Is culture dead?

[Bi_3]

Just a bunch of middle-aged, mostly well off white men working out whether or not culture is dead.

What was the last "culture" or element of culture you latched on to?

lmao sometimes RM can really veer into self-parody

White liberals have such a weird neurosis about being a white guy. Every thought that enters your heads is accompanied with the question "is it ok for me to think about this?"

Perhaps the most busted aspect of white liberal nonculture.

Yes, you're allowed to think about culture, even as a loathsome whitey.

[BurtReynolds]

As the blackest member of RM (3%, rounded up) I have transcended my whiteness and cast off the accompanying guilt and self doubt, and become a completely free and unique egoist spirit.

So I don't have that problem.

Burt is a well know beige chromophobe . I will not stand for it.

I think this is far less about race than it is about middle age. My reading on this thread: as people age and retreat into bubbles comprised mostly of other people around the same age, they become more and more detached from cultural trends, and this thread seems to be based on the premise that because the OP isn't cognizant of said trends, they must not exist. Pretty standard middle-age-and-up solipsism, I would say. Basically a pseudo-intellectualized "music was better when I was young" argument.

[BurtReynolds]

as long as dumb hair exists, culture is not dead.

[LoathedVermin72]

As I said.

Basically:


I can see an argument being made about the increasingly algorithmic-driven homogenization of certain aspects of culture, but that still wouldn't be culture dying, it would be culture changing

fentanyl and ozempic?

I'm grasping in the dark here.

Ok, then enlighten me. What do I not see? What have you moved on to?

Pitch corrected vocals with music set to a grid that takes melodies from old songs but changes the lyrics.
