Artists using other Artists beats or lyrics
Many artists use past artist’ beats or lyrics and incorporate them into their songs. People always say “He/She stole their flow” or “He/She stole their bars”. When in reality that artist is just paying tribute or giving respect to the artist who came up with the beat or lyric.

Mislabeled Political Twitter Trolls to Political Protesters
In my work on trying to uncover what trolling is, who labels it, and who is mislabeled as a troll. I have come across several parallels to the real world and I believe that the attributed I described a typical mislabeled troll with is shared with protesters. Both parties involved attempt desperate ways to grab attention for various political purposes. These shared attributes between genres provide much leeway to translate smoothly between the two.
Political Twitter Fights to Child-Like Arguments
With more and more Twitter fights breaking out these days one would imagine argument styles would have evolved into a more intellectual debate, but no. [...]
Similar movie posters are plagiarism or tribute
Thousands of movies are released every year around the world, and the design style of each movie poster is closely related to the type of film. Even in a creative design world, it is inevitable that there are references. These similar movie posters may be really imitated, maybe just coincidence, but in any case, it’s fun. The looking of some movie posters in recent years is very similar, whether it is composition, color or style, even the text on the poster is similar. Most of these posters are interpreted as tribute to a classic movie but looking at too many such posters will naturally feel boring, so I want to know if the designers of these posters are not inspired or really pay tribute a movie, or other reasons makes these posters so similar.

SpongeBob SquarePants –> Actually an adult cartoon?
I work with children up to age 12 and we regularly watch movies and cartoons during one portion of our day. Growing up I was always allowed to watch SpongeBob and my parents never had an issue with it. However, I noticed recently at work when we would watch a cartoon with the kids, some of them told us they are not allowed to watch SpongeBob because their parents tell them it is inappropriate (I was shocked because I didn’t understand why… until I really thought about it). SpongeBob lives in “Bikini Bottom”, there are characters named “Mr. Krabs” and “Sandy Cheeks” who live in bikini bottom, the newspaper for the town is called the “Bikini Bottoms Examiner” and I’m sure there are many more adult hints that people overlook or miss.

Instagram Posts ———— Realistic Imperfect Posts
I’ve recently noticed on Instagram that a lot of the pictures people post look almost too “perfect.” The people (or food) in the post are posed really well. Also, due to filters and cropping their photos look pretty flawless even the candid ones. Because of this people give off the impression that they have this perfect life through Instagram. However, this perfect life is more likely created by putting in a lot of effort in taking several photos involving different poses, filters, cropping and even apps like Instabeauty. People basically create this “perfect” fake life. I think it would be interesting to translate these usual “perfect” photos into more realistic images. [...]
Inspirational Quotes to Uninspirational Quotes-
As I have been analyzing the Inspirational Quotes genre, I have come to the conclusion that most quotes are not inspirational. The inspiration is subjective and mostly derived from wide applicability. There is no complexity in these quotes and mostly anyone can relate to the quotes because of they are super unspecific. My idea is to create a series of inspirational quote parodies. These quotes which I will create will highlight the ineffectiveness of inspirational quotes and the fact that they truly are not very motivational. The new quotes will retain the main ideas/values described in the quotes but will expose them for their generality and lack of originality. [...]
