I saw a discourse going around the internet. It's really stupid. People are trying to figure out the meaning behind Sabrina Carpenter's cover and determining whether it's ironic, satirical or if feminism has regressed because of Sabrina's fault (as I said, it's really stupid). Other than the growing cases of lobotomies and encephalitis clearly being displayed by the attempt at hyper intellectualizing a pop star's album cover, what has me concerned, is that people are utilizing irony and satire interchangeably as if they mean the same thing. Sure, satire can be ironic, but that's not always its intention. IT CAN BE. But not always. And I think it's thwarting the stupid discourse. Here are the basic meanings of these concepts.

This is my nightmare. It's like the people being unable to differentiate between retro, vintage and antique, all over again.

I personally don't like this meme. However, I think it's very interesting to look at the ways in which the attention economy evolves, as well as how influencers could profit off of virality in more tangible ways.

sometimes itโs more fun to read the book review, or the tweets about the book review, than to read the actual book. sometimes you learn more about a news event from the associated memes than the headline story. sometimes the weird creepy ai tiktok remix is better entertainment value than the original video
