There is nothing that Artnet's Art Critic Ben Davis likes better than finding a name for a phenomenon that's all around him, but that he doesn't have a name for yet. The writer and theorist Nadia Asparouhova has a new book out that offered exactly this. It's called Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading. We tend to think of cultural influence as being tied to popularity and visibility. What Asparouhova wants us to pay attention to is a whole other class of cultural stuff whose influence is linked instead to being hard to find or difficult to understand. These are what she calls “anti-memes.” It's the opinion puts you at odds with some people but really connects you to others, so you're careful how you share it. It's the artwork that looks like nonsense to the majority of the audience but is full of intricate meaning to fans. The theory of "anti-memes” is about how some of our most intense cultural investments are below the radar—not because they haven't been found yet, but because that's how they are built. All this touches on themes that a lot of artists have been thinking about. Asparouhova's book, in fact, is published by a group of artists and thinkers called the Dark Forest Collective, named after writer Yancey Strickler's idea of the internet as a “dark forest,” a space that has become so contentious and commercial that the smart people retreat to more private digital spaces for authenticity and cachet. Asparouhova's book helps focus in on the question of how difficult ideas and art that's not built to go viral survive and find real fans now.

Coucou everyone!In this episode, we dive into the world of the Paninari - a flashy, fashion obsessed youth subculture that emerged in 1980s Milan. Named after the sandwich shop (Al Panino in Milan) they frequented, Paninari were known for their love of designer brands, American fast food, scooters, and synth-pop. We explore how this movement reflected Italy's shifting cultural landscape during a time of economic boom and American influence. Cat then tells us about the some papal drama - a dead corpse on trial anyone? Weirder things have happened but this might be up there!

*This is the Free Content version of my interview with Dr. John E. Browning. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 1 ‘Gates of Argonath' member, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Dr. John E. Browning. A professor in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, John Edgar Browning, Ph.D. has contracted or published 20 academic and popular trade books as well as over 100 shorter works on subjects that cluster around cultural studies, critical media literacy, Dracula, vampires, monstrosity, and horror. Included among his work in film and media studies is his decade-and-a-half-long ethnographic fieldwork with the human or real vampire subculture (a topic in which there are perhaps five scholars worldwide). In addition to academic venues, Browning has published on the real vampire subculture in public forums such as The Atlantic (2015) and Discover Magazine (2015 and 2018), and his unique expertise in this area has helped facilitate several public appearances as a guest scholar on, or service as a consultant for, over two dozen television and streaming networks, professional podcasts, and radio programs, including Discovery channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth's History of Horror, History channel, Disney+, Netflix, Discover Magazine's “It's Only Science” podcast, Ripley's Believe It or Not, NPR, The Howard Stern Show network, BBC Radio, RTÉ—Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Georgia Public Broadcasting, and SLATE among others. In this interview, John and I discuss his research into the Real Vampire Community. He talks about his motivation to begin looking into this subculture, as well as what he's learned over the years. As this topic somewhat overlaps with my own research into the Otherkin community, I take the opportunity to ‘compare notes' so to speak, and ask questions to gain more clarity on this group. John also discusses to what degree contemporary expressions of the vampire in popular culture have influenced the real vampire community, and how his research has contributed to changing perceptions of this subculture. He talks about his term ‘defiant culture' as it relates to people who have been labeled ‘Other' or ‘deviant' and also mentions how his research has helped forensic professionals that deal with crimes that seem, on the surface, to involve people who label themselves ‘vampires'. We also touch upon the Temple of the Vampire, a group that is viewed as a religious organization, and how this group relates to the larger vampire community in the US. PROGRAM NOTESJohn Edgar Browning - Savannah College of Art and DesignForeword to The Palgrave Handbook of the Vampire (ed.

John Fischer was making "Jesus Music" in the mid-1960s - before it was even a "thing." At a recent live event in Fullerton California, JJT invited Fischer to join the conversation and talk about those early countercultural days and how it all came together. Before there was an industry, a genre, or even a movement, there were kids with guitars and a desire to experience God in a meaningful, tangible way. Fischer went on to become one of the accidental innovators of a new style of music. But when the counterculture became a subculture - and a movement became a market - he never lost that fire in his belly. What might the counterculture of the 60s have to tell us about our troubled times today - and what might a new Jesus Movement look - and sound - like if it was to break out now?  Find John Fischer's website HERE.  For full Show Notes (include a list of the songs featured on this episode) visit TrueTunes.com/Fischer or click HERE.

