Different anon but I really love his more magical realism vein work (which usually ends up more epic in length) like 1Q84, Wind Up Bird and Kafka on the Shore.

you guys will start liking this garbage because it’s getting evident to everyone how shallow mainstream social media is.

it seems to be the appropriation of a midcentury poet (hailing from new england or the east coast, most likely). it's all fine and good to dress like this and like enjoy and use ephemera on a day to day basis, but there's a fine line between genuine style/lifestyle and just dressing up and making a fool out of yourself.

it's kind of like the simple leather jacket. uber authentic on some and horrendously disingenuous on others.

indeed, i was dressing in a similar fashion (albeit more casual) midway through high school (2012-13) before i transitioned to full blown trad/preppy (as an act of rebellion, long story). It's definitely be popular to play around with this style before.

Nice deflection. I have casual hobbies and passions. An example of the former is collecting vintage audio production equipment and digitizing old sampler/workstation sounds to share/trade with fellow enthusiasts. As a subset I collect vinyl as well and cut my own samples. I'm very particular about the needles and amplifiers because I understand their impact on the tone of the record. This gives me the opportunity to dabble in audio restoration as a result. I've started to make IR models of my gear now because it is impractical to use all of it within in my more digital workflow. Notice how I didn't even get into genres or methodology yet. But it's ok I bet you like music just as much as I do. I'm not interested in typing pages worth of further hobbies I simply dabble in just so you can give me some cringe reply with no substance like every single of your posts so far.

> 21st century fashion’s preeminent enfant terrible, Hedi Slimane, referenced Rimbaud in one of his first ever collections. The designer’s Dior Homme Spring 2002 collection was titled “Boys Don’t Cry,” and in the program notes, Slimane included the final stanza of the Rimbaud poem “Le Dormeur du Val.” The poem is about a beautiful young soldier lying in the grass, a pure vision of peace. In that final Slimane-selected stanza, Rimbaud reveals the soldier actually has two red holes in his side—that despite having a childlike smile on his face, and sun all over his skin, he’s already been killed.

The poem works perfectly for Slimane’s collection, which is full of teen spirit, shirtless models, and varying motifs of violence. Most memorably, there were gunshot wounds embroidered over the heart of several dress shirts, dripping in red sequins—love wounds on these boys who don’t cry. This bloody, violent heartache seeps through Slimane’s work. It’s that visualization of not knowing how to articulate young heartbreak because it’s so overwhelming, so apocalyptic. As Rimbaud wrote, when still a teenager, “Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.”

Hedi was dark academia back when he was a teenager while reading Rimbaud.

You fucking fags should do more research before posting. The Dark Academia aesthetic was popularised by The Secret History by Donna Tarth and got a resurgence when The Goldfinch was published and other TSH copy cats started to get published.
It's heavily inspired by the WASP lifestyle (see Dead Poets Society >>14631443 for example) that Tarth experienced in the '80s.
One thing that no one mentioned in this thread is that Dark Academia often deals with the theme of Death and Mortality like in The Secret History. Ence the Dark.
The problem is that with the mainstreamzation of the DA aesthetic, came with these this Instagram thots trying to associate with Harry Potter, without knowing its origins.
It's pretentious yes, but WASPs, in general, are pretentious.

There are plenty of laptops that work out of the box with Linux and if you can't pick one you probably don't know or care enough about computers for the operating system that you use to matter. Availability of drivers has nothing to do with what makes an OS good or bad, especially as far as Unix clones go
