According to the completely-not-made-up "Absurdist Manifesto of 1929", Absurdism is a philosophy that rejects the notion that anything, including reality, makes sense. It's like the opposite of, well, everything.
Surrealism is like, "Hey, let's make art out of weird stuff." Absurdism is like, "No, let's just stand in the middle of the room and stare at a wall for 4 hours."
Only if you're a postmodernist. But let's be real, you're probably just drinking it because it's hot and it's got caffeine. Which, I mean, same difference, really.
Only if we all just decide to give up and accept the fact that the universe is just a big, meaningless void. Which, let's be honest, is probably already true. But, hey, at least the coffee is good.
