It feels pompous to me.

I mean... It's just really pompous, dorky, and obnoxious.

The content seems good but it's hard to get used to the pompous style.

More pompous than pretentious.

jjeaff | karma 13640 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2018-04-18 08:47:08

I've noticed that. It seems rather blunt and unfeeling to me.

gdonelli | karma 216 | avg karma 1.33 · | 2014-04-21 20:06:12+00:00

It feels unconvincing, and unapologetic.

toxican | karma 1670 | avg karma 3.65 · | 2019-08-16 17:46:27

Seems pretentious as hell, to be honest.

chimpburger | karma 158 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2018-02-22 02:44:50+00:00

It is quite pretentious.

hammyhavoc | karma 3326 | avg karma 1.23 · | 2023-05-11 21:46:54

It's pretty tacky and archaic.

exolymph | karma 14357 | avg karma 3.88 · | 2016-01-02 23:37:22

I'm struggling not to find the writing style boastful or arrogant. I can't put my finger on why I get that vibe, but I do, and it's off-putting. Thoughts?

sanderjd | karma 14921 | avg karma 2.45 · | 2018-10-20 03:50:09

It reads as haughty, overwrought, and cliche to me. To each their own I suppose.

skrebbel | karma 32746 | avg karma 5.58 · | 2011-04-19 12:19:32+00:00

seconded. in addition, it feels arrogant. highlight how nice and fun it is, not how super-special-awesome.

emsign | karma 579 | avg karma 2.24 · | 2024-05-21 04:45:29

It looks really unprofessional at minimum if not a bit arrogant, which is actually more concerning as it hints at a deeper disrespect for artists and celebrities.

ojbyrne | karma 17267 | avg karma 3.87 · | 2024-02-06 21:48:10

As a native English speaker, in my opinion it's incredibly pretentious.

jwilliams | karma 5438 | avg karma 3.27 · | 2008-11-23 18:45:00

Shrug - Yeah, I know - I'm probably just being a grump, but it seems ostentatious to me.

ashtonkem | karma 18360 | avg karma 3.77 · | 2021-08-02 12:14:12

Yup, this whole thing has a huge whiff of classicism and snobbery.

emodendroket | karma 21781 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2016-10-24 19:35:48

I thought this felt a bit glib.

beshrkayali | karma 3107 | avg karma 6.41 · | 2014-04-15 18:15:23

Don't want to derail offtopic here, but it's really just in the delivery. It came off a tiny bit pretentious to me.

staticassertion | karma 12534 | avg karma 3.12 · | 2021-02-17 20:31:04+00:00

I think it's just really dated and comes across weird.

throwanem | karma 18321 | avg karma 2.56 · | 2020-03-02 15:36:29+00:00

They stand out as overly verbose and insincere, but I'm not sure that's something worth emulating.
