There is an interesting genre of posts that exists on the internet. It's these strange, sometimes motivational, seemingly deep posts. They contain a thought-provoking image of some sort along with text that attempts to deliver a message. These messages range anywhere from being inspiring to talking about how lonely a person is, to making broad claims about society. They attempt to be life-altering, but they really are just kind of shallow and cringeworthy.

Their messages are either really overdone, out-of-touch, or just plain wrong. They scream "edgy teenager," which is the demographic that tends to share them, to be fair. It's hard to say why people enjoy these posts, but they do, because they circulate the web a lot. Reddit's sarcastically titled subreddit /r/im14andthisisdeep is the place to go for users to share all of these not-so-deep posts with the world. Get ready to cringe at some top-tier edgy posts.
