Pathologic Minimal Synth Band

the playable characters of pathologic look like they released one incredible minimal synth EP together in 1981 before breaking up and becoming barbers or mail clerks

The three playable characters of Pathologic are shown in dramatic black-and-white portraits beneath a tweet joking that they look like members of a minimal synth band who released one incredible EP in 1981 before breaking up to become barbers or mail clerks. The punchline comes from their severe, stylish appearances and the contrast between the game's grim setting and an oddly specific fictional music career, making it useful as an absurd character-reaction meme.
