White Noise Communing is where I dump my rambling related to music. Started off a tongue-in-cheek lyric interpretation, but turned into a more general format.
- White Noise Communing – All I Want For Christmas Is You, Mariah Carey
A merry Christmas jingle or an alarming tale of obsession and manipulation? - White Noise Communing – Negative Creep, Nirvana
This time we’re examining Nirvana’s Negative Creep. On the surface, Negative Creep appears to be a lamentably repetitive song about being a stoned outcast, but beneath the thin veneer it is really a complex riff on the neo-Freudian underpinnings of sociological intrafamilial hierarchies, and the way in which sex can be weaponised to reinforce or undermine the status quo of society and class boundaries. - Words and Verse – Blackened, Metallica
Metallica’s classic 1988 opener for ‘… And justice For All’ is an instant recognition point for metalheads. The song explores the trials and tribulations of learning and, ultimately, failing to cook. It further delves into the symbolic representation of social pressures and abstracted confinement manifested in disappointing dinner guests, finally expanding on the primordial psychosexual symbolism of meal preparation. - White Noise Communing – Bored of Math, The Ghost of a Thousand
The world went from a “generation bored out of their minds,” to generations for whom boredom is impossible. In the modern world, there is never a point at which there is not a fresh avalanche of content and distractions to sweep away any potential absence of stimulation. If not the leisure and digital distraction that characterises the splintered bubble-gum gloom of Gen Z, then there is always the equally torrential flood of work, hustle and grind that contribute to the blasted mindscapes and thousand-yard stares of anxiety-addled millennials.Â
