Hope you’re doing well and all that stuff! Anyways, I’ve been wanting to cut my hair for a really long time. My parents of course, won’t let me…..(which is why I’ve been waiting for some time haha) This is why I wrote this post to get my parents to agree to let me cut my hair. The deal is: If I can get 75,000 notes on this I can cut it. I REALLY WANT TO CUT IT. That’s why it would be great if you guys could spread this around and show other people. Signal boost this, like this, reblog this, LIKE AND REBLOG THIS, or even write a comment for me(which I’ll try to do my best and answer. That’s all and thanks!!
Update: Apparently, now the total I have to reach is 75,000 (that’s very bad, and big, I know)(They want to make this super hard so AHHHHx100)

it’s because reality is terrifying and our world’s dying, and our developmental years were spent in a constant state of using increasingly nonsensical humor to cope
It’s called the rise of neo-dadaism and the same thing happened during WWII
well that’s not concerning At All
time out hold up sweetheart let’s get it together before you wanna spread art historical misinformation
@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses has a spot on summary of the dada ideology; these artists reacted to the horrors and atrocities of WWI by embracing nonsense in a world that no longer seemed to make sense
but the period we’re in right now is decidedly not neo-dada! you know why? because neo-dada already happened, and not during WWII but during the 60s and 70s, through artists like robert rauschenberg, yves klein, yoko ono, and nam june paik.
what was going on in the 60s and 70s that might involve “terrifying” reality and “increasingly nonsensical” coping methods? the cold war! now the cold war is in much more recent memory,
but if you wanna talk about nonsensical coping methods among millennials? i would say “lol xD so random” culture is probably the best starting point, which is definitely post-cold war (knowyourmeme is giving me 2004 as a good benchmark date).
2004 is only three years after 2001 so this resurgence of dada thinking could easily be seen as initially a reaction to 9/11, and we can then trace the antics of the bush administration, the shift of the overton window, the rise of internet culture, the 2016 election, and the current political moment as developmental factors behind this current dada moment.
so since neo-dada already happened and this is definitely its own thing with its own factors, and since a big part of our dada is the influence of the internet on modernity, i posit that we start calling this e-dada or #dada
tl;dr: neo-dada is already taken, it happened in the 60s/70s, we’re doing our own kind of dada now
e-dada
dada kink
Is it too late to delete my tumblr?
it’s never too late
This is deep, concerning and yet heavily ironic, because right after the profound historical post comes…dada kink. This is an effect of e-dada
