It's a hypertextual adventure.

There’s no surprising anyone these days. We’ve seen it all before-- rehashed Hollywood sequels, tired TV catchphrases, music by that band who sounds like that other band who sounds like someone else. And the more media we consume, the worse it gets. Sounds Familiar tries to untangle the web of trends, patterns and connections in the everyday and the ordinary, discovering new ways to be surprised by the same old clichés. It’s a hypertextual adventure.
