Who booked it? The guy who booked it. It's me. I just think that it's funny that there's nothing about the poster that's LGBTQ looking. Like it looks like a trashy rave poster.

I have perfect speech. Is that all you have to contribute to that? Let me do the talking. No, I don't. I think that's misogynistic. I think the vocal fry, I get that too, but not as much.

She's very of the times. She's sort of like a representation of so much I think that has gone wrong, unfortunately, in culture and just the manifestations of how the internet has warped people.

And that's what we're doing today. But celebrities are these sort of like they're a way to talk about culture and they're sort of manifestations of culture. And especially in America, where celebrity is so intertwined with culture, like we have such a celebrity obsessed culture and the way we process culture so much through celebrities. I think it's important to talk about.

Well, I was not gay on Tumblr. I would caveat what you just said, which is I think that that is very true for probably most people. I, like Grimes, was in, although I don't know if she was living in, but I was living in Williamsburg at that time in the early 2010s. I moved to Williamsburg in 2009, the year that I blew up on Tumblr myself.

My millennial era. But living in Williamsburg in 2012, I have to say it was kind of like those TikToks where you see it romanticized, where it was like the hub of millennial culture and music culture and internet culture at that time too. Like the internet was so burgeoning and Tumblr, because this is pre- Instagram, you don't put your photos of yourself on Instagram yet. Twitter was ascendant.
