Rare americans feels like watching stories unfold instead of listening to songs. It’s less about heaviness and more about observation. About people being strange and flawed and sad in quiet ways. It’s the kind of music that notices things everyone else walks past. I don’t listen to them for volume. I listen to them when i want to feel seen without being stared at.
Liking different bands for different reasons doesn’t make someone fake or confused.
It just means music does more than one job.
Sometimes it’s noise. Sometimes it’s shelter. Sometimes it’s a mirror you don’t look at for too long.
