I know it’s so stupid but I love this sort of “ insert wrong people/band and add name of the band” memes:

There aren't enough Ornette memes

the night is young

There’s a party next door but judging by the mix of late 90s/early 2000s jams, they’ll wrap it by ten.

I'm forty soon and I feel this :(

Been laughing about this all day

lol, that's great

"the idea is..." lol highly conceptual new work by acknowledged art rock masters radiohead

Yeah it's perfect. A friend actually did a quick video of himself singing it while accompanying himself on piano to 'Everything In Its Right Place", which was very funny. But I'm just imagining Radiohead busting out a proper Cockney knees-up as a high-concept response to the utter state of the UK at the moment

Or, like, The Tourist, but Thom intermittently dispersed with a jolly CHEERS! every few lines

“Let down and sleeping around!”

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
'Ave a banana!

It's been pointed out recently that (anecdotally, at least) a lot of musicians marketed as "indie" come from privileged backgrounds.

I can't really tell who the people in the picture are though. Iggy Azalea, mid-period Edward Furlong, and mayyyyyyybe Grimes?

One of them is Samia, I think.

And Julian Casablancas?

I think maybe it's done in a purposefully dank (?) style

but yeah quite a few indie musicians with famous parents, no big shock but there were some thinkpieces on it a while ago

explaining this meme is not helping

i liked it, corrs. i think memes are the perfect format for calling out privilege: a light roast.

xp President Keyes, looks like you're right on both counts. Person 1 is still a mystery participant though.

And yeah, I like the idea behind the meme - I just genuinely didn't recognize the people!

The meme would be more effective if one weren't a (non-indie) musician whose parentage was a hot topic 20+ years ago, and the other two unrecognizable

Samia is the daughter of the actress from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Not sure how much that helped career, but whatever.

her

I think the 3rd one is King Princess, whose great-great grandfather was a founder of Macy's

Always ask a man his salary

I've heard of asking for a man's credit score on a date before.

Calling out “nepo babies” is a thing among my 21yo’s online circle

good. bout time somebody started questioning how rigged the game is.

Samia is also really good so who cares?

I’m gonna be That Guy… a joke like this hinges on specificity:

xxp I hate to be humorless in this thread and I actually dig the meme otherwise, but not loving putting "Insane" at the opposite end of the spectrum from "Good". Coulda gone with Bad Religion, Bad Company...

Isn’t it a play on “chaotic” though (I.e., as close as they can get to that)?
