My understanding of the Art History perspectives on Dada may be a tad outdated, but although Dada inspired a great deal of quick growth movements (surrealism, cubism, pop, etc), Dada seemed to expire with Duchamp and Tzarza. What is post dada dada? The Yippies?

    We call ourselves The Cult of DooDoo (Dada+ VooDoo)

    To graduate from dada is to marry meaninglessness with some primordial intent of purpose and magic. Neither intent nor purpose must do with reality, and hopefully, it will even aim its magic arrows at making irrationality a meme in the world at large. A classic outcome of a doodoo ceremony I recently did- my friends and I got hired as clown security to protest people who were protesting the Man in front of The Conscious Life Expo. They couldn't really tell if we were with or against them. The greatest moment of the protest had to have been when my friend TBF- garbed in chicken hat- stuck his ass out while I, as the clowny Statue of Liberty, double plungered his ass marching in the picket line.

    Is that a good post post post modern dada example?

    There was this whole movement in music in Germany in the early '80s when underground bands started singing in German and a lot of the lyrics were Dada and even the music was (no-wave type stuff) - and no, I'm not talking about Trio's 'Da Da Da'.

    A band that comes to mind is Palais Schaumburg. Of course you have to speak German to get their stuff.
