Had VC existed 30 years ago, I imagine he would have had something to say about NIN. This youtuber Blackpilled, who can also be found on Minds.com has some very good insight.
Thank you for sharing this. I watched it 'til the end and I feel so related to it. We make so many excuses to not give up to emotional poison because we end up being prisioners of mass culture and "entertainment". Some of it is so explicit (like NIN), that it's amazing how we somehow accept it. But not me.
Again, thanks for sharing. I hope more people watch this post and Black Pilled's video.
Years ago, I woke up to the reality that many of my musical heroes weren't what I thought they were. I felt sick to be so attached to the music. It was my religion. It was my solice. I took every CD I owned and threw them in the garbage. A relief lifted over me. It was cathartic. I was no longer spiritually bound to that world.
Over time I came back to the music but on a different level. No attachment. Purely nostalgic, the soundtrack of my life. I still struggle with it.
