Morning, bitches!
People that create #art hit a breaking point where it becomes a struggle. But don't worry, corporate life lets you:
Pretend to schedule art which can't be scheduled!
Obsess over tools that don't matter!
Have meetings that are worse than doing nothing!
Corporate has your back!

There should be a word for neologisms you dislike but which unfortunately encapsulate the term. Like I find doomscroll annoying as a word but it’s kinda the word. Friendslop and enshitification are also on the list.

isn’t this just the concept of genre? What’s difficult to grasp? modern post-punk might not sound much like punk.
liberalism emerged from mercantilism under a monarchy, but you don't see me calling myself a royalist just because there's an unbroken chain of history between those political movements.
