Why Don't I Like Poetry?
Greetings! Today, I ask the question: Why can't I get into poetry? The answer might surprise you! Or maybe it won't. It depends on how perceptive you are, I guess.

Psychotronic Freakout! (Official Music Video)
Hot take: Take any poem, add in music, and you have a song. Take any song, remove the music, and you have a poem. Music is the main way most people in the modern day consume poetry.
I'd argue that's somewhat reductive to the craft of both song lyrics and poems, and does both of them a disservice. There's a reason "poets" and "songwriters" are separate demographics- what works as the lyrics for a really catchy hit song may not work so well without music to back it up (like "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson) while many poems would be difficult to assign workable music to ("Childe Roland To The Dark Tower Came" probably couldn't work as a song). While there are many songs which could work as poems, and vice versa, and a lot of overlap between poetry and songwriting (in Bob Dylan's discography, for instance) there are also many examples of poems that would not work as songs, and vice versa. If anything, in the modern day, music and poetry have become more separated- pop music continues becoming less cerebral and more simplistic, while poetry gets ever more pretentious and inaccessible for those who want to consume it.
@@NicolasSequeira You are right that there is some loss. Transferring music to poetry does cause you to lose some of the feeling contained in the music, and transferring a poem to music does cause the audience to not have the same perspective as in a poem, and they would not be able to take as much time to digest what they are hearing. I never said it would be exactly the same. It is just music lyrics and poetry do utilize a lot of the same tools, (rhymes, rhythm, etc) to the point where there are a lot of songs would still work as poems, and a lot of poems that would still work as songs. Many of the outliers that don't work can also be reworked into a poem/song to say something similar to the original. Remove repetition and add more meat to "Coconut", and maybe it can be an interesting poem. "To The Dark Tower Came" would be a difficult one to do in comparison, but it likely can be executed well if split into parts, and given some changes in diction to provide a better flow for the right melody. Although they are still different mediums, I do think music is the way most people in the modern day consume poetry, mainly due to the fact it is so niche most people don't pay attention to poetry outside of their high school English class. Even though pop is repetitive, a lot of older music stays pretty popular, standing the test of time.
@@berrydraws0 Like I say in the video, I'm not sure how exactly poetry is consumed on a national scale- but here in Denver, there is a small group of people who take poetry extremely seriously and belittle music. I imagine it's a very specific niche, but as a musician I actually feel ostracized by the poets
@@NicolasSequeira Yeah, that situation does sound like it sucks. I have not really found my niche, or people yet either. So far, I decided to focus more on designing and writing lore for creatures, and put my animations on hiatus. My general artstyle is weird in comparison to what other people do, and I do not know how to actually collaborate with other people. Ironically, if someone were to genuinely insult my stuff, I would probably become more motivated to prove them wrong, when compared to vague positive affirmations, and lack of feedback I usually get. When it comes to nation-wide poetry consumption, according to the source I found, in the US, poetry consumption appears to be around 12%, taking a slightly upward trajectory. The odd bump upwards at the end might be due to a change in curriculum, or pandemic (the data collection ended at 2022), but who is really to say? On top of that, it could be that the poetry readers are dispersed in such a weird way, most of them are in Denver. wordsrated.com/poetry-book-sales-statistics/

Great interview. Is someone in the band a mushroom hunter?
Not that I'm aware of
You look like an apathetic time traveler like you just don't care about it anymore like you're tired of jumping from timeline to timeline

Blah blah blah gosh your voice just rings through the whole house that has to be unbearable

@@knock4banquetmeals Yes- in fact I think I'd be pretty good at it
I know you do everything for a reason ♟️ what is the chess move of you having your long dirty hair though, because I know you wouldn't be doing it if there weren't any benefits there has to be some unspoken benefit tell me what it is
I don't think it's particularly dirty- you can wash long hair. I guess the benefit of it is that I've had it for my entire life and it looks good, not much besides that
Have you heard the way by fastball yet?

