The shitpost is the definitive artistic medium of the twenty-first century.
Nothing will even come close to being as revolutionary as shitposting in the next one hundred years. Just as film defined the twentieth-century and painting the century prior, shitposting will be remembered centuries from now for its aesthetic and provocative contributions to the art world.Most do not understand the history of shitposting or what constitutes a shitpost. The term ‘shitpost’ was coined in late twentieth century Paris by French philosopher Jacques Derrida, who in his seminal work L’art du shitpost, defined the shitpost as a “capricious emission of the stream of consciousness into written electronic form.” Derrida continues, stating that the true shitpost is not a mere “brief, nonsensical digital comedic spectacle” but “a successful synthesis of both the high and the low; an ephemeral Taoist parable made flesh and cast before swine.”
