ITT: pleb stories

>chilling with friends
>put morton feldman's second string quartet
>confront myself and my self (as an ontological historical entity) with the mirror of atonality (as a mirror is not an empathic but a reflexive entity, alien to the space and time it reflects and only existing by itself in relation to the other) and realize the boundaries of human thought, comprehension and consciousness
>reach rational ecstasy
>pleb friend gets up and says "what is this silence shit, lmao, put some nirvana"
>get angry at their rockist subaltern consumption conditioned by the structures of power of the imperialist white economies, but contain it
>calm myself down by remembering quotes from finnegans wake, my favorite book since i was a teenager
>mfw can't express myself because i'm a spectator in the society of spectacle

"It is not the slumber of reason which engenders monsters, but vigilant and insomniac rationality. - Gilles Deleuze"

please stop embarrassing yourself.

who embarrasses themselves on an anonymous page? wat are you talking about weirdo

im #beta

>pick a song
>"wow this is weird"

>I like Jordan Peterson

im #OceanGang look it up

my favorite pasta

wtf do you mean by embarrass LLLLOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL

I've put on Feldman for (normie) friends and they've liked it.

For some reason the only stuff my friends don't like when I put on is anything overtly sad, but they're probably right and it's pretty autistic to put on slowcore when hanging out.

My point though: Morton Feldman is chill. Also mellow philosophizing with your friends is chill.

>literally outing yourself as a retard that doesnt know how to spell in trying to point out correct spelling of a word

>has friends
>has normalfag friends
>uses the term normie

You NEED to go back, normalfag.

only a degenerate weirdo would even bring up embarrassment in a shit like this. watafack

wat? why would you feel embarased on an anonymous page? Why do you think anyone would feel like that loll sorry im beta

I only use the term "normie" for pragmatic reasons because I know where I am and the sort of words Sup Forumstants understand, which is an attitude that also kind of explains why I have friends in the first place.

tfw you are a spectator in the society of spectacle

ITT: Bloody post-modern marxists

This, and people say jews haven't infiltrated Sup Forums......

post contemporary compositions, art and literature that you appreciate

Jordan Peterson, Ready Player One, and the Cuphead Soundtrack

a fellow intellectual I see

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Cuphead. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Cuphead’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Cuphead truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Cuphead’s existential catchphrase “------------” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jared Moldenhauer’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Cuphead tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid.

>not posting the picture of raf

...

You sounds like a chompskyhonk

Good bait, but the Deleuze quotation doesn't really fit in with the story.

>rothko
>dope paintings

dude what

also

>sixty grand a month

So accurate

who are you quoting?

>fundamentally misunderstanding how CIA infiltration worked
the CIA responded to critical praise of abstract expressionism and decided to push it further with covert jacking up of art market prices so people making stuff that was avant garde would move to new york. the actual genre of abstract expressionism is still an important aesthetic movement you dunce
