well, the short version is that it's linked to an introspection of mine. but to give actual context to the title, i have to describe the mental state i was in right before the sprawling process of making this album. a month or so ago, i had a terrible realization about the unhealthy coping mechanisms i had caged myself in for so long. i was so afraid to think, i needed anything that could make the fog in my brain finally go away. sometimes, i just wanted to die. all of that, because i was too scared of understanding the world around me. but it led to me repeating the same self-destructive actions over && over again, to the point where i didn’t even realize something really disgusting had been happening in front of me for over a year. then, i finally understood it was all about nihilism. no matter how much my thoughts raced, they would just accept things as they are while spitting out constant information, causing me to hate myself + making me unable to actually think or change. so i began giving meaning to every little thing i was doing, using my fuming brain like a weapon, also somehow coming to terms with the fact that i can’t && won’t know everything in the process. this album is named *nihilism* because, to me, it is the best way to encapsulate my coping mechanisms into one single word. or at the very least, what i got from this really weird introspection. this is also why the song titles are bittersweet, “random”, simple, or cryptic. they are all telling the story of the mess that was that introspection. i'm sorry if it's still a bit vague. but i hope you enjoyed the experience && got something out of it anyway! most of my songs are non-linear, because they’re telling a story you can read however you want. so feel free to just give them your very own meaning :)

You're human. This album revealed the hate and disdain I have towards myself and life, and maybe, just maybe, somewhere in there, there is hope. Thank you creator❤

(note: this comment was originally posted at like 3:00 AM 4 days ago or something, but I think KZbin decided to not make it visible because there was a link. All other text is in the same state as it was) Nicely done! Interesting sounds, I quite like them. Music sounds a lot longer than it is, which is a good thing in my book. Thanks for posting this. Album art is great, the pixelation and colour scheme reminds me of corru-observer a little bit. (note: yeah, I think mentioning corru is why KZbin shadowbanned the comment, since it showed up as a link) The album itself is also great. Occasionally unnerving and sounding "wrong" in the musical progression, which is fun! I should send this to my former high school history teacher/debate coach, I think he would, if not necessarily be fully enamored with it, be quite interested by it. My sentences are disorganized, and as such, this is potentially a non sequitur of a run-on sentence, given that it is a meta-commentary which adds to the disorganization. The "twinkly" sounds are pretty good, adds to the vibe. Not sure exactly what the vibe is, as it's somewhat late at night (read: early in the morning) and I have played too much of Gregtech New Horizons today. Also, I'm intrigued by the "song sounds like it's a completely different one but haha nope it's actually the same one get fooled nerd" moments, noticed em recently on Plastic Death: The Second Glass Beach Album (yes, I know that's not the official title, but eh, I like adding that subtitle). Anyway, I see that you have created other musics and visuals. I will listen to them. And also go to sleep. Possibly in that order, but hopefully not. Update on that may be forthcoming. But ye, your stuff kind of reminds me of noise music in a good way, with the mixing of instruments/samples and the variance. Have a good day and/or night, cockmonster63. (figured I would put the username in somewhere because like 50% of the other comments are commenting about it). I must ask, since it randomly popped into my head: Did you have the thought of "hm, a Minecraft stack is 64, I want the number in my username to be 1 less than that because uh yeah, I dunno why"? That's what the Small Child me thought when choosing a number for a different username I have elsewhere. Also related, I guess, my username was about the nursery rhyme Little Bunny Foo Foo when I first chose it, but now I have it as more of a joke of "The Foo Fighters want to destroy me because I want to destroy society. They have succeeded with all 4,229 before me but they haven't yet succeeded with me. I learn from every prior Foo's mistakes, and I am the current zenith of Foo-kind, but I may not succeed. All we need is to be patient." And, ye, some sound artists this channel reminds me of a bit (I'm not functioning at my best so this is the half-remembered/analyzed stuff): Halley Labs (somehow? maybe some Renard and hyi vibes? I dunno.), and Psychoangel (from the particular style of some of the music on your channel, such as some of the stuff on COFFEESTAPE_1). In conclusion: I need to get to sleep, thank you for your consideration, please sign my petition, etc. In post-conclusion: I could have definitely organized this better, the "closing statement" ("have a good day and/or night") was kind of in the middle there. At least it was in the last 2/3rds of it or so.

I'm on a bit of an introspective journey myself and this music puts feelings into words that are pretty hard to explain to me. In the past I liked to say I was a "positive nihilist" Basically the general idea is that nothing truly matters but that means I should live life freely. But something I noticed is that I still wasn't avoiding negative thoughts. There was still this strong feeling of "if nothing matters, why does any of this matter". Instead of living freely, I was living in fear of the future, and frozen by my past. Maybe things matter, maybe things don't, I'm trying to learn to care less about the bigger picture. I should still think things over in my head to plan for my best future, but I can't care so much that it ends up eating me whole. I need to live in the present because that's where I'll always be. There's always something we can improve RIGHT NOW and it'll matter because we'll feel it!

Every song sounds different and has a sense of otherworldly fun. I love it man, given the dissociative darkness that inspired it I'm glad you went Earthbound 3 instead of the more muted angsty genres we've been seeing everywhere. Has a kind of Mr Rogers at the end of the world vibe lol Tragic, dissonant nostalgia is a melancholy I can get behind 😋 You should check out Mark Mothersbaugh, the guy behind Rugrats soundtrack, I think you'd love his Muzik for Insomniaks Vol 1 album.
