What is a straightforward example of post-ironic literature?
When it comes to television, Million Dollar Extreme would be an example; it's somewhat sincerer humor that is distorted by exaggeration
Can't think of any equivalents in literature

I'm a bad poster. But to me being a good lurker is more important than being a good poster. Your post. That i can't get my head around. Your DFW. Now that's something i don't understand.

He had nothing to do with post-irony. It didn't exist then

No, that's simply called being unfunny.

I'd actually like Hyde to write some more real shit.
Some of his iPhone videos, and his fantano interview have a tiny peak.
Would be interested to see him really lay something out
His anger and bitterness are actually top quality, he awakens anger and bitterness in yourself you arnt supposed to have and let's you laugh at the fact you were keeping down what society told you to keep down.
Hyde is great catharsis at his best.
His issue is quality control is garbage. He can be very unfunny.

>His anger and bitterness are actually top quality
He has perfected the smug absurdist thinking that millenials possess due to him never growing out of it. He's a 30 year old man who makes content for 20 year old pseuds.
Deep internet brought with it a second form of puberty so between the ages of 18 to 22 you actually think post-ironic humor has some sort of inherent value rather than being lowbrow humor for stupid teenagers
>>
>>8584705
I'd say the point is millennials are running so hard from the fact they are all losers.
Even the ones with jobs are bitter and got fucked over
Hyde is able to point you where it hurts and it's funny to watch yourself squirm. It's funny because this huge retarded faggot had your number in an embarrassing way

If there is anything he opposes and satirizes, it is the postmodern-relativist-absurdist-hedonist ideology of society at large. How could anyone watch his vids and not pick up on this?

look at who he follows on twitter, Sam Hyde is full on fascist

>Sam Hyde (also Hide) is a historic or apocryphal character in the folklore of New England, used in the folk saying to lie like Sam Hyde.[1]
interesting, as MDE is from the New England area. Is 'Sam Hyde' a real person? the character 'Sam Hyde' is a dark trickster figure, reminiscent of Phillip K Dick's demonic comedians. the 90s slacker archetype evolved into an hypermedia demon mass murderer and Memetic shaman for the Alt-Right. (remember, totalitarian political movements often have ritual or even religious aspects.)
You really start to wonder what's their real goal, or who's behind it all. They somehow got a cable show while calling for race war and joking about killing politicians. MDE's ambiguous 'political' content recalls the methods of Limonov's National Bolsheviks in post-Soviet Russia. Is 'Sam Hyde' actually an advanced Russian Psy-Weapon in a mission to destabilize the united states through memetic warfare disguised as 'ironic' internet humor? He does look vaguely slavic or maybe central asian.

Fuck off, he looks like an ugly Anglo and has an ugly Anglo name to boot.

I think Sam is attractive desu. That being said, I heard someone say he was Jewish, which is a huge turnoff (pol fag here)

>>8586962
I really hope so. I heard he responds to most of his emails, so a few weeks ago I wrote him a serious letter about some political things and I'm hoping he responds.
>>
>>8586938
He's got a lot to say for a person who's most likely completely sheltered, though that's usually the case.
Experiencing the world through your screen is a bad way to form opinions, I'm not saying anecdotal evidence is better but he's like an infant preaching about world order, it's impossible for him to be right because he doesn't actually know anything about the world.

This, DFW is an excellent meme, a middling writer of fiction, and a terribly narrowminded critic

How does that make him urbane? anyone with some form of volition in life has done shit like this by the time they're 30
>>Couch surfed for years, was homeless for a while, friends homeless too, crashed in a drug dealers pad
Is this supposed to be impressive? there's a lot of people like this, especially college dropouts. This is the kind of "feat" that people who haven't graduated high school find impressive
>hand built a brand people love and that's gotten many people talking about
this is where he gets my respect
>Sam's lived a more full and rich life than the majority of lit users tb h
He's also older than the average /lit/ user.
Tell me when he's seen more of the world and experienced something outside of his own self obsession

Again, explain to me how Sam has lived a rich and exciting life that isn't just the basic college dropout experience? how dull does your life have to be to actually consider the shit you posted worthy of praise, what a fucking joke.
>>
>>8588054
You demand that people live rich, fascinating lives if they want to be taken seriously, as long as they disagree with you. You're so charmed by the "go outside" rebuttal that you introduce its cousin into places it barely fits. I'm sick of loud, sanctimonious hypocrites everywhere, and you're one.
>>
>>8587805
Quitting a safe job you dislike is more than many people would do in their entire life. Especially to focus on their own business or art, with no savings and no garuanttee anyone would support them in the process. Very very few people would do this, and end up succeeding to boot.
I'm not saying couch surfing and homelessness is impressive, in fact it's the opposite. But it didn't make him crawl back to the 9-5 life that depressed him so much. And he lived in that situation for years, sticking with MDE as his primary focus. Even fewer people would do this.
>older than the average lit user
Lol confirmed underage.
Look, what's your problem? You think you're suppose to be impressed? That's on you if you aren't, it's in your opinion what is or isn't impressive, I can't change that. All I did was try to prove Sam hasn't lived a sheltered, cushy life. Even his home life was marred with poverty, it's very obvious in his early videos. But backpacking and shit like that doesn't necessarily make you worldly, and being "worldly" isn't the only thing that should allow you an opinion on things that DIRECTLY AFFECT you and your country. Lol, I bet you're one of those types that think the voting pool should be limited to people who prove some arbritrary amount of worth.
What, do you just not like MDE? Do you not like his political views? Is this how you justify your attitude?
>self obsession
Anyone building a business or a brand, even working on a book does this. It's not obsession, it's focus and drive and spirit, if you didn't know that. He probably only succeeded because of this "obsession".
Jeez, I bet Ernest Hemingway is your favourite author. I bet you're impressed buy those pictures of him hunting lions and the stories of fucking boyish women. This didn't t make Hemingway any better or worse an author, nothing makes great artists great. It's not something you can just develop, sorry kid. If Sam was a hermit and never did anything or talk to anybody in his life and suddenly started making videos, they'd still be as funny and insightful as they are now.
