#the 1975 loving someone
thinking about how i am forever in alongside the boys in jumpers on bikes from schools and cars, with autumn leaves fallen sparse across the mid afternoon. she blazed about how cultural language is an operating system, a simple interface rendered feeble and listless when tested with divinity or a true understanding of the human condition. i never did understand the duality of art and reality, living life and treating it as such but with a certain disconnect to touch that cajoles at the artist with comfort and abandon, and between the spires and rolling roofs of the white city, that orange english light cast only one, singular shadow, for you are not beside but within me

It's always "Matty Healy kisses bandmate" "Matty Healy shares kiss with male bandmate" "The 1975 banned from performing in Malaysia after Matty Healy’s ‘controversial’ kiss with male bandmate"
and never "Ross Macdonald pulls bandmate in by the waist, changes the angle and adds tongue in defiance of the law"

Actually I think I deserve to be feral about Tommy 1975
it's a rock opera and it's got elton john and tina Turner in it, yeah, it's got the pinball wizard song, right, goofy times with the who
Tommy Walker is explicitly disabled in a way that reads nowadays as autistic and traumatized, and canonically experiences neglect, physical abuse, and childhood sexual abuse because of the ways in which he is disabled. he is sexually abused by his uncle and, arguably, his cousin, stepdad, and mom. (I think the beans/soap/mirror bedroom "Tommy Can You Hear Me" sequence is. unfortunately. an extremely thinly veiled metaphor.)
his disabilities combined with his talent for pinball turn him into an exploited child/young adult celebrity that his family uses to build their own personal wealth and he gets turned into inspiration porn for the pseudochristian cult they start, which expands further when he "miraculously" regains his sight, hearing, and speech as a 30 year old christ allegory. it's wretched because he does genuinely feel like he can help people by sharing his lived experiences with them, but it's too late - his parents have already turned his example and teachings into a pricey commodity and people who have paid every penny they owned for enlightenment end up violently rebelling against the lies they were (literally) sold, despite Tommy's best intentions.
and what does he get after a lifetime of suffering that culminated in his genuine attempts to help people? he sees his family murdered, everyone who ever supported him marching away into the distance, and he swims off into the sea and to apparent enlightenment, alone.
just. it's such a movie. I must've watched it a couple dozen times in my teen years. it's absolutely the product of its time but it's got a LOT to say about the exploitative nature of organized religion, cults, faith healing, "Disability Parents" (you know what I mean,) show parents/parent managers, cycles of abuse/exploitation, cycles of trauma, military worship, incest, heteronormativity/corrective rape, celebrity worship culture, etc... and like! it's not for everyone, but I still think everyone should have to watch it at least once.
anyway Tommy 1975 everybody. if you pick only one 50 year old Problematic Media to consume this year please pick this one. I need more people to talk to about Jack Nicholson's cameo and the Themes and the Bean Scene and the Ska Enjoying Cultists.

The live version of “When We Are Together” will always be my favorite thing, especially the last chorus. After introducing the band, everything goes quiet, the lights slowly go out as everyone leaves and we’re left with just Matty and his guitar, alone in his house; and now that chorus that felt happy and warm previously feels so alone and melancholy. And sure it’s a love song but it’s not just romantic love, or I’d even say it’s mostly not about romantic love. It’s about touring, it’s about the fans, but most importantly it’s about his boys. Idk its just so gut wrenching and vulnerable, and something i think anyone who’s felt that kind of loneliness can really relate to. 🥺🫶

truly cannot explain the connection i have to the 1975's music. yes some of it is nostalgia but i genuinely do not have any other artist that has interested and confused and irritated and saddened and endeared me so much all at the same time and i do mean that about the music itself rather than about the band members. i've spent so much of my life listening to them and they cover so much ground while also having so much terrible samey shit that i wind up loving anyway. i'm so done with matty healy but i will not be able to let go of this music without giving it a proper sendoff, y'know.
#thunder rambles#n its not even the thing people have with like mcr or tøp where the music gave me something to hold onto through a rough time#ive just loved it in so many different ways and for reasons that have changed over the years like.#i know i sound like i drank the kool aid. im working on it#edit: i have some more soppy sincere things to say about why i love their music so much#it's for the same reason i don't think i'll ever love someone exactly the way i loved the friend i had in year 8#to love someone just because they're there at a point of naievete in your life#i got into the 1975 because my toxic best friend whom i had a crush on said i had to like them#and also because their first two albums are sooooo geared towards 14 y/os in terms of sound#but then abiior came out. and i didnt like the singles. and then i came back to it and i fell in love with it.#it's just so weird to simultaneously love something for nostalgic reasons and from just appreciating good art#like its all shitty nostalgia bait. but it's also genius in its conception. but also not all the concepts work in execution. but also the#raw unpolished shittiness of those things are compelling in their own way.#basically basically. i cant get over the way their music grew up with me. and also im a sucker for any art that has something to say#about the digital age#i sort of love their music like i love my siblings lol. like i have always loved my siblings even when my relationship to them is miserable.#i grew up and around you i cant exactly extract you from who i am
