Trendwhores Unite!

Is it just me or...........

Is everyone nowadays a dark tortured writer spewing morbid poetry about suicide in bathrooms? Or just a writer in general, no offense people but not everyone's cut for it, some of the stuff I've read recently around really sucks.

Or a self pronounced rock star, because they own one guitar, jamming in their parents' garage trying to convince some poor girl to sleep with them because they're waif thin and just need a home cooked meal?

Or a seasoned bi-sexual who can't find enough satisfaction with one sex so turns to both?

Or an environmentally friendly health nut, who doesn't mind paying like 6 bucks each half hour for a smoothie, and then complains that the styrofoam cups aren't biodegradable?

🤨

Like some people are such walking contradictions it's hilarious. And don't get me wrong, much love to people who are into this stuff, but who are in it for real, I've no respect for people who are "acting" to fit in.

I have to say that I very much dislike people who do things just because they think it's cool. Like, I write, but I rarely show anyone the stuff I write because most of the time I don't think it's good enoough. Art is more my thing anyway. And the whole pretending to be bi thing really annoys me...I am bi, it's who I am, I don't care, I don't call attention to it, and I don't give a shit if it's the 'in' thing right now; I've known that I was for years. Seriously, people need to learn to be themselves and not pretend to be something they're not just to fit in.

I just find it so amusing that the one's who claim to be the most hardcore into any of the above can be summed up by my little summaries right there, it's because know this, you're not an individual if you didn;t come up with it.

I mean yea, don't get me wrong, there really are people like that, like lana for example eyes
But having just visited the poetry corner and read some of these poems, some of the stuff people spew out is despicable. If you have a bubble gum pink avvy and sig, no one will take poetry about death and suicide serious by you, specially if you typ lik tis. 🙄
Like pick an identity and stick to it, because schizophrenia has many wonderful drugs out these days. 👀

Too long to read 😛

I actually more or less stay out of the Poetry forum altogether now, except for certain threads....don't get me wrong, there is some great stuff in there, but so much of it is just the same tired drivel that you hear so much...and it's so annoying. These people, by trying to stand out, are only adhering to silly trends. The best way to stand out is to just be yourself.

Oh no doubt there's some awesome stuff, same with gen fic, but I swear to god I think from the poems I've read the words blood, gasp, dying, alone, darkness, sliding to the floor, pain, are in like every single one.

Not to mention some of the stuff I could have sworn are Evanescence or similar lyrics 😛

Ewww, Evanescence 😘

In the Poetry forum I mostly read AC's stuff (seriously, the stuff he writes is really good). GenFic's also loaded with a lot of junk, I mostly read Rex's and a few other people's stuff. So much of the stuff in there is single paragraph snippets with terrible grammar and spelling.

I've posted a few poems, and some of it is the whole depressive stuff, but I at least try and make it original instead of the same stuff you see everywhere...plus I write all sorts of stuff, not just that. Poetry's far from being what I'm good at writing anyway, I'm much better at short stories.

I know what ye mean...

these days when I look around, I see the same types of people.. originality hardly exists anymore-.-

JeezumO.O people really need to stop following trends and just be their own person✅

I hate almost all poetry in all honesty, I just don't see the like impressiveness and such in it 😮
But yes, some of the short stories really are amazing. I was trying to steel myself to read Jordan's stuff, but in all fairness I can't do sci-fi at all, regardless of how good it is and never did 😮 but it's alright, I still love him.

And well put R-ette 😄

😱 OMG!!! speaking of guitars I saw this sweet toy one at BestBuy but it was for a playstation game, like you pushed buttons on the guitar instead of strings to go in tune with the music playing 😱

😮 why am i still up at 1 in the morning 😕

hehe...thanks silver😄

To many people prefer adapting a style above expressing their real personality, all out of the fear that they will not be understood or accepted.
The sadness in that lays partially in the fact that one somehow is supposed to be part of a group to be of any importance, and as well in the too common believe amongst people that that is true.
That is what wars are made of and what suppresses the free mind.

a1>> ums...cuz ur not tired?^^....I'm never tired at 1am^^

That last sentence made me think of Equilibrium 😂
But I completely agree with what you've said..err typed. It's mostly fear of not being accepted I think. But acceptance means nothing when it's not really you they're accepting.

"Be yourself, everyone else is taken."
I've no clue who said it, but credit to them whoever they are. 👆

For most, they are low in Will Power and are easily influenced to join a sub culture or a trend group of Today. When I say most, I am referring to the kids of our future. The kids in school. They are the greatest trend whores of all. Don't get me wrong: I understand they are Guinea pigs to the Media and the almost infinity empire of the Industrial corporations around the country who are selling just about anything to just about anybody... BUT that does not enable these kids to automatically start joining these ridiculous and annoying subcultures just to "fit in". Can't they be normal? Emo, Poser, Skater, Goth.... For f*cks sakes. Have you gone so damned far in you can no longer realize the embarrassment you are inflicting upon yourself by dressing the way you do and doing what you do? And you can tell when they are trying to look look or when they try to stand out around their friends and in the vicinity of their homely little sub cultures. Try accepting your own personality and stop hiding it. THAT'S the latest trend. YOURSELF, MORON!

It's quite ridiculous now. The youth has lost Will power. It saddens me to see that some of these pathetic individuals may be running this country some day.
