Why did the "literary youth" decline so far, from pursuing civilization to avoiding it?

Because too many people flock to it. In this era of frequent outbreaks of literature and art, what is a literary youth? My understanding is that anyone who loves literature and art and has a young mind can be called a literary youth. However, today's young artists seem to have become extremely embarrassed. They are neither literate nor artistic. People who are really interested in literature and art are ashamed to be called "Wen Qing". When you read literary novels, you hide them so as not to be found out and be labeled as a literary youth.

The fundamental difference between pseudo-Wen Qing and Wen Qing lies in their pursuit of "the lifestyle of literary youth". Their small and fresh photography style, together with the golden literary sentences found by fans or ambiguous sentences written by themselves, is the basic operation for pseudo-Wen Qing to create his own illusion of literary life.

Netizens have made such a summary of literary youth, which really represents the cognition of most people: First, dreams are unrealistic and dementia is stubborn; Second, I like literature and art, movies and music. However, another point that young artists are criticized by contemporary people is that they are too stubborn to look at the world in their own way and think that they are right or even just in opposing secularism. There is often a thin line between pseudo-Wen Qing and Wen Qing.

In this era when social media enslaves everyone, we are forced to choose labels immediately after registration. These labels gradually become masks, stickers on our faces, tattoos on our bodies, and finally soldering irons on our souls. People who walk in rivers and lakes should also set up people for themselves. Wen Qing is undoubtedly the best choice. After all, the concept of Wen Qing is not specific, can not be proved, nor can it be regarded as forgery.

I think the word "literary youth" in people's minds represents the unity of consciousness and the mediocrity of aesthetics. However, when others describe him as a young man of literature and art, most of them will angrily refuse the hat. In fact, they are not bad, but not excellent. They choose the biggest factor in society. They are a group that looks very special but has no personal identity. They express their existence in a disgraceful form, but they become prisoners of this form.
