Does Nietzsche give voice to every edgy teenager who ever was when he writes stuff like this? :
>I know my fate. There will come a day when my name will recall the memory of something frightful—a crisis the like of which has never been known on earth, the memory of the most profound clash of consciences and the passing of a sentence upon all that has before been believed in, demanded and sanctified. I am not a man, I am dynamite. And with it all there is nothing of the founder of a religion in me. Religions belong to the rabble; after coming into contact with religious people I always feel that I must wash my hands. I do not want "believers”, I think that I am too full of malice to believe even in myself; I never speak to masses. I have a terrible fear that one day I shall be considered "holy”. You will understand why I publish this book beforehand—it is to prevent people from wronging me. I refuse to be a saint; I would rather be a clown. Maybe I am a clown. I am nevertheless, or rather not nevertheless, the mouthpiece of truth
I find it entertaining how much I reading him transports me back to how I wrote when I was a teenager: moody, egotistical, yet also passionate and firmly self-assured.
Isn't it not also odd how Nietzsche's thinking also tend to be popular among disaffected youth?

>My destiny ordained that I should be the first decent human being and that I should feel myself opposed to the falsehood of millennia. I was the first to discover the truth and for the simple reason that I was the first who became conscious, to sense the lie as a lie. My genius lies in my nostrils. I contradict as no one has contradicted before and yet I am the very opposite to a negative spirit.

Yeah I feel ya. I wish I really hadn't read him when I was young because it just amped up my disaffection and let me use my feeling of intellectual superiority to wallow my in depression.
Of course weed did way more damage than Nietzsche. I'm happy to be past that stage

>I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.
This is edgy to you?

Nietzche was a dramatic guy, but totally genius. He saw clearly the path of culture and Western civilization and outlined the way out from nihilism and decadence. He's thoroughly misunderstood in that people assume him to be an advocate of nihilism, which he wasn't - but also was only insofar as he saw it as a way for humanity to take on its necessary suffering and transcend it. When you look at the hedonism and lack of virtue in the world around you, do you think he was wrong?

When you're a genius you get to be edgy.

Sure, it's all just self-referential after all.
