Ever feel out of place? and not just highschool, im talking like everywhere. Yesterday, i’m walking around with crowds of people, all seemingly obsessed with fashion, clothes, outward shows of how cool they are and why you should ‘accept’ (sex) them. judgment is what it’s about, which is why us nerds and weirdos who don’t devote themselves to proving how cool they are to others will feel that way when we’re in that scene.
no expression of truth, no humor. just need for attention or concerted efforts to fool somebody. which is the opposite of the point, I think. art and expression should stick its hand into the depths of truth and human experience and pull up something to bridge the mental gap between us and it.
going off in a different direction, you’d figure that if their “teenage expression” was inscrutable enough, no one could tell them it wasn’t good, because then, they could just say “you just don’t get it.” maybe that’s true. but if you failed to communicate, whether it’s an idea, a feeling, a vibe, then you messed up somewhere. It’s the difference between creating something full of beauty and truth and letting it gush out into the world, and just jerkin’ off.
