Do you think there could be a 21st Century Bukowski? Or do we have to wait until New Sincerity kicks in?

>Today, we seem effectively to be at the opposite point from the ideology of the 1960s: the mottos of spontaneity, creative self-expression, and so on, are taken over by the System; in other words, the old logic of the system reproducing itself through repressing and rigidly channeling the subject’s spontaneous impetuses is left behind. Nonalienated spontaneity, self-expression, self-realization, they all directly serve the system, which is why pitiless self-censorship is a sine qua non of emancipatory politics. Especially in the domain of poetic art, this means that one should totally reject any attitude of self-expression, of displaying one’s intimate turmoil, desires, and dreams. True art has nothing whatsoever to do with disgusting emotional exhibitionism—insofar as the standard notion of “poetic spirit” is the ability to display one’s intimate turmoil, what Vladimir Mayakovski said about himself with regard to his turn from personal poetry to political propaganda in verses (“I had to step on the throat of my muse”) is the constitutive gesture of a true poet. If there is a thing that provokes disgust in a true poet, it is the scene of a close friend opening up his heart, spilling out all the dirt of his inner life.

Yes, pretty much all shitty contemporary instagram poets are just like bukowski.
Funnily enough, Savannah is like Bukowski, but slightly better at times.
Bukowski is, for the most part, unreadable trash.

For typing this way
I have a friend who idolizes bukowski and aspires to be like him. The only problem is that he's stopped writing after receiving and huge sum of money after his dad passed away last year. All he does now is take drugs and blow money on Japanese video games while he "talks" about what a good writer he is.
modern literary culture is a direct result of writers like bukowski
