"Oh yeah, my band is like new post-modern-pre-hardcore alternative with a hint of crunk and turkish folk. We're pretty raw."

The way I see it, there's nothing as valuable as offending people. They say its not art if it doesn't offend someone. Funny because my blog is not art, its a blog. Funnier because that's kind of what I'd like to address in this post. I am so sick of people who try so hard to be artsy and/or indie. It is just straight up annoying. People who make respectable art I respect as artsy people. Granted, you don't have to be great at what you do from the start to be "artsy", but its the people who try too hard that grind my gears. Posting your poetry on Facebook notes where you really talk about nothing, make no legitimate points, and just use a bunch of big words? Doesn't make you cute. Posting albums of your "photography" that is genuinely awful? Doesn't make you cute. Posting profile pictures where you can't see your face and have all kinds of super shadowy cool indie lighting and artistic unique angle? NOT. You still aren't cute. It makes me livid. "Greetings, I welcome you to my profile. I like poetry and I often read my original masterpeices at sketchy coffeeshops wearing turtle necks and snapping my fingers in a rhythmic fashion. I want to move to London when I'm older. The scenery there is just breathtaking, I've seen it on so many postcards. I really love my moccasins. Its like I can hear the rustling fireside of the Native American campground when I have a modern version of their cozy footwear snuggling my toes. I love political and religious debates. I make narrow-minded generalized statements about my music being much more obscure and 'real' than yours. I live for art fairs and thrift stores in shady areas of downtown. Hippie is my middle name. Check out my Facebook pictures where I'm wearing 3D glasses I punched the lenses out of. Adorable, right?!" People make me want to gavomit sometimes. But hey, that's just the way I see it.
