Featured Article - Abbey Road

Abbey Road

Abbey Road, released 26 September 1969 is the 11th album released by the Beatles. It is the last album that all the Beatles participated on before they all got sick and tired of John Lennon's villanous, Japanese, greedy souled, backstabbing Waifu Yoko Ono trying to run the show and broke up just after their final album Let It Be released. The album is mostly known for the George Harrison megahit Something and the Timothy Leary inspired song Come Together by John Lennon that is probably better known by most as a cover from Aerosmith.

Musically it is well received but it is best known for starting the pre-internet IRL meme of people visiting England and recreating the iconic album cover to send home to friends and family as a postcard when the pictures were developed. More recently it is known for all the butthurt One Direction started with Beatles fans when they copied the classic album cover in 2015 and claimed that they were "More Popular Than The Beatles".
Get it. In a March 1966 interview with The London Evening Standard John Lennon claimed "The Beatles Were More Popular Than Jesus" so by saying One Direction is more popular than the Beatles you are saying they are ultimately more popular than Jesus. Such clever word play.

You don't need to know the Beatles to know the Abbey Road Meme because the Abbey Road album cover instantly became a meme in 1969 when the Album was first released because of the simplicity and candidness of the image. Anyone could have taken it. It's another one of those images like Eddie Adams' award winning photograph Saigon Execution that has been burnt into our collective psyche.

Featured Article - Vaporwave

Vaporwave

Vaporwave may or may not exist as an established art form or means of expression. Vaporwave works against itself to provide entertainment; the boundaries of irony are irrelevant here.

Vaporwave is said to be inspired by or similar to "sea-punk," however this is up in the air. The concept of Vaporwave is often considered to be commentary on the inevitable collision of corporate commercialism with what many consider pop culture, although this is ALREADY HAPPENING with corporations trying to hijack memes for commercial purposes OTI. Most Vaporwave consists of chopped and screwed 80s music, and slowed down elevator music that only hipsters would listen to otherwise. Popular Vaporwave artists include laserdisc visions, Vektroid, and MACINTOSH PLUS, who all happen to be the same person.

Featured Article - Rap Genius

RapGenius.com^✡ rapgenius, formerly known as RapExegesis.com is the result after Wikipedia' s and Post-it-mark's heated unprotected lovemaking session. This unholy bastardization would grow into Rap Geniusfounded in 2009 by a group of Yale^✡ trustfunders during the height of an Adderall binge. Rap Genius presents itself as a self-declared guide to "the meaning of rap, R&B, and soul lyrics" which allows anyone to provide their explanations of popular hip-hop song lyrics. In addition to hip-hop and rap, Rap Genius later created sections dedicated to deciphering rock and poetry from at least 100 years ago. The sites worst enemy is the userbase itself which exclusively consists of furries. They have merely filled their lives with BDSM jiffing so it is only expected that they overanalyze or completely misinterpret what successful artists have to say.

Featured Article - Ian Watkins

Ian Watkins (aka Ian Wantkids) is a pedophilic, bisexual sheepfucker and former lead-vocalist of hipster outfit Lostprophets. Despite a relatively successful music career Watkins was unable to suppress the demons that lurked deep within his psyche so embarked upon on a prolonged mission to abuse as many children as he could persuade mentally unstable female members of his fanbase to afford him access to. His popularity allowed him to escape justice for some considerable time but in the end his public downfall inevitably came and he was brutally exposed as having conspired with others to insert his penis into the rectum of a 1 year old boy.

Featured Article - Audiosurf

Audiosurf is a game that simulates the effects of the drug, LSD. The main point of Audiosurf is to basically "ride" the music that you listen to. The game automatically graphs out how the song will be and calculates how hard it will be. Then, after the level is completed, the score will be posted on the scoreboards. This causes much drama due to the amount of cheaters that mess up the scores for everyone. The top songs that have been played to recently are by the Jewness Brothers and Dragonforce.

The developers of the game were so arrogant about the game that they named their team of developers "BestGameEver". This is misleading though due to the amount of fail the game has.
