Pretentious Artslut

Female, can be be a good artist, but usually just takes art classes and draws mediocre at best. Says shes the shit, and talks about all the obsolete people/art/music she knows and likes. Has excessive meaningless tattoos of cupcakes in visible places and piercings. Wants to be unique and not a part of the corporate scene, but works at mcdonalds. Sexually promiscuous, but calls other girls who sleep around sluts. Has had multiple STDs, smokes, drinks, does dope and in general doesn't care about her health. Can be extremely loud and obnoxious around her friends, but as soon as she's with normal people, she's quiet and shy because she has very low self esteem unless she's with others that are exactly like her.
Jane: "I didn't have time to do my homework for art class, I was too busy visiting my friend who owns an art gallery. He's so well known among my circles of only real artists. I used to date him, because you know, he's just so awesome like me."

Bob: "Wow, Jane, you're such a pretentious artslut."

pretentious

a very contagious word. people who use the word pretentious are usually pretentious themselves. People who blame things for being showy and pretentious usually do so to indirectly say they are not pretentious themselves which is pretentious. People who use the word are also pretentious because the word pretentious is a big word that shows intellectualism. Pretentious just means showy, over the top, egotistic without proof, or psuedo intellectually acting smart but not really being smart. fans of the band tool are pretentious.
Gimmicks are pretentiously unique. The cool philosophical book smart kids at the coffee shop are pretentious. The weird artsy film is pretentious because it didn't make sense but showed fake intellectual property. the boy who wanted to look rich but didn't own much money is pretentious. the druggie kids who think they are smarter than everyone are pretentious. people who rant a lot of politics but do nothing are pretentious. and finally i'm pretentious for saying all those people are pretentious because i have nothing to show for myself either.

Pretentious

Adjective. Pretentious refers to a person or entity who carries an aura of pretense to everything they say and do. It's as though they're trying to milk every factoid or article they read, working them into conversations and social media updates, to portray themselves as godly or intelligent, or sometimes just plain superior. Because this is the ever-present pretense behind all their words and actions, conversation with them is limited only to: placating agreement to everything they say, or walking away before you lose your temper.
That pretentious guy who figured out how to tie his shoes before being taught, and thus feels he deserves a 50/50 stake in the creation of shoes: I believe Rick and Morty is a post-modernist, deconstruction critique of the bourgeois view on LiMiTeD uniVerSEs.
His imaginary best friend: That's so true.
