  • One big issues is you used to be able to get materials for the same or similar price points as the manufacturers. So things you could build yourself, housing, furniture, etc., you could really save money on. Then the capitalist realized they could buy, and resell, all the materials at marked up prices. So it no longer is cheaper to build yourself when the other capitalists can get those same materials cheaper, export as much labor as they can, and give you a product that is not only cheaper than doing it yourself but also takes less of your valuable free time. Free time which no one has because we are working our lives away for other capitalists.

    What is the saying about Ikea/premade furniture? Something like “I can build something just as good for twice the price.” ?

    And it’s not just that kind of construction. Premade PCs are often cheaper because the makers are getting the materials at cheaper prices whereas when we go to the market for components they are heavily marked up.

    So many hobbies and diy stuff is like this. Hobbies popped up using different things because those items were cheap and affordable. Once a market developed for them they crank up the prices and people move to the next thing that they can afford. Until there’s nothing left. So we sit on our phones and/or TV all day and rot out brains out because there is nothing else we can afford to do.



  • Basically anything were the music doesn’t flow well with or without vocals. There’s no specific genre although I would say rap has way more of these types of songs. So much of it feels like an attempt at just talking or yelling to a rhythm while some music plays in the background. Then there are rap songs that flow amazingly well with the music and sounds great.

    That being said there are lots of types of genres that do this and also like, sub-genres. Like I really like a bunch of different kinds of metal. Bother ones that are more like hard rock and ones that are more instrumental. Ones that have different ethnic themes etc. But I HATE. HATE screaming and growling metal. I cannot listen to it. It sounds stupid to me. My favorite band has some killer songs, with the best instrumentation and vocal flows, but then half way through some of them they will start the growling and I will just cut to the next one.
