But I'm not trying. That took me like 15 seconds to type. I just want to read other people's highschool experience written like DFW. Long sentences, footnotes, endnotes, extremely descriptive language, well prosed, niche humor, "in" jokes, shit like that.

>patterns and ideas repeating themselves and I can intuitively derive the essence fairly rapidly
Literature like any art is about aesthetic value and exploration ubiquitous ideas from different angles, not about generating entirely novel concepts. You sound like a larping brainlet who overdosed on memes and cliffnotes without actually reading anything.

Is there a relevant cultural scene ANYWHERE in the West these days? By that I don't mean necessarily a literature, music or whatever scene, but a ""general culture"" scene, as in housing writers, musicians, painters, what have you, a sense of artistic community. Cities like NY and London are excluded because they're costly(and the latter has become especially dangerous). They also house a lot of pretentious rich kids who copy paste edgy shit.
This video made me think about it:

No its one fact balkanized into a number of misleading and seductive untruths.

Does anyone here has experience at writing smut for quick bucks?
I need fast money but my serious novels are too autistic to sell more than 50 copies.
