Anonymous asked: what is your perception of the 'new sincerity' AKA everything by AD Jameson at HTMLGIANT?

seems like this is what you ‘mean’?

I’ve decided that, from now on, all I’m going to write about at this goddamned site is the goddamned thing. -ADJ

the most ‘interesting’ thing
about adj’s newsinism is the
‘opportunity’ to see a ‘dinosuar fight for relevance’

I imagine an ‘infinite’ school
where people ‘choose’
to ‘hang’ in ‘class’ instead of
‘experiencing things for themselves’

probably would give this

like a ‘12.6’ or something

I feel ‘really uncomfortable’ when you
go ‘out of your way’ to ‘compliment’
people you are ‘disagreeing with’
awkward
[[MORE]
this ‘direction’ of ‘critical thought’
seems ‘outdated’ and is no more than ‘opinion’
of the expiring ‘expert’:

“The NS is one major current literary focal point in the debate over what in writing counts as “ironic,” and what counts as “sincere.”…
Mind me well: this is not a debate over what is “genuinely” ironic or sincere (although some will mistake it for that),
but rather a debate over how those effects can be generated right now in literature.”

even the ‘language’ oozes ‘expert’:

“As everyone knows, the original New Sincerity (in poetry) was a “movement” started by Joseph Massey and Anthony Robinson and Andrew Mister c. 2005.  I put “movement” in quotes because although they wrote numerous manifestos and argued a lot with others about sincerity and what, in fact, they were doing, even they will insist that the NS was not a coherent thing. I get that…”

mebbe ADJ could keep going
he could write about this ‘forever’

seems very ‘boring’ to discuss
‘ephemeral’ tools instead of ‘something else’

if ‘lit’ is making ‘it’ new then ‘crit’
should be just as ‘fresh’
or it will ‘stay in school’
umm
that isn’t ‘cool’
in this case

if there must be an ‘ism’
seems more ‘important’
for each ‘person’ to build
their own ‘ism’ now that
we have ‘platforms’
to ‘exchange’
idk ‘what the point’ of ‘declaring movements’ really is
seems like everybody is ‘their own movement’

‘ism’ = dead

‘essay sentences’ = dumb

‘presonal system’ as ‘movement’ = ha

‘newsinism’ = dinosaur

I am ‘alt lit’

I deserve better ‘criticism’
