How do I break into my city's artistic bohemian community, /lit/?

>> No.5699713

If you're mediocre enough to even want that in the first place then you've already passed the first test.

>> No.5699719

There is no such thing. There's an equivalent, but it's not how you picture it. Just like it's not going to be Goodfellas if you get involved in your city's criminal underworld.

Urban artistic communities is not as smart as the people on /lit/. I dated a artistic girl once who lived in a studio and sold her stuff on the street, and she called me a 'genius' because I read a lot of classics. It was probably just flattery, but it soured me to her even though I didn't break up with her for that. Her art was pretty good though, and I hit on her because she had a nude of herself (but covering her breasts and a shadow hit her genitals) and she looked pretty good in the painting. Paintings can deceive of course, but thankfully that one didn't.

So now the "hipster" phenom of the 21st century are artists.
Once it was gays in scarves, then insincere people, then nouveau-yuppy bougies. Generally people who like things, like every nerd/geek, but who gloats that they've liked it longer. And the weirdest of all; the fake glasses and typewriters in cafés. Did they see this in a fashion magazine?

Highly doubtful but in any case, there are always jobs to be found in the service industry, etc. Just look at how international travellers make their money.

Again notice the mechanisms of the slave ideal: he constructs an illusory phantasm that caters to his particular needs in order to rail against it, and so all that's happening is you have the slave working away in his own personal little fantasy with the actual object of his resentment totally dropping out of the equation. So he can't even engage in the present situation with any amount of authenticity.

But with me it's entirely different; I don't really care who's behind the screen on the other end, it's totally irrelevant to me. All I'm here to do is listen to the sound of my own voice and my own exceptional ideology using people who sound much less interesting as a mere means.

They resent the pedants who lecture them on their passions and forms of expression. They know that their modes of inspiration and reaction are formed by historical and geographical elements and they don't pretend to live outside of the greater context of it all - they just don't need uncreative diminishers like you pointing this out. It's boorish and petty.

You have always struck me as one of those infinitely proud asshats who considers tact and civility to be beneath you. One of those childish bores in love with the sound of his own voice who always needs to have an opinion on something or someone simply to have one.

be above average intelligence, possess innate acting talent, then watch a lot of movies in all your stages of development. Social alienation at an early age (result of above average intelligence) will force you to act to become a part of the world. This will work for all of your adolescence, but as others begin to reach organic maturity the mechanics of your endurance as a false social entity will be exposed. That is what happened to the NYU guy in the story.

Is your city's artistic bohemian community worth anything?

I live in a small city I was in the process of joining the artistic community but then I realize that it was not worth it.

I'm now looking for either the city with the newest ideas or that can give me the most money

Nope. /lit/ is where people who have no existence outside their own heads go to shit their terrible ideas onto the internet, where they will fester forever as the only evidence of a wasted existence.

lol. It makes me question if people ever get something out from 4chan, aside from the lulz and stuff recommendations. I guess every board is generally shit to an extent and have golds buried deep in them. But who would have the time to sifting through shit just to find gold especially when you already follow a few boards?

This also gives me a dilemma if I should just try to use forums again, but I'm repulsed by the idea.
