Surrealism has a long tradition, Wikipedia.org explains:

Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.

These works use the same principle in this age of viral media and fair use re-appropriation. In particular the ‘element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions’ which is portrayed through a mixing of extremely popular culture (two television shows that are very successful in finances and TV plays for years) and juxtaposing them with ‘sub-culture’ though popular is very unknown, which could be described as Grindcore. Some bands I like are:

Job For A Cowboy

&

Cattle Decapitation
