Girl Interrupted Syndrome is the phenomenon of an angsty
teen believing they are so incredibly unique and different, they find their
depression to be cinematic in a
"starving artist" way and believe it makes them an interesting, nonchalant, effortless cool girl. Those who suffer from Girl Interrupted Syndrome
may find themselves engaging in the listening of Fiona Apple, Duster, and Have a Nice Life while also attempting to pick up any hobby or new interest that will make them seem so esoteric and Manic Pixie Dream Girl -esque. Girl Interrupted Syndrome victims
may find themselves to be infatuated with the arts and chase after
people who are the same as them. The constant attempt to be so different
may also lead to those with this syndrome to participate in
cigarette smoking, accentuating their eye bags using eyeshadow, only using 35mm film for pictures, and desperately trying to appear quiet and mysterious. They are also mostly self-righteous philosophy freaks who find themself to be more well-rounded than everyone around them.
