The prodigies of gen Z are commiting suicide

>>13323309

The specific form of their technological upbringing has totally precluded their capacity for the creation of real literature.

>>13323328
They are most based, they are most redpilled

They're focusing their creative energy on rap.

The defining aesthetic of modern art is kids dressed up in their parents' clothes, mimicking their mannerisms passions and worries.

>>13323728

It's like they know something that we don't.

They are shitposting in kik chatrooms and playing overwatch. They probably write more than you did as a kid, because they are constantly texting. I wouldn't be surprised if they think the millennials are as out of touch and illiterate as we think the boomers are. So it goes.

>>13324065
Did you really never move past Vonnegut?

>>13324079
Why does everyone on 4chan just want to compare dick sizes? sO iT GoEs

>>13324088
if you don't like it, leave. so it goes (back to r*ddit).

I asked my lit professor what to read. He said to read Infinite Jest and Slaughterhouse Five, so I did, then I got bored of fiction and went back to science.

>>13324079
I might be illiterate by your measure, but you're illiterate by my measure so.. whatever.

have the millennials?

>>13324112
Your professor memed you what the fuck

>>13323309
Zoomer here.

I'm working on it but it takes time

>>13324134
Millennials have already produced some pretty high power charlatans. Just because they're scum doesn't make them less prodigious.

>>13323309
Most Zoomers literally don't care about literature at all. It's true most of the time they spent on is wasted on social media and Fortnite.

>>13323309
how many works of substance have produced milennials yet? None

I obviously don't speak for most zoomers, but as a zoomer i've probably read more books than everyone who posts in this thread combined. i started at 14 (i'm 18 now) and since then i've read around 1-2 books a day. i've read my way through most of the western canon and i doubt that any of you boomer shits can say the same. as for what i've produced: you'll know in a decade or two, or in the birth of a new literary movement within the next few centuries if i'm particularly unlucky.
>>13324088
also this

>>13323309
the oldest zoomers are like 23
so no, give it 40 some years

>>13323309
>Where's all the child literary prodigies at?
they all have crippling depression

>>13323335

>>13324831
the oldest zoomers are turning 22 this year.

I'm 21 and I've been browsing 4chan since I was 12.

>>13324831
Scared I was a zoomer until I read this >>13324896

>>13325629
i personally know a 23 year old zoomer, i am going to have to diagnose you with a case of the zoomies

Slow down nigga, it ain't a race

>>13325906
You should read in an active voice, rather than just to memorize what is on each page as quickly as humanly possible. Read as if you are listening to a story unfold, and let it engage all of your senses. Savor everything, chew your fucking food zoomer.

>>13325953
ah so you only skim the book for an hour or two then claim to have "read it", gotcha

>>13325953
Good advice. I like to imagine every sentence as it plays out, and ponder over paragraphs until I feel I have the same mental image of the scenes as the author had. I could surely rush through and get the gist of it, but what's the point in that?

>>13324539
such as...?

>ctrlf
>no mention of capitalism

we havent had a greats since the 80s by authors born in the 30s, as bad as phones are i think theres other factors at play

The average zoomer is like 4 years old.
I wouldn't expect a monumental achievement any time soon.

>"[Anpo] was a movement which was equally as powerful as, and more animated than, the opposition to progressive parties and the labor unions. A comparison to the political and cultural situation of those years—twenty years ago—which that of today sheds light on what it is exactly that has been lost and how we lost it. The light shined upon the road along which twenty years have taken us and upon a very symbolic phenomenon: literature treading its path to wrack and ruin."
Kenzaburo Oe on Japan after its biggest Left movement and the erosion of JSP/JCP and Union power.

Same, I’ve already produced one post-modern epic set entirely in Runescape, and I’m already working on a follow-up about gay fidget spinners. Can you feel the heat on your heels, boomers?
