gloom

more cultural degradation; the tech gods have taken all that once made us unique, leaving us cloning & accelerating towards a stale, bleak homogeneous future—nothing new will come, ai will make sure of it 

no more goths, jocks, nerds—all kids are one; even those who are “different” are just wearing their parents clothes. vocabularies simplified; retardation ran amok. see jaguar redesign; taco bell, mcdonalds & wendys—all now resembling mid tier physical therapy practices. walk through the mall & see for yourself. restaurants called “eggslut;” others stripped down to a single four letter word. apps colliding; designers dying. endless books filled of slop called things like “the subtle art of not giving a fuck” & “unfuck yourself.” houses bought up en masse by our private equity overloads & pasta’d across entire towns; millennial grey burning holes in my retina. hollywood bleeding out our favorite sagas, milking ip dry
