Cuz what I'm watching is process collapsing into performance. Creation w/o apprenticeship. The costume of art w/o the long, humiliating apprenticeship of becoming an artist.
And yes the images piss me off. The faux polish. Instant gravitas. The prefab dream sludge. But the deeper itch is moral.
It is the mismatch between suffering & self-awareness.
I can tolerate hurt people. Most serious artists can. They built half the museums & wrote all the good songs.

What exhausts me is when someone takes every wound & grind it into identity powder, snorts it & labels their high authenticity. At some point, pain stops being a wound & becomes a business model. But adulthood is the point where your tragic backstory stops being a royal pardon. Suffering explains behavior, not baptize it. Professionally I trust my disgust. There's a huge difference btw authentic artistic necessity & compulsive content production.
