there's that tiktok of that stupid man going around like 'oh, what if everyone is fake and i'm the only real person', and i know that everyone is dunking on him for being fucking stupid by posing that question, and that whole thing really is a completely different philosophical can of worms that needs to be unpacked. but like.
idk. sometimes, i legitimately think the opposite. like, no, i am the fake person. everyone else here is real. everyone else has rich inner lives and they're vibrant and they have friends and family and empathy and passion and interests and all that shit i yearn for (and have gotten really good at feigning) but don't actually have.
i just have like...like this stark anhedonia.
i'm the fake person. i'm completely empty. everyone else is real. i'm kind of just here.
and i truly do mean this in like the most neutral way possible. this is something i've more or less made my peace with. but sometimes i wish it wasn't something i had to make peace with, ya know? sometimes i wish i wasn't fundamentally separated from people and could just like connect. sometimes i wish i wasn't so empty. ya know?

as newjeans wraps up promotions, i would rly love to hear ur thoughts on their debut! im kind of iffy on some of the styling and songs bc of the members ages but i think that overall they were rly successful at establishing a distinct identity for themselves within the industry
broadly i agree! the totality of the marketing/graphic design/styling/production design are all very aesthetically uniform and by going for the more clunky end of the y2k spectrum (for the graphic design at least), it really visually set their promo apart, which does give you an edge in the current industry. personally their run up to debut was more successful than their actual debut, if that makes sense. the elements i liked the most were the website and the hype boy introduction mvs, but i find their music to be earwormy in a mildly annoying way and their concept is just not for me (like literally, it's marketed at teens and i'm a decade older than all of them), so the actual debut didn't make as much of an impact on me. i was initially a bit skeptical of their totally blind debut strategy it absolutely payed out with the hype boy mvs, which are such a good use of multiple narratives and also using the functions of the platform they are on. i'm pretty sure they're all public access now, but right when they dropped, only one of them was publically listed, so you HAD use the title cards at the end to direct you to the other three mvs, which were all unlisted. i've never seen a kpop company do that before, that's some straight arg level shit, which i am a BIG fan of.
i too am iffy about some things because of the members' ages (i like the choreo in abstract but not for 15yros, the styling the same, and what the fuck is up with cookie, jesus christ), but overall it was a pretty solid debut that established them an identity right away. i'll be interested to see how they follow it up with the first cb.
