Ayesha: It’s very off-putting to watch adults behave like children and have it sold to you as a way of living more authentically. It’s unwholesome whimsy. The stakes are still adult while the antics aren't just accidentally immature but intentionally so. As if everyone else has life wrong for not indulging white people who've found a more niche way of living without care towards others. Mumblecore characters endlessly explore their conviction that they’re more authentically individual. As if Americans needed to come up with another way of being aggressively self-centered. It’s one thing to be boring; it’s another thing to create propaganda for living a life that requires a lot of others, but insists all it can give is...an identity performance.
