In a supposedly indie age with no need for distribution or mainstream media to break out and be a real success
Why is there no one out there with the balls to look corporate America in the eye and say FUCK YOU ?
FUCK YOU APPLE
FUCK YOU STEVE JOBS
FUCK YOU ABC CBS NBC FOX
FUCK YOU NEWS CORP
FUCK YOU TARGET WALL-MART AND STARBUCKS
FUCK YOU TWITTER AND FACEBOOK
FUCK YOU AND YOUR INOFFENSIVE PC SENSIBILITIES
Will there ever be anything seriously controversial and deep with some reach out there ever again?
Something that doesn't have, or hope to have, corporate dick all the way down its throat?
Did the bad guys really win?
What is the rawest, most offensive, brilliant, intelligent shit out there in the pop culture landscape today?

Seriously - this was the closest thing to spontaneous corporate deification I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing.

Hard to imagine getting any deeper than this. I haven't felt this real since I was two blunts deep in a sidewalk cipher during my sophomore year of college -- after a Business 102 class, natch.
At least Steve Jobs was coherent.
Just wondering what ( if anything ) in pop culture's past would fit this bill.
the guy's dead. Focus your energies on the living, and preferably on the evil. I would rather say "Fuck you Assad" for example
exactly
i mean...not really but
you sound brainwashed. think different
:oh_my:
dude...
B-b-b-ut Steve Jobs changed the entire way we look at computing!
b/w I wrote this using a a Mac.
Whatevs man. Not even talmbout revolutionary per se - just balls, real dissent.
I feel sorry for kids growing up on american idol and x factor. im sure theres some gg allin hiding away somewhere but damn.
The only edge in popular music nowadays is rape rap in a supreme beenie or some plastic slut talmbout getting her salad tossed?
Were going to admire artists for their fashion choices? Obscure faux gender politics wrapped in a bikini. Really?
Growing up i became more politicized by listening to PE or the Clash or even the Police than from any class I ever took.
Wheres the relevant major pop artist saying Fuck The War! Fuck the Mall! Kill your TV!
Do they even exist anymore? thats what I want to know
It's you who's not thinking dfferently. The rage against the machine type anti govt/corportate music thing has been done '67-83. It got mediocre results. These guys think differently. Instead of waving their fists they pull their media weight to lobby from within the system and with issuses ranging from humanitarian intervention in Darfur, through Aids prevention in Africa to debt reduction in developing countries, they have been more coherent and got better results than the Clash or John Lennon ever did.
Tabira no offense but you sound hella conformist. Im sure youll get to watch assad get smoked on your ipad2 once president gingrich invades iraq. All is not well.
Serious question: are you saying that you don't want to produce positive change, but are simply looking to be anti- for the sake of being anti-?
I probably do sound conformist to you. You sound conformist to me, or rather the kind of movements that you hark back to were always in my view highly conformist. Conformist that is in their parochial and totalist rejection of all of the establishment. I don't care where anyone places me on the political spectrum, I just refuse to be hostage to any "movement" that can't engage with what is good whilst wanting to replace what is bad. I would sincerely love to see Assad toppled in the same way that Gaddafi was and that's not going to change just because it was a middle aged white republican who sponsored it.
The problem with people who produce positive change is that they sometimes have to compromise with people who have any sort of resources or power to make that change happen. Fucking sellouts.
No - in my opinion it is not the artists responsibility to be a successful charity figurehead - the yardstick for artistic achievement isnt how much money did they raise for X or how many government leaders did they meet - i dont give a fuck what they do for charity - its about the music and what it stands for. When you listen to Marley you dont think - 'wow he did so much for breast cancer'.
Its a barren, corporate and conformist landscape at the moment.
