Derivative is not bad, it’s simply a matter of fact. Our creations and ideas are based off that which inspires us. Things don’t need to be unique or revolutionary to be enjoyable and that’s the most important quality, that we enjoy what we consume.

Bougie shit is that which takes itself too seriously. Its a teacher going on about the meaning in a book the writer says was never intended to be anything more than an enjoyable story, the critic raving about the depth of a jar filled with piss and a crucifix inside of it, the stage performer that thinks themselves better than the garage band made up of 2 kids and an old laptop, the Scorsese‘s going on about how their film is better than a Nolan and raging people aren’t watching his shit,etc.

It’s the part of art that isn’t creativity, but self wankery.
