Is /lit/ the Lost Generation v.2? Will the /lit/ generation be

/lit/ is talent less losers killing time on a forum dedicated to "literature" which is vague enough to become whatever the loser wants it to be, a patrician institution of written word and scientific knowledge, an aesthetic device to demonstrate sophistication, an escapist form of mental masturbation, or a combination of all these and more.


there is no deeper meaning here. even in this post into which I must now insert some self aware platitude about how I am either part of or immune to the condition I just described in order to ward off inevitable criticism.

>using big words

As my guy say, no.

Well, I plan on being a great writer. I think I'm on my way, too. I don't know about the rest of you fuckers.

provide proof

>the /lit/ generation
There is no /lit/ generation. There is no /lit/. This is a small fringe of a counter culture community obsessed with certain repetitive topics.

I was going to expound on this point further but I just read >>9406668 and that post already says pretty much everything you need to know. You're not important. You're not significant. You won't change the future. If you do, it will be in a context separate from /lit/. The only board with half a chance at having some sort of cultural impact right now is /pol/, make of that what you will.

The proof is in his post. Anon only says that he "plans" and "thinks," not that he is.

I've gotten a few short stories published, and I do write quite a bit. I won't link to any of the short stories because I'm nervous about being associated with 4chan so early in my career, but I am moving forward, or trying.

Keep at it, anon. FWIW, I would only worry about being associated with 4chan if you're aiming for an academic life. Once you get out of academic circles, people care less about whether or not you have browsed/posted in 'the internet hate machine.'

I posted an essay a while back making the case that millennials are the new lost generation. It was fairly convincing. I'll see if I can find it
