Why is not wanting to have a traditional marriage, not wanting kids, not wanting a suburban home, and possibly not wanting to celebrate Christmas edgy?
Because I don’t really want these things either, and it’s not because I’m “edgy”, but because everyone really isn’t the same or want the same things out of life. Even if society tried to push these things on everyone. When I tried to fit into what society deemed is the proper way to live, I was miserable, because society doesn’t account very much for differences. It’s much nicer when I just focus on what I actually want.
Also there’s that whole subtle implication of you having failed in life if you don’t have these things.
You just don’t get it man, he’s different. He has edge!
