And? How does it feel to be alive in the most corrupt times and it will get even more corrupt :D The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. I worry about when a population becomes distracted by trivia, people who put junk culture on a pedestal when its a tool to distract for the people. Meanwhile, the face of our planet, the biosphere, is being sharply changed by man, destroyed by "psychopaths" corporations, people die every day and the world goes on like nothing happened. The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy, a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not dream of escape. A system of slavery where, through consumption (Apple, Rolex, Nike, Johnnie Walker, Armani, Ferrari, Louis Vuitton...) and entertainment (Marvel, Disney, NFL, Star Wars, Adele, NBA, Pokemon GO, Game of Thrones, UEFA...), slaves would love their servitude (producing dictatorship without tears, a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies). That system is our enemy. It is all around us. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth (a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch, a prison for your mind). This system organizes our economy, our politics, our habits, our lives, and even provides us with rates and credit cards and gives us the appearance of happiness. And this seems to be the final revolution. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world, but accepted as normal (wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it). Like everyone else you were born into bondage. It seems that we have been born only to consume and to consume, and when we can no longer consume, we have a feeling of frustration, and we suffer from poverty, and we are auto-marginalized. And many are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.That's how it is with people - nobody cares how it works as long as it works. I only hope we understand that reason before it's too late. Fact is that when we are mesmerized by someone (corporations) we lose all sense of analysis and reflection.

@@Juicegoose9310 A search for 'Wizard of Oz banned' produces a long list of reasons why it was banned, but does not mention communism. This was from my personal recollection; when I was about 8 years old (1956), my dad went to the San Jose library and was told that by the librarian. He said the Munchkins had a communistic society.

@Olivia SUN It used the word 'damn'. We kids made up a joke. We went on a hike to the dam. It was hot and we got thirsty, so we asked the dam man if we could drink some of the dam water. He said "You can drink all the dam water you want." We didn't have anything to drink the dam water with, so he gave us dam cups so we could drink the dam water.

annie mei today’s taboo is breaking ideologies

I disagree, party and brag rap has been in the mainstream since the early 90s, before I was born, we just don't look back on it fondly and remember the good rap that came such as 2pac NWA etc, mumble rappers aren't doing anything new except for mumbling so don't be fooled into thinking all music was better in the older days. Vanilla ice doesn't seem so innocent in this day and age

So true

@@johnjoefitzpatrick8483 Same. If you consider it rock n' roll, metal can't seem to go more brutal than it went in the 90's. I'm going to say hip-hop and pop music can go more sexually explicit, though. We have yet to see a female nipple in a music video, I think that's the next step; and after that, who's to say how far it will go. Maybe my grandkids will get their hardcore porn from mainstream pop music.

And the 90s complete the journey 😂😂😂

G.C. Lawrence RIP Little Richard.

when you're kids and grand kids rebel against you, remember that you said that.

@@justinm4497 All kids rebel in some way or another, it's part of dealing with certain stages of brain development. As long as they are raised well and don't feel suffocated by their parents they'll only rebel in relatively harmless ways that their parents end up looking back on and laughing about later. All my friends with very strict parents were angry and resentful of their parents and rebelled by dropping out of school, getting into hard drugs, shoplifting, getting pregnant, getting into fistfights constantly, developing and hiding an eating disorder, self-harming and never trusting their parents enough to tell them that they need help, bullying other kids out of frustration etc. I had understanding parents who gave me an appropriate amount of freedom for a teenager so I really had nothing to rebel against to begin with! If I wanted to go to a party I'd just ask because I knew my parents trusted me and wouldn't freak out about it, I never HAD to sneak out, so I didn't, and my parents always knew where I was because they gave me that trust. I didn't date until I was 18 in the last few weeks of high school because I saw anything that wasn't meaningful to be a waste of time and I had nothing to prove, I'm still with him nearly 5 years later! If I did get myself into a bit of trouble I never felt like I needed to hide it and I felt like I could come to my parents for help because I knew they wouldn't blow it out of proportion, many of my friends were not so lucky and were TERRIFIED to go to their strict parents with their problems! The fact of life is that those overly strict parents who restrict and suffocate their kids often create the MOST rebellious and messed up kids. Being overly strict and controlling with a teenager just tells them that you are insecure in your ability to parent them reasonably and that you are afraid of what they will do because you refuse to see them as people and instead see them as out of control animals that need a leash, this would offend anyone! Just because someone is a teenager doesn't mean it's okay to treat them like a criminal before they've done anything wrong and to put a bunch of unnecessary restrictions on their life. All of that just makes the teenager angry and distrustful of their parents so guess what? They rebel!

