So I really do plan on keeping on new music Monday and I found all kinds of stuff this weekend. This isn't one of them but this song has been in my head since the VMAs. Probably the only good thing to come out of that show. It's sad too cause I really like Russell Brand. He just didn't resonate well in being a comedian. That and making fun of the Jonas' Brothers on a program who's average viewer is a tween girl probably wasn't the best move. Ahh well. In all fairness...I hate the Jonas' Brothers. That's not music...it's crap.
On a more serious note, sort of, shortly after receiving this number I noticed a woman dressed very...rebel/punk/goth/scene. I thought to myself, "She's being unique and different." Then she stood up to leave and she had a brand new black Prada bag. Now, I don't know much about purses and fashion shit but I'm pretty sure that doesn't go with the look she was going for.
I can't remember what it was called but it was in a Comm class but it's the idea that rebelliousness was once a unique concept created by the people. Then companies like MTV sold it to the youth and it thus became mainstream. What this means is that being different is actually being the same. Anytime something is created at the ground level amongst the people, you can guarantee that marketers and advertisers will catch it and sell it to you thus destroying the very reason it was created in the first place.
This girl I saw was just a prime example of it...either that or she was just a poser. And that's worse! Man I hate posers...
