look you guys i can make web-art too am i cool and edgy yet. invertedcross.gif

This is very harsh and anti-culture / anti-progression. We as cultural leaders (creators) need to allow stupid 14 year old girls to propagate various visual aesthetics. You understand that they’re thinking about art and having deep perception, and you conclude that’s a bad thing? You think you’re on top of the blog game because you perceive a culture (however insipid it may seem) being formed?

Instead of asking ‘why do they look retarded’ you should think ‘why or how did this culture develop in human civilization?’. I’m also arguing this because of the net-art diss even though I was pretty against net art from like 2009-mid2011. I felt like it was monotonous and predictable. I felt like it was formula over art, adding popular aesthetics to get notes. I myself made a few crude meta-netart pieces critiquing the style, but I wasn’t so unsubtle as to call them ‘being edgy’. Now that net art has more or less died down and is working into more of a focused category of bloggers, I see it as less of a ‘goofy thing these blogs i follow are doing’, and more as a showcase of art that harkens late 80s & early 90s aesthetics in regards to technology and change, and usually encloses the scenario in / combines with other, more modern user interfaces ie: macbook photoshop screen. Instead of seeing ‘weak demand for notes’, I see a calling upon of Greek statues and pillars as recognition and appreciation of the past, building upon what a technological western civilization means to the average ‘user’.

and what is ‘pretending to be a goth’. there is obviously nothing that is definite about a goth in an online culture. it’s a non-descriptor, it just means nothing. new subcultures flow out of the idea  of goth constantly.  What each person does to give a visual indication that they choose to evoke ideas of a certain time (in goth’s case: macabre, grotesque, pointed arches, what-have-you), moves ‘goth’ as a ‘thing’ moves forward by an individual’s action.

You (OP, or whoever) probably feel very detached from your blog and how you project yourself/are perceived, and you want others to do the same. You want a layer of separation between you and what you’re looking at. So the internet isn’t ‘real life’, meaning it’s not part of human history, meaning you can separate yourself from it and can easily critique it. But by contributing critique to it on an online forum where posts can be carried around endlessly, you are chaotically subject to my analysis of your criticism.

(I see that the original incarnation of this data is deleted, so I will lessen the weight of the criticism by asking the reader to see the OP as an example of many meta critiques)

Because of the chaotic nature of who may see this post, the order of that chaos is so that one day people will see this post and think ‘this fag is taking it too seriously’ and reblog it with a gif of their favorite celebrity laughing at me. That day is every day when people have this kind of detachment. So am i promoting specifically creepers and grimes? No, I am promoting freedom of visual aesthetic that will lead to progression.
