I'm losing hope that there will ever be a great zoomer novel. Literature might just be over. Where are the male zoomer writers trying to create bold new art, where are the zoomer intellectuals?
Could a zoomer male even get published in the current climate? Also, any zoomer intellectual would have been classically educated and consequently won't represent their generation.
>>25213855>where are the zoomer intellectualsvegetating on substack writing the trillionth essay on zoomer inter-sex relations
>>25213855I'll write one eventually. I need time alright. I got short form content to consume first
>>25213855Any "zoomer intellectual" capable of writing a masterpiece is smart enough to realize that nobody writes nor reads novels anymore (except for women and their smut.) They're making animations, games, comics, etc. instead.The only sort that would still be driven to write novels would be very weird and not represent what zoomers are.
>>25213855Literature is unc coded, Tik tok is the future
>>25213895>They're making animations, games, comics, etc. instead.Made me audibly chuckle.
>>25213855I wrote some zoomer short fic. here: >Dave spat out his boba, glistening tapioca balls scattering like sad wet grapeshot on the carpet.>“Bruh, it’s the real Freddy Five Nights” said Dave, algo-speakishly. John turned to look at him, but not in the eyes, because eye-contact is cringe, even in a life or death situation.>“Deadass we are going to be unalived here.” he murmured with a problematically queer-coded whimper. >Freddy Five Nights hoovered up an animatronic claw gripping his axe, his disgusting but oddly sexy voice issuing forth from the yellowed ranks of his flat teeth. >“IT’S FREDDIN’ TIME” he bellowed wheezily. He took one jerky step towards the kids, and then stopped to look straight into the camera.>“Hey everyone. It’s me, your favourite animatronic psycho-killer bear. I just wanted to take this moment to reflect and hold space on the fact that while I might be a child murderer and alleged pdf-file, I would never, and I mean EVER, say an ethnic slur. Trans rights are human rights. Free Palestine.”>Freddy swung his axe down and split Dave’s skull open like a melty piece of dubai chocolate. His brains splattered all over John’s face. >“Chat, are we cooked?” asked John. But there was no chat to hear him.
>>25213855I'd rather make a story driven video game
>>25213895>They're making animationsI think animator might be the only less prestigious, more thankless, less earning, in many ways more difficult, profession than author.Why do the retarded bother commenting?
Zoomer here. Very few people in my life read. One is an english lit student. The other only reads sci-fi.Literature is a dying art form - it is so uncommon that it is seen as performative to be reading in public: you couldn't possibly be reading for enjoyment, it must be to show women how intellectual you are. Zoomer girls read but its only romantasy 'minotaur milking farm' sloppa. The next great zoomer novel will unfortuantely probably be a visual/video game novel or a manga.
>>25214050being an animator works if you also make it a part of your social media grift. like if you are an animator and make some gay instagram reel of your "cool dark fantasy world" with trendy audio or something it will explode with views and likes. harder to do as an author as you cant aestheticize your commodity as well.
>>25214058That might be true but it's irrelevant to the OP. The next great contribution to literature isn't going to be written by any one trying to commodity max their social media grift.
>>25214075social media is the antithesis of literature. instead of carefully chosen words set down to be permanent, it's lazy misspelled half-baked thoughts designed to be transient.how much different would your opinion of Stephen King be if he never shat out one of his "thoughts" on twatter?
>>25214035What, no land acknowledgement? I didn't realize Freddy Five Nights was so colonialism-coded.
Humanity is done for. We are in lord of the rings middle earth. Islam will be chosen as the religion of the future where the masses will pray 5 times a day to mecca and sauron will be the AI that wins in the end. Zuckborg and the sauromen will merge technofeudalism with islam with transhumanism to create DUNE on earth. All books not the quran will be banished, the internet will delete all knowledge not the quran. The libraries will burn. The global desert peoples will wage endless war amongst each other to feed the global AI system and genocide the book writers and readers that have different opinions from that of muhammad.
>>25213895this. You have to trick normies into caring about the subtext by making the fronttext bombastic and marketable.Indie comics and manga do it well tbdesu. The thing is ,that normies actually yearn for substance in their media. They want what a novel has to offer, but they've been trained not to ever engage with something in the form of a novel and every other form of media kinda gave up and just turned full slop aside from a few exceptions.Look at Disco Elysium. It has a solid 6/10 writing, but normies ate that shit up because it's the only game in the last 15 years that bothered to put a somewhat literary story first and foremost.There is LE POLITIKZ but the front of it is the personal struggle of Harrier Dubois and people really engaged with it. A struggle with addiction, failed past romance and the political realities of a doomed world seems like something very /lit/-coded and it won game of the year 2019.Normies love qualityslop but you have to trick them into consooming.If you're a great writer, figure out how to most easily make your ideas into a vidyagame and you vill earn infinity dollars. Even rpggamemaker slop works.
