Kaz Cooke @kazcooke.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What a misunderstanding of what people want from art. Like those tiktokkitygram AI romance 'stories' based on fairytales but with all the fun & weirdness sucked out, plus dire dialogue. People want to feel things & have a connection, they don't yearn to shrug 'oh that can be classified as music'. 2313
Kaz Cooke @kazcooke.bsky.social · 30/09/2026There's just way too much to be very cross about, today.
