What a bummer. . .

Sam Hyde depicts a "South Park" Centrism where everyone with strong opinions are wrong because they are easy to turn into lazy parody or enrage.

He skewers everyone in a half-hearted effort to set himself above the rest. That's what makes him simply an edgy shitheel. His sneering irreverence is what makes him pathetic. He has no real convictions, he's just pointing out "phonies" like a middle aged Holden Caulfield. His pubescent angst is nothing but corrosive to himself and culture at large.

uh genre eclecticism actually wasn't a new thing then, even in mainstream music

- Chamber Folk movement of the 60s and 70s
- Zappa's Jazz/Rock/Serialism/Showtunes crossovers
- Electronic experimentation from composers such as Stockhausen wedded Rock throughout the early to mid 70s
- Jazz-Rock became a thing in the 60s and was a major driving force of the 70s

> literature

nobody here actually reads literature anymore, so not this

> philosophy

take the above and then skim off 99% of the people who do read literature and you have those who read hard-substance philosophy, so not that

> culture

a lot of people make fun of french culture because they assume it entails waking up at 8am, buying a baguette for breakfast, go to work for 2 hours, siesta and eat crepes and escargot, work for another hour, go on strike for two more hours, watch eraserhead for another hour, eat bleu cheese and goose liver with wine for dinner, pay 90% of your income as taxes, read the communist manifesto, and then go to bed.

there are people whose expectations of french are not too far from this, and they are not few and far between
