“You are in the age of love.” Unexpected poetry by @b0nezone (slide 1), @shanaleehampton (slide 2), @chthonic__youth (slide 3), @sweetrelease08 (slide 4), and jon.januhowski (slide 5).

Poetry can existed as disjointed or non-linear. It can exist without context. It can be enhanced by its lack of context.

Image description: Slide 1 — a sketch of a dragon ball z style character in a white shirt and red tie has the words, “I can’t explain what I’m thinking” and he is pointing towards words. “Truth” sits at the top outlined in a square underneath, in this order, are words in ovals “Image” then “Clay” and “Plastic,” then, “Necessity,” “Desperation,” and “Obligation,” then “Impetus,” then (in a circle) “Self”. Slide 2 — Words are stitched on a piece of fabric and stapled to a wooden post. They read “Be careful with each other so you can be dangerous together.” “Be careful” and “be dangerous together” are stitched in red instead of black. Slide 3 — A diagram with words and lines. At the top is “spectacle” and from here are lines labeled abnormality, devotion, norm suspension, collapse, power, competition, violence, wealth, and identity.”
They lead to the end of the lines labeled:
circus (from: abnormality)
carnival (from: norm suspension)
ceremony (from: power)
luxury (from: wealth)
sport (from: competition)
ritual (from: devotion)
disaster porn (from: collapse)
identity theater (from: identity)
bloodsport (from: violence)
Slide 4 — a cheeky still-life bananas on a shell shaped porcelain plate, one banana opened and half/eaten, and a hand cream under the bananas. Atop this photo, in white text are the words, “- you are twenty
-you are meant to waste that time
-you are in the age of love
-you have not read “intercourse” by andrea dworkin.”
Slide 5 — a photo of a rectangular sign at night from a vehicle. On the sign is written: “BE PREPARED TO SHOW IDENTIFICATION AND MANIFEST.”

One of the more interesting cultural arcs over the last 10 years has been the negative portrayal of alcohol and partying.

Gen Z are drinking significantly less than any other generation, and the popularity of smart phones and surveillance technology has created an anxiety around acting like a twat that we simply didn’t used to have.

Combine this with bro-optimisation and cold-plunge culture, and the equation for young people is that the positives don’t outweigh the negatives.

However I’ve been sensing a cultural shift back towards seeing partying as a positive way to build a fulfilling, interesting life. Driven by economic nihilism (what are we optimising for?) and a rejection of health-lords as gatekeepers for how we should live our lives.

There’s also something to be said for social media giving an incredibly skewed perception of how people generally live their lives. The most interesting person you’ll ever meet over a pint is successful, happy and doesn’t use social media - but they’ll never show up in the discourse.

A poll by @emilysundberg on professionals in NYC found that 28% of people go out 5+ nights a week (!!!)

So my question to you, is the party over?
