Maybe this relates to how the west seems to consider the highest form of self-actualization to be triumph over adversity. It makes up the core narrative structures of western literature. It defines the core story arc show on television. I wasn't at all surprised all those years ago when Lana Del Ray affected this faux veneer of 'prom queen goes melancholy'. It's existed forever, it's just broken mainstream now.

- kizer 4y agoPersonally I'd like to see more of the triumphing and less of the "shock appeal" adversity in much modern media.
