Edgelords and normies. The never ending contrarian cycle.
The yin and yang of society
The ironic thing I'd that those who call themselves "free thinkers" are ironically the most hivemind level shit ever

Seems like most people are a mix of the two but froth at the mouth when accused of being either. You can see it whenever someone complains about annoying copypasta spam because people will show up in droves to say they did in fact laugh when reading the exact same botched use of an old quote for 5000th time & claim the people pasting it aren't just trying to get attention & that you should be nice to them. Right before telling someone to self delete for not liking spam.

"I got rid of all of your problems so you have nothing to bitch about"
And then still trying to find a reason to bitch, he perfectly represented internet drama today.
Yeah, that's like ancient now but like in some moderation it can be really good and others it can just be bad but IDK.
There was this funny political controversy a while back where this politician had this talking point about modern art and how bad it was. He whipped up a lot of anger, and people started harassing and protesting outside a specific museum with a modern art exhibit.
The museum took down the exhibit, saying that it had become dangerous for their staff to keep it up. You know what the politician did?
He called the museum, FURIOUSLY demanding they put the exhibit back up!
It's like something out of some kind of political satire.
Get rid of the problems first and then you might have an argument
I wouldnt say it describes internet drama but rather the paradoxical nature of non-conformists, counter-culture or generally people-hating people.
That's why you need to stand *for things,* and not against things.
always that dam society
ugh tell me bout it
and I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for that darn society!

@@ballonstudios7799do what? (Google translate below your comment glitching)
Agreed
What a stan
God I love the setup and the punchline on this one. I've seen it happen over and over and over and over again on various platforms and groups and forums and what have you. The eternally contrarian, "I'm just better than everybody else" guy/gals. The "Why would I EVER enjoy myself when everything is SO SHIT" types. The "People who live in happiness are actually just mentally deficient lemmings that aren't smart enough to see the world for what it really is, unlike ME" mindset.
How do I know those types so well? It was me, baby. I used to be exactly that way. Not anymore though, I'm so much better than those guys now.
I see what you did there. xD
the ending of your comment was golden lol
You flipped the original message of this animation...
I love this comment
do you see it?
That's...surprisingly deep. It's true that some people convince themselves that they are fighting against something or someone, but when that's gone you see them rushing towards a new fight. They don't want to achieve something, they simply get that high of being a contrarian, perhaps a reaction of being raised by too strict a parents or something like that.
what
This is a real psychological phenomenon.
such deepness
very philosophical
yh I have a friend like this.
They probably hate me bc they criticise the way I am as well. They even hate on kids. One day I had to interrupt them bc they got mad about a little girl on the internet who can speak multiple languages and started calling them a show off and talking about how they hate girls who are pick me's like her 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I honestly started laughing. I couldn't believe they were srsly that mad at a random little girl
Sometimes I dont understand them Istg. They get genuinely mad at people and shame them for their traits. Not bc those ppl are necessarily harming anyone ☠
They describe themselves as highly inteligent, differrent from everyone else, part of an exclusive group of ppl who are simply evolved from everyone else and they end up saying pretty hurtful sht.
Their problem with me is that I'm too laid back, I speak too soft, smile too much and remind them of the "perfect girl" stereotype. That "annoying" girl who goes to church, does her chores, smiles at everyone, gets good grades, "dresses basic", doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs, "is boring", is nerdy, is mostly shy, "has nothing special or unique about her", "is trying to please everyone" , "has an irritating soft voice" and so on. Honestly, I don't think I' m doing anything wrong by working on myself lol. And I used to be ashamed of my voice since I was a kid bc it's like it doesnt develop as quickly as I would like. But it's my voice Idk what they want me to do?
