Will Too Much Skateboard Media Poison Your Brain? | Quality > quantity is a thing of the past
These days skateboarding is available 24/7 in the palm of your hand. There is no need to even skate anymore as your fav pro is uploading “skate content” continuously and when the runs out you can move onto skaters your not fond of just to “hate.”
Is this overdose of skateboarding media poisoning your mind? And how shit is the word “content” and the very fact that it exists and feeds us all daily. The world is a mess.
Anyway…. this article from Jenkem is what Big Brother would be publishing if it were still the ol’ days. Good stuff.
Sample:
The complaint that too much skate content is posted every day is one I’ve parroted but never completely understood. There are endless YouTube parts, Insta clips and photos, web interviews, and so on and so forth. Is there really a problem with how much skate content is out there? What effect has this constant deluge of media had on skaters’ psyches? Could attempting to consume it all be potentially dangerous to the human brain?
Because this is an official Jenky Labs™ experiment, I needed a clear set of guidelines to ensure my scientific objectivity. I decided that I needed to immerse myself in footage that was uncomfortable for me to watch. Watching tons of clips from skaters I like would be too close to my average daily routine, and I might get too lost in it to remain critical.
1) There’s three (read: too many) of them.
2) They’re prolific, but I always avoid them.
3) I’m a sadist.
