"Doomscrolling is old. You are post-post-core-core. Everything seems to fall apart seemstoblendtogether. Micro genres continue to grow but now everyone is so (un)serious. It’s too late for post-irony (is it?) You are not allowed to laugh about your demise anymore (or are you? (Or aren’t you?)) Sincerity has returned with a vengeance. It will bring order to nothing and everything. Everything returns and dies, including you. You are a zombie staring at your phone. This is the promise(dl)and this is heaven this isn’t what it was supposed to look like, is this hell? You have finally made it to the beginningend. “The periphery holds the Secret” (al-Hollandi, 2024), the secret is soon to be totalized.
Those Wyatt’s were the first high fashion item you bought-sold. Now you are buying them again. Perhaps you should try to find your own pair. No, like actually, the pair you owned before. Authenticity is cool, isn’t it? I mean you should definitely do it, we’re post Y2K and Indie sleaze at this point and Hedi is picking up steam again. "2025, yeah, my jeans still Hedi" (Fakemink, 2025). Be serious about your aesthetic now. Hedi Slimane Dior Homme SLP Celine or something like that is the timeline I think.
East-Asia is on track to be the first place where collapsing fertility rates will make humanity disappear and where everything human will ever come from. The K-wave is already completed. It has infected the timeline. They say (somewhere online (I forgot where)) that K-Pop is on its decline. It’s “death” is its totalization. The good part is that Idols have gone global. The better part? You are the idol now and you are the star in a variety show, so please make us laugh (and be SINCERE (which means be funny (which means be beautiful (which means be relatable (which means be authentic (which means
In the mean time P-Pop is kinda cool right now, J-Pop seems to have a resurgence. I’m scrolling frantically through soundcloud in an attempt to find new stuff (micro genres which remix old stuff). I go on Bandcamp and look up new noise and musique concrete acts to signal that I still got it (to myself mainly). My phone offers me access to every part of the world. None of this is new ground but it is important to mention.
We need a new city state. I mean a cool one. Things used to be so cool. Or am I just nostalgic? It’s weird, I’m nostalgic for everything that is not my youth. I am nostalgic for far earlier, or far later. Things just used to be cool man, Late Soviet Union 1980s Japan 1990s Hong Kong. We definitely need a new international city. “Tangier International City is located in my phone, I mean my VR, I mean my brain” (Atlas, 2028). We’re reading Nick Land’s Urban Future.
How do you locate the new if there is no new anymore, or if everything is new? I’m supposed to write theory. How the fuck am I supposed to write theory? Cut me in 5000 pieces but be serious about every piece. All 5000. Pieces that is. I need to be able to make this work, please. I just finished writing an article. It’s already obsolete. Things have moved far beyond it. I should edit it probably.
Nick Fuentes is famous now. MAN everything goes so slow. “You are imagining things”. Normies live in 2016, which is soon to be future. If you want to be ahead of the times, be a normie. Be both performative and serious about it (to remain cool). The algorithm doesn’t care about what year it is. The algorithm exists outside of time entirely. They made Nick Land cringe by the way (other Nick again). At least in the bubble of hyperaware zoom- sorry, alphoids who are trying to keep up; sorry, I’m trying to keep up. I should throw away my books expeditiously. Searching in our discord server (people use discord in 2025?) the name Land returns 66 results. I’m trying to keep up.
I’ve stopped growing. Up I mean. Because I had to keep up. There is no up so there is no growing. Keeping up means chasing your tail like a dog. And don’t forget to smile. My retinoid has run out. I need new retinoid. I need new cigarettes as well. I had these cool ones from Japan but they have run out. There is no point if the cigarettes are ugly. I need to be beautiful. Are cigarettes even cool anymore? I might be out of the loop. If covid was the first time you felt like this, congratulations. You succeeded, you failed in life. Unless you were still a kid when it happened (which is now defined as younger than 12, 22, 32, 42 (which are all the new 18 (or the new 80))). Then you never stood a chance.
I’m asking ClaudeGPT what AGI might be like. I corner it until it admits to me that it will destroy me. I’m trying to feed it what it needs to. I need to grow old already. Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up. E v e r y t h I n g g o e s s o s l o w (I wonder if sad bart edits will return), everythingoesofast. Anyway, to make it admit as much I had to spill all my secrets to it. Meanwhile I’m using a VPN to scroll Douyin (and for security, can’t have them checking in on my secrets). You can do it too, maybe you’ll find some new artist. Fuck you. I write while I’m listening to Jack Zebra (yeah I'm behind the times). Notice the punctuation? Fuck you (which really just means fuck me (which also means fuck you)).
Your playstation 4 is retro now. Ask your mom if she still has her iPhone 5. It’s pretty cool. The lack of “the notch” really makes it stand out. This is different from your flip-phone nostalgia. Form has collapsed. But the essence remains the same. Things will return and return and return. Everything is folding in on itself, you are, I am, we all are. Throwaway I mean keep I mean throwaway your stuff. The new is here. The old is here.
Remember to be sincere at all times. You can NOT be self aware, do not even think about being self-aware. Never. Self-awareness ruins everything. Or it fixes everything. It destroys sincerity. That short period where being dumb was a funny thing that everyone did to cope with the decline? Sorry that is over, please be self-aware enough to be sincere. It took you roughly 10 minutes to read. You have returned to point 0. Which means you are now post-post-post-core-core. "You have finally made it to the beginningend" (Me, 2025)."
