Alexis (Gros Enfant Mort) - “It’s Not You That’s Broken. It’s the World.”
from Into the Cave · host Julia Menou
Depression doesn’t always come from something broken inside of us. Sometimes, it comes from seeing the world too clearly.I’m joined by Alexis, the mind behind screamo project Gros Enfant Mort, to talk about depression as a collective experience, and why it feels almost logical to struggle mentally in the times we’re living in.We talk about writing an album from phone notes taken in the darkest moments, about alienation, capitalism, punk, countercultures, and the strange pressure to “fit”, even in spaces that claim to be free.About screaming inside while walking through crowded streets.About bleeding together, and finding meaning not in self-help, but in collective revolt.Follow Gros Enfant Mort: @grosenfantmortFollow Into the Cave: @intothecavepod
