# are fiends electric
to consider 'who cares' as the answer; once popular songs reminiscent of an era which never existed as anything other than a giant painted cardboard product advert for itself
in which researchers vaguely consider electronic type midnight pop art with naff leather trench coats and lab pseudocode keypads
yet whenever researchers listen to the mighty rollins they wonder what all that weak retro jive was all about as hank just destroys
such times however keep on rolling back around a sad sour digital penny
some laughably suggest there was some kind of great balance between good technology and spending free time outside with friends yet that fine line has somehow since been crossed
that there was a buzz in the air and 'everything' was just happier before social media sucked all of the energy out of the world and grounded it resulting in burn out information overload and an inability to 'just enjoy the moment'
which is the biggest load of old digital tom cobblers every heard
as though all of it wasn't always borderline rubbish
such truthy truisms are often stated by cybore punks only just squirted from ir missing dad's tired sack one point five minutes ago yet who already somehow feel hyper nostalgic for some vague synthetic past they were never neurally equipped to fully get any remote holistic sense of in its apparent rich complexity
yet they sure love to reminisce about it online - hoo boy do they ever
thing is late nite ambient vibes about er something or generating a moodboard isn't knowledge it's just 'big science'
fuzzy thoughts about particular era have next to zero meaning and are too often merely a media weaponized crutch used by researchers who won't andor are unable to use more actual cognitive processing to describe or convey a complex concept or sentiment
such inconsequential attempts to capture and disseminate the feeling and soul of specific yet continually shifting spacetime dislocations are often merely an unflinching craving for undeserved human attention
still smarter researchers in-scene consider such non uniquely awful times mere implanted memories of positively medieval mediocrity
