i dont mean to be rude or anything but conflating surreal memes to dadaism is...kinda inaccurate--its like comparing apples to like, zucchini

dadaism is a direct response to the chaos of WWI and the permanent changes it wrought onto europe, it challenged the traditional values of art and what they stood for in a landscape where such traditional values meant being blindly supportive of a war which killed millions +

and traumatized countless others. it was essentially a commentary on how such mindsets were destructive and dadaists wanted to express their frustrations through this early brand of surrealism

surreal memes arent really a response to anything. theyre just memes really!

yw!! :D dadaism is an interest of mine ngl
