"Marilyn Manson used to be the most shocking thing that anyone had ever seen. But now, that's just what the average hyperpop artist looks like" There are people who look more shocking than marilyn manson at my local walmart...
Literally exactly what I thought lmao. Narcissism doesn't mean you're a narcissist either, everyone has narcissistic behavior. Trying to be better or stand out from everyone else out of vanity is rooted in an insecurity in yourself and your identity. Which most narcissistic behavior is. One thing to keep in mind, alternative people are often dressing to go against an oppressive societal expectation or to have solidarity in a subculture, not to be special. Though many people take it as such. If you would still dress how you do and enjoy what you do even if a billion other people did it, you're in the green.
@@fungustheclown666 i’m my whole self i’m not looking for attention i just have artistic fashion style and art that is considered “demonic” yes i would wear a scary mask in public because i like it not for social exceptance it’s my fashion.
It’s worse when you have to pause because you realized how “I’m so quirky look at me!!!” you’ve been acting without even thinking about it Makes me wanna kill myself every time
Lol thats a coping mechanism tryna act like theres not movies wity just one person in it the whole time lol just say your normal and not mentally ill and or interesting
I mean… yeah, it’s either one way or the other. If you try to be a main character and categorize everyone else as “NPC’S”, then that’s just narcissism… ya feel me?
There's no main character but we're always the protagonist,I mean everything went thru our perception and every choice was made by ourselves and matter.
The people who call other people “NPC’s” are more like these “NPC’s” they think they are insulting. It’s like people can’t fathom that other people have different worldviews and ways of thinking. It’s basically the modern day version of grown people thinking that the entire world and society revolve around themselves.
This video was cathartic. I appreciate you for taking a thoughtful look at this topic, and even creating opportunities for productive introspection. Thank you for making this video.
Soon enough, to be an NPC will be the most unique thing possible, and to reject influencer culture and live on a farm in the mountains, while listening to music and wearing clothes you actually like will be the greatest thing you could aspire to.
Growing out of being a teenager and now being a young adult, I’ve come to realize there really isn’t anything wrong liking/loving popular stuff. At first I was ignoring more mainstream stuff, but sometimes the reason that stuff is mainstream is warranted! (Also it was so sad how people would judge people for liking something popular!) I didn’t like Billie Eilish at first, but then when I gave some songs a try, I resonated with a lot of the lyrics and enjoyed the music her brother created, so I just decided to keep listening. That finally let me let go of what others think of me and just enjoy any media I came across. Popular or not.
This video seems more like a critique on tik toc/social media and how they push insecurities in people, which in turn gives them narcissistic behaviours more than it is an analysis on "main character syndrome." Which isnt really addressed.
Each of us the main character. The antagonists were the millions of sperm you raced against. If you exist, you won. Your life is the sequel. Choose how it will end Good luck 🤞
I can't believe the amount of kids on the internet that feel special for listening to music cause the algorithm told them to, ironically they all end up listening to the same shit, i have an advise for y'all: GO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO REAL PEOPLE
I really loved this video guys, especially because this type of thinking segways into emotional and humanitarian discourse-- something that's very important right now. I've done some research on nostalgia as a driving force of change in the contemporary world, and everything seems to point to the idea that globalization and the increase of homogeny in media has created a push against itself, so although nostalgia is the child of globalization (and particularly westernization), it is in direction opposition of it! Keep it up!

Thats the reason i deleted tik tok and apps like instagram, i literally don't know who i am, idk if the music i listen is what i really enjoy, or the clothes i wear, etc, i just created a character of who i would like to be, but now im alone and not cool as i thought i was. (The worst part is that idk how to fix it, so i just deleted what made me this way and hope that would work)
I think the biggest issue of main character syndrome isn't being celf centered - thats okay to an extent. I think the biggest issue is just the risk of no longer thinking of others as human beings. Your coworker at subway is just as much a person as you, even if you don't see them.
