Bagism
was created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono to satirize prejudice and stereotyping. Bagism literally involved wearing a bag over one's entire body. According to John and Yoko, by living in a bag, others could not judge you by the color of your skin, the length of your hair, the clothes you wore, your age, or any other such attributes. It was presented as a form of total communication. Instead of focusing on outward appearance, the listener would hear only the bagist's message.—Bagism
It’s been over thirty years now, and the Internet has become a modern day Bagism...The Internet takes Bagism to a new level. Not only is your appearance masked, but your voice is also hidden.—Bagism.net
