Escapism is the next literary movement. Prove me wrong

escapism is a mode of engaging with fiction, not a style of fiction. the most blatant political allegory can be read in an escapist manner (what if i was an animal on the animal farm? i would fight the evil pigs!). famously escapist fiction can be read politically (why are the droids in star wars enslaved?).

so what you wrote is something like "wearing hats indoors is the next trend in architecture"

>implying our generation isn't becoming stoic toward the world around us
>implying more and more of us aren't looking for meaning in life, hence why some are beginning to look to God
>implying milennials aren't fed up with hedonism

The next movement will be a critique against capitalism and the world it's created, hence escapism.

Prove yourself right.

>tfw finally rejected reason and meaning
>stop giving a fuck about politics, ethics and philosophy
>tfw living the nihilist escapist lifestyle untill i get bored and kill myself
