      I have no idea what it means to say the curtains are blue anymore.

      At first, I thought it was meant to poke fun at people who over analyze or really reach when discussing literature, but I don't think it means that.

      Can someone explain?

            Or also, if the author didn't want to draw attention to the curtains, they wouldn't have mentioned them!

          So it's used to describe people who over analyze but also people who don't read into media at all (example: the curtains are just blue, and that has no meaning)?

            it might help to think if it like "the curtains are just blue!" being anti-over analysis vs "tHe CuRtAiNs ArE jUSt BlUe!!!" being anti-anti- over analysis

      Advertising, or "capitalist propaganda" as the kids call it, is famously non-political and incites the audience to no action or thought that could possibly influence the structures of power we've surrounded ourselves with.
