixed in with the healthful cannabis, morphine and chloroform.
