It's possible, but in my case I'm sincerely not wearing pants right now. I guess I just don't understand art.

yeah but are you only drawing attention to the sincerity of your pantslessness because usually people drawing attention to their pantslessness do it as a flippant way of exhibiting their dissolute nature? or are you just sharing the fact that youre not wearing pants? answer carefully, because depending on your answer you will either be written up in the Journal of Modern Art or told to put on some pants, you slob.

mostly this has to do with how unhappy most people are, and how horribly they go about trying to live their lives

accidents like this are the most common result

media has this problem where once you start giving everything these labels everyone starts creating sublabels and then sublabels of those labels and so on and so forth until you get to the point where the media is having a conversation with itself instead of people

this is how discourse tends to function, which can be considered a problem but isn't anything to be solved; digital media accelerates the process, maybe to the point where a difference in degree becomes a difference in kind?

i don't know how many people are trying to "reach an audience" that isn't primarily other people participating in the discourse

what really turns me off is how loving lazy most of this stuff is

i still can't decide if my distaste for utter disposability is a liability in today's aesthetic economy

I guess I'm just a slob because it's 3AM where I am and I have insomnia and I don't feel like putting on pants. I'm sincere about not wanting to wear pants though, but I don't really care that you know about that... so is that metamodernist?

Like if it weren't for people like Lady Gaga occasionally being born from this kind of dumb artfag poo poo, then I'd have no problem sending all of these people to death camps.

We need more hot kinky bisexual crazy ladies in this world. At all times.
