3.5/ thanks for putting things into perspective. Otherwise, it needs a lot of updates in order to exist as a camp manifesto
informative reflective

a lot of name dropping but I guess it’s just because camp is hard to explain without just plain showing 

‘It’s good because it’s awful’ are words I live my life by

My uncultured little brain definitely didn’t understand all of this but what I did I loved

I understand now why this is such a key essay, really made me consider the similarities and differences between camp and kitsch.

Came here for Notes on Camp and thought that essay was really well done although i don't agree with everything Sontag says. The second one, however, i didn't like nor care for (though it would be interesting to hear her thoughts on the current AI committing art theft situation). Felt like a whole lotta words to say very little. I can't stand pretentious academic writing (most of the time). Seems ironic that Sontag's writing is pretty inaccessible, considering her criticism of the supposed chasm between "high" and "low" culture.
