■There was a point when I realized that everything I liked was
│underground through no intention of my own, and I kinda hate it, lmao.
│ヽ(´∩`)ノ
│
│Even if the light of the mainstream is radioactive and mutagenic to that
│which stands under its rays, it would mean I'd be able to talk about the
│shit I like with people.
│
│Some of it is underground in a "lol you fucking enjoy ____" way, while
│some of it is underground in a "I've never heard of ____" way, some of
│it is "I know of ____ but it's too hardcore for me", some of it (a lot
│of it) used to not be underground but it's not hip anymore, and some of
│it is just not being able to discuss eromanga with people (this one is
│fair, you can't talk about your hypnosis incest megane loli hentai with
│anyone in real life).
│
│The music I listen to is ancient/never was aboveground in any capacity,
│I watch kodomo anime and shoujo shows more than anything vs anything
│like what Crunchyroll is pushing these days. The games I play are either
│incredibly old, incredibly niche, or both. The shit I watch on YouTube...
│some of it is hyper-mainstream, but not much. I don't watch any streamers
│or anything.
│
│Some of it is me abandoning various forms of mainstream media, whether
│it be that I end up thinking it sucks, or because it's just like kinda
│depressing/infuriating. I don't watch broadcast TV at all and haven't in
│15 years. I don't have a streaming subscription service that I use. I
│dropped several major social media sites because the algorithm went
│insane and stopped putting anything I actually wanted to see in front of
│me in favor of bullshit designed to elicit a response.
│
│Even in the underground, I'm feel a bit too underground. I dropped 4chan
│after realizing that no one left actually wanted to talk about anything.
│I stayed on for years longer than I probably should have because there
│were pockets where I could still talk about things. They're not 100% gone,
│but they're gone enough that it just isn't worth the effort.
│
│I guess I still watch mainstream movies sometimes? Did anyone else see
│The Menu? That shit was great. I try to go to the theater to watch movies
│but the theater closest to me closed down, the next closest one is
│increasingly run down, the one close to where my friend lives is alright
│but that's far as shit, and the one close to the Round 1 arcade I visit
│sucks so we still have to drive to a different theater. (´Д`)
│
│It's not all bad (again, the light of the mainstream alters whatever
│stands beneath it in hideous, twisted ways), and in some ways, I feel
│smug as hell about it... but it's rough being quite this disconnected
│from things. ┐(゚~゚)┌
│
│either way,

└■I feel the same way
│-The most 'mainstream' stuff in my music collection is long forgotten
│techno from the 90s like Technotronic
│-The only books I read are literature reviews like 'Against
│Interpretation' or conspiracy shit that literally makes people angry
│when I bring it up,like about how musicians in the 60s were likely
│frauds with ties to the military industrial complex.
│
│-The last movie I watched was an Italian one from the 70s that was a
│great allegory about people who refuse to grow up and let things go
│(Maladolescenza)-- except I can't talk to anyone about it because it
│mostly features kids traipsing around the woods and having sex in caves
│-Ive never enjoyed video games. I keep trying but they bore me dead, so
│that's another thing I can't talk about.
│
├■Damn. I'm practically standing in the sun here versus your underground
││level. (⌒∇⌒ゞ)
││...but even still, it doesn't change the fact that it would be nice to
││have some non-niche interests. Doesn't matter how deep you go if being
││barely below the surface and near the Earth's core are treated with the
││same disinterest to the public at large. ( ´ω`;)
││
││What other music do you listen to?
││
│└■Well right now one of my favourite acts is the New Fast Automatic
│ │Daffodils ヽ(´∇`)ノ

│ │
│ └■I've also been enjoying listening to deliriously upbeat rave tunes

│
├■is this movie banned now? (´ー`)
││
│└■No, but it's kind of hard to find in decent quality with subs. I tracked
│ │it down to some Russian site after searching a bunch on Yandex.
│ │
│ └■they didn't REALLY have kids have sex right? that seems too far even for the 70s
│ │i'm assuming they implied it
│ │
│ └■As I remember they simulated it about as much as a typical adult sex
│ scene in a fairly explicit adult movie, which is going quite far, if
│ there are kids involved. I mean, the film itself even opens with a shot
│ of the young male character lying in bed on his back, completely naked.
│ There's no clever censorship or anything, you can just see his little
│ weiner (´∇`)σ

└■You sound like an annoying tryhard.
│
├■Maybe this world is too strange for you!

└■User: Time
I am. Otherwise I wouldn't be browsing an obscure imageboard with my
fellow tryhards.(´ー`)
