<p>We have two ongoing wars.  We have our first black president and subsequent racial tensions.  We have an economic mess.  We have health care debates.  We have American soldiers shooting each other in Texas.  All this crazy change is in the air and the best these two idiots can offer our country is a song about taking pictures with a cell phone?  Where is your sense of purpose?</p>
<p>Oh I know.  Say it again.  &#8220;We don&#8217;t care about society.  We just want to have FUN!&#8221;  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IXSU8W?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=gomubamu-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001IXSU8W">Just dance</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=gomubamu-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001IXSU8W" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, right?  And this is the exact thing that leads to apathetic, disillusioned and isolated zombies.  Focus on the jiggly girls and make sure you have your own camera phone so you can film your awesome friends getting coked up and drunk while they dance to this song, themselves.</p>
<p>So much can be done with the power of music.  Prolific messages, set to creative music, can permeate minds enough to instill truly evolutionary and revolutionary thought.  This, however, is neither prolific nor creative.  It is not evolutionary nor revolutionary.  This is business as usual for record executives that snort cocaine through hundred dollar bills.  It&#8217;s status quo, bred from a fear of change, and a desire for excess.</p>
<p>Are these girls even people at all?  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FBeyonce%2FB000APOLQ4%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dsr%255Ftc%255F2%255F0&amp;tag=gomubamu-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957">Beyonce</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=gomubamu-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> has apparently adopted the same empty, soulless appearance of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FRihanna%2FB0017PCN16%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dsr%255Ftc%255F2%255F0&amp;tag=gomubamu-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957">Rihanna</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=gomubamu-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FLady-Gaga%2FB001LH2W8E%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dsr%255Ftc%255F2%255F0&amp;tag=gomubamu-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957">Lady Gaga</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=gomubamu-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, it appears, is actually Riff Raff from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006D295?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=gomubamu-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00006D295">The Rocky Horror Picture Show</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=gomubamu-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00006D295" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.  Funny how the more they pretty her up, the uglier she really is.</p>
<p>People, we have to fight this crap.  It&#8217;s not just the point that this &#8220;music&#8221; doesn&#8217;t contribute to positive change.  It&#8217;s not even the point that this &#8220;music&#8221; doesn&#8217;t say anything at all.  The problem is that this music is turning people into stupid assholes.  Open your eyes and realize that pop music has sounded about the same for the last twenty years.  This is but a tool used by corporate interests to keep you sexually frustrated, mentally dull, ignorant of reality and, most importantly, returning to their product.</p>
<p>Do the world a favor and listen to real music.  There&#8217;s a lot of it out there&#8230;and it&#8217;s not on the radio or MTV.</p>
