Meh. And of course you have the requisite American middle class white kids that pretend to understand foreign language art house pr--.
They usually come out of the woodwork when a pr-- graphically intense indie arthouse artsy fartsy movie comes out. They then accuse people who don't like this movie of "being afraid to take risks, not in touch with their dark side, not being attune to their psychopathic murderous tendencies, you are not a strong capable indie in charge of your own life," or some shit like that.
Just be honest. You don't have any clue what the eff is going on. And to be even more honest, you probably did become incredibly uncomfortable.
But you <do> want indie credibility. You desperately want to fit in with the goth or punk alternative cool crowd. Since mainstream youth culture has established that anything mainstream is inherently uncool, you want to be considered cool by the "truly" cool kids. You just want to sound cultured and world-class. You are trying too hard, desperately trying to seek approval from the ironical jaded alternative non-mainstream crowd.
You know what? I think it is time we stumbled upon a new truth. So, some background first. We all know that just because something is established and mainstream and popular and normal, doesn't automatically make it good, blah blah blah.
However, I think that now we have been witness to enough pop culture to make the following declaration. Now we can safely assert that just because something is counter-culture – *also* does not automatically mean it is good, either. Truth scabs, son.
