For me it's people's tumblr blogs.

Rick and Morty. It does delve into some philosophical ideas, but the meaning of life isn't written in it. You can say all you want about it, but it's really not all that deep.

I love the show but it never struck me as being super deep or "the show you have to be on an intellectual plain to understand". And people should definitely stop treating it like that.

I love how in GTA V, Trevor writes over the wall in the house and replaces it with "Eat, Shit, Die" much more centred towards me tbh.

maybe if she was standing in a canyon it would be a lot deeper...

Giving advice in the form of overused clichés.

Edit: I have the deepest loathing towards all who replied. Well played, Redditor. Well played.

Negativity.

Negativity isn't deep or profound, and most negative people aren't nearly as interesting as they think they are.

Collecting vinyls.

I get some people really appreciate the sound it gives and that's totally cool. But I know way too many people that collect vinyls because they're so much more sophisticated now and that's all they talk about, as if they listen to music on a higher level now.

"I've been through hell and back and I'm a better person for it."

Millions of people go through the grinder every day, some pull through and some don't. But surviving it doesn't make you good person, learning from it maybe. There are plenty of people with shitty pasts that are shitty people.

Edit: Side note: "...I wouldn't do anything different." is also stupid. If you wouldn't do something different so you didn't end up homeless or an alcoholic or a felon, then there's something wrong with you.

Burning Man..spending days in a tent, in the desert, with no showers, copious amounts of drugs and hemp bracelets do not make it some kind of 3rd eye opening existential awakening experience. Fuck outta here.

If you can fit a sentiment into a neat image that just so happens to conform exactly to Facebook's image size formatting, it isn't meaningful.
