On that Fisherspooner song Emerge, does he say “hypermedia critique” or “hyper mediocrity?.”
Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

Mediocrity. Their lyrics really aren’t deep enough to allow something as academic-sounding as “critique.” Excuse me while I kiss this guy…

It’s a shame too… I really had that song built up in my head as this clever sort of indictment of post-modern whatsit.
Hypermedia Critique:
You don’t need to emerge from nothing
You don’t need to tear away
I mean, y’know. Whatever that means anyway. Changing the first line to hypermediocrity sort of ruins it for me, I guess becasue I’m not sure who they’re addressing… is it themselves?
