Abstract:

The current culture of commodity fetishism that surrounds both modern art and tattoos are disproportionately a part of the perpetuation of an artificial sense of society and community. It promotes the notion that by simply by inking the deeper layers of their skin or by spending millions on a painting that somehow one becomes elevated and enters an elite space, or club, of people like them.

As computers became viable sources for the playback of popular music in the 1980s and 1990s, the roots of the digital music commodity took hold.