Once upon a time—not so long ago—it was fashionable to declare that print would only endure if it became a luxury object. That forecast now feels less like speculation and more like prophecy. Today, conversation tends to orbit a different anxiety—the ceaseless deluge of content, the flattening effect of algorithmic consumption, and a hunger not just for beauty but for discernment. In that context, Beyond Noise feels less like a magazine and more like an antidote. Conceived by Sarah Richardson as a biannual publication with the weight of a collectible and the spirit of a cultural artefact, it resists the pace of now in favor of something slower, deeper, and yes, more exacting. During the release of the third issue, Richardson joins us to unpack the why, the how, and the why now of her quietly radical vision. “Even if you don't agree with me, I'd rather build something that reflects a clear point of view. I think people are craving that right now.” - Sarah Richardson Episode Highlights: Sketching in the Halls of the V&A - Sarah reflects on her early creative instincts, growing up in central London and spending weekends sketching historical costumes in museums with her culture-loving mother. Fashion Through Film and Family - Watching old movies with her stylish grandmother becomes one of her earliest memories of fashion, setting the tone for a lifelong love of cinematic style and storytelling. From Window Dressing to Styling - Her time at Joseph and Browns led her from visual merchandising to understanding styling as a career path—guided by early encounters with Venetia Scott and a pivotal comment from her father. The Subcultures of London Past - Sarah shares how London's subcultural richness shaped her worldview and speaks to the shift of that visible diversity in today's more commercial fashion landscape. Bridging New York and London - With offices in both cities, Sarah discusses the cultural tension and creative energy between New York's optimism and London's rebelliousness—and how Beyond Noise brings the best of both worlds together. The Birth of Beyond Noise -  After years of experience across fashion, retail, and publishing, Sarah speaks about her desire to build a platform that reflects her vision and gives space to other creatives. Why Two Volumes Not One - She unpacks the decision to split Beyond Noise into two distinct volumes—Beyond as a purely visual experience, and Noise as a place for culture, commentary, and deeper reading. Editorial Freedom and Artist Trust - Sarah emphasizes the importance of giving creatives true freedom and explains why the magazine avoids the tight constraints often found in traditional publishing models. Sustainability Versus Technology - She responds to the tension between environmental responsibility and technological advancement, expressing optimism about innovation and the belief that embracing progress is key to finding solutions. What's Contemporary Now - Sarah shares her view on what defines the moment with reflections on social awareness, technological change, and a growing connection to the environment—all anchored by a deep belief in creative optimism.

In this insightful episode of What Shapes Us, Masekela sits down with multidisciplinary artist Chase Hall (@hallchase), whose work challenges perceptions of race, history, and identity through a deeply personal and thought-provoking lens. From his unconventional journey in the art world to his love of surfing, skating, and snowboarding, Chase explores how subcultures and movement have shaped his creative process. He reflects on his early influences, the intersections of Black identity and outdoor culture, and how coffee became a medium for storytelling in his groundbreaking paintings. Whether you're an art lover, a creative thinker, or someone fascinated by the collision of culture and history, this episode is a must-listen.Follow: Chase Hall: ⁠@hallchase⁠ Selema Masekela: ⁠@selema⁠#WhatShapesUs #ChaseHall #ArtAndIdentity #CulturalNarratives #SelemaMasekela #BlackArtists #ArtThatSpeaks #SkateCulture #Surfing #Subcultures #StorytellingThroughArt

This weeks subject is spooky cartoons. It was a backup topic as Cameron and Noah ending up being preoccupied this week. I sorta went in and out of the subject as the show went on and took some comments from the audience. So it's a kinda strange episode as far as structure. It's a bit of a ramble. Hope you enjoy regardless.

