You Didn’t Invent That™

“A ledger of stolen style and sacred theft.” Viral satire on cultural appropriation.

You Didn’t Invent That™ is a razor-short, ledger-driven call-in that acts as a punchy, satirical inventory of cultural theft across style, food, language, and tech. The ledger exposes cultural theft (cornrows to “boxer braids,” grief as content) with a structured ritual for each entry—Lie, Origin, Profit Trail, Recode—plus a snappy Cultural Criminal Index™. This sharp, educational tool is not a cancellation manual but an orientation tool designed to provide concrete ways to credit, pay, and repair cultural lineage. This IP is built for virality and institutional adoption for cultural literacy programs.
