I've had professors and seen academics in youtube videos who characterize Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche as three intellectuals who changed the world 1) more than anyone before them had and 2) whose ideas could never be gotten around.
Is this a correct assessment of these men and their influence?
Pic related, all of them had some kind of relation to Hegel.

of absolute importance

It didn't die, it just reached its ultimate conclusion - final merging with the (production of) capital.

On one side it evolved into graphic design, background music, marketing, etc. That part became a direct tool for the maintaining of the... how should I call it... consumer-capital interface. It aims to make a smooth connection between all the produced stuff (not necessarily material) and the people using it; it aims to pull people further into the narrative of that specific company/product/whatever that it's enhancing. It relies on its absolute control of the cultural space, and is using it at every step.

On the other we have the endless reprise/pastiche of everything past and present by the consumers themselves. They are encouraged to create their own combination, 'to reach their real self', to express themselves. Of course, this expression will have to go through the capital one way or another.

Now, I'm not trying to be cynical here, I just want to say that I believe that things such as artistic avantgarde are a thing of the past. Only 'avantgarde' that we can look forward to today are hipster bloggers popularizing the next big thing, which will fade away (together with the blogger) only a couple of weeks later. Things will endlessly be recombined and torn out of context, often used without any attempt at meaning (see: memes). I do not claim that this is bad. I merely claim that this serves as a social lubricant between a person and the society, and since society is ruled by the capital, the way this works will follow the rules of capital. Main rule is the rule of constant (r)evolutionizing of everything.

To sum it up, everything is in order, it's just that past was only a temporary state of things.

>tfw 10 years from now everyone speaks his own dialect of memespeak

I'm strangely ok with this; past is boring, time to see what the future holds for us.
