Such a good essay about a song I liked at the time but that @thejasonthayer.bsky.social transforms into a bigger story about boyhood and sadness and society. Also, fuck that gym teacher. @marchxness.bsky.social
02.03.2026 05:29 — 👍 7 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0A great @marchxness.bsky.social pairing: both essays note a correlation between sadness and, um, coercive doctrinaire religiosity. Lots of good stuff here—I'm esp digging @thejasonthayer.bsky.social's "a song about instability, clearly written by a stable person" & Drew's use of Amos' "Mr. Zebra."

Bush was the baby thrown out with the post-grunge bathwater. Mid-late 90s alternative wasn't all bad! This was my favorite song of theirs as a kid, and Jason Thayer does it justice.

Don’t let the days go by without reading my @marchxness.bsky.social essay on life as a ‘90s sad boy, aching to be beautiful and charismatic Gavin Rossdale, crooning “Glycerine” shirtless in the rain as a sea of sweaty MTV Spring Breakers sing along to yr heartbreak.
