Not really. The kind of vocabulary stupid white american cucks use will be reflected on the literary works this generation produces. Even more because America is the mediatic center of the world and, quite honestly, the country with the worst kinds of cultural trends.

Haiti, North Korea, Equatorial Guinea, and Venezuela all have worse cultural trends than (the United States of) America, in whatever sense of the phrase applies to your usage. Yes, even now, even today.

But obviously of course you were confining your attention to "relevant" countries, or somesuch, whatever needs to be done to amend your story. Or to future literature, or somesuch. Yes, that was clear

>>8060871

Maybe this is true for every generation, but it sure feels like most political words have lost all their meaning.

Equality - Just a buzzword at this point, means nothing. It is never specified what kind of equality they want, be it of opportunity or outcome. It's come to the point where "equality" equals good and "inequality" equals bad.
Racism - Again this means fucking nothing, nobody can even define what it means anymore.
Fascism - Basically just means "something I don't like"

This is probably going to sound really insensitive, but I feel like words such as "abuse" have become almost meaningless over time. I'll see people asking things like "I think I was abused, but not really sure....?". And the term "emotional abuse" is overused, seems to mean almost any instance where someone got their feelings hurt. I think the word "abuse" should be avoided whenever possible, because fresher, more accurate language can almost always be used.

Also: "assault". It's pretty much always been misused, but today the term feels utterly meaningless.
>>
>>8061294

This pisses me off the most, because the media embraces these terms in order to seem hip. We all know phenomenon like selfies are retarded, and yet they're embraced by the shameless media and journalists anyway.

What I hate is that a lot of these terms start out as being ironic, before eventually being embraced.

Yeah because society is a joke. Just look at the presidential elections, its all memes and jokes, no real politics. A lot of the jokes, ironic sayings, and memes that are posted online start to gain traction in reality. The line between online and reality is quickly being blurred and the media is only making it worse.

I like vernacular a lot. It is a good word and I wish I heard it more often. The only time I ever read it was some guy posting an image of a disgusted bobby hill saying get with the vernacular and integrate outlander.

The only thing I encounter that annoys me is when people use 'OK' instead of 'Ok', 'ok' or 'okay'.

OK (or O.K.) looks very passive aggressive, if not sarcastic, in almost any sentence. OK?

they're convinced that whenever one out of a hundred thousand bimbos at a music festival wears a bindi that everyone is doing it, or that every heroin addict who adds a sitar to his song is doing a great harm and rendering invisible a culture with literally 1,000,000,000 members on the planet right now

Black culture is actually pretty large. They've made or influenced almost all modern popular music genres (jazz, rap, blues, pop, rock), have literature, and even art. Still, they seem at times lost in limbo with the way some romanticize Africa, the violence that they use against each other, and which has been used against them. Identity politics is probably the worst thing that happened to minorities, because it gave them a place in society as victims, instead of encouraging them to improve their communities. And in the meantime real victims of racism fall by the wayside, with efforts to improve the community destroyed by outsiders (assassination of civil rights leaders, etc). Maybe one day it will get figured out and black people will have a culture removed from the vapid neoliberal deathcult of modern America, but I doubt it.

I hate phrases mostly like
>I can't even.
>This. So Much This.
>Like, Can you not.
>Fuck you (as an argument.)

Fuck you as an argument really bothers me the most, because it started as a joke, and now everyone does it all the time.
Fuck you culture.

You don't get it.

It's a direct threat of a complete loss of interest.

Not the phrase's fault if everybody uses it wrong.
