moon_custafer answered this shitpost quiz seriously, so I see no reason not to.

1. which ragtime ditty makes you wanna get up and dance with the finest dame in the room?

If we're counting novelty piano, Zez Confrey's "Kitten on the Keys."

2. which classic of german expressionism makes you wanna go feral?

Oh, man. Let's go with this portrait of Ernst Deutsch by Julo Levin:



3. which early soviet abstract arts movement vibes with you the hardest?

Futurism!



If disqualified by the brevity of its survival post-Revolution: fortunately, I like Constructivism.

Feel free to play! What are memes for?

[minoanmiss]

I did have one on my lap while I was answering.

(My obvious runner-up was J. Russel Robinson's "Sapho Rag," but I couldn't find a good version on YouTube.)
