Hate to burst your bubbles, but aesthetics is an inherent part of what we see as ‘substance’

No work of art is merely a skeleton of technique or “quality”; aesthetics and style inform the emotions conveyed in every movie, every song, and every Netflix show we binge

Now, can substance be a little lacking in works that seem to only flash their aesthetics? Yes, however; aesthetics - in any artistic medium - is the lens through which substance is conveyed in the first place. And if the aesthetic is lacking...the substance will be brought down too, no matter how much of it there appears to be

Hence why I believe that overall media consumption is gonna collapse because people are gonna sick of the same stuff.

Will our generations recollect the previous decade with same fondness as the 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s or 00’s? Perhaps the first half, but there’s no denying the last four years have been culturally dry through companies pushing their marketing towards “how can we appeal to the highest number of people in these culturally sensitive times?”

It’s like you HAVE to partake in it because that’s how it’s advertised. Bro you’re not listening to the new Drake? Bro he’s just the man because omg he just wins he does numbers bro. While watching the latest Star Wars movie with their cast of #relatablebecausetheyhaveablackguyandaasiangirlthathaveNOTHINGtodowiththeplot and #epicquotableoneliners and god forbid you have an OPINION because the numbers are STRAIGHT FACTS‼️😤 How many movie trailer cliches have we wrung our dry? It’s like we’ve accepted this formula that we just have these companies cater our tastes for us at the cost of any individualism or artistic integrity. You don’t like the popular thing I like? >:( Well now I’m gonna make all of these assumptions based on the information I know about you to make my thing more superior.

F*** X. F*** this b***oo ass pandering that doesn’t amount to anything significant other than “i am emotionally distressed, but i’m better than you because i have the latest and greatest in materialism.” How the f*** is anyone ‘unique’ and ‘fresh’ when they’re all buying the same s*** and acting like they’re the man all because someone else they know did it and that brought them attention. The figurehead of a generation is someone who makes 2 minute long songs on half baked projects that open with “I’m gonna be talking about REAL S*** and so if you can’t take it just turn this off because you won’t understand.” Tears for Fears showed sincerity and compassion to being vulnerable and overcoming trauma. Nirvana showed the suppressed angst of a generation that was neglected and forced to meet absurd expectations from their parents. Kanye showed that you could do anything if you believed in yourself no matter what and to not let those judge you. X? Xxxtentacion showed that your problems are serious and that everyone is against you so F*** THEM!!!1!!1! I just wan die I can’t go on

Outside of Kendrick, what is our generation’s artist? I’d say Kendrick for promoting self love and engaging the African American community to express themselves and to respect everyone including oneself, but I’m sure b***oo cry baby ‘I’m not willing to go through my problems because the only person I trust is my mom’ certainly shaped a generation of egotistical consumerism.

K I’m done b****in.
