/lit/ - Literature

Previous thread: >>22290630

It feels like there's a pent up feeling in literary and intellectual culture that some new trend or literary convention is about to emerge onto the scene, in the same way the Gen X television generation brought maximalist post-modernism to the fore in the 90s or how the lost generation ushered in psycho analytical modernism.
Is whatever it is that's about to emerge going to stem from the people involved in the so-called /lit/ renaissance? I don't know. On the one hand I stress the importance of, as a writer, having one's finger on the pulse of the collective unconscious. Being ahead of the trend, understanding the modern condition to such an extent that it seems like one is a prophet. This lays the foundation for then creating that very unconscious and those trends by stimulating and exploiting them via creative works of passion. 4chan is certainly the incubator and birthplace of much of Gen Z culture, humor, anxieties and sub-dermal political tendencies so I can definitely see this generation's best authors and underground literary leaders emerging from here. I think, however, the main problem /lit/ authors have is that there's no single strong stylistic vision. You have esotericisms, realists, maximalists, minimalists, deconstructionists and (admittedly) some plain poor fucking writers in the mix. Those published under the umbrella of &amp, Unreal, the many self pubbed authors here are who I have in mind.
