The ultimate musical sacrilege.
Made by soulless businessmen in the Record Label industry, these rats often hire attractive people (movie actors, models, homeless people or whatever) with a decent voice (Mostly hardcore fucked by autotune to sound nice) to sing their lifeless songs for them. They also utilize flashy videos (Which covers up the mess called the "lyrics") featuring the "artist's" heavily-edited abs or fake buttcheeks (Sometimes, they even go full birthday suit...) with dancers doing brothel shit. (It's often lewd as Hell.) Combine it with proven-and-tested "catchy rhythm and melodies" (For boosting the hype of the listener) and intense marketing, it becomes a cash cow for the company who produces it, with views beating both Rock and Art Music combined, and has a popularity rate that is higher than Burj Khalifa.
It preys on the clueless teenagers (Mostly young ladies) with its hype generator, love/edgy lyrics and attractive "artists", harboring tons of money through concert tickets and online albums. It poisons the minds of people through the radio and streaming platforms repeating it again and again, until the populace says it's a good one.
It rips your soul away in every repetition on the radio. It makes you stupid in every lyric. It manipulates you in every beat.
This is Pop Music.

Brittany: would you like to listen to Beyonce?
Dyl: I would rather sniff my own shit than to listen to pop music.

Get the Pop Musicmug. Romeo and Juliet is originally a novella written by Italian writer Luigi da Porto, who wrote this because he couldn't marry his cousin. It got revised by a monk named Matteo Bandello, then translated to Baguette Language by some French guy, then landed on Arthur Brooke. He then wrote it as a poem with some dark shit featuring Romeo banging his head against the wall, then named it Romeus and Juliet. And of course, Shakespeare read Brooke's work and based his tragedy on it, and we got the version of Romeo and Juliet that almost everyone hates.
Differences:
• The Da Porto novella features a passionate and truly in love Romeo and Giulietta, while the Shakespeare Tragedy has a set of horny teens who thought lust and love are the same. (I kinda blame it for the tragedy's shoddy timeline and Shakespeare turning them into teens.)
• The Shakespeare Tragedy features Tybalt and Mercutio with personalities, while the Da Porto novella only have them as extras.
• The Shakespeare Tragedy had Romeo dying all alone. In the Da Porto novella, he had Romeo dying until Giulietta woke up. (Kinda like Romeo+Juliet.)
To summarize, Romeo e Giulietta by Da Porto was born out of a man's failed love, while Shakespeare's tragedy was born to torment stupid teens while giving tears to Shakespeare Simps.
If you encounter this and experience symptoms such as cringe, brain damage and boredom, find more adaptations or read the novella.
(If symptoms persist, consult the Hungarian Musical Rómeó és Júlia.)

Get the Romeo and Julietmug. An interpretation of Romeo Montague from Romeo and Juliet that features the guy having dark and creepy tendencies. It ranges from stalker-like behavior to going full nuts after losing his Juliet.
The 1982 Romeo and Juliet film and the Hungarian adaptation of Gerard Presgurvic's Romeo et Juliette: De La Haine a L'Amour had this kind of Romeo interpretation as one of their main flavor.

Dyl: Saw Romeo and Juliet today in a community theatre. The Romeo is kind of creepy, yet very romantic.
Phyl: He must be a Dark Romeo.

Get the Dark Romeomug. *Warning: I never played the game itself, but I studied its lore and story.*
The game's story reveals many things:
• How Hogwarts Castle was constructed
• The nature of Ancient Magic: its mystery, beauty and its undelying dangers to the Wizarding World as a whole
• How Ancient Magic almost turn every witch and wizard into husks; and...
• Why only a select few of witches and wizards are capable of seeing traces of Ancient Magic.
This game also got a boycott attempt from Woketards just because the author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling said biological sex is real, trans women are not women, and men should not go to women's bathrooms. (Well, all of these are facts.)
And it failed. Spectacularly.

Phyl: Do you play Hogwarts Legacy?
Dyl: Of course! I love Harry Potter and this is the game that I've been waiting for years!
Woketard: You play that game?! Are you a transphobe?! Well OF COURSE YOU ARE, BIGOT!!!!! (Shrieks constantly)
Phyl: Wanna turn "them" into a husk like what Isidora did to her father, Dyl..?
Dyl: Good idea...
