Soft alternative rock and pop culture are draining your potential

"I believe the greatest characteristic of genius is, above all, force."
- Gustave Flaubert

Art gives us different ways of discussing and portraying important things. When reality becomes too painful, it's easy to slip into the passive mode. Passivity and escapism will never let you discover your potential.

This is a form of censorship. Both self-censorship and fear in the public eye. The fear of being different.

The cliche of government sanitisation is just a diversion. There's no need for an oppressive government if narrow-minded people can dominate the creative fields.

One of the biggest symptoms is music and art turning into pure escapism. Harmless and formulaic playlists promoted by algorithms. These are mainly driven by popularity and commercial obsessions.

I didn't care about popularity in school as a kid. Why would I care about it now?

Critical thinking, creativity and curiosity are not compatible with self-censorship. Anyone who's creative or interested in the results of imaginative work: look around you. Now is not the time to soften the blow.