I don't understand why they can't be how they want to be without shitting on others
I mean, there kinda is always something to fight for. I just want to live a normal life as a trans dude, but with trans healthcare being banned and being home with religious parents, that fictional "we got rid of all the problems", is that, fictional.
There is always something worth fighting. There will always be bad people who want to kill you.
You are right about one thing, there are certain types of people who dont face these types of problems. They dont have identity issues, nor religious problems, nor face war, nor racial injustice, nor gender injustice and most likely is wealthy enough to live comfortibaly to achieve their dreams and live a normal life. Then what? They'll probably start problems, preaching that lgbtq+ are filth and should be killed, or pretending that theyre marginalized and are victims of inequality, despite being nepobabies.
Yeah, these people exist. Most likely rich, white people who took advantage of other people to get to the top. People who are bored with their life, just to make grifting a profession, because theyre not skilled enough nor kind enough to actually want to make a positive difference in the world.
As a Normie, I can confirm that our dialogue is similar to a Skyrim NPC.
Yep, I just got an allergic reaction now confirmed.
"looking to protect yourself? Or deal some damage"
More like Oblivion lol
@@rayw.6677 Definitely lol
I was going to make a clever comment but then I took an arrow to the knee
“And when everyone’s super…. No one will be”
Am i the only one to have wished to see a glimpse into Buddy's personal descent down his dark path after he was reject by Mr. Incredible? Seeing him work his way to become rich and allocate the resources to develop his hq and weapons for destroying the superheroes one after another in his world would've been cool to see, i think.
Or did they actually show/explain it in The Incredibles and I either missed it or don't remember it because it's been quite a long time since I watched that movie.
@@joshjess9841 His name is SYNDROME
But see, I never understood how that was bad. It would be sick to have powers. Seems like any super power in the Incredibles universe would have some serious real-world benefits. Even if bad people have powers, so do all the good people.
@@Knee_Boy64 Because it's BS logic. When everyone is super, everyone is super, just not above other super people.
But that's the thing, some people can only comprehend the world in relation to their ability to look down on others.
Which is probably partly why Syndrome's plan was a joke. He was going to have his fun being stronger than everyone, and then sell his inventions. It wasn't an attempt to just make everyone super.
i mean, when he listed hipsters, vegans, furries, the elites (these should disappear irl tho), thots and freaks
so u dont need to be normie, also we furries are slowly dominating the world and soon.... SOON THE WORLD WILL BE ONE OF LOVE AND CARE AND WHOLESOMENESS MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
James really captures the paradoxical nature of being an edgelord.
Like "yeah i'm not like other people but i can't stand people that thinks like me too"
The truth is that herd thinking is always there, if you want to be normal, then you're normal, if you want to be abnormal, then you want to be abnormal. Truly abnormal people don't need to want something to be unique, they already know it about themselves. Nox is both the author's alter ego and his way of expressing satire towards society, so there is both a grain of truth and a grain of ridicule here. But this is a kind irony about himself, because Nox is an alter ego, not an abstraction.
I would say that every abnormal person is abnormal in their own way, so harmony is rarely achieved and a point of contact is found, so usually when the edgelords come to power (as it was during the Great French Revolution), they start killing each other. It is much better when people are united by a common hatred towards the absolute evil for everyone than when they start cutting each other's heads already.
So this is not just some abstract paradox, it is also confirmed by history.

