Mainstream perfume commercials

 

During recent years we have learned just how disgustingly stupid and narrow-minded the mainstream really is.

Apparently any kind of "acclaimed" work of "genius" is supposed to look like a perfume commercial. I guess in the case of Behemoth it's shit perfume. And in the case of Robert Eggers it's rotten eggs.

The profitable elite wants you to be a brainwashed disciple. These people sound like members of Heaven's Gate - the cult that committed mass suicide so that they could catch a comet while wearing Nikes.

The major record labels only want marketable muppets. Most of these bands sound like Hootie and the Blowfish. You can also thank Monetary Skyline for bringing back Hanson.

Most Youtube channels suck donkeyballs. I've been calling the site Donkeyball Central for a while now. That place is filled with idiots trying to please a worthless algorithm. You're supposed to do these things like your life depends on it, not your livelihood.

I don't give these idiots anything anymore - no views, no clicks. I don't buy their merch and I won't subscribe to their bullshit.

Before you say that I'm "bitter", please read everything written above one more time. And this time really think about it. The mainstream is worthless. As a serious artist, you simply can't play the same game they're playing. Some people think mainstream acceptance is always the ultimate prize no matter how stupid that system is. Why would I want to be part of it?

The real underground is creative and open-minded. If you're truly a creative person, apparently the established morons think you're living in a sewer.

It's time to say good-bye to conventional opportunists and commercial desperation. Enjoy your idiocracy.
