Welcome to this week’s installment of our Wednesday meme feature, folks. Links to the “found via” sources will be attached to the specific MiQ’s (Memes in Question) whenever I can remember them, which likely won’t be very often. Only the first two memes will appear above the fold to save on bandwidth usage, since I assume not everybody who shows up at this here websty will want to see all of them. This intro will appear at the top of each week’s Memezapoppin’! post. Enjoy, funny pitcher-lovers.
That last bit, about post-90s music, at least in the US, is true, because most of it is lowest common denominator junk derivative of what came earlier – it’s safe, designed not to offend people who are on a hair trigger when it comes to taking offense. Woke music is boring music, it’s what happens in all totalitarian societies, it’s what happens to art when “Socialist Realism” takes over. Wokeness extinguishes creativity, because truly creative people are not safe, they say things that get them cancelled. The punk rock music of the 1970s and 1980s could not exist in the current day US. What’s interesting is that it *does* exist in countries like Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova (that I know of) – and those are places where the woke types pretty much don’t exist – and wouldn’t be long tolerated if they did. It’s not that you’re old, it’s that the creative environment has been stunted, has been fenced it. “Safe spaces” are boring spaces – that’s current day American/woke music.