Peach time
Playing this while listening 🎧
These tunes are very bumpable
Yeah yuck (AI) it's grotesque and i see why it would be disheartening. Maybe just do these occasionally or when you feel like it. Your videos are fun. I do think your sci-fi novels will get big at some point as they're really good.
AI is cringe!
There probably are a few or you will inspire one or two here in Denver. Hopefully you will find them. Nice to see you so appreciated live. Slurpeehouse open mic was phenomenal for one example. All the artists actually were very unique and that night was over the top despite all the breaks.
Yeah, I think my influence is already starting to be felt. Some people are incorporating more new wave tendencies into their stuff
I have had someone read me this book vocally and it's hypnotic. The writing style is very stream of consciousness and another similar (earlier writing) hit me the same way.
True dat!
Groovy and psychedelic
This is one of my favorite songs of all time
Gay relationship simulator 101
I'm not sure how this could serve as a gay relationship simulator considering I'm not gay
@@NicolasSequeira would you allow me to paint the scene for you and explain how?
@@knock4banquetmeals Yeah, I guess. I'd be very interested to know how
I like the way by fastball its way better
I would argue this is better, but you do you I suppose
@@NicolasSequeira where are they going without ever knowing the way,,,,,the WAY
this sounds like if brian wilson did Benadryl and huffed gasoline

3 minutes in and i feel like im on fucking auditory acid. good.
My songs are best dripped onto the tongue
Another long night of dancing....just me this time, my wife passed from dance exhaustion a few songs ago...rip. im dancing with myself this time

Wow finally honest journalism
This is the type of hard hitting journalism I subscribe for
You will not find this sort of thing on CNN
Blackberry wine would technically be alcoholic, considering it follows the same process of regular wine, with yeast fermenting the sugars into alcohol. Other than that, interesting album.
It doesn't follow the same process, it's extracted from the chocolate river
@@NicolasSequeira Don't tell Augustus Gloop. He would want to steal all of it. Be careful and look out for fat kids.

