look for something edgy
actually get to know it
read about what it is, not what you originally wanted it to be
it has to be honest.

Distance is key. Make yourself independent of the work. Make the work an analysis of that edgyness rather than a statement of it.

The difference between good edgy and bad edgy is that bad edgy thinks what it's doing is cool. Good edgy thinks what it's doing is awful.
Approach what you're doing as "let's write something disturbing" instead of "hell yeah blood and shit and rape everywhere this is so hardcore"

be light on details.instead of writing about someone putting rats on a persons stomach and heating the pot with all the details just say "X happened". I like edgy so whatever
