Just to make it clear...

I think my brother in his comment to my previous post went completely off the topic, maybe he even took it personal, and started defending this or that about a bunch of people, then talking about the semantics of the word "culture" - "subculture"... and after all that proposing a silly utopia where all emos, goths, and indies could have a nice talk together... I liked his comment, it was well written, and the idea is good... there, I'm in safe now.

The thing is that I wasn't against a subculture or a set of ideas, or just a bunch of people that get together because they have some stuff in common. That is fine. I even wrote "it's not that I agree completelly, but it's some idea worth exploring", which was of course a feeble attempt to let my self off the hook and just play with an idea without making people think I am all radical about it.

Victor said "To name a sub-culture, to narrow it to a few ways of being is a crime and prejudice." I completelly agree... but... was does it have to do with my post?!?!?!?!.... Ok, so, if it was about maddox's article that's fine. But me?. I was trying to talk about the social implications, and why do we do that as a generation?. Which hole are we trying to fill in with new subcultures and ideas?. Why is there so much of an identity crisis now a days?.

Then, after talking about his utopy, victor closes with "It will be hard though, we people tend to discriminate others and segregate ourselves all the time in the name of that -belonging-". That does, somehow, relate more to the topic.

I think Tyler Durden from Fight Club words it well when he sais:
Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

That's what I was talking about in my post, at least that's what I wanted to talk about. Maybe I did it the wrong way, or sounded too harsh on the people that "try to be different" . My point though, is about the drives that we all have in our lives, and whatever makes us do this or that.

Ok then, cheers.

ps. whatever.
