Your binary only really allows for the author to like "modern" (which should really be called "modernism" to accentuate its aesthetic name), or be depressed. But they could a) think it's ugly and b) responsible for the sense of alienation or discontent. They might believe that the aesthetic makes life worse without their life being depressingly bad, for instance.
- openplatypus 4y agoMy binary response is to the absolutist tone of “everything” is ugly. Not everything is ugly. Some buildings are ugly. Some are not ugly, but simply cheap. I don't like a lot of stuff in my city. I am not calling it ugly.
