Generic people worshiping some 'ballsy' older NY woman who repeats what every comedian or writer or person ever has said about New York already. A rich woman that lives in Chelsea and in a bubble of the rich and famous, telling us people what NY is about. And generic audiences gladly paying to sit in a stool to worship her, hoping to get accepted in that elite bubble. Sad state of affairs.
I can get more out of a few lines of 'The Message' if we're talking old NY. Or I can watch Scorcece's material before he became completely swallowed by the snob culture gang. Or '80 Blocks from Tiffany's ..the list goes on.
And for the new NY, id rather watch Louis CK tv show which is infinitely more creative with depicting the city. Or certain (skate)vids on youtube.
It will tell me so much more than this woman who seems to be a cliché hyperbole of herself living supersafe, yet the only thing that gives her an identity is living in ny.
NY is a city that has been gentrified to bits, and exploited and filtered from all that was raw and authentic. Sorry , I know (mostly privileged) ny'ers think its edgy to be from NY and its a huge part of your made up identity, but its all so void. So void of any substance. It's circle jerking at max to keep the lie alive. Same is happening to Amsterdam, same is happening to Berlin, to all big cities. It's all pimped out, and what's remnant are the echo's of what once was authentic. What stayed raw is being pushed out, and at the same time being looked down upon.
This whole thing is just super sad, and made me depressed.
Shame on you.
