  • You're So VainOriginZach - #5 - 5 points - submitted Oct 7, 2023 - One of our most prominent contemporary egoists (he has a song called "I Am A God") . The song title has a few meanings, one of which is self-criticism over his arrogance and self-destructive tendencies. He is a real-life example of the literary "difficult man": from "Rabbit, Run" to "The Sopranos", we love art that shows monsters who feel bad about being monsters, and then double down on their behavior. It resonates with our own self-criticism. Kanye loves and hates himself, but mostly loves.
