I love me a good long descriptions and some prog rock here and there but sometimes you wake up and just need a bowl of Froot Loops! And that Paramore song is everything 🪩
Lots of people love a long description. I'm happy about that because it creates jobs for people who write long descriptions. I don't know if I can get on board with equating pop music to Froot Loops though. I get so much soul nourishment from it.
Technically Froot Loops is fortified with 11 essential vitamins and minerals including 25% of your daily iron intake and 20% of B12 (a vitamin that’s tough to get naturally if you’re a vegan). Just because it’s sugary cereal doesn’t mean it’s not nourishing.
Obviously my last comment was tongue in cheek. My point is that sometimes we crave something small and accessible (small = short by comparison to a 20 min prog extravagance or even a three hour symphony // accessible = a recorded piece on YT/Spotify by comparison to a concert you might have to pay $100 to see that may or may not be pretentious.) There are different varieties, times, places of nourishing. Pop music can be Froot Loops AND/OR a handful of baby carrots. The Loops just seemed like pop culture shorthand for NOT a 3 course meals featuring butternut squash risotto with a balsamic reduction and microgreens handpicked from the backyard of today’s most celebrated poet. (Btw pop music can certainly be that too.)
Don't you hate it when you share an innocent little Froot Loops metaphor and then the 'Author' is all, Don't be putting your Froot Loops on my comment thread! And then you have to do a whole bunch of explaining because the 'Author' is too thick to notice tongues in cheeks?
And don't you hate it when you didn't MEAN that the Author's work is the equivalent of Froot Loops? (Because it's not!) And don't you ALSO hate it when there's this extra layer of irony here that this is a post to show that Short = Preferable, but come to find that it might not always be at the expense of being trite or vague? Haha!!
Just like when they say, don’t look at this spot and then you look at that spot, I can’t stop thinking about a chicken moving sideways. Thanks a lot. Lol.
I love how you won’t tell us😉

Don't make me go off on ultraprocessed foods and how they are killing you to death!

(I write this as a man who ate a McPlant meal with Coke on Saturday, but I'll still go off.)
Fruit (Froot) Loops? For real?!

And I'm sure your brain is imagining it better than I could ever tell it.
