A Portrait of the Person-Guy
October 20, 2015 7:20 AM   Subscribe

The Person-Guy is the cause of every evil and frustration in your life. The Person-Guy only wears odd socks, because he thinks that wasting our limited lifespan sorting them into matching pairs is indicative of a potentially authoritarian neurosis. The Person-Guy has a minor vocal tic, and it sends you into strange daylight fantasies; tearing out his throat with your bare hands, feeling the frantic little pulses of blood as they spurt and froth around your claws and then go cold. The Person-Guy likes all the same things you like, which is why you hate him. The Person-Guy is not reading this article. Only you are reading this article.

Is he depressed, or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with Person-Guy?
Degraded guy, Person-Guy.

As it said, "Sometimes [Person-Guy]'s just you"; it's that familiarity that makes us hate Person-Guy with such intensity.

You visit his loft apartment in Brooklondon or Berlyn, and every flat surface is covered with candles. A few of them are lit, scattered randomly around the room; tealights drooping precariously by the inevitable stacks of yellowing old books, elegant purple ones dribbling hot streams of wax to pool in the mason jars and espresso cups they’ve been unceremoniously jammed into, one big spluttering log of a candle that sits under a soot-smeared stain on the ceiling.

But still he shambles on, a formless form, all spit and tendons, grasping against the grit of the paving-slabs inch by laboured inch, as if he doesn’t know that he ought to be dead.

Surely, he should not be dead; it would be better if Person_Guy never existed at all. In fact, Person-Guy does not exist.

It is like the saying "We are all our own diseased vision of God."

What shall we call our game?
It needs a charming name
"Industry and spirit"

These people need time off

Tearing pages from the book
And we mix the dark passions
How can the Person-Guy find time for self-actualization?

The Person-Guy is really into these slightly obscure kinds of satire and it terrifies you because you always feel like he might be trying to make fun of you without letting on. Satire terrifies you; you think of your own wit as more silly, less pointed, friendlier. Is the Person-Guy trying to say he's better than you, with these recondite jokes? Are they even jokes? You aren't sure of that anymore.

The Berniebro is someone you may only have encountered if you’re somewhat similar to him: white; well-educated; middle-class (or, delicately, “upper middle-class”); and aware of NPR podcasts and jangly bearded bands.
This absolutely describes me save that I deliberately moved away from DC a year ago so I would never again have to have a conversation about which politicos I swear fealty to.

Person-Guy went through a period where he referred to himself as Persona-Guy as an explicit nod to the performative artifice of social being, but then he got into the Persona franchise and worried that people would think he was just that into the franchise and so he stopped, but one of his friends still calls him that sometimes and he just sort of fake-chuckles and changes the subject.

  • gamelan
  • animal rights
  • Sunday Funday (and also CrossFit, apparently, go fig)
  • performance management
  • the Oakland A's
  • Starwood Hotels & Resorts
  • horror movies--but not just the obvious ones everyone likes, all of them
  • having a favorite professional triathlete
...and I need to stop, this is making me sad.

Poisson-Guy is still really into sushi even though the rest of you think that it's a nice thing to have now and again.

Poisson-Guy knows when the boats come in. He doesn't have a radio or know the harbor master or anything like that, though.
Poisson-Guy sometimes wonders what it would be like to spend entire days under water. Not inside a submarine or anything, just swimming around and checking things out as if it was just something people could do.

There's a pretty wide gap between "having interests" and "having a proudly monomaniacal interest." I mean, I like my (non-Indonesian) friend who's really into gamelan, but I always know what his Facebook posts are going to be about whenever I see his name pop up.

Person-Guy always has the wrong degree of interest in his interests. He's an obsessive, insufferable monomaniac, or he's a shallow dilettante, or he's a poseur who isn't genuinely interested in that in the first place but just thinks it sounds impressive. Or else he doesn't appear to have any interests and he never posts to Facebook about anything, what's wrong with him, what a bizarrely anodyne bore he is, he has no personality. Or his interests are all really conventional, so you just hate how dull he is, but sometimes you still worry that there might be a weird tinge of normcore irony to his dullness, so in addition to being bored by him you're always anxious anyhow that he might be feeling a secret sense of distance, of superiority, always treating you as a type while you're genuinely trying to interact with him as an individual.

The Contemporary Conformist wants to look so natural/urban that they seem like the alien in a frozen yogurt shoppe.



The Dood is oftenest seen in the lobbies of our theatres on first-nights. He puffs cigarettes or sucks his hammered-silver tipped cane in the entr actes, and passes remarks of a not particularly intellectual character on the appearance and dresses of the actresses. His greatest pleasure lies in taking a favorite actress or singer to supper at Delmonico’s or the Hotel Brunswick—places he briefly calls ‘Dels’ and the ‘Bruns’—where he will spend his papa’s pelf with a lavish hand.


Now, one mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior has come to define the generally indefinable idea of the “Hipster.” ... Loosely associated with some form of creative output, they attend art parties, take lo-fi pictures with analog cameras, ride their bikes to night clubs and sweat it up at nouveau disco-coke parties. The hipster tends to religiously blog about their daily exploits, usually while leafing through generation-defining magazines like Vice, Another Magazine and Wallpaper.

Person-guy seems to be a uniquely Facebook problem. Twitter and G+ solved this problem by calling people "followers" instead of "friends." In a "friends" model, you feel socially obligated to add people just because you know them, regardless of whether they post interesting content or not. In a "followers" model, you only add people whose content you want to read, regardless of whether you know them or not.

Of course twitter and g+ have other problems, just not person-guy so much.

Person Guy has been around for a while:

three kinds of enemy walk:
the grandiose stunt
the melancholic stagger
the paranoiac sidle

three kinds of enemy bearing:
the condor's stoop
the toad's stupor
the robin's stance

three kinds of enemy face:
the fucked hen
the favorite puss
the stone-in-the-rain

three terms of enemy speech:
I mean
quite frankly
speaking as a scientist etcetera

three enemy questions:
am I boring you?
could you tell me the time?
are you sure you're fit enough?

three results of an enemy victory:
impotence
cancer
paralysis

It still isn't clear to me what a Person-Guy is or isn't or why I should want or not want to be one or know one, but if "Person Guy" takes the place of "hipster" in the internet's lexicon then I will consider it work well done.
