Itt: great writers with cringe fanbases
The cringe doesn't really come from fans of Nietzsche though, it comes from pseuds who think that they can just dive straight in to Zarathustra and end up quoting stuff about war and the abyss without actually understanding what he was talking about.
Stephen King
Giving us an example of the cringe, nice
that's this thread
Can you really blame them?
Thus Spake Zarathustra is one of the most quotable works of fiction ever written.
God
No it's not, that's like saying you're a Star Wars fan because you watched The Empire Strikes Back even though you had to ask your friend three times who the tall guy in the mask was
Yo fatass mama
Orwell
DFW
Pynchon
...
If I want to start reading Nietzsche where should I start?
He's just as cringe
Marx
Marx is an underrated prose stylist
Chronologically except Thus Spoke Zarathustra, that should be read later or at the same time as some works after it.
You can skip, or read these last, or whenever.
>The Case of Wagner
>The Greek Music Drama
>Nietzsche contra Wagner
I guess you can read The Birth of Tragedy if you didn't START WITH THE GREEKS.
Ayn Rand
Oh wait she wasn't great
Ecce Homo
New-Age Tolkien fans
Tolkien hated them
...
Marx, Aristotle, Hegel
I was going to say that. I'll never be as quick witted
and original as my Veeky Forums overlords.
You know, I'm something of a classical liberal myself
Christopher Poole (Code Writer)

>Great
James Baldwin
Nietzsche is the best example. Fiona Apple is a very good songwriter with very bad fans.
Cringe fan sighted.
