“Rip off” Intention is critical in this context. From formulaic pop that tactically lifts hooks to movie scores that are threaded with Mahler to tons of blues songs there’s a place for reference that isn’t a rip off. Integrity matters.
Being radically kind is a great response to all this madness. People are so ready for it and then it gets repeated and joy multiplies. Listening deeply, being patient and helpful to strangers is how to be cool.
Ok back to shitposting and replies. Fuck off. Muah.
I'll add- as a struggling addict, I’ve smoked way too much Devils Lettuce for breakfast. My drinking addict friends have had 3am wake up and chug vodka sessions. So.. you’re doing great! Have seconds!
