      I read that it started out as a rebellious style

      Liberalism started as a rebellious ideology, way back in the day. Class struggle is cyclical and liberalism is trying its best to gum up the turning this time around, but long ago it was the cool hip rebellion... and seems to still believe it is, judging by the lanyard warriors that still stan for it.

      absolutely. Memphis Group slaps, I love how fearlessly tacky and whimsical it is. I respect anything that flies in the face of what is generally considered "good taste". it's like, "fuck you, let's get silly with it"

        I looked up Memphis Group, and... I like it actually. It does seem colorful and fun.

        Fuck corporate Memphis though, usually paired with glass and steel everything-must-be-Steve-Jobs-doctrine-forevermore pretentious crap.

          agreed, it's trash. art movements that seek to emulate successful movements of the past are creatively bankrupt and will only ever be a pale imitation
