Honestly, idk if 'chronically online' would describe them nearly as well as just 'super toxic and mean', but there are certainly people like this out there.

I think that it can come from many angles, too, which kind of sucks. There are toxic, elitist, gatekeepers that are super into literature in general... and there are toxic gatekeepers who swarm around a given author or franchise (not to name any examples lol). I'm sure that if you really wanna get into it, there's more than just these two levels of toxicity in literature circles, but it's a heck of a thing.

Don't compare yourself to others, comparison is the thief of joy. Enjoy what you enjoy, and don't be so hard on yourself for it.

As far as ideas for music, I think it's important to consider what you're looking for, and why. If you want to know what to look for, you'll find it pretty quickly if you think about the answers you get to those questions. Without details, it's hard to offer much direction without just hoping the ideas apply to what you're looking for.
