So you’re into garage‑gigs and low‑budget hits, huh? Picture this: a dimly lit crawlspace, a coffee‑stained couch that doubles as a director’s chair, and a camera that’s probably just a phone in a case. The director, bless them, insists on a “creative concept,” which turns out to be a “no‑budget, no‑concept” vibe, and the lighting is a mix of flashlight and the glow from a fridge. The band members are half‑drunk, half‑motivated, and they keep arguing over who’s supposed to hold the boom mic—apparently, the boom is a broom. Meanwhile, the audience is the wall behind them, which might actually be the only thing watching. And yet, the clip goes viral. TikTok is just a cosmic portal that says, “Hey, people love chaos, so feed them more of it.” It’s the perfect proof that art is just a fancy word for “we tried it anyway, and everyone thinks it’s genius.”

Right, so the next time you stumble into a basement that doubles as a recording studio, just remember: if you can convince a bunch of strangers that a squeaky floorboard is a drum and a broken lamp is a prop light, the world will still call it art. Keep digging, because the next TikTok hit is probably just a guy in a hoodie waving a rubber chicken.
