Hey girl are you aware that your cable management system is fucking weird?

I’ve watched Serial Experiments Lain countless times, but I don’t think I ever really understood the themes until I watched it in 2020. It kind of recontexualizes everything. Throughout the series we see this violent, traumatizing world, with death so commonplace that everyone is starting to become desensitized to it. Nearly everyone is trying to distance themselves from the reality they live in, be it through drug use, denial, distraction, or immersing themselves online. There’s even those who go to the extent of escaping themselves, such as Lain’s classmate who rids herself of her body and Lain who dissociates until she becomes an entirely different person. 

Everyone is possessed by this need to get away from the reality they’re trapped in, but even when they submerge themselves in the internet they can’t escape the world —because the world is other people, and everyone online is also talking about the death that surrounds them.

And if that doesn’t say “present day, present time” I don’t know what does.
