Dank is entirely subjective, and even if we were born in the same “back then”, our danks can be completely incompatible. There isn’t an agenda, it is just another extension of capitalism and profitability.
Generic industry meat/musical products. What’s dank about bottom panel ?
it’s neither
Thinly veiled misogyny has entered the chat.
It’s not, unfortunately. I was positing, would it read as misogynistic (I can see why you read it that way) if instead it had been a punk artist who was also a woman? Because then at least it would be women paired up against women with a similar message.
But I also agree with the likes of Theodor Adorno in that capitalist modes of production have been influencing the art of music negatively for a hundred years or more. (As such, punk hasn’t been safe from such capitalist influence, for example)
In other words, I agree with the sentiment that capitalism is making music less dangerous and anodyne, but I also see how this meme is formatted in a way that can be read as misogynistic.
Edit: Or you could switch the bottom pics out for stuff like the bands The 1975 or Imagine Dragons. There’s definitely some real shitty all-dude bands.
