Los Angeles Streetlights Hypocrisy

Gone are the streets of Michael Mann’s Los Angeles. Warm amber glow of noir and urban darkness. Feminine lumen-migraine men forced LEDs on us to make the streets “safe” to “save the planet” while they still waste as total hypocrites. Under blue lights, we are men among ruins

A split image compares the same Los Angeles street under warm amber lighting and harsh white LED lighting. The caption nostalgically praises Michael Mann’s noir-like Los Angeles while sarcastically attacking modern LED streetlights as ugly, supposedly environmental, and hypocritical. It is used as a reaction to complaints about modernization, light pollution, or the loss of atmospheric urban aesthetics.
