[QUOTE="Coja Petrus Uscan, post: 1266691, member: 12967"] When I got to Turkey I did what I usually never do ... turn on the TV. As the thing is dangling over the bed it was to hard not to do. On one of the music channels there was the worst Illuminati mind control music I've ever seen by a tragic girl called Billie Elllish being drug round like a piece of trash and being stuffed with injections. Now the TV is unplugged. It's been over two years since I've watched any TV/films unless I was on a plane or ill. Virtually everything has strong degenerative qualities if it's not openly satanic now. There is no potitivity without being vapid and left-wing. But they're mostly festivals of cheating, whoring, death, decadence and depression. Note that it's only after the left has taken virtually complete hold of media that this level of decay has become the staple. I've been unplugged from the mainstream of what passes for culture for more than half a lifetime. I know most of the names like Lady GaGa and Kendrick Lamar. But I don't know any of their songs and if I'm lucky I don't even know what they look like. When I was young the music had become largely meaningless - this was the 90s. The themes were mostly feel good and hedonist, but at the same time a lot of it was pretty innocent. When I was a bit older there was a resurgence of popularity in rock music, specifically nu-metal, which was highly manufactured and full of bad leads to live your life by. All the people I knew who went into the rock music subculture and stayed there have ruined their lives. I think what's happened is that at some point in the last ten years is a lot of the cultural motifs of the fake underground of rock music has been appropriated by the mainstream and made more vapid. When I was young the culture was very fun and pleasure seeking oriented. It was very conformist and jock-like. People all worse the same sports brands like Nike, Adidas and then Kappa. As they got older they moved into cheap brand clothing for the clubs like Ben Sherman and Ellese. The rock counter to this was very much about being an individual, while just conforming to different codes of dress, music taste and behaviour. The mainstream has gobbled this up and made it more depressing and vapid. It's gravitated heavily to a faux individualism, mixed with all the self-hatred and depression of much rock music. The individualism seems to revolve around making yourself different and showing your pain and dysfunction. The new conformism is pretending to be different with little accouterments that have no meaning. [MEDIA=youtube]aFjVL4daRNk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
