A “super Carrington” event would also wipe out civilization — although not in one fell swoop, because it might take a month or two for our food stockpiles to be exhausted.
At any rate, after those excruciating months of mass starvation, the only surviving humans would probably be a few isolated, wild tribes in the New Guinea mountains and in the jungles of the Congo and Amazon basins.
These primitive folks might repopulate Mother Earth in another 30,000 or so years. Just imagine their amazement when they eventually stumble upon some old DVD’s of Madonna and Lady Gaga!
And if those Tribes found those DVD's I think Lady Gaga would make them believe she was some type of Space Demon, but Madonna would just make them throw up ;-)
