A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...

I think you'll find that a first version of a book from ancient old times is actually very cool, it would be like maybe even a hundred years old and that's so retro and vintage.

I’ve seen references to Bad Apple a few times, and have absolutely zero idea what it is. Maybe a song? An anime song? Idk. My gut tells me I’d feel insane from hearing it explained.

there's a famous independent video game series made by one guy, called Touhou. it has incredible music and is a series of excellent bullet hell shooters. for decades people have been making remixes of the music, there's literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of remixes at this point, entire cover bands and albums. one of the most famous tracks is called Bad Apple from one of the oldest games in the series from the 90s.

someone made a stylish black and white animation set to a catchy song remix of the theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtutLA63Cp8&hd=1

people started putting that black and white video onto all sorts of things, including one person who cut parts of apples into the shape of each frame of animation of the video and animated it that way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywy-OwHejfs&hd=1

and it has persisted since as kind of a background meme, resurging occasionally when people do poo poo like that, or like, a rad english cover

there is nothing reprehensible about touhou. it is a game series about girls in frilly dresses shooting fireworks at each other and then having drinking parties afterwards, set to impeccable music written by a man who loves his drink and cannot draw. allow it into your soul
