>>83901314>mfw people claim these didactic 'messages' are somehow the true point of the series, ignoring all the other bullshit that actually happens in the shorts I'm bored with this high school level analysis. Surreal and disorienting art exists to be experienced, a shock to the senses that invokes the cruelty of the human condition. It is not an elaborate disguise for a parenting lecture, you don't come out of one of the shorts thinking "Wow what a well-argued point, I learnt something today".
Yes, an absurdist and gory parody of children's education shows carries with it a suspicious and critical view of the genre. But these are ideas and feelings that inspire the creation of the art, along with influence from all the other genres and techniques they blend into the series, not some "hidden code" that everything else just exists to communicate.
I want to read analysis of DHMIS that actually delves into what it represents as a product of today's culture, what its genre inheritances are, why it's so popular and what we actually get out of watching these spoopy funny musical shorts. Not "it's about how you shouldn't restrict your child's internet!".
