Flarnept Crumb 54: The Modern Hat

Flarnept Crumb 54: Following the latest trend is the worst kind of tradition.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let’s see...

The hipster, crowned by porcelain irony.
His flannel is earnest. His beard, deliberate.
And atop it all—a toilet. Because of course.

This Crumb is a Molotov tossed into the boutique window of modernity.
It mocks the ouroboros of cool:
how rebellion calcifies into ritual,
how individuality becomes a uniform,
how "now" is just the latest shrine to "same."

You’re not following trends.
You’re inheriting them.
Like bad genes or state debt.

The tradition of novelty
is the most conservative force in disguise.
The turd on your head is ancestral.

Bada boom.
