@Precipitation24 thing is America just ain’t as good as it was in 1950-2000, everything is super expensive (especially if you live on the west coast or some big city), people are becoming less friendly, many of the US’ biggest cities have devolved into places of catastrophe, specifically drug abuse. In basic terms, America ain’t doing too well right now, to me the American dream is just being able to live comfortably, an apartment, a decent job, and enough time to do your passions… it’s low, but it’s something.
I’ve heard it ain’t doing so well in Japan either, I think it’s more expensive over there then it is here, isn’t it? If so, sorry to hear about that.

That topic is actually something I once wrote and then deleted in the comments section of the "American Dreams" entry. The reason I deleted it was because writing it made me feel kind of depressed, but when I see the kind of atmosphere you described reflected in various American works, it really does make me realize those are serious, real-world issues.
And just as you said, Japan is also struggling with very similar problems.
That said, I'm enjoying this moment of conversation with you right now. Thank you!
@Precipitation24 thanks! You too! Can’t wait to see more of your art! You do have a really comforting style, I will admit. I guess imma introduce myself lol, I’m CF24, aspiring musician :)
Thank you!
It seems like we have similar names. I’m so happy to meet you!
Let us strive to entertain the world!
@Precipitation24 to the 24s!

Thank you!
Really? The 'American Dream' is one of the few examples Kevin has labeled as 'American'...
It seems like opinions on this topic really vary from person to person
