 Severyanin decried excessive objectivity of the Cubo-Futurists, advocating a more subjective attitude.Although other Russian Futurists dismissed the Ego-Futurists as puerile and vulgar, Severyanin argued that his advancement of outspoken sensuality, neologisms and ostentatious selfishness qualifies as futurism.The Ego-Futurists significantly influenced the Imaginists of the 1920s.
