someone made these for a child so they could have fun. that’s its only purpose.
I love you contemporary art I love your extremely pretentious outlook on reality that you secretly only have because you have a crush on reality. I love your snoggy use of symbolism and metaphor and willingness to make people feel disturbed but at the same time your sense of whimsy and playfulness. I love your ability to piss people off and inadvertently contribute to contemporary art via intense disapproval.
I remember reading about this guy when I was researching about the early weeb fandom in the US. Like the article says he was one of the main organizers in the 1980s NYC anime fandom and iirc AMVs were directly inspired by the legendary Daicon III opening animation and Kaposztas’ desire to make similar music video style anime-mashup shorts but obviously didn’t have access to an animation team so he did the next best thing and used his video editing skills (I wouldn’t be surprised if he was an early fansubber)
I discussed this on the Twitter as well - in the early 2000′s AMV’s were the peak of ‘intense’ fandom in Anime, they were the highlight event of cons, people learned about shows from them, memes were born from them, etc. Its niche but Kaposztas is an innovator who played a role in building a slice of culture, its a real achievement.
Also love that the Kotaku article just puts the Evangelion/Tribute Mash-up AMV in at the end just because why not, that video dominates, definitely watch it.
just learned that the guy who wrote that classic circus theme was apparently named juicy fuck??
bet y’all doubted me huh
just want to shake op’s hand real quick for making me type the words “JUICY FUCK CIRCUS” into my search engine
Not to be callous I don’t feel bad for any of them. Billionaires will literally spend money on anything except the fucking taxes that they’re supposed to pay, and instead taxpayers of TWO COUNTRIES had their money spent looking for people who were dumb enough to pay 250k, THE PRICE OF A TWO/THREE BEDROOM HOUSE, to sit in an iron lung for 16 hours looking at a 720p screen of camera footage that you can view in HD for free. So fuck all of them, even the 19-year-old.
“But that’s a terrifying scenario” Sure, but I’m really not that inclined to be empathetic about it when the CEO fucked over everyone with his gross negligence to begin with.
since nobody is sourcing anything to do with the sub, here it is. this one is also true

the billionaire’s stepson also did jail time for stalking and sending death threats to a bunch of women in the EDM scene and threatening to shoot up music festivals. also you might think that he’s like in his early 20s and behaving like a freak but you’d be wrong. the incel attempted mass shooter blink-182 stan is 37 years old. he is also attempting to pull off a late 2000s pop punk haircut. in 2023. at 37 years old.
How can you call this a "dystopia" when shareholder value is as high as it's ever been?
this is the only based thing this man has ever done
