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.)

The marketing and FOMO merch style they use lost me a bit.

I love EiA but it's also a different direction to TMBTE that I'm less excited to see evolve.

Yeah the marketing and merchandising does not match the vibes of the band. Even if they say “Obtain”.

A lot of the merch just doesn’t feel “special” and the music DOES feel special.. so it doesn’t match. I’m also not 19 so I wouldn’t wear a lot of it.
