I recently realized that the world is populated almost entirely with good looking people between the ages of 18 – 25 who apparently have severe emotional issues with which they have no qualms displaying for national TV, because “it’s all about what you feel inside and stuff.” No, I didn’t just walk down the streets of Albany (not enough fake tits here to notice that kind of derangement). I watched 10 minutes of “reality” TV on MTV and now I can’t get the image of emotionally disturbed 20-year-old quasi-Hitler Youth out of my head.
So it’s become painfully apparent that MTV and its parent company Viacom aren’t satisfied with churning out crappy music and semiliterate sex symbols anymore. Now they’ve branched off and made all of their so-called Music Television into a line-up of reality TV series that depict the hormonally charged, alcohol dependant, mental effluvium which somewhat resembles every game show ever made. Creative, no? I hope to God at least one of you agrees with me, and here is why.
1) It means at least one other person out there realizes that somewhere along the line these shitbag shows have gone from early 90’s Real World (a somewhat interesting and original idea which depicted REAL people in honest situations... such as... Realizing you weren’t going to make it in showbiz, or hey.... You’re out of college, get a job you fat shit!) To the current version which maintains an open bar in the house 24/7 in hopes that a full blown orgy will break out amongst the 7 extremely high strung underwear models that reside in the palatial mansion which is the Real World house. Hmmm now that’s real!! I can almost taste the silicon implants!
2) The fact that MTV has turned popular modern music into the laughable white elephant of audio dung, which has been foisted over on a younger generation, that now thinks more with their genitalia and mom's credit card than with their ever wavering powers of deduction and taste, has become an affront to even a semi-intelligent society. That last part could explain why MTV does so well in our society.... It’s utterly disgusting and a big circle jerk of mediocrity.
Rot in Hell Music executives, you impotent chickenshit Corporate teat sucking fuckholes.
But despite my ranting and reformulating of ideas about modern youth culture without any real firsthand info (otherwise known as me being a reactionary and curmudgeonly asshole) I decided to investigate for myself just how bad things might have gotten since I last went to a Lollapalooza.... So just for the hell of it I decided to find out what was so appealing about this olfactive caca. Just for you and I, I wasted last Saturday wandering around the streets of Albany waiting for people with bad haircuts and lots of bling bling to talk to me so I could find out what's cool to listen to now. So I sampled a bit from a young man with more rings in his face than all the bulls in Pamplona (note: I’m all for self expression but there is such as thing as going overboard.... Like when you start drawing electricity from light sockets just by standing near them.) After listening, I had the tremendous urge to go to Crossgates Mall and buy a new $200 pair of "kicks," comb my hair over my eyes, buy an "Emo" record to put on my cool new phone that takes pictures, records MP3's and acts as a GPS, then stick a red hot poker up my ass. Fortunately for me the urge subsided the second I got into my car and I heard some Sam Cook albums.
Dear God what wont Viacom try to foist over on our youth obsessed culture... Good thing they own lots of cable, radio, and communications companies lest we be given a break from their predominant proboscis of material love and credit lines. Lets face it folks.... these people are pure evil. After all, some old repressed gay conservative exec at Viacom is the only explanation for Nick Lache and Justin Timberlake. I wish I could give more examples but seriously......... that stuff sucks hoo hoo hole and i have a tough time ingesting something that reminds me of some chicks used up chachie (that is to say over-stretched and dripping with failure, or herpes whatever comes first). When I hear that crap, it's like a spasm of good taste comes over me and I feel the need to play a Stevie Ray Vaughn album or maybe some Alice in Chains, it's a knee jerk reaction, totally out of my control. For now I'll just point and laugh at our image driven metrosexual recording industry and all the little robot shitheads it's created.
