Yeah, this is a rant.
I live in a place where the majority of what plays on the TV all day is either some gamer’s feed or the opening and or ending songs from animes. That second part is the strangest. Seriously. I don’t come from a reality where people sit around and watch/listen to show theme songs. I get familiarity–we watch episodes weeky at least of all types of shows. However, I cannot fathom the Knight rider theme being on playlist in standard form. Remix, yeah… looped as a sample? yeah. But we are talking about these songs playing as is on repeat on constant. It defines the environment.
I suppose what bugs me is that I play almost no role in defining the environment in which I live. Maybe Sundays during FB season, but beyond that I exist on the edge of these spaces. It bugs, but not as much as the selfishness implicit in most of the young people I am around most of the time. This includes my kids.
Perhaps I am just tired. I have slept little in the last few days. Almost not at all last night.
