ive had a few stabs at that. the riff raff thread. the method acting supplants irony thread. the pastiche thread. the beyond soul thread. needs more work though. thats a big project we can take on shiels. we'll nail it down if you like.
You don't agree that a dichotomy of authentic/inauthentic has been distorted and abused with seemingly increasing intensity over the last couple of decades? this idea that there's something behind the curtain, some pure essence, of self or of some substance, in everything from bread to trump? It's been abused and distorted so much that It can feel like we're moving beyond being able to use those words to have meaningful conversations
This is what I was getting at when I said that posting on Twitter is an inherently aesthetic performance.
You have to look at the popular modes of appeal. 'Read the room', 'Boomer', 'Racism is little dick energy'
It's not about being wrong, so much as it is about being lame. Internet culture has already accepted the fact that that ethos is all there is, that it is all a performance, even if they aren't cognizant of it. Nuance is gone. Logos can't be trusted. Nobody knows who is authentic or earnest, the notions become meaningless.
The aesthetic rules of the room are constantly being worked out cybernetically.
and not necessarily a bad thing.
Shit, something just occurred to me. They're mad for psytrance in Israel, right? Infected Mushroom and all that malarkey?though the Zion psytrance rave doesn't help
