kokoon Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I don't know how to deal with these things either. It makes me sad, feeling old. When we were kids, we used to have opinions. And we had conversations. With words, either spoken or written. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peace 7 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If I read old message boards from, say, 2002, folks write with more cynicism and intelligence, whereas now. The hypester has taken over. "Radiohead's new cd single sounds like Thom should go back to bricklaying and leave music to musicians, this is just a man farting on a record" Has been replaced with: "Radiohead is fire. : smh : dat beat tho." And everything is the next calling according to hypesters, used to be: "This is a pretty original song from The Chems" Is now: "This shit is literally next level." "wen u watchin netflix and u jam come on itunes" I hate them. http://i.imgur.com/TPljjhK.gifv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiredOldPotato Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 "Radiohead is fire. : smh : dat beat tho."Is that "smh" a disapproving one or a "fuck yeah I'm gonna mosh my head to this shit" one? (Also what's wrong with more people saying that they think something's the best thing ever? It's not like criticism or cynicism for things has flown out of the window, also it's nice to have a bit more positivity for once!) edit: ^also what Nexx said Smh is in quotes, please don't assume I'd ever use that term except within the context of recurse.

DerWaschbar Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 seems like mostly you are having difficulty adapting to modern language that has evolved in the digital world. there is certainly plenty of intelligent criticism these days but it is often veiled in irony maybe in part due to a futility found in directing positive change through sincere expression.

keanu reeves Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 you guys have to admit that talking like this and posting a million emojis all reiterating the same tired "irony" is pretty weak though right? dilutes anything resembling a coherent thought or opinion into a soup of repetitive unfunny memes.

DerWaschbar Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 it expresses a feeling of weakness for sure. but i think a lot of the time the goal now is more so directed at creating sophisticated personal languages in order to not feel isolated in a world that is largely beyond personal influence. the repetitive aspect of it works nicely as a further expression of futility and existential dread.
