The Barrow

That's what 'Zeitgeist' means, by the way.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how various places and times felt. Today this was prompted by discovering the album Lair of the Dragon by Wolf and Raven. It took me into an oldschool weeb place I really enjoy that got me thinking about how awesome it was to be a nerdy weeb in 2004. Maybe that's just nostalgia, but it seemed to be the peak of that subculture, before oversaturation and collapse.

This is but one timeghost I frequently miss. I miss being an optimistic schoolchild in the 90s, a bearded hipster in the 2010s. Who knows what I've been in the 2020s. This timeghost has been hostile and difficult.

Maybe I'll miss it too?
