faux profundity

A prevalent issue in today's world is faux profundity. You see it in books, in media. In people you walk past and happen to overhear talking.

And it's always the same demographic, people with no life experience or very little at all,

exclaiming or professing things they don't understand. Followed by excessive cursing.

When you go out, you'll overhear loud grunted curse words and exclamations and misaligned theories of politics and the economy.

"F*ck" being a favorite word for many.

This is prevalent. It happens in books, movies and in real life.

Books, for example usually have curse words in their titles, or are shallow self help books that give the reader very little basis of meaning. The content usually has bad grammar, but you can't even say it's because English isn't their first language. But because they don't even know how to speak their own native tongue.

If English wasn't the main language it'd be forgivable.

We are advertized and fed Movies and series with people who have it all, still finding ways to ruin what they have, and it's promoted in these movies.

The trajectory of the movie gives a nice twist to what actually happens, to get the viewer to think that what the main character did was right after all. But it's not correct. It's not even excusable often times.

Classidential, explains in his review in a now old post on the movie The Notebook

"Now THAT, is a winning message for the youth."

And you can apply your logic to any modern movie or show and see exactly what I mean.

It's faux profundity sold to us as the divine but really it ruins our own lives when we emulate these things.
