Every year ’round this time @Slate’s #MusicClub is a special holiday treat & this week is the 2021 edition, hosted by the intrepid @carlzolius & joined by a cavalcade of music scribes. Below, a thread highlighting all the profound pop ponderings thus far. slate.com/tag/music-club…
@Slate 1: Ringmaster @carlzoilus kicks off by defining the #GreatLanguishing & applies it to subdued returns from Kacey, Lorde, Billie &Adele. “The music that called on me in 2021 found a way to disperse some of these layers of existential fog.” @Slate #MusicClub slate.com/culture/2021/1…
2: @sashageffen on our hesitant return to live music & how Low’s new album, the #VelvetUnderground doc & a @100gecs show offered emotional breakthroughs. “A lot of the music I loved this year spoke to ways of untangling the ambivalence.” @Slate #MusicClub slate.com/culture/2021/1…

hostilarchy (n) - a system of rule by people whose unreflected, reactionary, anxiety-based aggression has been normalized, especially through existing and pervasive ageism, sexism, racism, ableism, classism, colonialism and other forms of oppression
(Latin 'hostilia' = 'aggression' + Greek 'arkhia' = leadership, rule, government)

Hostilarchy can be mapped within other social hierarchies, such that 'hostilarchs' ignore or neglect their own e.g. gerontarchical, patriarchal, white-supremacist, ableist, etc. behaviour(s).
Hostilarchy operates through normative relations of domination, such that hostilarchs perceive themselves as (or feel they should be) the 'top', 'dominant', 'alpha', etc. in familial, sexual, political, economic and other social relationships or contexts
