There is significant proof out their that reveals how the Simpsons characters, plot lines and catchphrases can be applied to every single one of life’s instances. As a show that delves deep into the crux of humanity, its nuanced takes on everyday life have been appropriated and embedded into the modern psyche. With Simpsons-mania receiving a resurgence in popularity, thanks to a slew of successful Facebook meme pages in the last few years, niche jokes and once forgotten one-liners have again become a part of everyday meme-speak.
In the past, the Simpsons has had its fair share of musical guest appearances that have made for iconic episodes – we could dispute that ‘Homerpalooza’ (Season seven, Episode 24) is the greatest ever episode, but that’s an argument for another day, so this recent creative endeavor is no surprise.
The Instagram account ‘Millions Of Dead Simpsons’ has taken the notion that Simpsons can be applied to everything to a new level of meta. If there’s something that explores society and politics in as brash and detailed fashion as the Simpsons, it’s got to be punk music.
The genius has replaced iconic figures and images from punk album covers and replaced them with Simpsons characters – ever wanted to see Frank Grimes express his frustration and anger in an artistic manner? Now you can. Take a look at a few below:
Lisa Goes To College – probably the most appropriately matched of the lot. The thought of Lisa throwing down a cover of ‘Hope’ really sends chills down our spine.
This is a visual representation of how Homer Simson would feel about the vegan, straight edge lifestyle.
Sherri and Terri were definitely Pumpkins fans, being the surly, snarky twins they were.
