4merper4mer Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Sex sells. Always has, always will. Although this is true, and I have made $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ from that very concept, there was more to the link than just that. I'd say the main theme, intended or not, was the death of individualism. There is pressure on individualism from the right, the left, and yes even from some of Greggy's conspiratorial overlords.....the non-imagined, non-alien ones. Individualism can never truly die IMO because it is wired into all of us. It can however, be held down and crushed for long periods. We are in one of those periods now and as time goes on the stakes of these dangers get higher. We are in a high stakes game now. If we lose, it won't be permanent, but it may last a generation and it won't be pretty.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Sex sells. Always has, always will. And TV is still unwatchable! I like a few things but mostly I don't watch much anymore
Thirdborn Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 Sex sells. Always has, always will. There was nothing sexy in that video, just vapid gyrating and pit fighting
BringBackFergy Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Great video. Have to agree with pretty much everything he said. "Art" used to involve beauty, talent, and how a particular piece contributes toward personal growth as a member of a community....now "art" is empty, a placebo with no originality and one driving force...fame. This leads to a society which constantly looks to "top" one another with selfies, videos of outrageous acts, etc. It's empty rather than uplifting. Sad.

But there are still micro outlets for many other forms of art. I've been associated with folk art in some forms and that seems to be healthy for its narrow focus.

I get your point and there will always be a counter culture, but the fact remains, that the most popular forms of art (currently influencing our next generation) are stale with no societal value (e.g. selfies, Facebook fights, LAMP posts, modern "RAP", etc.)

Thirdborn Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 You're not implying that, in it's day, this was the equivalent to a Twerking miley Cyrus ...... are you? I hope that I have misunderstood your intent.

Chef Jim Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Not to mention, this is the picture that is really in his bedroom. You really let the wife go with the pink walls?? You're not implying that, in it's day, this was the equivalent to a Twerking miley Cyrus ...... are you? I hope that I have misunderstood your intent. You're overthinking it.
