    God damn I feel bad for kids trying to build their personality these days. Wildly alienated with just the shittiest building blocks to work with, so half of them pick a set of deliberately incoherent politics as their bio because they want you to think they have some secret wisdom that makes it make sense, and so they can imagine your monocle popping out in shock upon reading it. This sucks man, just get a hobby and pick a musical genre, because everybody has been sick of the Benedict Bandersnatch counterintuitive genius shtick for like 8 years now and doing it about how poor people should just die is genuinely fucking repulsive.

    Addendum: I have viewed the other screenshots in this thread and no longer feel bad for this person in particular

      I’m not like other guys, I like Metal AND Taylor Swift. Isn’t that unique and special? Tell me you think I’m cool.

        Unfortunately that was unique and special for my generation. It’s a lot more common now. For a while it was shorts, tall socks, sandals at the death metal show too. Now those are both just normal occurrences.
