/ourgirl/ finds out about Dark Academia :)

What kind of poetry do bourgeois students write at elite universities these days?

>>24818595
Summarize the video. I'm not watching that.
>>
>>24818595
I honestly like the Dark Academia aesthetic and wished it would turn into a proper movement. I think it is what will be necessary for the arts and culture as AI brainrots a large portion of the population.

My wardrobe aesthetic is whatever I like at the charity shop.

You didn't watch the video fuckwad. She already knew about it before.

Funny how she likes the aesthetics of the past but as soon as the movement stops being purely performative and people start adopting an old-school lifestyle she calls it problematic

you're welcome, next time do your own research
>>
>>24818635
A proper movement adheres to principles or ideas. We all know that the Romantics became disillusioned following the Reign of Terror and Napoleon sweeping through Europe and turned inward in search of meaning, but the kind of people who are interested in the aesthetics of Romanticism benefit immensely from the status quo, so there's nothing for them to react against or challenge other than Trump, which is beating a dead horse. We live in a world now where economics dominates politics and not the other way around, hence a productive literary and artistic movement is unlikely. It's all debauchery and self-centered behavior from here on out.

>its 40 minutes
How do you retards have this much time.
>>
>>24818661
I have a theory that AI will remove the control that academia has over the humanities. And a movement like Dark Academia is an actual attempt, although at times very shallow, to take the humanities back to passionate amateurs. Like how the printing press removed the control that the monasteries had over knowledge and information. I think that would be the principle of the movement.

fuck off
>>
>>24818595
People that really adhere to aesthetics disturb me. Most of them are aware of how shallow, surface level and consumerist the whole endeavor is and they don't care. They are perfectly fine with being the phoniest people around.
>>
>>24818885
>They are perfectly fine with being the phoniest people around.
I think the worst part is that they feign humility when the truth is that they couldn't give less of a fuck about the average person. They're opportunists at their core.

They actively hate on anything that isn't performative

* Videos from her side channel
* Videos from summer
* Reading vlogs where she cleans her rooms and bends over for the camera every five minutes
* Guest appearances on other channels who put less effort into editing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDuQcT-pmIo&t=340s)

I feel a strange mix of pity and disgust towards women like this. They probably feel so miserable when the cameras are off. I wonder what'll become of them once they realize that the daily affirmations are complete fucking bullshit.

every single time i watch a video essay that discusses literature it almost always devolves into complaints about how this genre is "too white" or that one "has roots in colonialism". there's an entire segment of her video where she draws parallels between "dark academia" and the rise of far right parties / ideologies in the West ffs. mental slavery

I hope she gets gang raped by you know what, then see what she thinks about them.

that is the only way to defeat a demon like this. it will try to ensare you while still at church when it is in pretty teen disguise turning around and checking you out. but once it's locked onto your cock and the demon comes out lolling its tongue and rolling its eyes in ecstasy, spinning its head around 360, even 450 degrees, then you know that you are in trouble. god be with you anons, in this evil season.

academia has been anti-white for the last 80 years, chuds only started creating culture recently, it's still uncharted territory in most institutional enviroments

Oh man, this shit happens so many times it gotten boring, i will be listening to a indie novel review and in the middle of it the e video maker will go ehh the only reason this got mo much hype is because the tiltok algorithm is racist and helps white people with blonde hair get on the top, like what did this have to do with the novel review?

Honestly, I'm more socialist than 97% of 4chan, but I don't understand how a thinking person in 2025 would complain about "white supramacy" in every fucking video.
Academia loves to take apart everything - why has nobody stepped forward to criticize the pathological self-hate being taught?
Like even if I'd agree with it, I'd still want to analyze how that thought I agree with came to become such a dominating mantra.

Well anyway. that comment became too long.

I found the video actually quite informative - I only really became that Dark Academia aestetic is practiced, beyond Harry Potter girls, in the "Waldun era."
Now I don't know why she laments that gayness is not as associated with it anymore. I mean things evolve and indeed get mainstreamed, but I don't feel that the style became worse. It's nice to look at.
And just because the original book criticism elitism doesn't mean that criticism is right. I mean it's bad for people if they are desperate to fit in, it's psychologically bad. But elitism, as long as it produced culture or even science, is beneficial. There not being elites is a futile wish, so make the best of it.
>>

>Academia loves to take apart everything - why has nobody stepped forward to criticize the pathological self-hate being taught?

I really don't know why critical theory hasn't really been taken to the concept of "racism". When you actually look at it, it's an ideologically loaded term on the level of "heretic" or "bourgeoise mentality". It only comes from the 1930s, it originally functioned as a slur, the wikipedia definition of racism bounces all over the place, and it's proper usage varies every decade. Remember when it was "privilege plus power"?

When they can't rely on these terms, they fumble trying to explain and express their worldview. They treat these concepts as pretty sacred, even when they deconstruct everything else.
