It's postmodern it's so edgy. See gesvitys rainbow too, there are lot of popular culture references and fragmented narrative

>Alaska is peeling spliffs like peeling back foreskin. It's a hot-box in the way that a microwave is a hot box and I'm choking to death on a rooty-tooty-patootie ass-cloud of weed dust like crusting butt must. Alaska turns to me, the folds in her pants churning like a thousand dick exposés, my eyes rolling back and way back chutes-with-ladders-esque down my throat and into my ass.

You don't. You skim it then claim you've read it to impress strangers on a cantonese image board.

I agree completely OP. Infinite Jest is verbal regurgitation. No one should go through the torture of finishing it.
