Curse of the Colonel, an urban legend.

Everyone is beautiful and no one is horny – mainstream films are becoming as puritan, clean and soulless as a freshly renovated street in Munich.

Why is X not written in Lisp? (1998)

For some reason, YouTube has recently begun to recommend me Dark Academia mixes made by user "oliviaalee." It doesn't feel new and exciting, apart from the hype train, but the video titles are hilarious:

• you're studying in a haunted library with ghosts
• your elite new boarding school turns out to be more sinister than it seems
• playing chess with your best friends ghost by candlelight

Basically, every dark gifted kid movie ever.

Comparing the trend with cottagecore, Vox reporter Rebecca Jennings notes that "the simple act of putting on a blazer and reading Dostoevsky is far more doable."

Because of course it is.
