Quote:
twitter only serves to highlight the rampant narcissism and self-centeredness that plagues our generation. it much like reality television, myspace, and other such abominations of our technological age acts as a prop to uphold the illusory values and rampant materialisms that our society has come to prize. attention is grasped at desperately like some rare gem, as if it were the sole faculty by which one's worth as a person is determined. this mentality seems to suggest we dont even fucking exist unless we have someone regonize us or read our updates every day. such behaviors indicate a serious lack of identity; the person instead of striving to find themselves rather aimlessly scrambles to create some kind of self image through creating blogs, pages, with my music, my brands, my life, my pictures. a feeble attempt to preserve a fragile ego under the crushing weight of the truth that people are afraid to face :
YOU ARE NOT FUCKING IMPORTANT.

what you quoted kinda says the exact opposite of your argument.
