the ebb and flow of tropes gaining and losing authenticity is kinda fascinating tbh
like, something like this works to communicate a certain idea or aesthetic, effectively enough that people start to emulate it, until at some point it becomes cliche
I think this happens not only for skits and visual shorthand’s, but also for mannerisms of personas. Bobby Burns made some great content breaking this phenomenon down before he moved to LA with Shane Dawson and started doing rap videos. He had a real weird arc.
