Bradley Stern on Instagram: “The real pandemic: our beloved pop stars being fooled into thinking their bops and bangers are the official soundtrack of the #coronavirus…”
All these videos are from Italian neighborhoods singing in order to boost moral, but have been edited to have different audio. Fans are actually making these edits to meme their favorites to get them through this whole chaotic global pandemic. "People are now in the habit of going online and subconsciously reducing their psychic stress," Dr. Bartholomew said."In the past, people might have gone to church and prayed, whereas today in a more secular age, they go online and discuss their fears as a form of collective coping."
With these shared memes, the Internet is also allowing people to go through this psychic stress together, and cope as a collective. Of course, these Italian-neighborhood-singing-pop-songs meme can be misleading for the people who aren't in on this Internet joke. So this is a PSA for all who have been fooled — including the pop stars who fell for these memes: THEY AREN'T REAL!
