Bullshit. This website has long since transcended it's initial pretense of anime discussion.

Everybody likes pop culture. Anybody who says otherwise is a deluded idiot who pretends they're better than the "masses."

Modern society has commodified literally everything. Everything has been reduced to images. To escape popular culture is to escape society itself. Not only is that impossible, its a fool's errand.

DFWs critique of pomo seems faceless to me considering he falls into literally every pomo trope possible besides the overbearing irony.

like, IJ is a mess of symbols, open ends, leaving interpretation essentially pointless. i like IJ, but there is no possible way i could summarize its themes or statement. i doubt anyone really could. which is fine, but when hes the posterboy for "new sincerity", it makes it difficult to rationalize the movement.