This episode of Cruising Altitude features a conversation with Joey Wilkerson, Sr. Manager, M&A Employee Experience and Change Management at Cisco, hosted by Nicole Alvino, CEO and co-founder of Firstup. Together, Nicole and Joey discuss strategies for fostering an engaging and purposeful workplace, focusing on internal talent movement, onboarding, and integrating new employees post-acquisition. Joey shares insights on creating a connected employee experience through personalization, leveraging AI, and aligning with Cisco's culture. The conversation highlights successful practices in employee engagement, cultural integration, and future trends in employee experience.Quotes* ”We have to always think about ourselves and internal talent movement as competing for talent across the company. We want to encourage internal talent movement. To be successful at that, it's important for leaders to understand the experience for the employee, while unique, must be consistent to some degree.”*” When I think about what's coming next [in Cisco's] continued evolution, where employees are really expecting this kind of consumer based experience across the organization. And we're going to have to keep that in mind moving forward.“*” One of the things that we have seen at Cisco in the last two years is a more critical eye on privacy. What does the organization as my employer have access to in terms of what I'm doing, what I'm clicking on? And those two things will push against each other, I am afraid. In order for us to create that consumer-like experience, it requires understanding the behavior of the employee, which may not be as private as some may expect.”Time Stamps[00:38] Meet Joey Wilkerson, Sr. Manager, M&A Employee Experience and Change Management at Cisco[4:09] Joey's Role at Cisco[5:12] Understanding Cisco's Culture and Subcultures[6:31] Personalized Employee Experiences at Cisco[14:54] Leveraging AI for Employee Experience[18:34] The Splunk Acquisition: Challenges and Successes[23:04] Proudest Moments and Future Trends[31:13] Final Thoughts and Contact InformationLinksConnect with Joey on LinkedInLearn more about CiscoThanks to our friendsThis episode is brought to you by Firstup, the world's first intelligent communication platform.

First, Edim, the founder of the Well-Read Black Girl book club, grew up as the child of Nigerian immigrant parents searching for their way into American identity. As part of that journey, Edim found herself through reading. Her memoir, Gather Me, is a coming-of-age story told through her encounters with books. In today's episode, Edim speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about the early influence of stories such as Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, reading as an act of defiance, and a trove of letters that helped the author reconnect with her father. We then hear from comedian Moshe Kasher, whose memoir Subculture Vulture is organized around six scenes he's inhabited throughout his life. After deciding to get sober, Kasher accessed community and recovery in expected and unexpected places, from Alcoholics Anonymous to the rave scene. In today's episode, he joins NPR's Rachel Martin to discuss healing core wounds, the relationship between Burning Man and the Jewish Days of Awe, and the responsibility of being a comedian today.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

If you never made your FB profile picture that “I made you a cookie, but I eated it :(“ meme in 2008, were you even living? In this episode, Hannah and Maia recall the long lost emo subculture - which took the world by storm in the mid aughts and fell quickly into obscurity thereafter. Emo emerged as a musical non-genre from the DIY hardcore punk scenes of San Fran and Detroit, and two decades later  it would transform into completely unrecognizable pop punk radio hits resounding in every mall you ever walked into. But thanks to the no-holds-barred, cost-effective utopias that were MySpace and LiveJournal, it seemed the emo subculture was stronger than ever - as socially-anxious teens bonded over their love for Pete Wentz and their own self-loathing. What could possibly go wrong? Are subcultures a form of teenage sovereignty? And do we have Twilight because of 9/11? Listen, for these pressing questions and more. Tangents include: Hannah's parents' perfect marriage, Orson Welles vs. Woody Allen beef, and Maia's online relationship with Gerard Way.  Get a whole month of great cinema FREE: mubi.com/rehash Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic SOURCES: Peter C.

