subgenius

The SubGenius is a satirical organization and cultural phenomenon founded in the 1980s, parodying religious and conspiracy traditions. It promotes exaggerated ideas of a secret society, conspiracy, and a rebellious philosophy centered around "slack"—a metaphor for personal freedom and resisting societal norms. Through humor, absurdity, and parody, it critiques authority, consumerism, and mainstream culture, encouraging individuals to question conformity and find their own unconventional path. While it appears as a serious movement, it often functions as a playful critique of societal structures, blending satire, art, and social commentary.
