Degenerate

[Anonymous No.19445862]

I was talking to an ex friend and called larkin's poetry degenerate (and i used that word). My friend accused me of being too 4chan irl and said that degeneracy isn't a valuable critique.
Degeneracy is an absolutely valuable critique for a work of art. Why would you think otherwise?

It's filled with cuck repression and silent cope, and the offensiveness of it stems from that repression.

I find it a useful term, I am degenerate myself anyway

Dali’s art is degenerate but I still like it. So yes it’s not a valuable critique.

[Anonymous No.19446357]

>>19445957
Sure it is...compare Dali to the performance art mattress girl made (e.g. fucking a fat guy and uploading it to pornhub under the guise that it's a commentary on toxic masculine sexuality). You can critique both in terms of their degeneracy and roll into a discussion about whether one actually has redeemability or at least depth of theme/idea.

You're being too 4chan again. Rephrase it without resorting to buzzwords. I know you can do it. With some practice you will be able to pull it off irl as well

So your only criticism is 4chan memes. What else, he dilates?

Larkin wrote one of the greatest poems ever crafted about the defense of tradition and heritage, though ('Church Going').

If you learn how to appreciate poetry before you criticise it you'll enjoy life more, become more interesting and well-read, you won't lose friends, etc. Poetry deserves as much appreciation as you can give it.

Your ex-friend is wrong because degeneracy is a perfectly valid criticism of a work of art.

However, you also are wrong, because Larkin's poetry isn't really degenerate. It's many things, but not that.

Is your ex-friend an ex-friend because of this incident? If so, you're both extra wrong for allowing such an absurd disagreement to affect your relationship.

I'm not really too 4chan irl. Look at how many anons defend literal degeneracy.
Think about how many people try out degenerate acts that become habits because faggots like larkin normalize them in shitty poems, then anons cope, acting like they're any bit normal, thereby convincing others to engage in his degeneracy with him.
Sad!
I'm happy i let that faggot friend go.
