I'm currently at the rallying cry. The discussion of the video is interesting.
My absolute favourite part of this video is that I *cannot tell* if the very loud feedback around 3:20 is technician error or band choice.

I'm starting to think there's validity to my theory my parents didn't like me listening to "this kind of music" because it gave me the strength to fight. They wanted me to break and submit, and Trent Reznor made me feel like I could tear down a house.
I do my strongest work when I'm listening to righteously angry music. It infuses me with feelings of fury and vulnerability and clarity that then infuse my writing. My writing then becomes incontrovertible, and "causing someone cognitive dissonance" is the best way I know to effect change.
One single allistic / NT person came to #TrentReznorAppreciationDay. This feels confirmatory of the theory I was testing.

I wonder if there's a limit on the number of hashtags you can follow...

Not a single allistic / NT fan of NIN yet.
I'm now on listen three for the day of The Fragile (Left and then Right), but this time I'm reading along:

Of course the lyrics are raw emotional and societal truths..It is angry layered fuckin' art.

Trent Reznor has done far more to advance humanity than Elon Musk has.
Edit: added "has" to last para to avoid a silly misread.
Another article about the genius of NIN's The Fragile (1999), describing the "double-disc beast" as pushing from alt rock towards art rock, and with some nice analysis of musical lineage.
But content warning: after the "We're In This Together" video, there is mention of torture.
Do you love Trent Reznor / NIN?

Headphones on for maximum volume and effect appreciation. (I had lost this option recently because I needed to be able to hear when my dog needed me.)
I started with A Warm Place and now am just letting the computer decide. Looks like we're going through The Fragile (Left) and then (Right) this afternoon. #ExcellentForStimming
