[Text ID: I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me — the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.]

i hope the barbie movie is a cultural phenomenon. i hope it leaves the next christopher nolan film in the dust. i hope it changes modern cinema forever and all movies made after it is influenced by it in some way. i hope the most academic, in-depth essays are written about it. i hope it's studied in film classes. i hope it remains in the human psyche for generations

"Where has all the genuine self-expression gone? Now what used to be authentic subculture is turned into a performance of Aesthetic!" so many posts exclaim, usually concluding that the problem is Capitalism.

I don't disagree entirely, but. The problem is that y'all are so deathly fucking afraid of things Cringe, Weird, and Uncool that anything unmarketable, subversive, or oddball enough to be "genuine subculture" is gross and unacceptable to you.
