So I had this discussion with my friend the other day. It started with:
"Jesus, you're so cliche!"
"So?"
'It's fuckign stupid"
"Eh, I like what I like. It it fits some cookie cutter mold someone else has given me, fuck them for worrying about it"
and went from there. I tried talking to her about her cliche faux-brit-ness, but then I realized I didn't care. Everyone is fucking cliche because right now everything you see, hear, and smell is recycled from something way back when or from some other culture.
Does "being original" even exist anymore? Do you care if you fit a cliche mold and/or go out of your way to not be like that? Does that make you just as bad as trying to be the cliche?
As a time-traveler from the future, my style isn't scheduled to become cliche until the year 4000. But by that time, the word "cliche" will be replaced by the word "oomph!" as per the Kick Holy-er than Thou Scene Critics in the Nuts law of 3097.
