I had a dream last night that there was a new popular form of music called Love Honk

Love Honk - Beef Hutchins

Every song was basically just smooth jazz or soft rock instrumentals, but where the lead singer or main instrument should have been playing, there was just a loud, constant car horn.

A look back at Bon Iver's "Beth/Honk"

Beth/Honk - Bon Iver

This one's for the love honk purists.

When Bon Iver (Justin Vernon) released his self-titled album in 2011, it was a critical success, but some listeners were puzzled by what to make of the final track. After an album filled with lush and experimental songs, a prolonged cadence lands on the soothing soft-rock electric piano chords of "Beth/Honk", which are of course soon joined by a loud car horn that continues until after the final chord.

Many listeners saw this as a genre bait-and-switch. "I feel like I'm being pranked," wrote one reviewer. "It's like someone suddenly grabbed my radio dial and turned it to Honk 106.7." An Internet commenter less familiar with the love honk genre wrote: "wtf? does this album seriously end with a car horn that goes on for five minutes???"

Justin Vernon has never allowed himself to be constrained by one genre, but fans who were, perhaps, expecting another "Skinny Love" instead found themselves listening to the more honking sort of love. Beth/Honk provides a decidedly nostalgic sound, the very definition of classic love honk.

The track is better received in retrospect. Looking back, it's a natural end to the progression of the album. While Bon Iver would branch out into more avant-garde electronic music in his next album, this track solidified his love honk credentials and probably played a large part in him being the headliner at Toyotathon 2013. And it is easy to see how this laid the foundation for his later mainstream success with "Honklore", his collaboration with Taylor Swift and a Subaru Outback.

Honk Killer - Spiritbox

With the wild popularity of love honk, a number of metal bands have begun incorporating elements in a rapidly growing subgenre that has been dubbed "honkcore"

THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

I had a dream last night that there was a new popular form of jizz called Lapti Honk

Lapti Honk - The Max Rebo Band feat. Kuat Drive Yards Imperial-Class Star Destroyer

Every song was basically just smooth jizz or soft jatz instrumentals, but where Sy Snootles or Figrin D'an's kloo horn should have been playing, there was just a loud, constant klaxon from a Destroyer-class starship.

Cruisin' the Skyrails (feat. Honksune Choo-Choo) - The Bouncers' Blaramours

I learned this morning that I was a notable vector in the love honk containment breach. On Boxing Day (as celebrated by commonwealth nations), I shared this silly doodle with a friend. The hornliness of that one synth escaped neither of us. Obviously, I had to make sure they'd heard the essential love honk classics, and from there, they had to make sure Instagram had too, and yeah.

What better way to convey the ~utter euphoria~ of knowing I've had some sort of hand in guiding love honk toward the masses than to share a sample of this hallowed happy honkcore anthem from the very early days of the Honkaloid community? For all those tired "realhonk vs. fakehonk" debates the scene may have brought about, I think everyone can concede that The Bouncers' Blaramours brought us some bonafide bangers! This track in particular is largely responsible for Honksune Choo-Choo having won the favor of the community's hearts back then, marking the beginning of her rise to virtual honk stardom... it's hard to imagine where we might be without it!

one last css crime for the road

Live & Learn - Main Theme of "Sonic Adventure 2" - CRUSH 40

press play when you see the first line of text

(doesn't quite line up on mobile, i was pressed for time)




So this is it.

We've processed the news, or at least accepted it.

We've made plans, set up blogs, built websites.

We've saved links, compiled lists, joined discords.

We don't want to go, but it's time.

It seems unfair that a place like this doesn't get to continue on, to keep trying.

For committing the sin of not bowing to a corporate overlord.

For not advertising to you.

For not selling your attention, your eyes, your privacy, your life.

The place so many of us feel got so much right about being a social website is the one to close its doors this time.

It hurts to lose it.

But this is an end, not the end.

Look around at what happened here.

The beautiful, wonderful, ridiculous place we created.

Ryan Reynolds being reduced to carbon.

The Omelas Kid.

Sheev's Plan.

The New Garfield.

Love Honk.

CSS Crimes.

Intern Secretary Eggbug.

None of that came from Cohost.

Well Eggbug did.

And enabling CSS was them, too.

But we committed the crimes.

It was like a website in here.

And we made it that way.

And though it may now be time to take the stealthy approach,

Think for a moment about how we move forward.

And what we take with us.

Those of us who can say we were on Cohost were on here because we wanted to be thoughtful about how we engaged with social media.

And because we appreciated the decisions Cohost made that went toward making this place more human(and hedgehog)-centric, more curated, less noisy, and less prone to toxic incentives.

As we leave Cohost, we can take some of those lessons with us.

We can show others a better way.

Or at the very least, make healthier decisions for ourselves in wherever we end up next.

And just look at how many people went and spun up blogs and websites over the past few weeks.

And helped each other with RSS feeds!

Following each other's blogs, leaving comments, sending emails.

It's slow living, and it may not feel as connected as a central place like this.

But it belongs to you.

And it seems to be what's right for some people.

That's another thing! Not everyone is going in the same direction!

And that's okay too.

We can hang out in multiple places to keep up with the people we like.

Maybe some connections will fray, but that's life, in the end.

We've seen a way beyond the current era of social media.

The metrics and the algorithms.

And what I think we're finding is that,

The web is still there.

It still belongs to us.

Some of it requires a little elbow grease.

But we can still set up a little space of our own.

And we can use it to make connections.

No matter how you do it.

If you're hammering away at HTML in notepad.

Or using a blogging service.

Even if you're moving to another social platform.

You're making the internet a richer, more interesting place with your presence.

It won't be the same.

There won't be another Cohost.

But Cohost was here.

And one day,

Something else might be too.

We can build the future we want to see.

A better world is possible.

Don't lose yourself in mourning what once was.

Hold on to "What if..."

HOLD ON TO "WHAT IF..."


Shoutout to @starwars-characters' posts and this post from @lunasorcery for helping me figure out how to actually do this after beating my head against it for hours and hours.

Thank you all so much for accepting me as your Sonic. This place was really something special. I'm looking forward to following some of your adventures into the blogosphere and beyond.

Love you forever, Cohost. Peace, love, and chili dogs! ✌