I'm not sure what you're implying there, but thanks for commenting, I suppose
Stich in Time stars Michelle Forbes as Jamie Pratt, an FBI agent investigating a series of murders using a 9mm gun that didn't exist at the time of the murders. The evidence leaves to Teresa Gibbions a college professor played by Amanda Plummer. She was in grade school at the time of the murders. She has a time machine and goes back and kills convicted rapist murderers before they commit a crime. One detail is that one of the victims is Pratt's sister.
Yeah, that's how it is
thank you for bringing up these issues
Nobody can say I don't try
Didn’t watch your other vid but can relate to feeling typecast online based on disproportionate audience engagement :/ hope you keep doin you!
I cannot really avoid doing me
This whole arbitrary assignment of 'generation_' seems useless at best
I find that it works in certain aspects, although I can't say I buy into it completely. It's much more useful than astrology or whatever
@@NicolasSequeira Not sure what you mean by 'whatever'... (numerology etc?) but what certain aspects do you think it works?
@@consumerextraordinaire8209 The passage of time means that younger people will be different from older people
@@NicolasSequeira Wow, infinity is, like, so big, man
You may want to go back to learning basic arithmetic before claiming you're GenZ. GenZ can't be from the 90s, especially 97/98. That would make the majority of kids being born by millennials occuring at 16/17 years old at the most. You're not GenZ, you're a millennial.
I'm not from the 90s, I was born in 2002. 2024-2002=22. I am absolutely Gen Z, your math is flawed.
@@NicolasSequeira I've seen a number of people claiming to be GenZ but born in 97/98 which is millennials. 22 years though doesn't necessarily mean you're GenZ. GenX has 25 years and either silent generation or boomers forgot which is about 34 years of them. It's based on the average of when the previous generation started having kids up to when the average of that generation started having kids. Also if you have parents who are GenX then there's a good chance you're a millennial, GenZ are the kids of millennials which are what my little sisters kids are and my daughter who were born mid-late 2000s My sister is a couple years younger than me andI was born the final year of GenX. In some references a generation is every 30 years but most GenX only include 80 and not the following 5 years in it. As I said do some research in books.
@@desmien679 My parents are baby boomers who were born in the early 1960s and had me in their 40s. What generation your parents were doesn't determine what generation you are, all that determines what generation you are is the year you were born. Gen Z can have parents that are millennials, Gen X, or boomers, depending on when the parents chose to reproduce.
@@NicolasSequeira no it doesn't, it's the year which on average that a generation starts having kids, which means it's also not when the first people of the generation has kids but the average in men and average in women combined. Otherwise we'd have a new generation every 14-16 years.
@@desmien679 I'm not sure you have any idea what you're talking about- you seem to define generations as a successive series where each generation gives birth to the next rather than defining generations by who was born when. By your logic, since I was born to boomers, I'm actually Gen X.
I've found this video really interesting. I can definitely see where this is coming from, with romantic stuff often being a source of a lot of distress, unhappiness and a bunch of hours of me crying myself to sleep while listening to melancholic goth albums, I can absolutely agree with the point of it often being a very, in some ways, destructive thing. Yet it's also just a huge part of my life, and at the same time something that has lead to some relationships with a lot of positive moments as well. Would my life be better without the want/need for romance/sex? Maybe it would, I just can't really imagine it for myself at all tho, maybe that's why a viewpoint from an Aromantic/Asexual perspective seems so... interesting to me? Perhaps I am just trapped in a prison of primordial instincts without really realizing it or being able to think of a life without them very easily. These are just some thoughts I've had after watching this video... I think I might just look up some more stuff about the topic of asexuality/aromanticism. Its just such a (to me) different view on life and also, as a gay person I'm generally just interested in learning more about other parts of the lgbtqia* community as well. Thanks for making the video! It definitely got me to step back and reflect on my own life a bit, and I am glad to have discovered it!
It is a very interesting and surreal existence, albeit one with its own unique obstacles and circumstances
I thought this video was very interesting, you had a lot of takes I’ve never heard before! I am also aro/ace and I’ve luckily managed to make friends with a few close people who rarely talk about relationship stuff- though I don’t mind when they do as long as they aren’t getting graphic about it. (I wonder if there’s a difference between how graphically men and women talk about sex/relationships with their friends? My close friends are all women) Going to college helped a lot to find those people but really doing anything related to your interests is a good way to find other people who are more interested in talking about board games or writing than romance/sex. I also understand simultaneously feeling alone in the world but also like I don’t want to be around anyone. I would be fine not talking to my friends for months, talking to people and just being perceived at all are very anxiety-inducing. But it’s nice to have someone to talk to about my interests I hope you can find friends who share your interests and have better boundaries around talking about personal relationship stuff so you don’t feel so out of place. But if you’re comfortable not having friends, good for you! As long as you’re living your best life I’m happy for you :)
I do hear quite often that a lot of aro people avoid contact and don't like interaction, but I actually enjoyed it a lot until I realized that everyone was having sex and flirting, and being friends with me wasn't enough for anyone on its own terms. I guess maybe I became addicted to friendship without realizing it, and it's actually bad for me- I probably shouldn't view it as universally positive in the same way I don't view romance as universally positive
Who is doing romance? Nobody or they're all just role-playing.
Romamce
I think you need better friends bc a lot of people don’t only think abt sex and romantic partners 😂
Everyone seems pretty lonely and desperate in Denver for whatever reason
@@NicolasSequeira understandable
That's really good advice. Thank you, bro
It's what I was sent here on the rainbow bridge to offer
thats called looks, not identity. for indentity you actually have to put in some work, the gen z's strong power LOL
Aesthetics can serve as a component of identity
It just started w looks but went a lot further.
2:11 is honestly the truth tho
I want to believe
Don't worry, Nic. I also exist
That's what they want you to believe
Im really glad you made this video and that I found it!! Im on the aroace spectrum too and Im realizing more with each passing day just how much I've been conditioned to plan my life around romance etc, and just how much it doesn't feel right for me. Please keep sharing your thoughts on this topic, I think your input can help to decrease the stigma and help us to connect with others that are allosexual! I relate to that loneliness...Fully. I appreciate the way you word things!
It is fascinating how many aspects of life are designed to revolve around romance, the more you consider it
Editor's note: At 8:45 I posit that romance may be the most destructive force in human history, however upon second thought I've realized that the most destructive force in human history is likely religious conviction
do you listen to oingo boingo? top 5 new wave bands (it not no.1)
Yeh, I like me some Oingo. I like "Dead Man's Party" most, I would say
I think I heard his mom yell out: "Dinner's Ready!"
I don't think so, I typically make sure to film when she's asleep or out somewhere. If you did, though, I guess that's neat
