Physical culture peaked in around the early to mid 2000s. After that point all culture-- in the sense that we understand it, as some linearly morphing and evolving beast-- transferred to online. Online is now the hub of culture. The digital (or psychic) world is now dominant over the physical world of entertainment, literature, research and thought. And the internet has supplanted the "real-world" as the center hub for culture and its cancer-esque metastasis. This is why many people see culture today and whine about it being a regurgitated version of the past or claim that culture is dead or say things about how things aren't as unique as they were twenty years ago. It's because they are looking only at the physical realm and not the digital realm, which now dominates.
Well said and very well written. I (regrettably) admit that at first I found the meme funny. But once the edits came in the truth became crystal clear. They were viscerally off-putting. A meme that cannot be organically memed further is a bad omen and likely of malignant origin. Also, upon closer inspection, the first pass at "shroomjack" has these artistic strokes that could just as easily belong to a creature in the Necronomicon - they are extremelt atypical to any other Wojak edit.
Of course, Ironybros are still head over heels with it, as you mentioned "ironically" worshipping the creature and spreading it far and wide (as is the nature of most contemporary demon worshippers - "dude it's just a joke bro!").