An episode that breaks the mold!Here's what's to come in this episode: * We kick off this episode by discussing Courtney Love and her candid acknowledgment of her autism in a 1994 Rolling Stone interview. While she's open about her experiences, some of her language is problematic—for instance, referring to non-speaking autism as "introverted."* However, we delve into how many of the judgments and perceptions surrounding Courtney Love may be rooted in ableism, influenced by her autism diagnosis.* We explore the inherent connection between musical subcultures and autism, highlighting how these spaces can become a refuge for those who feel ostracized elsewhere.* Next, we dive into the powerful intersection between punk ethos and neurodivergence, unpacking how these two worlds resonate deeply with shared values and traits. Punk celebrates nonconformity, rejecting the rigid societal expectations and hierarchies that often marginalize neurodivergent individuals. It embraces the idea that standing up for what you believe in—no matter how unconventional—is a strength, not a flaw.* This ethos aligns with the autistic experience of navigating a world that frequently misunderstands or undervalues difference. Punk fosters a sense of belonging by creating a community for misfits—a safe haven for those who've been excluded or overlooked in more traditional spaces. In this way, punk and neurodivergence together challenge norms, celebrate authenticity, and amplify the voices of those too often silenced.* Realizing you are neurodivergent doesn't erase your punk identity—it deepens it. Subculture isn't just about aligning with a particular music scene or fashion; it's a gateway to discovering and embracing your most authentic self.* We also discuss how loud music, often a hallmark of punk, can be soothing and sensory-stimulating for many of us on the autism spectrum.* Punk and punk-era band names are often defined by connotations of violence, aggression, sex, fetishism, turmoil, and eruption, with many even referencing disability. This rebellious language reflects the feelings of being "othered"—a sensation that resonates deeply with the autistic experience. Just as punk challenges societal norms and embraces marginalization, the association with disability within punk culture highlights how both the neurodivergent community and the subculture at large confront rejection, discrimination, and the struggle to be understood.* Punk intertwines with the refusal to be seen through the neurotypical lens, rejecting the pressure to conform to societal expectations. It's about resisting the influence of outside forces and voices that seek to define who you are, instead embracing self-expression and authenticity on your own terms.* We also discuss how body modifications, like tattoos and piercings, play into this idea of reclaiming autonomy and defying societal norms. For many in the punk and neurodivergent communities, these mods serve as a powerful way to express individuality, resist outside judgment, and celebrate personal identity on their own terms.* We discuss how autism is often framed through neurotypical-centric lenses, such as infantilization, pity, and the "superhero" trope, which limit our agency and self-expression. Punk, however, challenges these narratives by reclaiming our power and refusing to let society define or diminish us.* Punk embraces an anti-aesthetic that celebrates imperfections, rejecting the need for polished or conventional beauty standards. This ties directly to autism, as both challenge societal expectations of "perfection" and instead embrace authenticity, quirks, and individuality.* The culture of punk is, at its core, authenticity without apology—and that's exactly what autistic people desire: spaces and cultures where they can be their true selves without the need to mask or conform.“When I talk about being introverted, I was diagnosed autistic. At an early age, I would not speak. Then I simply bloomed. My first visit to a psychiatrist was when I was like three. Observational therapy, TM for Tots, you name it, I've been there.” - Courtney Love (the one and only!!)“You [an autistic person] can't just go into a space and say, ‘yes, I am perfectly at home here.'” No, you have to change it to fit your needs. And that's fairly punk, because punk doesn't show up and say, ‘yes, this is acceptable.' No, we are going to rage against the machine.” - Matt“Yes, we want you, you misfit toys, to fit in perfectly here. You are a part of our merry band of autistics and you are perfect just the way you are.” - Angela“Yes, punk is saying we are different and that's enough, like we are enough and this f*****g sucks at the same time. It's not saying, like, ‘fix me', necessarily. It's saying, ‘this is my identity.'” - Angela Did you notice the connection between punk, subculture, and the autistic experience?

“Bill, Bulk and the Body Buddies” (May 20, 2007) Can one illustration of a buff Bill Dauterive change your entire life in an instant? Well, for some people, yeah. This King of the Hill outing manages to stuff in a whole lot of imagery that will be familiar to a certain gay subculture. It's inadvertent — and specifically this episode also features explicitly gay characters as a counterpoint to the rude, crude muscle bros, but there's plenty to talk about nonetheless in Bill's adventures through body transformation. Listen to our previous King of the Hill episodes here.  Follow Drew, Glen and Tony on Bluesky!
