All my frustration with the (k-)pop penchant for "referencing", for bringing up more/at all complex concepts to make your shallow statements sound cooler and deeper when you don't really have anything of substance to say and just want to let your horde of adoring fans do all the lifting for you, has culminated with... G-Dragon's upcoming comeback being titled "Übermensch", I guess. Yes, gothic font on the tour poster included

#shrimp thoughts #every single song on this album could be arguing with nietzsche's concept in the most ferocious manner but it still wouldn't change #the fact that he's playing around with nazi imagery NOW. like actions words and symbols have meanings. what is his intention here?#what is he trying to invoke with this particular mix of words and symbols?#if it turns out that it was all about 'oooh but the nietzschean concept of ubermensch means that you strive to be better <3'#i'm going to start killing. an australian guy hums a japanese meme song on august the 15th and netizens eat him alive but then #a huge fully established artist does THIS and we're supposed to give him the benefit of doubt and not consider him the biggest dumbass #around. give me a fucking break i know pop music industry isn't cracking at the seams with aducated people but christ alive #...people on reddit are arguing that 'ubermensch' is not a word that's commonly associated with nazism because they haven't #heard of it so it must be only known in a handful of european countries. i'm going to go on a walk and breathe fresh air
