      Okay we've gotten rid of irony culture and all we have left is Steven Universe and the collected works of David Sedaris https://twitter.com/fujoshidile/status/1255592176127553537 …

      He doesn't -sound- too terrible, but I don't do NPR and never read his stuff. Why is he terrible?

      This is probably why I have not encountered this "New Sincerity" stuff. That and my devotion to genre fiction.

      This old essay kind of captures my issues with Sedaris' writing style and the idea of being "anti-irony"https://gawker.com/on-smarm-1476594977 …

      The funny thing is this piece cites David Foster Wallace's cruise essay as a piece of great writing the New Sincerity never could've created but DFW helped *start* that movement with his E Unibus Pluram essay about TV ruining culture

      I dunno, I don't think the divide he's talking about is nearly as sharp as he claims Every snarky satirist has something they very fervently and earnestly believe in that they'll give you hell for mocking

          I mean in this specific case I know (casually) one of the people in the quoted mention and in my experience they're extremely decent 🤷‍♂️

          I'm not terribly surprised, since snark is *also* effectively an attempt to pull authority and demolish criticism by making something sincere ridiculous and position the snarker as a morally superior enlightened being.
