Overflow culture year

[ad_1]

At least for one century, Nearly twoChin people in the world have been obsessed with the concepts of “high” and “low” culture: poetry and pop, ballet and B movies, opera and reality shows, people are forced to marry them and they just met. This dichotomy is endless. Although in recent years (urgently needed) the description of this snobbery has been opposed, there is also a third situation-something that does not exist in the continuum between high and low: “overflow” culture.

The amount of things that are produced, edited, and put on the Internet today cannot be overestimated.The contents of the cup are rolled over, and many things inside are inexplicable: a woman Pour oil on her and use the swing Turn her body into a wedding dress, The man saw his silhouette into a mattress for a prankAlthough these videos each have more than 100 million views (at least one requires a lot of money and time), no one talks about them-why are we talking about them? What is there to say? We ignore the absolute madness and stupidity of the content machine, because it mainly manifests as a flash of light one second before the eyeball before our finger flicks.

By definition, cultural writing must analyze some form of culture, and these videos are not culture, nor are they real—they are content.Although journalists around the world are now reporting on digital creativity, sometimes certain overlooked aspects of the content machine become strange enough or large enough to cause mainstream coverage (think about it) Elsa Gate, Or 5 minutes crafts’ “Bigger” eggs), we mostly ignore the overflow culture; we are used to draining. But sometimes we need to stop and take inventory. For the benefit of future historians, let’s review some of the things that attracted attention (if not attention) in 2021.

Since the birth of pizza, and the subsequent birth of pizza cutting tools, people have been asking a painful, scorching, and overwhelming question: a boy or a girl, who is better to cut pizza? In this stolen 35-second TikTok uploaded to the YouTube channel VS (unfortunately, the original TikToker has no signature), two videos of “girl” and “boy” sliced Margarita pizza are placed side by side. The slicing technique shown is almost the same; there are no punches; this is the end of the video.

Although the YouTube clip has been viewed more than 50 million times (7 million more than the latest music video uploaded to the Justin Bieber channel), the question of which gender is more suitable for pizza cutting is unfortunately still unanswered. Or, it may be a kind of performance art designed to show the meaninglessness of gender stereotypes. After all, are the slices of men and women different?

This is not a YouTube video. The content is a man hiding in a human-shaped hole in a mattress, covering himself with a bedding, and surprising his (maybe joking) girlfriend no Entertaining-when we all have so much time and emptiness to fill, how can we not? The logistics of this video is fascinating: is it a new mattress bought specifically for the 58-second editing? How did the owner of the Woody & Kleiny YouTube channel cut the mattress so neatly? Is anyone hired to do this work?

The problem continues. How did the mattress become scrapped? How can the problematic prankster justify this wanton waste? Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Is it worth it in the end?

Although the homogeneity of the Internet is getting higher and higher, Facebook content is still very unique. That is: In July this year, a social network released a video in which a person named Adley bent down in front of the camera, poured oil on her neck, and said: “This is my last resort because I can’t give it back. It’s about a wedding dress placed in front of her by two unidentified associates. After spraying a lot of Pam non-stick cooking spray on the lace material, our heroine pushes herself forward on the swing, and then jumps into a dress that she can obviously wear without lubrication or children’s playground.

This Types of fake CCTV recordings There are a lot of ads on Facebook, and the video also shows the husband interfering with the cheating wife. This video, uploaded by the Facebook page Sarcasm, is marked by the cartoon Chandler Bing, accompanied by intense music, and is covered with big red circles and bright yellow letters.Although the video has been viewed an incredible 410 million times, no one in the comments section seems to be particularly convinced of its authenticity-probably because the man whose “wife” cheated chose to lie next to the couple’s double bed Hide (why he doesn’t want to hide himself in Mattress? ). Facebook pages like this now often carry a disclaimer. The ironic content is: “Attention: All videos on this page are for entertainment purposes only. All characters, events, and ideas are fictitious. They are imitations and cannot be used on Try it in real life.” You are warned.

Combining the tingling pleasure of ASMR with the traditional pleasure of cooking editing is nothing new, but this 4:20 minute video is disturbing in terms of emphasizing the squashing and squashing of raw chicken. Unlike the deliberately provocative food videos on the Internet, this recipe is fairly standard and harmless (and the ingredient list is actually included in the video description!). Still, even if it spreads on the YouTube account Lieblingsrezepte (“favorite recipe”), you can’t imagine the executives of the TV cooking channel will accept this suppression. The situation will only get worse in the recently uploaded video,”If you cook chicken in this way, you will be surprised by the result!“(Spoiler: Hair dryer involved.)

A woman and a girl are sitting at a table, and in front of everyone there is a bowl containing cut hot dogs and spaghetti; the woman asks the girl to bring her a drink, and when the child leaves, the woman takes it from the girl’s The hot dog flakes were stolen from the bowl. You – and the other 224 million viewers – may think you have mastered her greedy motives, but wait! Then the women exchange bowls, so the girl has more hot dogs than her-this is the best altruism. But wait! The lady now tossed in the spaghetti bowl in front of her and found two full-size unchopped hot dogs hidden inside. It is impossible to write the conclusion, because there is no conclusion. The content ends simply. Another video is as follows.
