"Simulacrum" is the perfect word for it. None of these posers making a fuss about a corporate logo have simmered a pot of of soup beans in their life.
I must admit I stole that partially from somebody else who mentioned the idea. Which also had me go 'indeed, that is a good word'
Was it the "Hyperreal Simulacrum" from the joe rogan takedown videos you linked in last weeks stubsack?
No somebody else. Hyperreal simulacrum is a bit of a different concept I think. Because that supersedes reality, this is just a weird sort of nostalgia.
