Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots
Updated: November 5, 2024 by Nick
The white background of my site is a part of my theme, Modern Void. We're too enamored on the flat-assed designs, with sterility and conforming in mind, it doesn't take long before we no longer have the creative mindset we have before. Thankfully, there are initiatives trying to revive this kind of genre back, because we mentally need it.
We don't need a banner and an avatar to prove we exist, just so we can appease their coded algorithm by not posting anything that "violates the rules" whatever that is. I'm sad to say, their guidelines are terribly guided to the point where innocent content that falls under it gets taken down anyway.
This is one of the reasons why this website exists, I can't put a music player on sites like Facebook, or custom code, or a splash text saying I'm a Pussy Destroyer, it's impossible, I can't even swear in Russian if I have to!
So, I'm sorry if I offended you with a light mode of my site, but I guess you've just gotten used to the old theme which is darker, and sadly more slower than what you're currently reading. You get used to it now, and occasionally, there might also be a reskinning for certain events, you don't see that every day.
Those are my reasons why it's bright, and to conclude this, the Modern Void is an expression of art, hoping for another Renaissance to happen if need be. As of right now, with scheming happening all over the world, especially on social media, we are now on The Great Decadence, and it's hitting the creative world harder with AI replacing their work.
Animators out of jobs because executives said so, and new forms of content creation that won't benefit anybody is so happens to be surfacing (AI voice, faceless, baseless, fake, content farms).
I don't want to live in a future where as a grandfather to my kids, it's only a story from there, but I hope that in a new society where technology is beneficial, it should be a reality.
