"Hikikomori (ひきこもり or 引き籠もり Hikikomori, literally "pulling inward, being confined", i.e., "acute social withdrawal") is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement. The term hikikomori refers to both the sociological phenomenon in general and the people belonging to this societal group. Hikikomori have been described as recluses, loners, or "modern-day hermits."
I think I leave the house too much to qualify(although google images turn up some eerily similar looking rooms)...Ha. The samples are from some weird clip before a documentary on YouTube that had been taken off an old VHS TV recording. It was a preacher going off on heroine/meth/crack from the point of view of the drugs or the addiction itself. Unfortunately his rhyme was then cut short by the start of the actual documentary(or there would have been more). We'll try for less dark subject matter in the next one, but there is a big backlog of sad documentary’s on the sampling block. Have a bite of the weird side of YouTube today, and enjoy your coming weeks. Musically "withdraw" with us. Thanks for watching and listening!
