about
I love the internet. I also hate the internet.
lyrics
We’re douchebags as a species collectively,
incontestable premise and so the subsequent question to me
is what role, did the internet play? Did it cause said douchiness? Or simply shine a ray
on a long-since pre-existing, widespread phenomenon
of humans acting douchey for generations and on and on.
"But douchey how?" Is maybe your question,
well first and foremost, it’s this seeming obsession
with external validation for our very existences,
chasing likes, comments, views, with persistence.
Decisions no longer based on what feels right for us,
but rather on what generates the most likes for us.
But you can’t take likes with you when you die,
so why do we spend so much of our time
tryin’ to generate ‘em?
An entire generation
obsessed with blue thumbs and red hearts for motivation.
But fleeting the sense of fulfillment that they provide,
so we need more and more likes to maintain the high.
And so the screen time increases,
living life in pieces,
neat and postable, otherwise they seem meaningless.
Well I’m sick of the cycle,
see I’m seeking something more significant than just some likes y’all.
I’m not quite sure what it is yet,
but I do know I won’t find it on the internet.

The Allergies are one of my favorite music artists, hands down! This inspired funky as can be music is so addictive, be warned. It ranges from funky soul, Northern Soul stylings, 60's styled Motown or Spector, Conscious Hip-Hop, Latin, Gospel, 70's Soul; my favorite is more like my favorite tracks, (plural): Every Trick in the Book & Get Yourself some, not a dud track. Honestly, you won't be disappointed.**DJs & Audiophiles comes on double Orange pressing at 45 RPM for club.
