I’ll never feel the usage of “salty” = “upset” To me it feels like it should mean something like edgy wit, as in the older usage of “salty sense of humor” Urban dictionary suggests a curmudgeonly old-guy kind of upset but Zoomers seem to use it to mean upset-upset

I’ve lost some of my ear for language in the last few years in part because I actually dislike the general drift of language to a kind of messiness that trades conceptual precision for emotional precision or something

Sometimes when I’m writing now, I can tell it’s coming out tone deaf, but unlike in the past I don’t care to correct it so it is in tune with zeitgeist currents because fashionable tones seem to require more of an inward turn

Like in writing a vibey movie review you need to communicate more about your feelings about the movie than about the movie, which is a priority order that kinda bores me. Not that I don’t have feelings, but they’re just not very interesting compared to the movie itself usually
