i have been thinking about tumblr and rap
it is evident that the general tumblr populous has written off most historically black art forms near entirely. this applies to music, film, art history, etc. rather, the art engaged with and popularized in tumblr spheres is that of "good representation" which usually takes the form of idk, a black side character on your tv show whose personality is a huge nothingburger, but is appealing because they are not "problematic."
i think alot of this comes down to people's inability to make judgement calls for themself about what is ethical and what is right. this can be seen in conversations about kink when people say "anything as long as it's legal," sorry but, that is an incredibly bad faith and spineless read. the law should not decide your morals, you should, because anything can be criminalized, and your distinction of a perverse harmful action versus an acceptable one hinges upon your ability to make a decision about what you think is right.
when white allegedly woke users don't engage with black art, what i see is this: a person who does not know how to engage with art in a critical way that is decided by what they think–because this art causes them to confront what they think. often, when white and engaging with black art, you will be confronted by your own racist presumptions, your own back-of-mind urges, and that is the most important part. everyone is racist, because we undeniably live under white supremacy and are thus subject to racist propaganda near constantly (insert sydney sweeney jeans ad).
i really do think some white tumblr users are afraid of engaging with content made outside of their culture because they could be "appropriating" or having "incorrect thoughts" about race. this thought police bullshit will only coddle your racism. you need to undo it yourself by engaging with black people and black art. nobody else will for you, you will not one day be cured, you are the only one who can dismantle your own racism. you cannot avoid your racism by pretending race does not exist (i.e. by [consciously or unconsciously] not engaging with the works of black people). that is the titular thing, really: do you really want to stay racist? you could be listening to tha carter ii, like
You are a racist person
I should've put this in the initial post, but I need to say now that Even if rap WAS all about getting money and bitches and having a fat ass, it still wouldn't be inherently bad or lesser art. Conscious hiphop is not the only rap music with merit in fact, many of y'all in the notes saying 'just find rap you like, which will be conscious hiphop because it's actually deep' are giving these racist bad faith arguments merit by saying "not allll rap is like that!!! there's also good rap!" it's just so weird, gangsta rap and club music ARE indicative of a lot of the genre, and a lot of the rap that's talked down about on here for its supposed misogyny and capital fetishism is actually fucking phenomenal. black music is not exclusively good when it's got a deep message and is totally metatextual / self referential. No offense but, sometimes music is for fun. Lol. And you simply don't understand

I'm so curious to know what you thought the nin albums smelled like!! that's so cool that they were similar to mine :)
also I dont know the mosssst about actual real life fragrances but I have a sample of a fig based fragrance that I love that I used as partial inspo for the fragile so I feel like it could def be used in combination with something else. Its Philosykos Eau de Parfum by Diptyque :)
Oh my god this is the first time someone's ever asked me something on here!!! Its probably gonna be a pretty long post because I actually kind of catalogue my favorite albums by smell/vibes (color,texture, all the miscellaneous things 😋).
Pretty hate machine has a very strong metallic/motor oil base note with a very strong orchid/almost fruity smelling top note. It also has some animal musk in there somewhere. There's a lot of elements of machinery with most of the lyrics dealing with sexual struggles and struggles in power dynamics, so my brain sort of concentrated on that the most 😅.
Broken smells more animal with musk, ambergris (If you've smelled it you recognize it), and its spicy and florally pungent at the top. Lipstick makes it in there when I concentrate. Tobacco also makes it in there, but it's wet??? Idk my brain is weird 🤕.
Downward spiral is so decadent, but it's so...filthy and nasty. You can feel it prickle your skin, static and ozonic. The smell of latex and cigarettes and sweat/animal notes. Amber, burnt sugar, burnt plastic/metal?? With like a warm spice (cause of the warm place) that fades slowly. It would be off-putting, but I wouldn't mind putting it on at night to ward off strangers 😄
The fragile is somehow the most polished in this shitshow?? It has oud/powdery notes (la mer and ripe with decay). It also has a static/ ozone scent, but it's more subtle than with downward spiral. It has a mineral scent that is subdued by the kind of spicy sweet fruit notes on top. I picture it smelling like this unisex cologne I stole from my mom 😂 (Its my fav scent ever, and im still searching for it)
I have to pause for With Teeth to explain what I feel when I listen to this album. It feels amazing to my ears, like actually scrumptious. It feels like when you're running a fever but your room is like 68 degrees. So you flip off all the blankets and experience total bliss before you go to sleep again. Like a balm on a wound. For that reason, I can't imagine it not smelling like menthol, but not in an unpleasant way. It's fuzzy like radio feedback, so ozone/metallic notes obvi 🙄. It has some musk, but not overpowering, and also woody/sprucy notes. This album literally feels like walking through the forest with fog in the morning. And for that, I also add amber so it cuts through the metallic/ ozone. Also, just a bit of rain smell(?? I dont know how to say that) Yes, I would wear this every day until I used the entire bottle. And I would swap it out with the fragile depending on my mood 🫡.
We're skipping right to The Slip, and for me, this scent is very masculine. It's a cologne, and it has an aromatic and fresh base note. It's smoky, with leather,tobacco, and spicy top notes. This album is so yum yum idc what anyone says 🙂↕️. I would wear it if I was feeling more masculine a certain day, or I would give it as a gift ☺️.
Unfortunately, this is my rotation with NIN, so I need to listen to their newer albums. I also need to listen to the whole of the TRON album and form my scent opinion on it. I'll post my opinion once I'm done 😇. I could talk for hours about the sensory experiences I have with music, and this was such a fun exercise in that. Thank you so much for the perfume recommendations, and if you want to talk more, we certainly can!! I did all this on the fly, but I'm sure I can find some scents that match the vibe of NIN.
NIN albums as imaginary fragrances
I spent so long on this... a little repetitive and a little biased towards my taste but I'm really happy with these!! Yes I did top, middle, and bottom notes because I'm insane.
inspired by weird.and.wired on tiktok but I'm sure others have also done this !!
pretty hate machine ! stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies baby
broken ! angry, slutty, messy, heady, volatile. sharp blade stab turns to sensual plunge. pins and needles, hot skin.
the downward spiral ! weird and foreboding, natural yet synthetic, strange yet romantic.
the fragile ! steeped in nature, somewhat shrouded in isolation, still deeply human - almost to a fault. intriguing, catches the eye from a distance but something's off here
things falling apart ! the fragile's weird sister, room has clothes and ephemera everywhere, collects computer parts
with teeth ! a little cold, a little weird, a little (a lot) possessive, but kind of refined. spit and synthesizers.
year zero ! abnormal. sickly in its sweetness. warning signs everywhere, beware, back off,,, but you kind of want to keep prodding
the slip ! a little intoxicating, aggressive core but not in a controlling way....
hesitation marks ! intriguing sharpness that fizzles into familiar warmth. shes got some classics at the base - an awareness and respect for what works - but shes distinctly her own and unapologetically strange.

I need with teeth and the fragile as perfumes/colognes RIGHT NOWWW
