I get it. It ain’t making me feel, but I get it.

Woah. So good.

Hi, I'm here to make you as visible as I can (which is very little) so people might notice this!

Funny how any basic symbolism is deemed "edgy" in the comments. We all know you're too cool for school. Let the rest of us enjoy nice pics.
DeeDoubleYu
I love the irony that this is anti-modern/anti-internet etc, but the artist knows it'l get more hits if there's nudes in it.

I don't get how these are edgy? How many snowflakes do we have here?

hey I don't get the one with the guy singing and his face is a mirror
dabbleganger
The way I saw it is it's supposed to be like a Kurt Cobain type, who was the "voice of his generation" and a reflection of his youthful fans
ShoCal003
My best guess is that he's reflecting what he sees in his life though singing? Is hard to make out but it looks pretty apocalyptic

Of all of them it was my favorite

I think it's a commentary of art being a reflection of society.

The whole "shackled to the dollar" is stupid and played out. Yes, it turns out you need to earn money to survive. Get over it.

For some, money is a constant struggle though... if you have to work constantly just to eat and support a family, the metaphor works

You don't understand these drawings are actually a REALLY profound statement about how money is bad, technology is bad, everything is bad

I dunno, guys. Maybe they don't need to be interpreted as a breakthrough commentary, but maybe like how a song communicates sadness or /
Ben1045
loneliness or heartbreak the writer feels despite being not the first one to feel it. You could still say they're trying too hard, I'd agree

Shouldn't she be climbing over dicks to get to the cash, I mean that's the reward.

I thought so too, but then I saw it from the man's perspective, like each dollar he spends on her gets him closer to sleeping with her

I love when people use edgy as an insult and can't appreciate the cartoons for what they're worth. Welcome to Imgur!
jghaverty8888
These are daddy issues in pen and paper. It's contrived and overly stilted. The quality is good. The message is repetitive and boring.
ImUglyIRL
Merci, Leonardo!
septillion
people are being sarcastic. They're saying this isn't edgy, because all of its ideas are really obvious. or just stupid (like the last one).
shhep
I can't appreciate a cartoon when it tries to bash me over the head with shit as dumb as "y'all prisoners to money or tech".
ImUglyIRL
Is it not inherently true, though....? Nobody has common sense anymore and half of the US political system is corrupt due to money. ¯\_(ツ)_/
shhep
It is inherently true about literally every single period of human history, which makes those comics inane and pathetic. Before phones we
shhep
had cameras and guess what, people still shot selfies and porn on daguerrotype. Or painted them. Or wrote bout them. Same for money.
johnzaku
I get where these are going, but I really dislike (and disagree) with the cynicism. They make a point, a valid one even, but damn .

I think that’s a mirror but lack of pixels makes that one unclear...
derscur
Agreed. People think they're insightful for "getting it" yet ignore the messages. Pretty ironic to me.
Denvercoder09
Like the money kept you a prisoner thing. Like I need money to eat and live....
catwilsonaz
Exactly. We are slaves to money because our society has made it almost impossible to live without it.
deltajesus
Any society, not just ours. If we weren't slaves to money we'd be slaves to however the fuck else we get food.
sombrerohorsewagon
I liked the one with education pulling them up as people tried to drag them down. Not really understanding the hate on these...

Took that as a pencil aka free speech
saltysasquatch
Same, and/or art.
igniteice
People think they are intellectually superior when they say "I already knew this shit!" Yeah, no one cares, just enjoy the fucking art
FoxySpirit
That's a pencil, which stands for art normally.

Every week we also get a gallery of "Nature scary AF!" with animals eating each other. No one says "Yawn, trite photographers try harding"
Gosuamakenatek
I think it's because they're about as subtle as a train colliding with a cargo ship.
PandraPierva
^Ding. Also a good chunk of these are just annoyingly pretentious
DevonGronka
It's artists pretending to be deep by acknowledging what is pretty much common knowledge
Booooooiqqqq
Does anyone over the age of 20 “try” to be deep?
Nanoline
Consider the current US President, and tell me again about some of these being common knowledge.
Sutashi
Right? It's like a bag of peanuts w/ a warning that it contains nuts. Just because it's obvious doesn't mean it should never be said...

