I have a bad habit of commenting real time as I listen, so forgive me. But I spit out my coffee at Kristen Stewart dressing like ever grunge girl ever 30 years ago but thinks she’s Edgy™️
When I was in film school in the mid-2000s Clerks was unofficially part of the curriculum hahaha. 1) how to make a film on an extremely tight budget 2) look! It's possible for film students to make a whole ass indie film! 3) Did you KNOW that the reason the shutter didn't open was because they were only allowed to shoot inside was at night ?!?! Wow!!! Creative ways around restrictions!And it was shot on 16mm, YOU GUYS ARE SHOOTING ON 16MM TOO WOWIEEEE!!!
So, Kevin Smith and Tarantino were (and probably still are) gods amongst film students
Good stuff, nice to put some voices to these Substacks.
I remember as a kid being ‘into’ but not part of the scene around supposedly transgressive music; I went and saw Marilyn Manson a bunch of time, Ministry, all the heavy quasi-industrial shit available to an awkward ex-urban teenager.
Some of that stuff stood the test of time, most did not; and here I am 11 years out since my last trip to Burning Man and feeling exactly the same way about that. It was fun at the time, but what now?
Will being a reactionary *now* look cringe to my 55 year old self in a decade?
... sounds like a rebrading of 70's fake "contemporary art" bohemia which was proudly progressive and leftist... getting that ball rolling again by calling it "right wing".
About a quarter of the way through this. What a great conversation thus far. I always get a good laugh at the "Conservatives can't make good art 😠" hysterics from people who orgasm over dogshit like Night Country and The Last Jedi.

Punk Rock Only Fans. There it is. The next band I'm starting.
"I want to piss all you guys off"
3000% correct and I'm here for it
Excellent discussion of how transgressives changed. “Pride flag at a bank.” Exactly.
Really enjoyed recording this with you. Finally!

Singles is the film with pearl jam, soundgarden & c. Cameron crowe, maybe the least cool director of all time, did that one
Dazed and confused is set in the bicentennial year. Very shmoody film--Matthew mcconaughey had some great lines.
I too see much more in zoomers than in most millennials. In some I detect an insurrectionary spirit.
