They explained to us that the ‘Classical Sarcasm’ account has been up and running all the way since 2019. We were curious to get their take as to why the project has been so successful over the years. “It’s been growing because of the unique content created every day,” the representative told Bored Panda. Bored Panda asked the ‘Classical Sarcasm’ team member whether they think that the content they share helps others appreciate classical art more. They believe so! In their opinion, social media has a very positive impact in this regard. “Surely, classical art was almost forgotten without social media! Every painting has a story behind it, and those stories are being told with every meme we make,” the representative said. “Just be creative, and let your imagination make someone laugh.” On top of that, they explained to Bored Panda that there’s no such thing as ‘bad’ memes because everything’s so subjective. “Every person looks at memes from a different angle.” The ‘Classical Sarcasm’ project is extremely well known on social media. It’s incredibly likely that you’ve seen some of its memes on your feed, whether shared by the original account itself or reposted by someone who’s a big fan of the content. At the time of writing, the’ Classical Sarcasm’ Instagram account boasts 128k followers. Its Facebook page has a jaw-dropping 728k followers. Meanwhile, the Facebook group is home to 560k members from all over the globe. The added layer of humor further elevates the quality of the meme, and makes you more likely to (re)share it with the people you care about. And that’s how this unique combination of art and sarcasm has carved out such a popular niche for itself. “The success behind the page is original content and constant hard work. My team consists of me and my parents,” Adnan told Bored Panda about how integral his mom, Sifa, and his dad, Sefik, really are to the project’s popularity. Aside from the ‘Classical Sarcasm’ Instagram account, Facebook page, and Facebook group, they also run a couple of similar Instagram pages. According to him, a core part of the appeal is the freedom to interpret things as one sees them. Not only does this apply to the works of art featured in the images but to the memes, too. “When creating memes, I just need to look at one painting, and immediately, the brainstorming starts in my head. Also, many followers are sending their own creations. I’m so proud that my page has motivated so many people to express their own creativity." According to Adnan, he’s open to all young artists and companies to work together. Anyone who’s interested can contact him via the email he has shared publicly on his Facebook page. That, however, isn’t true. Art history, according to the historian, is basically just old memes full of humor and humanity. That, in turn, should make the subjects less scary and ephemeral. The point is to discuss and create art, not to be ‘right’ with your opinions. It’s about self-expression, emotions, and opinions. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