@@austinkentner1771 ha! Thanks! Really does have that feel, doesn't it?
ig if you mean he does the crazy facial expressions. otherwise idk. way more talented and funny (and i grew up a huge fan of his, The Mask is pure nostalgia). There is just something special about James though - add in the fact he's very multi talented
@@Dr.Twat.Waffle Yeah, I was referring to the facial expressions :)
Jim City? Sin Carrey?
This guy is like the UA-cam equivalent of one of those indie rock bands that all famous musicians absolutely love but the mainstream have yet to get caught up with.
Being this talented should be illegal
It is kind of already and they call that being multitalented or being too acquired for the job.
tru
@@danteshollowedgrounds why is that even a thing
You know its a James Lee video if he's already vomiting a random glowing liquid within the first few seconds.
I think Its acid fluid of his stomach ☝️🤓
Xenomorph fluids?
It was such a critical lesson I fortunately learned in high school. Just because you're a contrarian doesn't mean you aren't a sheep.
Sheep are herd animals by definition, they can't be any other way. A 'contrarian' sheep would immediately become a dead sheep since they always survive by doing what other sheep are doing
I base my political views to be the opposite of whoever I am trolling.
Only if all those alt people who thinks that they're so unique, authentic and better than others just because they have colorful and are part of a group of other people who basically just dresses and act the same just like literally everyone else realized that too...
Nox, I admire the fact that you give style to your truth speaking. Basically, pouring honey over the bitter truth and feeding it to us in order to open our eyes. Keep up the good work, bro!
In the perfect world youd catch the eye of some studio and be asked to develop something to showcase your amazing animation and style. Hopefully more notice your work, I love it so much
Basically, If everyone is edgy, it becomes the new normie
And when everyone's edgy... No one will be.
Best to keep things balanced.
Already pretty much is that way
It's already happening, it's closely tied to the SJW and Anti-SJW cycle where each side thinks they're the woke ones, then they play a cycle of "whoever currently has the most mainstream appeal 'wins.'" I think we're slowly approaching the cycle where being edgy is the normie thing with all the Manosphere bullshit. Then maybe we'll get a Gamergate 2 where it will reverse all over again like an endless hamster wheel of the most insufferable people you know!
witnessed it personally in a community i was in where people would post gore because it was the new rad cool epic shocking anti tourist weapon
then it got stale and everybody ganged on gore posters and basically kicked them out of the community because now they were the usual type: normies
Loved that little dance at the end, pretty adorable
1:19 That looks so funny without context
Can we take a second to appreciate the quality of the audio and editing, all the soundeffects, the soundtrack, the vocal processing and mixing... so.ehow failed to realize this about the previous videos, but man it's jam packed in effort and detail.
Like dam, even the use of sound stage on stereo, how things pan not just left or right but somewhat more psychoaccoustically. While still sounding excellent in mono on my phones speakers.
As usual the motion and bounce and negative space in your physical performance of Nox is BRILLIANT and so fun to watch!
BRO A MASTERPIECE LIKE NORMAL! Honestly watching all the animation it feels like you stepped up your game! Its so good!
The sound design when he spits in the urinal was top notch!
"The Sierra Madre Casino, in all its glory. Beautiful, now that everyone's dedd. Better this way. Quiet. The way the Mojave should be."
I liked that reference better when I made it 16 minutes prior to you. Complete with algorithm-friendly misspelling of the word deceased.
Love NV, also lol
@@ephraimwinslow The machine takes. It gives little back.
Getting there? Thats not the hard part... its letting go.
Goddammit, I got ptsd from that dlc
The little dance for the outro perfect
Id pay good money for that ending dance loop sequence. Shit is memorizing.
Man, and I was just talking about your videos to someone yesterday. We were talking about how happy they are to be out of their abusive adobe relationship.
I love James Lee videos like this because it’s like silly social commentary but not pretentious and more psychedelic.
Like a political cartoon, but good!
@@Yohoatcouldn’t have said it better
yaas queen so slay

