I'm 14 and this is deep
Language: English
Part of speech: phrase
Senses: examples: text: When your entire life’s struggle is reduced to an exemplar of “I’m 14 and this is deep”, like you should know better, except there aren’t any answers, and everyone else puts their head in the sand.
ref: 2019, Saul van der Walt, Morsels for the Depressed, Depraved, Pessimistic, and otherwise Declining, →ISBN:
text: This is the same argument I'm making here with the "I'm 14 and this is deep" notion of "nobody can ever truly know anything", because if you know anything about epistemic philosophy, you'd accept that there are thousands of years of responses to this problem.
ref: 2019 June 23, Cire Drayniv, “Here's how it goes...”, in alt.music.pink-floyd.publius (Usenet), archived from the original on 24 Dec 2024:
text: As an art form, poetry has become the butt of jokes in recent years, often called “cringeworthy” for its content. The phrase “I’m 14 and this is deep” is believed to have originated from criticizing poetry shared on social networks like Facebook and Instagram.
ref: [2020 October 20, “Cringey poetry is good for the mind and soul”, in The Signal, Atlanta, Ga.: Georgia State University:
text: Without the title of the painting or the supposed motive for its creation (sadness, anger, etc.) the art has no real value. It rings very similar to those “I’m fourteen and this is deep” posts that trick the viewer into believing that they’re such intuitive and deep thinkers by being able to interpret simple metaphors and analogies that tend to be very much on the nose.
ref: 2021 October 11, Logan Colman, “Hot take: modern art sucks”, in The Carroll News, Cleveland, Oh.: John Carroll University:
text: Crash didn't deserve an Oscar. It wasn't particularly deep or well-made, nor was it particularly nuanced or insightful. Anyone who feels this movie is special must be, 'I'm fourteen, and this is deep.' It was standard Oscar bait, and it sadly worked. It is a very skippable film.
ref: 2023 June 20, Mychal Thompson, quoting u/Literacy_Advocate, “19 Award-Winning, Highly Praised Movies That Are Underwhelming, And I Want To Know If You Agree”, in BuzzFeed, archived from the original on 20 Jun 2023:
text: This is incredibly apparent in “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” where the aforementioned asylum lyric appears. It feels like Swift is trying so unbearably hard to be edgy and dark on this record that it comes across as simply comical. The track and the record, as a whole, radiates “I’m 14, and this is deep” energy.
ref: 2024 April 29, Kelly Brennen, “Taylor Swift delivers lackluster lyrics, uninspired production”, in The Torch, Valparaiso, Ind.: Valparaiso University:
