> I'm probably a bit more ambivalent but certainly gets my respect for its impact.
I get that ambivalence. For those that love prog rock, the punk scene basically set up its death with the new wave as the cherry on top of the cake for its definitive  loss of relevancy. Everything went onto the simplistic route.

> The main threat for it is it getting too strongly tied to a era or single type of person , which with the as of right now death of us classifying decades so sharply and media being so fragmented that it's hard for single treads to have as much impact has lowered that for right now. 
but that has happened to everything, not only this scenes or several subcultures. Internet has combined and reunited everything in just two clicks. It´s practically almost impossible not to get  influenced by other unrelated things that add another layer to that tread. If you follow a tread these days, it´s because you accept that circle just the way it is. Following that generic tread 100% is entirely up to one self fault and not from anybody else. Call them purists or whatever but you have already said it. 

> I didn't promise, merely affirm that I would try to do the same 
yeah, with that detail in mind, one cannot feel bad and it´s certainly better this way. If I promised that we were to reach almost 4k posts over here, I would have probably got tired and see that objective with laziness and apathy. However, I haven´t felt forced about doing anything, so that way to move forward comes from my will instead. 


> Social media in its worst form has not only lowered the quality of discourse, but maybe in the newer generations, the ability to even think beyond the tweets and likes. 
reading this has made me somewhat uncomfortable. Pretty scary to think that. I mean, it´s better than the analphabet era from the past, but that´ direction doesn´t lead us to a much better place. 

> So maybe an edgy fic, in all its angst, is at least an expression of something more whining and victimhood. 
Agreed. I would almost define it as the personal diary of the 21st century just that it´s publicly available for those who are interested. At least, you show up emotions and that you aren´t made of stone or high tech.

> Really? Cool, I may look into it at somepoint for that reason just to understand it if I have the time.
if you get to browse this, you will say that I have lied about the Berlin trilogy term. Well, the music press defines that the Berlin Trilogy are the 3 Bowie albums(Low, Heroes and Lodger). The press has brought that term to those albums but I don´t see them as such. David had material of Low prepared before arriving at Berlin and Lodger wasn´t produced in Berlin. 
The only Bowie album that was made in its entirety in Berlin was Heroes. He also produced the first Iggy Pop album on Berlin and Brian Eno was creating his ambient record and recorded those ideas in Low and Heroes. So despite having that term applied as soon as you get info about it, the thing is that a few people consider that the three albums released in 1977 from Iggy, Bowie and Eno were the actual Berlin albums. 

I haven´t told a lie but more like an interpretation of what could classified as Berlin material. 

> Though for all I know I may have at least heard of some of it before.My random blind spots in knowledge show why I could't be a good /mu/ poster. 
don´t think that /mu/ goes that far. Sure there are a couple of generals that discuss music and there are people who rec and talk about music news/reviews pretty decently. The problem is that they meme and post album covers at random sometimes and these contextual explanations already appear in other sourced. I only say this because while I listen to music, I also look at the context behind those creations. Sometimes (professional) context helps in order to understand what you are listening to at that moment.
