js realized I went off on tags instead of here 😞

"it's not that deep" it's never that fucking deep according to some of you. books? not that deep just enemies to lovers. films? not that deep just fun colors on screen. music? not that deep just ai generated lyrics. art? not that deep i could do that. and what if i want it to be deep for fucking once? what if i'm not content with surface level? are criticism and opinions and concerns to be dismissed in their entirety because you are happy floating on the surface never once wondering what's actually underneath? it's just a fun little thing it's not supposed to have big themes or ask the big questions well good for you but i'm asking

#‘it’s not that deep’ has always bugged me #it’s always that deep #everything you do #every person you talk to #every time your organs do their work #it’s all so deep #we do things because we are conditioned to do so #the people we talk to are completely different from us #simply because of their different upbringing #their different brain functions #but we’re all still so similar #in the things that matter #our organs and the way they work are a result of #eons of evolution #nothing on this galaxy is surface level #everything has a deeper meaning #and don’t even get me started on ppl saying #‘it’s not that deep’ for a piece of media #a piece of media is a piece of art #and if art cannot be palmed and caressed and examined from all sorts of perspectives #it is not art #even if the book or movie is absolute dogshit #you can still examine the emotion behind it through the artist #even if tthe emotion is greed or boredom or obligation #fuck ai art #fuck ai everything #cynicism and nihilism are ruining our generation #AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON #CRINGE CULTURE #it’s like we can’t enjoy anything anymore
