( No Title )
sometimes when i see people online throwing a wobbler about the supposed Problematic Media Consumption of strangers i remember my old coworker Lorraine who would frequently psychoanalyze people based on the music they listened to. To their face.
And how one time when I was giving her a ride home she was incredibly quiet the whole way despite being a very talkative person normally. And then when we got to her place she looked at me Serious As A Heart Attack and said “I hope you find room for Forgiveness in your heart because I am worried that you are headed for a path of revenge.’
And I was like ‘hey lorraine quick question. what the FUCK are you talking about?’
‘It’s your music,’ she said, Gravely. ‘It’s so Angry and Violent’. Now, have you any specific prejudices you may be picturing lorraine at this point as a middle-aged devout christian woman but no, she was a 24 year old lit student and neo-pagan. Once tried to sell me the idea that human civilization was kickstarted by cone-headed aliens in antarctica.
Anyway this post has gotten away from me, but just because a man puts his Mountain Goats playlist on shuffle,
This one escaped containment and people in the tags commenting "haha I bet she’d explode if she heard my metal/industrial/punk/Loud Music Genre playlist” and you have to understand that 1) lorraine herself was a metalhead and 2) it doesn’t matter because the key thing about the lorraines of the world is that they are Hypocrites
