      4/ Andy Rooney tells a story. "Only in America!" The story could have taken place anywhere.

      5/ My thesis is that everyone has crippling doubt about their choices. "Am I an idiot for living in the city? The rent is so high, I'm a nobody lost in a crowd of millions and I'll never be discovered / make it". <Tribal anthem plays> Ah, I'm PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER!

      6/ "Am I left behind by the modern economy? Am I a nobody in the middle of nowhere?" <tribal anthem plays> Ah, the dirt is red, the women wear jeans, there's football on Friday night, I'm part of something bigger!

      Luckily, people such as you and I know that there is nothing exceptional about us at all.

      joke noted and chuckled at but srs tho, the fact that there is no custom designed "you're part of the tribe" anthem JUST FOR US is evidence that we're not even big enough to make faux culture feasible.

      you know the last psychiatrist, and his/her "if you're watching it, it's for you" ? this is the inverse - if you're not watching it, then "you" is singular, not plural

      There are plenty of anthems (and posts and cartoons and videos) out there to celebrate the awesomeness of our tribe, and every time I run across one I take a couple of steps backwards away from the tribe.

      but srs tho (and, yes, I predicted that response), sure, the "DragonCon" people have a tribe with anthems etc. The Marvel fans do. SF conventions. And so forth and so on. But, as you say, those are all cringy and bad and not for us. Therefore it's not our tribe.

      to say otherwise is like me saying to my elf wife "what do you mean there are no good women to befriend around here? The Avon lady is having a house party to teach people how to apply eyeliner!"
