“Apathy-Rise,” a parody of Coldplay’s Paradise by Niche Trio featuring Pierre Janssen, humorously explores existential themes from The Stranger and Antigone. It contrasts Meursault’s indifference with Antigone’s defiance, highlighting their opposing responses to absurdity and fate. Janssen’s feature adds commentary on their shared tragic outcomes, blending humor with literary insight. “Deadlines,” a parody of Drake’s Headlines, similarly examines existential struggle and inevitability in both works.