Absolutely. But communities back then were so much nicer and sincere. Fandom especially had a staying power that is lacking these days. Trends just come and go these days. It took a certain kind of passion to discover music and other hobbies back then. Really had to dig.
Sure it wasn't. It was just more conducive to social interaction. There is no reason for people to be using websites of billions of users driven by reccommendation algorithms. The only reason people use them is because everyone else does. The only reason algorithms are in place is to increase the time a person spends on the site so they can sell more ads. It's glorified TV.
(sorry for a not-too-great english) this is a really good video about the narcissism that is uncontrollably spreading among all the kids. just the really basic fact that everybody can be whatever they want it's just an excuse to make people feel valid about what they like, do, feel etc. and, in most of the cases, result in what the video tells: feeling a "main character". it's inherently true the fact that us humans want to stand out and feel different from the others, but we're giving all this shit to people whose intelligent quotient is so low they can scroll hours and hours everyday on tiktok and still say they satisfied with their lives. we basically giving voice to people whose voice doesn't really mean nothing but obvious things, but they are spreaded like the absolute truth life needs in order to understand its meaning. it was very interesting, and i hope i can see more of that! :D
i kind of just accepted my inability to be meaningfully impactful early on in life. probably a sign of my low tenacity but thats an issue between me and the therapist i dont have.

Genuinely miss old internet interactions. You could go onto a forum, interact with your fellow weirdos about your favorite niche topic then hop onto another forum and interact with other weirdos over a different topic. everyone was anonymous, our conversations were over text chats with stupid names. now? nobody's anonymous, everybody is public, you are seen as sketchy if not. you must build a personal brand, you cant just be you. What used to be a great form of escape and a tool to find likeminded people is now a tool keeping you in a depressing continuous cycle of engaging with constant doomscrolling. Perpetually keeping you depressed. pure sludge and slop all the way through. it's awful
The difference I’d say is old internet interactions were more 1 to 1 or 1 to a few. Now they’re 1 to a million. It’s broadcasting and it creates performative discourse.
Finally a comment that doesn’t make me lose brain cells. There’s no sense of community with how social media is structured, I’ve seen how classmates care way too much about “personal branding” and trying way too hard to stand out whilst also not standing out at all because of how inauthentic they are. That’s what the video is trying to say with layers of irony, but this video is mainly being watched by younger gen z kids who don’t really get it.
Exactly, thank you for this. I remembered when I jumped from forum to forum and it felt so private and connected. Now It feels impersonal, empty and dry. People used to be genuine, now you gotta sell yourself and become a representation of the stale shallow company like personality in order to “fit in”.
I’d like to think we are all the protagonists of our own stories. Since stories revolve around the main characters goals, journeys and interactions with others who are main characters of the protagonist’s world. Example: My friends are the deuteragonists/main characters of my world; meanwhile, my classmates are the supporting characters; and the customers going to my job are the NPCs in my world. But according to those customers, I’m just another NPC working at a store they like to go to occasionally.
To everyone saying they’re the main character, I wanna lyk that ur living in my world and as soon as I die the entire universe will collapse in on itself.
6:49 no, things were that way before the internet too. People had their niches, subcultures, groups, etc. If you were with one, you may have been rejected by another for not being "in" enough. If you liked a certain thing, you may have been perceived as "cooler".
I was introduced to NMH by a man named Kyle. No joke. It is now my favorite band because of emotional ties and sentimentality. That and im a huge fucking nerd for complex musical composition and lyricism. I also hate me. Its okay.
Someone liked my comment so I want to elaborate on it, don't fucking stress about what others may think of your taste in anything. You don't need to justify yourself to anyone. If you like the music you like the music and that's the only thing that matters. Life is too short to be worrying about what others may think.
The old internet is still there. If you engage with this, you choose to engage with it. The internet augments real life in a way that can be instantly and immediately detached from at any time.
