[x] Youth International for Proletarian Power Established Everywhere! (YIPPEE!)
-[x] Circumstance of founding
The Second American Civil War prompted diverse artistic reactions, although few proved as controversial and lasting as the YIPPEE! movement. Formed in Chicago by student and artistic radicals, they declared the victory of the Revolution to be the victory of the "irrational human spirit" against the rationalizing and logical impulses of bureaucratic capitalism. Now was the time for man to be unleashed, to live as per the unconscious spirit demanded, no longer shackled by "bourgeois morality". This was expressed in an explosion of decadent and absurdist art and performance, a conscious reaction against the social realism common at the time oft insulted by nascent YIPPIEs as "the last gasp of reaction", the limitation of the proletarian imagination to merely what they had suffered before the great victory, rather than what could be achieved in the now. The YIPPEEs quickly became famous for their purposely controversial pieces and parties, most famously the "Universal Cabaret", a yet-ongoing occupation of the former Chicago Institute of Art where performers "in conversation" with the former collection, smash, destroy and repurpose the paintings and sculpture of the old world to make something truly new.

Dada-flappers. Half people who want the revolution to go faster and further; another half of people who've, because of war trauma, or incompatible politics, or anything else, have dropped out of the system entirely and just want to have a good time.
