Top 40 Thread!!!!!
est:
Nnnnnngh, I want to make a decent post in here, but it's late and my mind doesn't want to co-operate. Suffice to say for the moment that Khar is the person I would be the closest to in principle. The top 40 in general is a steaming pile of crap, and I am genuinely surprised if I ever find out that a decent song is in it. That said, it's generally not the music itself that makes me so angry, more the machinery that churns the whole process out.
tricia kidd:
if only people would get half as mad about the food and drug industries as they do about music and hollywood.
KharBevNor:
Er, people are pretty fucking incensed about the food and drug industries last time I checked.
tricia kidd:
some people, sure. but you can't deny there do exist people who rage about mainstream music and hollywood but don't really give a crap about food and drug issues. a lot of people aren't even aware that the drug industry is so massively fucked up and are perfectly willing to take their prozac/zoloft/lexapro because it "makes them feel better" without contextualizing or even considering the possible underlying causes making them feel miserable in the first place. shit, there are people who believe the propaganda that those drugs "fix chemical imbalances" like lithium does and therefore there isn't an external reason they feel like shit.
food industry is even more toned-down in my experience, from living with some hardcore activists over the past several years "food industry" tends to be way down on their list of Stuff To Worry About. they tend to get more angry at wal-mart than mcdonald's.
a pack of wolves:
Makes sense, Wal-Mart's a bigger company I believe and therefore has more power.
Also, Prozac is an SSRI so if you're having problems with low serotonin levels it could fix a chemical imbalance. Depression isn't necessarily caused by external causes. They're massively over-prescribed in a dangerous way, but it's not like they have no therapeutic value or are just used to pacify people.
