Emily Haines From The Band Metric Explains Why We Canโ€™t Stop Doomscrolling

Updated Sep 30, 2022, 08:13am EDT

โ€œFor me, when I use the term doomscrolling, I am talking about endlessly scrolling into the depths of the major issues of our time โ€” climate, war, social division, entrenched economic inequality, and the ongoing permutations and consequences of the pandemic,โ€ she says. โ€œIt's actually the opposite of distraction. It's full immersion in the big topics over which most of us feel quite powerless.โ€

โ€œThe lyrics for our song Doomscroller address this feeling of trying to stay informed and educate ourselves in a never ending news cycle to the point that we can't stop,โ€ she added. The lyrics offer a hint about how this works, and itโ€™s a challenging indictment:"I can't seem to shut it down, until the worst is over, and it's never over."

โ€œTry to remember that all the data you are being inundated with is there to serve you, not the other way around,โ€ she explained. โ€œMy hope is that our music is actually a point of focus, something of substance to anchor the listener, a meticulously crafted escape and a sonic oasis offering clarity and a sense of freedom from all the meaningless, time-consuming distractions that constantly surround us in the shallow attention economy of modern life.โ€

So far 15 people gave their lives and are PETA heros.

California has been diverting water to protect endangered fish species, particularly the delta smelt, which has faced significant population declines. This policy has been controversial, with some arguing that it hinders water supply for agriculture and urban use.

In recent developments, state and federal officials have decided to curtail additional water flows intended to support endangered fish in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, a move that has sparked debate. Environmental groups argue that suspending these measures poses an added threat to the already imperiled fish species.
