While egalitarianism is some part of it, I'd say Jante more refers to a social drive towards conformity and not making a big deal about yourself. You aren't special, shut up and eat your lapskaus.

It’s egalitarianism in that everyone is treated like cogs in a machine and one standing up is getting slammed the gently caress down....equally

Jante is a something that’s irritating to deal with but also kind of easy to gently avoid if you aren’t afraid to push back in the slightest.

Frankly I’m more bothered by Swedes being a bit parochial and terrified of strangers, loving peephole people. Four years here and now I feel that I have some sort of “community” however tenuous and fueled by alcohol. It is very isolating if you don’t have an in.

Yeah pretty much.

Also the parochialism, which often manifests as casual racism/xenophobia.

eg stuff like this was just a normal part of Swedish pop culture only two decades ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTqgpQJkefo

Jesus Murphy I’ve never heard of this and :stare:. Like I get it, this is out of genuine ignorance but it’s interesting that the English Wikipedia for Jonny Jakobsen mentions that there was controversy attached to his act but nothing in the Swedish one. That’s pretty telling.

Also

Jakobsens skivbolag hittade senare på figuren Dr. MacDoo, som var Dr. Bombays kusin från Skottland. Principen var densamma, men singlar som till exempel Macahula Dance blev inte lika framgångsrika som Dr. Bombay-låtarna.

Sommaren 2005 bytte Jakobsen skepnad igen och blev mexikanen Carlito. Under den pseudonymen har Jakobsen sedan 2006 varit aktiv i Japan och släppt ett flertal skivor. Carlito skrivs på japanska カリート (karīto).





I know prescribing one’s cultural norms on another culture is a mixed bag but ffs sake this is cringey independent of those factors my god.

Fire rips at their lungs
Holy mountain take us away

Nah they're a parody of a very real phenomenon, whereby Scandinavians have an unconscious tendency towards egalitarianism. Like, the first class section on trains is almost nonexistent and barely an upgrade from the rest of the train. People get upset at someone correcting someone else because it seems like they're making themselves out to be smarter than the other person. It's very specific to that part of the world.

So, like Chinese "Face" culture.

As someone from flensborg, I kind of like our danish neighbors. They're responsible for roughly half of my hometowns income, as they will invade the town every saturday and spend their ludicrously gigantic wages buying cheap poo poo and alcohol. Kind of like reverse-vikings when you think about it.

Also pølser are cool, still to this day the best hot dog in my eyes.

oh man when i lived in stockholm as a boy my parents always took me on walks in the evening, during which they'd buy me one of those prepackaged ice cream cones. They were way better than anything comparable you could get in the United States.
