It's kinda weird how the modern indiesphere has made personal branding so complicated. There are just so many subgenres of music, and so many ppl trying to 'one-up' eachother when it comes to their historical knowledge of music that we have lost touch with core values of 'good music.' I remember when ppl used to unite around 'the best music in the world' instead of getting 'all divided' abt it.
I remember back when branding was all about 'peace, love, and music.' All three values were held 'equally', and all were just as important as the other. Kinda reminds me of 'Woodstock.' From what I understand, Woodstock was 'the first music festival ever organized', and often recognized as 'the most authentic music festival ever created.'
They are apparently making a 'new movie' about the Woodstocks called 'Taking Woodstock' (with my bros). I might see it, just 2 see what music festivals were like b4 they had sponsored stages and other 'corporate bullshit.' I feel kinda confused by the movie's aesthetics. Seem like they are trying to break into the 'college dorm room poster' market.
Just watched the trailer. Apparently the movie is done by the AZN bro behind Brokeback Mountain (miss u Heathbro). Feel confused by this trailer. It seems like some sort of movie that is trying to reach mainstreamers, becoming some sort of 'deep movie abt being a young adult during a cultural movement.' Also probably about 'hope', 'determination' and other vague ideals related 2 'the human spirit.'
Feel confused about movies with this Almost Famousy aesthetic. It seems like people honor them as 'being authentic' but they seem 'krappy' 2 me. Like something you would accidentally watch on TNT on Saturday afternoon, and think 'this was okay. I understand why old people/young people like it', but just weird that they are considered 2 be 'amazing.'
It's like the people who think these movies are 'awesome' haven't experienced the gimmick that is meaningfulcore music. Like they will never hear music that is 'better' than 60s + 70s music.
Kinda glad that the scene has evolved 2 what it is 2day. There really is more to life than 'peace', 'love', and 'music', and they don't really have much 2 do with 1 another. In order to feel special, u must make 99.9% of the world feel unspecial. I am okay with the way things are 2day.
