Performality

A sociological condition where the line between "living" and "performing" has completely dissolved. It describes a state where a person cannot experience a moment directly, but only through the lens of how it will look to an audience. It is the habit of acting like a reality TV star in your daily life, even when no one is filming.

Person 1: "Why is she screaming at the barista? There's no one else here."
Person 2: "It's pure performality. She's waiting for the clip to go viral."

The Performality Paradox

The sociological law that states the harder a person tries to appear "authentic" on social media, the more performative their behavior actually becomes. It refers to the irony that looking "effortlessly messy" (e.g., photo dumps, crying selfies, no-makeup posts) often requires more staging, curation, and editing than a polished photo.

Her "I just woke up" selfie took 45 minutes to get the lighting right. That is the Performality Paradox in action.

Weaver Academy for the Performing and Visual Arts

Weaver Academy is a performing and visual arts school, and is known for their high standards and weird students. A typical day at weaver involves math teachers using tampon strings as rulers, the practice room monster, trying to poop while random girls are vaping in the bathroom, having fun in your PVA, and homework. Weaver is a pretty fun place, you can typically expect an 18 year old in guitar to flirt with underclassman, a freshman in theater singing in the hallways, or the emo kids being emo. People at this school either listen to taylor swift or deftones, there’s no in between. Overall, Weaver is alright.

Do you go Weaver Academy for the Performing and Visual Arts?
Yeah, I’m not gay though

Lexus Rx500h F-Performace

A "sport-ty" crossover. My wife wouldn't let me get the Is350 f-sport but I convince her to let me get the next best thing "I can put the kids in the back" she fell for it. It's the compromise that is not a compromise.

It's the I wannabe a sport car.

Lexus Rx500h F-Performace: the soccer dad dream car. The wannabe sport van.
