It has a style all its own - your tracks. It's a very much sound like, "I'm going to do what I want and I really don't give a shit if you don't like it."
I'm in the process of researching and writing a series of articles that you may be interested in - it's based on a Voat conversation and a long-standing bit of a bee in my bonnet. (Assuming, of course, that I wore bonnets...) Then again, it's technically also based on an almost-long-standing conversation I've had on Voat and other sites.
You may have seen me rant about it before - it's best to not get me started. The short version is Jimi Hendrix was awarded Guitarist of the Century. This infuriates me and has bothered me for nearly 20 years. I've had that discussion many times. Based on a Voat conversation, one had a half dozen times with @cynicaloldfart, I'm correcting this. I'm actually moving right along on it. I'm writing an article (technically, maybe a series of articles) that correct this stupidity.
Seriously, don't get me started on my rant. It goes on for hours, once I'm started. Jimi was a fine artist and not even the worst guitarist to reach stardom. He's just in no way qualified for the accolades that establish him as being worthy of such a title as "Guitarist of the Century." His inclusion even on a list for consideration shows that the magazine (Rolling Stone) is pretty much entirely inept and full of drunkards with absolutely no skill of their own. (And that includes critical thinking skills, not just guitar skills.)

I think Phillip S Hoffman summed it up pretty well in "Almost Famous"

For me, expando mp4's always come up muted. I have to r-click, show controls, and unmute it there.
Huh... I don't watch much in the way of typical movies, but that one piques my interest.
I've finished the rough drafts for six of them, by the way. I know there's still quite a few more to go. I don't actually know where the list ends and it may get edits and reshuffled. My approach has been almost scholarly, but it's not written as if it's an academic paper. I went for my usual writing style for conversations on various forums, which may also change.
But, it's coming along nicely! One ended up on the list in a spot that even surprised me both in their inclusion and their position. Unfortunately, I can't write the list backwards - as I'm formalizing it as I go. I know who the next 9 are going to be, but I'm not completely certain of their positions. I'm also forgetting a few, I'm sure.
I'm almost convinced this will lead to more writing on the subject. I may have to change that blog's name. LOL

You're not wrong at all.
