I say this as a confirmed grumpy jerk-ass: this guy sounds like real doofball. Just a terrible person to know and to be around. If I’m the death of the party, this dude is the apocalypse of all parties past, future and present.
Cool, dude, it’s great that you don’t like anything at all but a banjo (?) and penning overwrought articles about how very superior you are to anyone who likes anything. I can’t believe I wasted my time reading this turd but I am going to warn everyone else against it, at least: avoid at all costs.
It sucks that he seems to have decided that nothing will be permitted to move him again, that he is apart from the world and that anything that attempts some artfulness is “pandering,” but good god I did not need to read a thousand words about it.
Just go do banjo stuff. You’re not an apostate or an iconoclast. Just an assclown.
“cultural apostate”….. that can’t be real, can it? I mean… it reads like something a self-righteous insufferable early 20-something might write for the local student newspaper…. but then I clicked on his name and saw his picture…. and now I realize he’s a Powerpuff Girls fan who decided to write an article from the point of view of Fuzzy Lumpkins…. watch this and tell me I’m wrong…

It did read like a student newspaper work, you’re exactly right. It has that same snide condescension and the tone of aggrieved affrontedness that is characteristic of that unfortunate genre.
It would make a brilliant parody, if it were that. But it’s obvious it is not. And I was not familar with Fuzzy before but yeah, I can see it.
The writer also reminds me of an acquaintance of mine at DINFOS who thought he was too good for any normie stuff, but didn’t actually like the high culture he pretended to be besotted with. He was not fun to talk to.
I’ll just go back to watching Blu DeTiger vids and make sure never to read anything by Mike Bendzela again.