yes yes, plan away, your kids will be exactly the way you plan them.

@@justinm4497 It seems like you didn't want a conversation, you just wanted someone younger than you to lash out at and project your issues onto for some reason. I hope you can get past this strange urge in the future, happy new year!

KaylaNoelle1 I snuck out of my bedroom window to go party. When I got back at 5:30 the window was nailed shut. At 7:30 my mom invited me in and fixed breakfast.

Can you elaborate? What exactly is it that you dont like?

My parents have lung problems and my uncle died from lung cancer, so yeah

Dont try to compare rock to rap.. gross. Rap sucks and glorifies having baby mamas, drugs, murder, etc.

Umar Virk Yeah some older rap was okay I guess.. not my taste though. But Im talking about the rap nowadays, a whole abomination 🤢 It doesn’t even sound good either a lot of them sound like robots with the same repetitive beats, and as previously mentioned , rap don’t even spread a good message. I could understand how teens like it though cause it’s “edgy” but the music just sucks

Umar knows nothing about rock n roll. Obviously he's never listened to Shake, Rattle, and Roll, Work with Me, Annie, or Stagger Lee. Those are only the tame songs people in the modern era think their parents listen to. There are plenty of popular songs about sex and violence in early rock n roll that history has erased.

Umar Virk Tell me, which decade where you born in? As it can show a clear indicator of your beliefs and influences.

Umar Virk Why did you get critical of music from 2015 and beyond? Was it from explicit language and was it just pop in general?

No! Eminem! LOL! they'd have strokes if they heard his music! hahahahaha!!! lol

the 40s were more liberal than the 50s, then the 60s were more liberal than the 50s, then the 70s came along with puke yellow, orange and green, then the 80s/90s were the only two decades I can remember reading through history (I lived through them) that were pretty much continuity with little to no war or societal/political strife. Maybe ancient Rome had a two or three decade run during its time of continuity and prosperity, but I think at least as the West is concerned especially US/Canada were the only two nations to actually experience the continuity and 'normalcy' of the 80s/90s.....

Then you're not listening to the good music of today. We've been getting great authentic bands today who are perfectly able to mix classic rock with modern twists. I don't know why everyone is so eager to look down on to today's music and then refer to only the pop music on the radio.

Exactly!!!! I agree completely! It's just good music is hard to find these days ya know.but if you here complaining how music ain't good these days then you ain't even trying.

Couldn't agree more. I often wonder what people mean when they say "Real Music™". Often you'll get The same 5 few bands. They're great and all but if people get stuck with the same artists, taste will never evolve. Most people with the opinion that we live in the autotune era (um, okay, that's 2007) have taken a cursory glance at music today and have based their opinion on Top 40 which...isn't very fair. There's been garbage on Top 40 for ages.

It's like nobody in this thread even watched the video lmao. You're not exactly wrong, but its not like there is less music in the world, there objectively isnt. you are objectively going to find more music to enjoy today than you would 10 years ago because more music exists. Radio has always been trash.

I agree..It's a case of who can we handpick, mould to our taste ,turn into a teen idol & dupe the public with the thought that they're singers & make money off of them..then throw them away....the 50s were highly conservative,so anything that threatened the parents 'life style was feared and hated...not only by the parents , but also by the educatirs & the religious leaders. ..
