Can we acknowledge that, in hindsight, Mad World was some seriously trite, meaningless, two-dimensional bullshit? It's like the "you'll never understand me Mom" poetry of a fourteen year old who just discovered Hot Topic.

I mean you're not far off. It was written by a teenager who suffered neglect/abuse in childhood.

It fit in Donnie Darko pretty well

That's probably because Donnie Darko also fits the above comment pretty much perfectly.

I still like Donnie Darko but it's definitely best to first see it when you're a teenage boy.

Pretty sure you don't understand how important iam14andthisisdeep kinds of phases are for developing a well rounded individuality. The reason you find it cringey is growth

Sure, but acknowledgment doesn't stop 14 year olds who just discovered Hot Topic from existing. If there's a market, somebody will cater to it.
