In this country the celebrities and the innovators are completely different. The people driving this country forward are condemned to the shadows and limelight seekers find a way to get to the front of the papers.
The glossy woman’s magazines are full or the same skimpy woman replicated over and over again with the same repeated news story. Amy Winehouse gets on the front page but is not credited for her fantastic voice and brilliant song writing, it’s due to her "live fast die young" lifestyle.
The majority of youth follow with this, most wearing the same clothes listening to the same music and liking the same activities trying to become the generic person you see on the front of these papers and magazines.
The level of music being produced in the current day has also dropped dramatically. Its getting to the point where the majority of the music in the charts are from "here now gone the next day" artists with songs that have no great lyrical content or depth. It's now cooler to get caught by the police than to learn how to play guitar or write a song.
These ways don’t look set to change anytime soon either, they are in fact getting worse. With a lot the music that does in fact have the potential to be legendary being shunned off to the "different people".
So how did this happen? It seems like it was an all off a sudden change from what it was like in the late 90’s, well as far as I can see. So we need to promote the opportunity for teenagers to be different than one another and maybe we can achieve the youth culture of what we once had.

I think every generation of the past two decades believes that things used to be better back in the day, and unfortunately the generations of the previous decades tend to support and propogate that theory.;
ReplyDeleteIn fact the Sixties and Seventies were not any better than the present day.
But it interesting to get this perspective, and through self analysis improvements will inevitably come...
we need new styles of music, i think its time to get more fusion music on the go
