Shitposts and memes are the essence of the Renaissance of Pop-culture in the 21th century!

Are they not the foundation upon which the internets is built these days?

I think shitposting is a art if it is done well. The shitpost itself is not the art.

I feel this way about a lot of modern/abstract art -- the bullshit things the 'artist' comes up with to explain what their piece is about is really what makes or breaks the piece, not usually the actual skills/composition itself.

shitposting is a art

also, no

There are plenty of instances of shitposting in the realm of fine arts. Take John Cage and his song of nothing, for instance.

'Renaissance' is a strange way to say 'utter collapse.'

Is this art?

Here's your yearly reminder that referencing 4chan shit all the time outside of 4chan is really, really lame. You're lame.

@Awson

You're forgetting that 4chan shit has already broken into real-life politics post election. We're all fucked either way. Nothing worse is being added to the shit we got already, so might as well ride along with it.

And along the way maybe piss off some people for normalizing their sacred memes.

[Awson]

no, you might as well NOT ride along with it

[Dinh AaronMk]

There is no point in defending what has already been lost.

[Awson]

Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify acting retarded.

ok friend

It's fine. In some dialects the A is silent.
