Anyone else? It fucked over Natives and their comfy lifestyle, it eventually made Europeans into industrialized bugmen and then they exported that shit all over the globe.

I really enjoyed that. The thesis is so spot on. I live in the city where the burgerpunk picture was taken. I've shopped there. I've experienced it first hand. But even after writing >>17193489 I still don't think I properly describe it. If you look through what I wrote there are 12 chapters. Each one trying to be a slightly different thing than the one before it. Trying to grasp what burgerpunk is. Each time tightening my fingers around the pile of sand in my palm and with each try, more grains falling out of my hand.

You meme these things into existence, if enough people agree to the idea that "burgerpunk" is a real thing then it becomes a real thing and the world will respond in kind, people will go through history looking for anything that resembles it and slap the label onto them, and people will create new things which fall under its label. That's the power of memes.

Burgerpunk is individual decay, corporate growth?

>> No.17200923

>>17200892
>Burgerpunk has been described as the aesthetic reconciliation of the post-modernist individual recognizing the cognitive dissonance between the vast nature of corporate service-based globalization and the individualist nature of consumption forced upon them by the very nature and propaganda of their capitalist benefactors. The genre's backdrop explores the conflict between traditional american sensibilities inflated to a caricature by exaggerated use of freeway systems, suburban growth, and franchise based food products against the cynical nature of the average american blooming into a genuine need for individualized and personalized culture after slowly exchanging their ancestor's cultural heritage for their own force-fed culture of ease of access and frugality. Issues of hopelessness, automation, and complacency contrast the information provided through constant access to media and propagandized geopolitical news. The genre itself, becoming a meta commentary on other fantasy or science fiction based genres by using the actual occurring landscape as the basis for literary escape.
