1/3 Imagine if someone tried to poison an incredibly creative family. But, instead of dying, the family just got sick.
As they recovered, the painters in the family painted pictures of poison, the family poets wrote poison poems, the songwriters wrote songs about being poisoned

Some of it was about how to defeat the poison. Some was about strength, resilience & recovering from poison. Some was just about joy in spite of being poisoned.
And some of the art, poetry & songs was about vomit, diarrhea, & the EFFECTS of being poisoned

People don’t really buy poetry & art. But they LOVE music. Soon, poison songs become popular—even the ones about shit & vomit. Then, people start thinking that it’s cool to have been poisoned! And if being poisoned is cool, you know what’s even cooler?
Poisoning people.
Poisoning people.
There are still people who sing about defeating the poison. There are still people who sing about surviving the poison. In fact, MOST of the poison music genre doesn’t sing about poisoning people and even the ones who do (and this is important) HAVE BEEN POISONED!
So why don’t we ever hear all these other songs?
Who distributes the music? Who creates the streaming algorithms? Who puts millions of dollars into the hands of shitvomiters & none into the hands of the poets?
Also, remember how this whole thing started:
THEY.
POISONED.
US.

Who do you think did that? And, more importantly…
Do you think they stopped trying?