It isn't a James Lee video without Nox throwing up brightly colored vomit, never change.
Edited to say that I smiled at the 3D animation bit of the video, reminds me of that one Jimmy Neutron video.
I don't know why but this feels weird yet satisfying at the same time
Yes
When no one is normal
Everyone is
you sly dog you got me monologuing!
“Popular thing is bad” has never been and will never be a valid argument.
For me I tend to dislike popular things not because of its popularity, but rather the…unsavory folks it attracts in droves.
Looking at you MHA shippers
Uuuunless it's Hazbin Hotel, that sh#t is a$s. 💀
@ShitpostingJoJo ngl, the show is actually pretty average. Just feels way too overhyped for what it is. Also, the humor kinda knocks it down a few pegs with just being lots of swearing and oohh s-x joke.
But also popularity is not an indication of quality.
@@warlynx5644Same here it always sucks to see especially if you enjoy that thing and then those weirdos ruin it.
“No!! I’m too good for those guys!” Relatable af yo
Wished he would've switched his cig for a blindingly bright vape pen at that moment.
Dude's becoming the master and the cause of self-reflection. The amount of delusion Nox express is amazing
I think the message was very amazing. Not enough people talk about people who think there cool by cursing alot, thinking their different from society but in reality their just some regular ol hunk of junks like us.
Be different but in a good way 🦍
Sometimes you just can't win when the other person just wants something to complain about 😂
The grass isn’t always greener. When you burn the fuckin garden down
I so desperately want James Lee to either make a feature length movie in his style or be hired as the lead art director on a movie.
this came out less than a minute ago for me and its already a masteroiece
It is a masterpiece before it was uploaded. It became an instant classic once it was uploaded
The one true masteroiece
Just discovered this channel. It's grotesquely beautiful and ironic. Just like life.
The blending of 2D and video recordings with chopped frames and exaggerated movements like 2D animation is seamless.
He's standing on both sides of thw arguement! Normies and Compulsive Conceited Contrarianism, he can never be cancelled or hated !
No, it's just called satire.
Compulsive youtube suggestion of polarized anti establishment channels reformed me into a normie.
Waght
What did he mean by this?
The desire to feel special and the delusion that you are different in some unique way.
While the whole thing was clutch, for some reason that little dance at the end may be my favorite moment from anything you’ve done. So simple but hits so right.
you're an incredibility talented animator, your ability to blend filmed footage and animation is second to none. Every video is visually stunning and shows your level of expertise. The hard work that goes in to them is appreciated James!
I wish you're an immortal so that every year your content could improve even more in leaps and bounds than before!
I mean I just wish that bro has a long time of successes and opportunity coming from his supporters and really wish him well.
Good to see your art style is truly unique
I gotta be honest, I felt like the last few Nox videos had kind of lost the smart social media criticism vibe that made them special.
But this one got it 100% back.
I think, you missed some videos or the point of them. The last video is also criticism of social media (The answer). This video here isn't even a critique of social media, but of society generally (with a twist). Also Chilling with your A.I. homie and even Miyazaki is my Dad have aspects of criticism of society and the development of the Internet with social media, AI and algorithms. Rise of NOX is criticism of UA-cam and their algorithm. It can't get more critical of social media. Really, the list goes on: Elden Ring: Unironically Terrible, I wanna thank you Charlie, Back from the Dead and so on. They all have substance regarding these topics. It's just maybe not as obvious there as it is in A Life Without Facebook it doesn't have to be. Besides, Breaking up with Adobe has nothing to do with social media, and it is one of his best videos in my opinion.
this man's voice is badass
The dancing at the end was the cherry on top
The fact this channel is under a M subs is a crime against humanity.
Sigh, being underrated is cool no lie but I want mah boi to eat.
Bro actually you made me cry in some your videos. Love you
Personally I would like for him to be a villian in a movie.
This is just Brilliant...
this 2 minute short was better thematically, animated, told better, and more interesting then all of Hazbin Hotel IMO
Hazbin Hotel overhyped fr.
Its just so uninteresting after the damn pilot lmao
The coloring and movement on literally everything IS SO STRIKING HOW IS EVERYTHING YOU MAKE A WORK FROM THE GODS
The dance at the end just says how good this video was. Good art indubitably
That's how it's always going to be though, when anything becomes the mainstream, no matter what the antithesis is, that becomes the new rebellion.
holy shit the little dance at the very end was amazing
Who would want to be around someone who is miserable, abrasive, and unsociable? Not even the person in question.
Very few people are blind to every problem in the world (children don't count), most people have learned to take some small happiness in a world ever more determined to extinguish it.
And who wants to be with sociable, annoying people and uninteresting people? Not me, they're reality NPC
"Small happiness in a world ever more determined to extinguish it"? Has a semblance of being profound but is the world not better than it was? Sounds rather counter culture, govs want to keep you pleased enough to spread, only enemy states want to disrupt the system order. Of the information age the knowledge of the world's problems is just found naturally now... well the few popular parts of it anyway, we as social animals previously in primitive small groups are not built to well hear much of it. We feel an innate obligation to contend with it even if with our reach we realistically cannot. Still the majority are factually ignorant of most of the world's problems, not that knowing it all should be expected but that is the truth. The world is not conspiring to extinguish happiness, evolutionarily the trend is towards what benefits it's perpetuation no matter the costs.

Just.. nailed it man.
It takes a mad genius to come up with content like this. Color me intrigued.

This man is showing his writing, art, acting, and video editing skills all in one video.
Just...how??
1:05 Sounds like a COD Zombies sound effect 😂
It should be illegal to be this fucking stylish man. The aesthetic always blows my mind.
Most underrated animator I've seen in my life, and I'm happy to support him all I can 👍👍
If this man made a feature-length film, id probably watch it 100 times over
This video has been in my head for a week now. Bro, help
The animation is getting better
Both hilarious and genuinely cutting social commentary!
Average social media gremlin in a nutshell.

Ai-Bro has returned once again, now to purge the world! Wonder if the digital fella is slowly taking over James' channel under our noses
I really like how the people in "Normieland" were similar to the living persons of the real world in Grim Fandango. Beautiful video as always.
I hope to see Rusty in one of your vids. Your VA in his most recent was sick