I'm so far from being a normie that it makes me an npc. A glitchy npc that was never supposed to be in the game but you can sometimes see due to a bug.
Ironically if you doesnt give a damn and just live your life, that makes you less of a NPC, rather than being a try hard and always be "cool" and "not like others"
I always had a feeling that I was naturally gonna be someone important someday so I never have to worry about anything it’s peaceful but daunting and scary bc I don’t know what todo ever and I’m paralyzed by stress but it’s so nice that I’m gonna be rich
My favorite is when you meet someone in the wild that’s flying all kinds of flags that show they’re into the same things as you (tattoos, shirts merch) But when you try to make conversation about it they look at you like a crazy person.
most ppl i find aesthetically pleasent /cool tend to be completely empty personality wise which is lowkey a bummer. My guess is that since the internet has made everything so available for everyone, most guys n gals just buy the look without putting the "work" in. I'm not saying that you gotta know every single bit of niche lore about barcelona if you wanna wear a jersey or the entire idk korn discography but DAMN just research the bare minimum

If you like the music you like the music and that's the only thing that matters. Life is too short to be worrying about what others may think.
"You're putting Nico and Rico back to back on the playlist" got me
Man this video is like fresh air in this stinky room called internet. I don't even have this syndrome, i just enjoyed watching this
this is awful
@@jameson1465 don't watch then lol
when everyone is special, no one is
2:20 no way you just pulled up idog
This is literally the message of The Lego Movie, which is the greatest movie ever so
The old internet is still there. If you engage with this, you choose to engage with it. The internet augments real life in a way that can be instantly and immediately detached from at any time.
maybe the real main character syndrome were the friends we made along the way

Damn this video is goated. I was expecting more rage bait ngl.
I'm so far from being a normie that it makes me an npc. A glitchy npc that was never supposed to be in the game but you can sometimes see due to a bug.
Ironically if you doesnt give a damn and just live your life, that makes you less of a NPC, rather than being a try hard and always be "cool" and "not like others"
This feels like the hipster culture making a comeback lol
This video?
I always had a feeling that I was naturally gonna be someone important someday so I never have to worry about anything it’s peaceful but daunting and scary bc I don’t know what todo ever and I’m paralyzed by stress but it’s so nice that I’m gonna be rich
Good luck getting anything out of thin air. On this economy lmfao
IM NOTHING LIKE YALL 😂😂🐟🐟
On me 😂🐟↗️
It’s fucking concerning how many of these albums that I’ve seen I have listened to LMAO Nick Drake being there god damn bro 😂
"theres no such thing as MCs and NPCs, everyone is a unique individual in their own way." - every npc ever
😂😂😂😂 best comment
Thank you for this truly inspirational talk.
im nothing like you guys. because im a loser not the main character
Same😢
My favorite is when you meet someone in the wild that’s flying all kinds of flags that show they’re into the same things as you (tattoos, shirts merch) But when you try to make conversation about it they look at you like a crazy person.
most ppl i find aesthetically pleasent /cool tend to be completely empty personality wise which is lowkey a bummer. My guess is that since the internet has made everything so available for everyone, most guys n gals just buy the look without putting the "work" in. I'm not saying that you gotta know every single bit of niche lore about barcelona if you wanna wear a jersey or the entire idk korn discography but DAMN just research the bare minimum
LEAVE ME AND MY MUSIC ALONE
i used to just see your video titles / thumbnails in my recommendations feed & id think "oh brother this guy is so annoying" but i finally decided 2 actually WATCH one of ur videos & ur lowkey so real
the way to win here is to consume content in moderation and enjoy what you love with others like you :)
i love getting recommended content that in zero way do i understand
4:27 KURT KURT KURT KURT (I dont think im different for listening to nirvana, everyone loves nirvana I just have nirvana brainrot and just seeing a member makes my brain have 51 songs stuck in my head at once!!!!! WOOOO)
