does music make you existential?

in particular, im talking about music unrelated to existential themes. sometimes i find myself listening to some pop music as every good practicing homosexual does, and the song's lyrics will be "please dance it will be fun" (sung by a woman) (more poetic) but what i will feel is like a mixture of melancholy and smallness within the universe. i understand music is supposed to drive emotion but i feel like maybe my emotion wires are crossed because the intended outcome (carefree, jovial, energetic) and the actual outcome (morose, calmness, emptiness) are rather incongruous. so i wanted to know if others had similar experiences, and also maybe why that is. i wanna stop being existential at the club, dammit, i wanna dance til skin falls off my bones and make out with men!

what do we think of the "The Amazing Digital Circus" ending?

(Whole 9 episode run is on youtube for those curious)

I thought it was a solid 5/10 ending. Tied up most of the loose ends but lacked brevity in a way that was highly noticeable. It could've been 30 min realistically. I think the whole show is closer to a 7/10. If you know any teenagers/young adults who would enjoy "baby's first psychological horror" "what if psychological horror but it was for gamers and lesbians" this is a good recommend.

Finding Old Animation: "If The World Were 100 People" by Jackie McCann

This book got turned into an animation when I was a kid, and it really informed my perspective and care for the world beyond myself when I was extremely young. I got a pang of nostalgia for it and searched youtube and found a clip of its first part. However, I distinctly remember that the full animation went into other issues like public health and access to electricity. Can you guys help me find the full animation?

How can I "scratch the itch" of the urge to hunt and kill vampires?

I've been reading Dracula, and it's truly horrifying. The Count is extremely vile and cruel and conniving and I yearn to see his demise (NO SPOILERS PLS). It makes me want to kill a vampire irl, and ensure that those fiends are no more. The problem is that vampires aren't real, so my righteous hatred and contempt has nowhere to go. So how can I find an avenue to fulfill my desire?
