Is whip it a good song or just a meme? When I listen to

both.

Anything can be a meme if you really believe it.

>tfw life is a meme

To quote Mark Mothersbaugh, "It's not about masturbation, it's not about S&M. Sorry, people."

Actually Whip It was dedicated to Jimmy Carter and urging him to tackle the country's problems.

That's almost exactly what the term was originally used for

Memetic genes in creatures, if I'm rememberingbcorrectly

No you don't remember correctly.
Genes and Memes are two different things.
A meme is a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition and replication in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes

What meme today mean is totally different tho

Meme. Synthpop era Devo sucks.

They totally forgot what they were supposed to be as a band then, but I think they'd also run out of songwriting ideas by that point.

>>68400401
This. However their best song was made in that era (Modern Life) and it's a bonus b-side song. Wtf?

>>68400401
Oh No It's Devo was pretty great, and even Shout was pretty good (minus "Puppet Boy")
They were going to make a The Men Who Make The Music style movie for Shout, but they got dropped from their label and lost funding and then Alan Myers quit the band anyway.

"I Desire" was just John Hinckley's poetry, but in hindsight, it's pretty awesome