>>25214053I don't see zoomers topping Saya no Uta or House of Fata Morgana. I believe you're, in zoomer parlance, cooked as a generation.
I would kinda love an indepth exploration of the zoomer paradigm.You're born into an uneqoivically evil world ran by pedophile cannibal elites, everry value of the past is either outright or subtly meaningless, and national identity no longer exist.I would love for someone to explore the meaninglessnes of a zoomer. Would be fun for example to tell like, a story of a zoomzoom chosen by God for some larger purpose who tries his best to achieve his mission but is gradually worn down, and the mission itself revealed to be meaningless in the full of modern context.
Zoomers are in our 20s, just wait some 10-30 years more and we'll be mature enough to write something decent. Your only option now is to read wattpad novels made by pervert female zoomers
That's it. I gotta ask. Is the thumbnail supposed to look like he is performing autofellatio?
>>25213855My novel is releasing in a few weeks (it can be pre-ordered and everything) and it aspires to the level of ambition if nothing else. Self-pub is the only way to go for any work with serious ambition. All us zoomers who actually liked books growing up are either going through self-publishing or applying their writing to other mediums like vidya.
>>25214174I think any serious reader of literature who picked up King's books had the sense that he was a hack. Twitter just exposed the political dimension of his hackiness.
>>25213855Did we even have a millennial great novel?
>>25214389yes
>>25214389Sally Rooney I guess.
>>25214389What was the great gen x novel either?
>>25214389I must have missed it too.
>>25214451salley rooney is so fucking bad dude, if any millenial drops a novel that's not ass it will be tony thallitimutt or whatever, about to right private citizens as soon as i finish this bad rooney novel
>>25214533infinite jest duh
>>25214556read*
>>25214187Erm, yikes! called the fuck out. Sorry about that anon, I'm doing the work, I'm holding space on it, and I'm trying to be a Decent Person. I apologize to those who continue to be impacted by the white male colonial violence of the cis hetereo-patriarchal youth-lit industrial complex.
>>25213855I dont think there is a lack of good gen z writers, but rather an audience for them to direct to.
>>25213855>destroy society for zoomers >socially engineer zoomers to be empty husks of individuals >box them out of all of the institutions and give them zero opportunities >wonder why they don’t produce anything through institutionalized means.
>>25213855I will write the great zoomer novel, but it'll take me until 2045 to write it, sorry. It's going to be about an incestuous threesome, look forward to it.
Zoomers are old news, we're now waiting for the great gen alpha novel.
>>25214196>6/10 writingNever played it but from all the screens I’ve seen posted you’re being too kind. It’s like 4/10.
>>25214201Saya no Uta is great, Fata Morgana is gay. It’s YA romance that was either awfully written, awfully translated, or both.Jacopo is pretty fucking cool though.
>>25214638a boy and two girls or will i have to skip it?
>>25214643gen alpha finna be cooked, bruh!
>>25214558Technically, DFW is a young boomer. ‘62 is pretty late in the baby boomer birth timeframe.
>>25214654one boy and girl blood related one step sister from their mothers remarriage
>>25214656 Alphoids are so anti intellectual it’s actually based. Zoomers are like that in a way they think somehow makes them superior, these niggers are just based retards and couldn’t care either way.
>>25214659idk maybe the corrections then? it's not greeaaat but it's good enough
>>25214660okay if im still around in 2045 i will give it a shot
>>25214660add the mother and make it multigenerational incest
>>25214556Why is Tony shilled so heavily on this board? He's a pretty middling MFA writer.
>>25214656Yeah, this is just the usual bullshit post redditors generate by the bushel. It's a forum for liars to cater to each other's sense of righteous indignation.
>>25214663DFW is proto Gen X anyway. IJ concerns Gen Xers and has that same pomo ennui typical of them. I’m just being pedantic.
>>25214389No, but they have at least produced popular writers that made an impact in the culture somewhat. So far, the crowning achievement of zoomers is AI memes mocking Charlie Kirk.
>>25214656Is this teacher retarded? Got his kids to read BNW and then gets surprised when he gets dystopias instead of utopias?
zoom zooms were raised by iphones and never saw pre-9/11 America. their whole existence has been a manufactured CIA psy-op from the beginning. they never had a chance.
