This has popped up in the wild a few times recently
Why
People reference hit song lyrics all the time. Really muddies discourse with other cultures, sometimes.
Interpreter: "Ok he said uh... hang on before I can translate that, do you know who Hannah Montana is?"
Not just song lyrics, but any piece of media
rant
This is horribly rampant issue on Reddit. Swaths of comments reduced to three-word dialogues from movies that even most Americans may not have seen.While it might be acceptable in a community specific to that piece of media, it always comes across as lazy everywhere else.
A simple link to a relevant clip or snippet would help contextualise the reference, but if commenters were willing to put in that effort, they probably wouldn't resort to quoting three-word phrases in the first place.
Unfortunately, this practice is becoming common on Lemmy.
Some might see my rant as gatekeeping, but it genuinely hinders meaningful discussion on the topic at hand.
It is a pet peeve of mine that led me to unsubscribe from many, otherwise good, subreddits and eventually leave that platform altogether (thanks to a push from its CEO).
shaka when the walls fell
Still a fantastically catchy song
