Why does being “unhinged” resonate so deeply with so many today? Why does it seem that the more "insane" a person acts, the more they become adopted as "relatable icons" by society and within meme culture? In this video, we'll dive into the growing fascination with unhinged characters and moments in pop culture, exploring the societal and personal pressures that make them so cathartic and relatable. We’ll discuss how female and societal rage stems from growing inequalities using the characters "Pearl" and "Patrick Bateman" and how their neurotic moments can feel relatable and appropriate in our modern neoliberal world. We'll also talk about the role of economic disparities, social media’s negative algorithms, hyper-individualism, how these help foster isolation and mental health struggles, and lastly how they are then reflected in popular culture and memes.
