Because I intend to lol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess I&#8217;ll talk about a few things here and there, but for now, I&#8217;ll just post some random stuff.  I mean, random, in an unorganized way, as opposed to more controlled and methodical randomness, ofc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been plumbing the depths of Spotify lately- testing it&#8217;s limits; seeing how far I could take it&#8217;s back catalogues.  It&#8217;s been interesting.  Not everything in my archives is in there, but a good deal of it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems that the early 2000&#8217;s gothic underground stuff really was what it said it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course the Hot Topic type goth stuff- the AFIs, Evanescence and Lacuna Coil stuff was there, naturally, but the really deep stuff&#8230; is, mostly, but it does not have much in the way of listeners.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised to see that Cold Meat Industry has a playlist from a fan, but unfortunately Fossil Dungeon doesn&#8217;t.  In fact, as far as FD is concerned, their roster might as well not exist.  I mean, it&#8217;s there ofc- for the most part- but if a record is on Spotify and it has no listeners, does it <em>really<\/em> exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this got me to thinking, again, of the different ways that I could have taken all of this.  The cultural stuff, I mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, this is a big topic.  But it&#8217;s like&#8230; Britney changed it all, right?  I wonder what things would have been like without her.  But she was just&#8230; me, right?  Or a part of me, in a way, kind of like the others that followed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IDK.  A lot of the old metal stuff is on there, but not all.  Northern Heritage is underrepresented for obvious reasons.  Nuclear Blast isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, when I was trudging through the depths of Apocalyptic \/ Neofolk, I made a rather shocking and I mean truly unreal discovery, but, alas, it&#8217;s one I won&#8217;t mention in this post.  Maybe later.  But&#8230; holy crap!  lol.  Wowwwwww.  Still not sure how to even process it, honestly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other weird stuff&#8230; Terrorcore is on there, lelwut.  Weird stuff for sure.  Never could get into that stuff but&#8230; it&#8217;s on there, lol.  Maybe I&#8217;ll give it another chance now.  Merzbow is on there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia Rodrigo is on there, too.  Who knew?  LMFAO.  But&#8230; she is, tho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do I have weird taste?  I was thinking that I did, and that maybe that&#8217;s kind of the reason everything is so messed up these days.  It might be.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meg Donnelly is on there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Composer Paavo Berglund is on there.  Um&#8230; yeah, I need to stop, it&#8217;s literally after midnight at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woahhhhhh.
