Kafka was a genius author but an annoying little emo bitch of a human being.

I don't even know what your first sentence is supposed to mean. Too bad punctuation isn't pvnk.

What musician worth listening to isn’t talented?

You started.

Yeah, he seems to have hidden his inner little bitch well. Some of his letters are ridiculously cringey.

[grindy]

That's cool.
Sorry for busting your ass a bit, it's just bants.
Genuinely hope you'll figure your **** out.
As much as once can figure one's **** out in this absurd world of ours.

I think elph is just desperately clinging to punk/post-punk doctrine about how anyone can make music. Like, no, dude. You need someone with artistic instinct or else you just have some guy's mixtape who hassled you in a 7-Eleven parking lot.

[The Batlord]

It'll probably be just some guy without any imagination doing just another bad impression of Wakka Flocka Flame and don't pretend like you'd be the least bit excited by a mixtape you got from some random ******* at a 7-11.

P Orridge says there's no such thing as "the musician" there's only sounds and some will appeal to you and others won't just like anything else

She’s extraordinarily talented btw

You'd feel put upon and you know it.

P-Orridge prefers genderless pronouns, usually first person plural, but is O.K. with female pronouns. Her life, she said, was an experiment that was still playing out.

I had a friend who’s a very longtime fan recently tell me it’s “she” and “her” but idk if that’s the most current or what honestly

[The Batlord]

It does make you feel like a snowflake to say "they" or "them" or "their" but honestly it's not that hard when you're thinking about it.
