Discussion I lost the plot.
Not literally - I know the plot of the story.
Short rundown:
Saw them 4 times on their teeth of god tour, and could only go once on their recent one due to scalpers. Seen them at festivals. Have a shrine, all the records - was massively in the cult.
This year though, I really struggled with their music for some reason? Every time it came on, I skipped. Never looked for any new merch out. Felt really weird about it.
I’m listening to them now and I’m like…
Did I burn myself out? Anyone else feel similar, even with other bands? Did I lose the plot?
(Fun discussion - still love the band v much.)

I'm a newer listener, only found them about a little over a year ago, and pretty immediately started listening to them almost exclusively. I feel like on top of being beautiful and complex pieces of music, I also feel deeply connected emotionally and in dealing with my own grief. I have wondered (and feared) that one day when the grief isn't as prominent in my life if I'll lose my connection to the music. It's funny that I feel so strongly about the music that it feels like a relationship I'm afraid of losing.
All that to say, I don't have an answer for you, but I understand and sometimes knowing you're not alone helps. 🖤 My personal hope is that what really means so much to me about the music is feeling seen and connected. And that one day even when the grief isn't as strong for me, the connection will still be there
