This song confirms virtually everything I've said. Formulaic, repetitive and unoriginal.
You're probably not enlightened yet, at least the other anon that responded to me was able to see the limits of this music.

>Mediocraty is normalcy
That was precisely my point.

>Most people are pretty normal (normal being a wide margin).
most people are just oblivious. Look at the anon above, he's completely clueless about why would I ever criticize such music. I'm pretty sure that by making him listening high music while explaining to him the greatness (both in sentiment, originality and craft) would be enough for him to reevaluate all the music he has listened so far.

Unironic answer: you read Nichomachean ethics.
Simplified answer: you examine and motivate to yourself everything you do. Why am I spending so much time on the internet? Am I gaining something from it? You question everything you do while being reasonable.
Simple straightforward questions will, at the very least, help you cutting all those aspects of your life that are extremely toxic. You probably have no reason to spend so much time on 4chan, or to eat so much junk food, or to never read and work out. Act accordingly to this new aknowledgement, while keeping in mind that virtue is something that you have to practice, and that excellence is an habit.

I mentioned intuition too, but I'm not ready to say that one path is better than the other, since the destination is the same.
That said, I still think that we internalize everything we read, say and think in a way or another. Spending your entire childhood and teenagehood on 4chan (and we know that most of us have done so all day long for years) will most likely stunt your ambition and impair your existential point lf view on the world.

Depressing.
