Karma karma karma karm chameleon, red gold and green, red gold and green
Wake me up before you go go
2000s also bring a lot of people who do the same shit. Even if its original at first you have 30392 clowns copying it and doing the exact same thing. Its harder to stand out and when you do you are yesterdays news before you know it…seems like things lasted a bit longer in the 1990s opposed to now…
You have some cool bands, mostly indie, but they blow up really fast and then they sprout 87234 copycats the next day broadcasting on youtube or making friends on myspace. This almost makes it more important to be the next best thing than actually making an effort.
Its a cry out for being special being hammered to death the next day.
This counts for everything: from cars to houses to clothes and music…everything gets Ikeanized or H&M-ved.
Makes it harder to enjoy something…

Anyone remember in the wedding singer where George is singing “Do you really wanna hurt me” and the crowd is yelling “YOU SUCK!” I always get a kick out of that.
That reminds me Billy Idol was in The Wedding Singer and Billy Idol totally kicks ass.

Anyway, H&M is sure the most popular clothes chain, everbody get their clothes there even celebrities combinate high fashion stuff with H&M pantsor tees. But I still will buy my own clothes there, H&M rules ;D

the speed of communication and information is too fast today. People get bored with things too easily because of this. The entire planet has ADD now. Why learn to play the guitar when you can get some stupid-ass video game that will allow you to do it easier?
I have ADD and I play guitar and I hate that commerical where you see some little kid playing an plastic guitar…wtf?!? Pick up a real guitar you jerkoff.

Not just fight club…but Castells, van Dijk, Jakle, Albert-László and more… even Nietzsche and Marx and Adorno have foreseen this…chuck palahniuk did his homework 
H&M is great though…cheap stuff that is actually pretty neat 
Nice to go on a shopping spree there
See, I knew you love H&M too ;D
Only the Ikea idea was very Fight-Club-like, for the rest, sure all the ones you mentionned did that before Palahniuk (I never remember his complete name, thanks to write it before me)
Critique on IKEA is quickly a fight club fanboy thing…as I am too
But still its true…it has certain advantages, but I am still hoping for some sort of revolution which brings back originality, but I am afraid we are beyond a certain point in which technology cant be stopped.
1990s are certainly the era in which the information technology sprouted very fast…

What about Toxic and the new song of Britney, Gimme More ?
What about Raging Bull introduction track by Pietro Mascagni from the opera, Cavalleria Rusticana ?
Nah, I’m teasing you, don’t even answer.

What is everyone getting out of it in your view? Maybe its a transition period in which the world will be truly globalised and when we understand more of eachother or have become exactly the same more or less as everyone else we can do something about making the world better or something
We can’t nothing again globalization, well, not exactly, we shouldn’t stop it but control it. If we’re getting all the same, then bye bye human world, I wanna stay an alien. Ahah, no, more seriously, I hope people are more intelligent and know when to stop and keep differencies between everyone. Special people are the most valuable in this world and there sure is a way and people to make this world better.
I think this generation may very well be remembered as the youtube generation. Any bum can now have a short period of fame just filming himself uttering bullshit on his camera while locked in his parents’ basement. Like that transvestite that became famous around the world because she cried for Britney Spears on camera while lying on her grandma’s bed. The whole concept of fame has been cheapened to a new extreme. Why should you work hard and sweat just to be recognised by the world when you can become famous just by being the laziest bum in the world? Things aren’t what they used to be.

or if someone on an internet forum pisses you off you just type "Fuck off and die"
a 12 year old can say this to a 24 year old without consequences. It is totally out of control. The worst part is that with all of this technology, most people have turned their computers into high-tech masturbation devices. What a shame.
Scar: Thats the truth!!
There is an Aesop’s fable that says that familiarity ends prejudice. I think that this is very true and we are seeing it more and more as we are able to communicate with people who live on the other side of the planet. A hundred years ago I would have only had the opportunity to meet most of you in a war. Now we’re all here talking about movies and music. I think that is a very cool thing. Don’t take it for granted.
Or we could have been part of the Manson cult. I would warn Roman Polanski about the murdering of his wife.
Freedom and intelligence is always cool. Stupidity and ignorance is not.
