Way back at the start of 2022, I wrote an essay on one of my favorite weirdo post-punk bands, DEVO, and how they took aim at consumer culture in their art and music yet were still subsumed by capitalism, their dissent commodified.

It seems oddly relevant now, as the birdsite collapses and we all recognize the #SmartPower it exerted on us.
