The anthology is divided into three parts: from the 60s to the early 90s; the advent of the internet; the spread of social networks and the specific role of the 4chan board or the Anonymous movement. A pattern that is re-proposed and updated over the years, but remodeling the same recipe made up of mass suggestions, fake news and disinformation. If you think that Taylor Swift either a clone or Justin Bieber talk to aliens, it won’t be surprising that Stevie Wonder you see very well. I Kisses would actually be Nazis e Morrisey would have predicted the death of Lady Diana. From ancient Rome to QAnon, MUSIC PARANOIA crystallizes the most significant moments in the history of paranoia and conspiracies, measuring all the real or presumed elements that intervene in these psycho-social phenomena with an essayistic approach. From the clash of civilizations to the interference of social networks in politics and society, from world wars to the recent pandemic up to the psychological analysis of the “different”.
Italy is also doing its part. Timeless classics such as the coprophagy of Gianni Morandi or the sexuality of Amanda Learbut also related goodies Pippo Franco who would be killed and replaced by the smuggler Salatino Fulvio Franco. Not only: Young people would be part of Freemasonry e Romina Power she would be a fervent supporter of the theory of chemtrails. But at least one thing is clear without a shadow of a doubt: Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins is not the child protagonist of the TV series Super Vicki.
