I love weird avant-garde shit and I have since I was a teenager. I was listening to weird shit like Sonic Youth, The Voidz, and Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music. I was practically mesmerized by David Lynch’s Lost Highway. I love weird art films. I love weird music that can barely be considered music. I don’t like to be spoonfed by any type of media and I think Netflix adding audible cues for people on their phones is shameful.
