STAYC -- I Want It
https://youtu.be/is03siMfTU0?si=Ts_kxxlIju-DR-NtI enjoyed this stage, both for the performance and the outfits.
Looking at not just the outfits but also the American West inspired imagery projected behind the group, I am reminded how rich a source of myth and symbol the US in general and the US West in particular have been in global popular culture.
I'm aware, of course, that the US West is a real place, with its own history populations, and challenges, as opposed to being merely a location for frontier "process" or myth .
Yet its mythic function does exist and does matter to the global imagination -- the west, and perhaps the US more largely, imagined as a place of openness, abundance, youth, freedom....all suggested in this and a million other pop videos.
How deeply rooted is this myth? Will it survive the years of cruelty, tyranny, and the inward looking closure of opportunity and of minds that MAGA is bringing to us?
