Mentions (4)
"Araki drew a contrast between his early works and contemporary teen dramas like 'Euphoria,' which he sees as placing too much emphasis on the dark aspects of adolescence and ignoring the joy that comes with it. 'There's fun and there's joy and there's exhilaration the same way of going to a punk roc"
"Dennis Cooper, John Waters, Yukio Mishima, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, Gregg Araki, Ryan Murphy, Samuel Delany, Douglas P., Peter Sotos It seems like a thing. Who am I missing?"
