Good. You deserve this

>time like, isn't real, man. WHOAH.
Why do pseuds who flunked Algebra II always say this? Most physicists don't agree.

What's the difference between post-irony and new sincerity?

I just saw the former term being applied to Million Dollar Extreme

>Figuring out the intentions of the ironist is easy: whatever is being shown is being mocked. But the post-ironist folds over on his own sincerity with exaggeration, using the ironic not just to ridicule, but also to enjoy the absurdities of what he genuinely appreciates.

Seems to make sense. Is this the typical definition? What's new sincerity?

>read Underworld
>there's no vampires OR werewolves

>See Dalai Lama, damn, the man is happy all the time and always preaches about how good life is and about compassion and such

he's a PR guy trying to take back his throne and get back his harem and slaves

Is there anyone else who cant take most of the shit talked about by cultural theorists / literary types seriously? Every analysis of culture / politics / history / wishy washy topic is filled wiht bland and "profound" over generalisations. At root some people like X and others like Y instead. Or people are acting for their own financial benefit at the expense of others. Thats all it ever fucking is yet people try to pretend otherwise.
