I'll say this on music. I lean towards rock. That doesn't mean I'm locked into it, it just means if I'm looking for something, I'm probably reaching for the Doom Metal, Prog, Psychedelic or Grunge shelf, or adjacent like your Fiona Apples and Counting Crows, Blind Melon, Pavement, Melvins, Tool, Ween, or Gorillaz. I do like me some techno on occasion, but I really more prefer sample-based stuff like RJD2, or The Avalanches. I do really enjoy ambient and kinda get meditative to it. My favorite of that is Hammock.
I was born in 1988, does it show? lol.
I'm not afraid to like something for what it is or because it's goofy, either. There are some Limp Bizkit tracks that absolutely slap and I've died on some horrible hills for what you'd likely consider otherwise bad music. Cringe is out the window. I don't care, lol. I have sang Carly Rae at full volume while downshifting into third and stomping it. We've gone there.

My favorite artist, right now?
King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard
what genre are they? *

"The term swag similarly has its origin in thieves’ slang. It originally referred to a thief’s booty or plunder, but by the middle of the nineteenth century it was used to describe the collection of personal belongings wrapped up in a bedroll, as carried by a bush traveller. This is the beginning of the swagman tradition.
"Most of the recorded terminology has to do with the organisation and administration of the convict system, and disappeared with the demise of that system. Many of these, however, are included in the Australian Oxford Dictionary because of their importance to Australian history."
—from the article
Further to the Convict Era terminology:
"Between 1788 and 1852 some 150,000 convicts were transported from Britain to eastern Australia, with New South Wales and Tasmania established as penal colonies. About 25,000 of these were women. With the impending cessation of transportation to the eastern colonies, the British government commenced transportation to Western Australia in 1850, and this continued until 1868. About 10,000 convicts were sent to Western Australia."

When the government violates your digital rights, EFF takes them to court. Now, you can wear that energy with our newest tee: https://shop.eff.org/products/lets-sue-the-government-t-shirt
A teenage girl was arrested in Australia
- a hitherto free country (?) -
for wearing a tee-shirt saying simply 'from the river to the sea'.
I think the response is 'WTF' ?
And yet - sue the government ? I wish.
Plasticine Action ?
There will be consequences.
