Musically, I love ambience, chaotic composition, and unconventional catchiness (or a combination of these).

"I think I'll save death for last."
- Craig Benzine

Some thoughts:

I thought I'd mention that I only rate music that I truly like. To be honest, the only arguments regarding the quality of records or shows that tend to speak to me are those from people who actually love them. Everyone's got an opinion nowadays, and there really is a niche for everyone, so I've become quite bored with people complaining on and on about stuff that they have no vested interest in one way or another. This is the same for shows, films, novels, the whole lot. In a world of voracious consumption and commodity fetishism, I grant a lot more credit to people who focus on truly investing time, effort and emotion into what they love - rather than treating it all like a buffet, like "yeah I'll have that, and some of thems, but ew not that!...", etc. Now I don't expect this to be the way everyone should go about cataloguing their tastes, but it's what works for me.

With that aside, I love art very much and it deeply motivates my most inherent intentions. My only goal in life is to be a good person, and getting lost in these narratives enables me to face each new day for the sake of myself and others, even in spite of getting the short end of the stick mentally, with a sort of wild cocktail of mental health issues I find myself dealing with.


Besides music, TV shows, and a hand-numbered selection of films and comics, I'm also enamoured with Bertolt Brecht's poetry, the philosophy of Ernst Bloch, and the N64 game Majora's Mask. I also spend an embarrassing amount of time rewatching homestarrunner videos.

If any of you are at all interested, here's my band's first album:

Cheers.

    Yeah, what you mention was horrible, especially the whole story on Victor Jara's death. I mostly meant it in every aspect but the cases of torture and the killings.

    I just had to comment to mention that I really like the philosophy you follow and wrote down on your description, about the opinions that actually speak to you and such! It's the same ideal I've always followed and, while I guess I haven't really looked that hard, I've never found anyone else who shared it and it feels refreshing finding someone who does! Especially in these past few years, I constantly run into people who listen to things that they pretty much already knew, preemptively, that they weren't going to like, and I just find that to be such a waste of time. I'm not gonna tell anyone how to live their life, but I think people could be wiser about the way they spend their time. I never listen to anything unless I actually think I'll like it, unless it's a recommendation from someone I have a lot of trust in.

    I also like that you strive to be a genuinely good person, something which I don't see very often with everyone being kind of a cunt to each other for no real reason (Especially when they have anime or manga avatars... But look who's talking lol). And I'm also glad that this all happened to be from another Latino, whom I don't see very often on this site :)

    Friendship request sent and received.

    I'm quite glad that my little comment could make you feel so well, especially given what your description says about your own personal struggles internally which I sympathize with. I don't have a terribly high opinion of myself so I don't think my comment was anything to write home about, but I'm glad it helped someone out at least just an weeny tiny bit. And don't worry about giving anything back for gratitude, it's not a big deal, but I do thank you for the friend request :)
