Does there have to be a so? I appreciated the context tho it didn't change my reaction to the meme. Context info is always good, what we do with it is up to us.

Took a bunch of edgy songs, sandwiched their choruses end to end, and put it to an accordion like the clown car met the human centipede. And he called it 'Angry White Boy Polka'.
