Pogo

The episode is also known as "Pogo Dance, or Counterculture." In reality, the cartoon is about how no such thing as "counterculture" exists. As everyone knows, St. Petersburg is the cultural capital. Which is, essentially, nonsense. That is, there is culture there, but no more genuine culture than in any other Russian city. What there's plenty of, though, is pseudo-cultural pretense. Because culture isn't in ossified dead matter — it's in human behavior. The carrier of culture is first and foremost a person, and only then a museum. By that logic, pogo dance is a perfectly wonderful culture. :) For those who may not know — "pogo dance" is when everyone in front of the stage shoves and slams into each other like mad. Especially enjoyable in a tiny cramped smoky basement club under some brutal punk riffage, a proper good time... :)
