[video] Zoomer Consooomer gets Red-pilled on Technology
Luke Smith responding to an email asking him about the intersection between technology and life.
In the video, Luke talks about how being aware of the implications of technology in one’s life doesn’t translate into having to reject everything modernity has to offer, but that being aware of those implications gives you the opportunity to make decisions that limit the negative impact of technology in your life.
Technology (or anything, really) is not inherently bad but being mindless about it can be detrimental to one’s life.
[video] Goth Bridge Rave: What Was The Cybergoth Dance Party?
The story behind this video:

How a meme becomes a meme is one of the most difficult things to answer since memes are a thing, so much that I have known about the cybergoth dance party since what seems like all my life on the internet, and yet it is now that I am learning it’s story.
It’s saddening how judgemental can people be without context, how those initial people lacking the context of the original video turned a seemingly wholesome comment section into a dump of hate and mockery and further obscured the probabilities of truly interested people to find it.
[music] [youtube] [bandcamp] REVERB LITE / WΔll Flowers : Midnight Escapades

A masterclass in good vaporwave, a dreamy experience filled with everything that made me fall in love with the genre back in 2016, slowed down vocals, chopped samples, overly repetitive dreamy loops, a retro atmosphere and an overall sound that can’t be found anywhere else.
~hold me~ and Dresser Money are my favourites from this album, the former having the perfect amount of repetitiveness, beautifully slowed and chopped samples in the first section and ending in a smooth saxophone section to ease the mood; the later completely different without sacrificing the feel, starting with a catchy slowed and down-pitched vocal sample, ending with a loop slowing down into a nightmarish effect, masterpieces.
