So fucking sick of people calling everything larping.

I’m aware this is kinda dumb, and is far from the worst problem in my life, but it’s pissing me off. My favorite album is AM by Arctic monkeys. And I get called a larper by Arctic monkeys fans all the time, I literally own all their main albums, and several EPs, and live album, on vinyl. Like I love Arctic monkeys, I don’t think they have a single bad album, and hardly have a bad song. But AM is a fucking masterpiece. It’s so incredible. And to have that opinion doesn’t make me less of an Arctic monkeys fan. There’s other examples of this too, like my favorite indi game is hollow knight, so people say I’m ‘larping as an indi fan’.

Liking popular things doesn’t make you a larper. I’d be a larper if I called myself an arctic monkeys fan and only liked AM, I’d be a larper if the only indi game I played was HK, I’d be a larper if the only doctor who doctor I liked was Tennent. Etc.

Looking for a very specific vibe that I’m not entirely sure how to describe.

Like more up beat songs, that also work to stare at the ceiling to. The feeling is really well captured in the scene in the boys that uses ‘psycho killer’ by the talking heads.

I think tame impala’s The Less I Know The Better also fits the vibe.

I really don’t know if I’m doing a good job articulating this lol.
