>is burgerpunk the next trend in literature
whatever sells copies, you idiot.

Burgerpunk assumes a post-modern condition in which every interaction, every experience and ideology and aesthetic can be repackaged and resold, reproduced and marketed to a wide audience.

Hence the dystopia of "living" in a "culture" shaped by international conglomerates.

Even if you did come upon some philosophical truth, it will never amount to anything more than "this cheap colorful food item was produced just for profit!" And we all know this. Everybody in Burgerpunk dystopia is aware that everything is mass produced and cheap and made sexy and colorful for your eyes.
And you're okay with it because it's appealing.
Even if you're not okay, and you feel frustrated, you're certainly not enraged
And you really can't be enraged, and the reasons for that are twofold:

1) You are well fed and you sleep on comfy mattresses and get to work on time thanks to this world created by corporate culture.
2) Corporate culture removes your ability to be "enraged," or to be "moved," or to have any legitimate human-like experience whatsoever, because the culture that conglomerates create is not one in which you have time, space, body, or opportunity for real experiences.

>went to mcdonalds/{cool bar} with some friends yday omg!

In effect, if Burgerpunk does become "the next trend," it will simply be reabsorbed into BurgerPunk culture.
Corporations can be anti-capitalist, they can be feminist, LGBTQ+, they can absorb any reality, any marketing scheme, any philosophy, aesthetic, or ideology.
And it cannot be stopped.
And we don't want it to stop either
Why would anyone wanna stop eating cheap & tasty & colorful McDonalds???

Wrong, cyberpunk is full of legitimate subcultures and rebellion that the corps try to crush. There will never be any rebellion against US corps in the US, the corps will just monetize it with tshirts and Facebook slogans.
THERE IS NO FUTURE

Imagine a story with two protagonists.
First is Billy, a young man who hates modern existence. He aimlessly wanders suburbia trying to find a meaning. He only eats at local family restauraunts, shops at local mom and pop stores, and tries to support local bands. One day, the library he works at gets shut down and he is forced to work for Walmart.
Then there is Bob. He is middle aged, dresses in a sleazy lounge suit, wears aviators, and smokes like a chimney. His story centers on his escapades as he and his junker car drive around the edges of urban civilization and he meets the colorful characters within between gas station and fast food stops. He has chosen to "ride the burger".

no it's just literally an ironic take on the post modern condition by exploring the perspective of unironically enjoying post-modernity.

God y'all are so dense. This isn't that complicated or new, it's just an off-shoot of post modern literature.


And the Google Doc fuckin sucks. Absolutely nothing of fuckin value, no slogans, no burger terminology, nothing about economic realities, nothing about the physical space or the construction of a city or ... anything that truly resonates or relates to the actual BurgerPunk aesthetic that exists.

just a bunch of shitty immature pseudo-intellectuals jerking around.
