ORTHODOX POP

The ubiquitous threat of highly-calculated marketing campaigns in form of songs is taking its toll. The music sphere, despite the existence of some overlooked leftovers and true souls seeking eager ears, is being wholly swallowed by a totalitarian and monstrous organization that is taking pop to new lows dragging the intellect down to zero Kelvin and ferociously spending time and money on the cause. The peril of a flat politically correct and therefore shamelessly bland abundance of tunes populating what once meant to be a global village of diversity is reaching the boiling point. 

Popular music has always walked on a predictive and psychologically-analyzed pavement but it had never reached the level of profanity we see today. Is that what our parents told us when we first played Radiohead in our bedrooms? Is it the same case as when the neighbors frowned at us when we first wore Marilyn Manson shirts, painted our faces and called ourselves mechanical animals and stars in the dope show? It is sad to see how extremity has transformed from a freak of culture and food for progress to a silent, tame and seldom-seen lone wolf. Is it not the time we, once again, became biased, intellectually aggressive and extreme? Is it not dangerous and Big-Brother-y enough how safe we have chosen to participate? Or is it just approaching the mid-life crisis for us? Just a matter of grumpiness and soon to get used to the new standards and norms. Standards of crowning Normcore as a way of life, the new mask of communism, the state of failure and the demise of creativity.

We are not buying into this pile of excrement just yet. It is however, the extent of powers that be, that is, at a leisurely pace, wearing us down and sucking our brains. We are losing grip of our small group of like-minded folks and getting distant from the core of events. We have a conspiracy theorist feeling that it is all being thought of, diagramed, blue-printed and implemented in a dark think tank somewhere in a high-rise penthouse.
