yeah, when i first started going to college i wanted to major in histroy and become a teacher. and then i realized that by being a teacher i have to deal with students. then whenever covid hit i said fuck it and dropped out. going back because im 24 and got nothing to show for it.

I really want to go back and finish out my undergrad, but I feel like a dumbass whose time has passed on that. I get reminded every day that scheming business owners will use ChatGPT to do the jobs I likely would have done anyway, and the last time I was in college, I felt like Billy Madison and I was like, 24/25 then. Hopefully both of you reach graduation.
Plans for this dumb summer:
-Go to a bunch of shows (of course), TIHC
-file a claim at my old job or find a new one, whichever applies
-Community pool is practically across the road from my apartment; I should go swimming-
-Check out some more record stores for CDs
-My credit score took a huge shit on me; I have to dig around and find out what the fuck that is.
-Other random bullshit
-Maybe make new friends somehow...almost everyone I came up with moved away or is married with kids and a real good job now

Also, since this is a board for hardcore music and whatnot...what kind of music do other college students fuck with today? My college years were chiefly 2005-2010, and even though college has a lot of normies and all that, you could still find all stripes of people. You could find The Strokes loving hipsters, #1 Tool fan mushroom/weed guys, classic rockers, Warped Tourers, radio fans...my college roommate played Cobra Starship at frat parties and all those people loved it. This seemed to filter out to Iron & Wine hipsters and RHCP fans when I went back in 2013. I took a stroll around my campus and everyone looks like a fan of either whatever rap is poppin off at the moment or Taylor Swift. I found 2 deathcore kids and gave them the metal horns, though.

I feel like the peak of that band was just over a decade ago, but they still do huge arena tours when they play in the states, so maybe you're right.

I feel like outsourcing all music discovery to Spotify manifested as everyone scraping off only the bands that reached the top of their respective genres. Fantano essentially replacing what Spin Magazine used to do didn't really do any favors either.
I used to be able to see a bunch of shitty metalcore, punk or indie shows right in town. No one seems to be doing that anymore.

No one seems to be doing that anymore. one time i saw some tik tok or something of a guy freaking out about whirr because he heard of them through the spotify algorithm and didnt look into them any further, and when he finally he did he was like "how did this happened???" y'know despite the fact that that band being attention whores is all there is to their legacy. like fuck, do people not like to read about the bands they like? cant tell if this is a normie thing, a zoomer thing, or both. |

Is the Whirr thing easy to find at this point in time? I only really remember that because of their Nothing affiliation, and because I was online when that took place.
