>>/3739/ > I was trying to make some metaphor relating to the large social networks and smaller websites being a virtual countryside ah alright, I didn´t see that. Either way, the main source of danger is the same one. Fortunately, that leaves the tense parts to those sites while others lurk and check their little places that only a few are actually interested in the topics. I suppose that´s the sacrifice of the mainstream title, that all kind of people take part of it and there is not a single selective process nor any filter for it, much less when it can influence opinions in the large scheme (hence why they have become political platforms) Anyway... > Then I will do the same for you oh boy thanks. but that´s one of the reasons why I avoid promises, because accomplishing and keeping them all the time is really hard despite getting nice details in the long run. > Not only that, it basically influenced the whole idea of what rough and edgy look/act were in the first place.I mean a lot of motifs, things and ideas are still taking and heavily remixing cues from it from hipsters to actual underground movements. agreed and it´s one of the movements that I personally appreciate a lot. In hindsight, one looks at it and screams how they were able to do it. They mixed everything and drew the line that people are still exploiting to this day and yeah, what you are picking out of it is the edgy part. Now, combining darkness, isolation and personal thoughts about the politics of its time isn´t anything new. In fact, that always existed in literature and funnily enough, those musicians weren´t all low class nor uneducated people, in fact, they read books and combined the intellectual parts to the street. What´s the difference between creating a masterpiece like the dark trilogy and edgy fanics that end up being laughably bad? Mostly because of the ideas behind it. That aesthetic was brought in the 2000s because it looked cool to teenagers but the former was focusing on existentialism that was based around the Albert Camus books (The Stranger) and that lead to something timeless. Not to mention that those teenagers didn´t hold a political message that was deeply serious but the temporal let downs that happen for a week. So yeah, that edgy scene served for those people and future generations to express their frustrations and emotions. > Even if you could call a lot of it just aesthetic and imitation from that being the popular ideas of what the underground looks/acts like you still can't give that sort of multi generational influence to most previous counter culture being still actively used unironically outside the generation. I cannot deny that. In fact, I guess that looking at the past roots would help a lot and make them even bigger (or less of a joke). Its biggest problems is that it´s frequently badly used or people became a little bit tired of it and moved their personal problems to......posting their emotions publicly in social media with their names. This last line gives a little break that it really needed so I suppose that following a good narrative should be good enough. Nowadays,people may not be so harsh on this practice because of its return to the underground and getting less exposure. That should help its creators to analyze it coldly and not looking at its cringy aspects all the time.
