I wish I had been alive in the nineteen sixties. Back then, popular music actually had an identity. Oh, to see the Beatles or Led Zeppelin in concert... Unfortunately, humatons managed to infiltrate this, as they do everything. I supposed it started with the Monkees. These guys were overt actors; the band even started life as a TV show about a struggling young rock band. After a while, however, it was decided to actually release some songs by the band. Though they did not write their own songs or play their own instruments, they did sing with their real voices, and possessed a respectable amount of talent.
At some point, someone found out that a guy called Milli Vanilli (or something) was caught miming. This caused a huge uproar. Nowadays, actually singing one's own songs or playing one's own instruments is so rare that it is seen as a valid gimmick.
Black Sabbath's debut album was recorded in three days. Boyzone for one album spent two days trying to sing two lines in unison, and eventually the producers had to use technology to get it right.
There was recently a series of ads on TV where a person or group of people go into what appears to be a photo booth, but the screen inside asks them what they would really love to be. They press a few button and come out as that person. The point of the ads is something to do with the company not being able to produce miracles, but being able to do a lot. Anyway, in one of them, a guy goes in and selects 'professional rugby player.' He emerges over two metres tall, seventy centimetres thick, with a rugby ball and in the England rugby
kit. Fair enough. In another, a group of girls go in and select 'pop stars.' They emerge in skimpy clothes. It is odd that this is what is seen as the main thing about pop stars and not legions of screaming fans or a tendency to sing.
All this is the work of the controllers of the Matrix, utilizing humatons as fodder for more money. People see that there is a lot of money to be made from pop culture and hire the most attractive people they can find in order to maximize profits. The women they get are
made to wear clothes that prostitutes would consider slutty, then they are essentially made to strip. I suspect that if TVs are ever put in bathrooms, than sales of Britney Spears videos will skyrocket.
The men, meanwhile, are allowed to wear only brand name clothes. They must be blond and very pretty. They must make every effort to appear gay, but under no circumstances are they actually allowed to be gay. Pop stars of either sex are not legally allowed to sing
well, or with any originality.
Big business begins by seeing what people like, then subtly changing it in initially good ways, then ways to maximize profit, until before we knew it, they were telling us what we like. We like to wear brand name clothes which, though attractive by virtue of what some designer says, do not last more than a few months at max. We like girls to dress like cheap prostitutes, whether famous or not. If we are girls, we like to dress that way.
Now, being an eighteen year old male, I naturally tend to enjoy the sight of female skin, though I also like my sex to be legal. 1 However, enough is enough. If I simply walk down a busy street, I probably see more skin than my grandfather ever saw in his lifetime. 2 This is actually a bad thing. So much exposed skin gets us used to it, and this may be one of the reasons so many modern men have erection disorders. Also, the sight of so much female flesh cannot be
good for those who wish to avoid rape.
Humatons think that all this is good. Damn humatons.
Until we meet again, my friend, this is Hussassan, signing off.