There's always at least one person who doesn't know or get it.

First time seeing these. Made for a good discussion over coffee with my girlfriend this morning. Please take this +1 and my thanks.
BecauseCows
Hello, just wanted to tell you that you and your gf seem way more fun than anyone else commenting here. So cheers to you two.
Fishammer
Thanks. She has a masters in fine art and another in ceramics. I, on the other hand, have zero art education.
Fishammer
Our discussion turned to the difference of expression in mediums, how drawing, photography and other visual arts not only showcase a skill
Fishammer
But also become a platform for sharing ideas and opinions. In both of our arts, it’s about the crafts we do. Looking at her work or mine
Fishammer
You might learn a little of who we are and our values, maybe, but nothing as revealing as these drawings would suggest of the artist.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
Are you 14
Fishammer
No. I’m 42. As much as I appreciate art, especially art that is thought provoking like these works are, I don’t know much about it.
Fishammer
Do you know who the artist is?
BecauseCows
Al Margen. Someone down below in the comments knew it.
Fishammer
Thanks
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
No I don't, but this isn't thought provoking. This is shallow edgy bullshit. You'd like r/im14andthisisdeep
Fishammer
Huh. Our discussion about this work was about the artist’s need to decry his opinions about the world in such an obvious way.

Well lucky for you his response was not verbatim, per your quotes. So it's ok, right?

Its the same generic trite shit we've seen a thousand times.
jetflight
Because this is trite, worthless drivel that only edgy teenagers find "thought-provoking" and "deep". I guess you're one of them.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Or are you, he who would trash talk another who is having their horizons expanded - not everything is obvious to everyone.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Everyone always has a first time that they learn something, and sometimes it's long after you have learned it. Maybe they're young, or old
asm80dfa8sdfj
but age doesn't really care; as you age, you don't just inherently learn things. You have to be exposed to them.
KootchieKoo
Damn dude...I'm 46 & just glad to see art that's not cats, comics or unicorns. That's a lotta hate.
asm80dfa8sdfj
It cracks me up that so many people responded with the same comment, even using the same word to describe it. Sheep calling sheep "sheep".
AlkeneThiol
This is like the epitome of trite. There is no better word for it. When a word fits, a word fits.
asm80dfa8sdfj
You don't think banal is a better word? Or vapid?

BishlamekGurpgork
I think this work shows a lot of depth. I'm sad that people see things like this and mock it, instead of deciding to do better or be better.
Smajdalf
This is not thought provoking in any aspect. It is very unimaginative and ham-fisted.
Someguy3239
The issue is this isn’t new or unique in the slightest, and brings nothing additional to the table. Same message different title.
EccentricNimoy
If it's nothing new, and not worth time why do people feel the need to keep bringing it up? Because they are concepts needing more action.
Someguy3239
I didn’t say it isn’t worth the time. This just doesn’t propose anything that isn’t already known beforehand.
EccentricNimoy
I just think it's sad, the representation of the ideas behind the images is so reviled as if it means the good fight is lost.
GuyPrice
This just tickles your ego, makes you think "I get it, I'm so much smarter than the average person!" no you're not you stupid little shit.
BishlamekGurpgork
No. I don't think this is supposed to be hard to get. The message is really clear. It's not trying to be subtle, it's trying to push your
BishlamekGurpgork
face into ideas that most people try very hard to ignore.
GuyPrice
It's not hard to get so an average person can get it and still think it's smarter and more woke than an average person.
BishlamekGurpgork
I think they just want people to think about what they usually bury, and to do that it can't be subtle and coy with vague symbolism. It's
