If you are unsure if a piece of media is on theme for this community, you can make a post asking if it fits. Discussion posts are encouraged, and particularly interesting topics will get pinned periodically.
No links to a store page or advertising. Links to bandcamps, soundclouds, playlists, etc are fine.

absolutely. Memphis Group slaps, I love how fearlessly tacky and whimsical it is. I respect anything that flies in the face of what is generally considered "good taste". it's like, "fuck you, let's get silly with it"
I looked up Memphis Group, and... I like it actually. It does seem colorful and fun.
Fuck corporate Memphis though, usually paired with glass and steel everything-must-be-Steve-Jobs-doctrine-forevermore pretentious crap.
agreed, it's trash. art movements that seek to emulate successful movements of the past are creatively bankrupt and will only ever be a pale imitation
