Thoughts from The Sound of Muzak and others

The music of the future
Will not entertain
It's only meant to repress
And neutralise your brain

It is true that music has degraded to a point where there are repetitive lyrics, for example an entire song and just be on one word like Umbrella. :\ It sounds almost trance like when I hear a friend sing that "Please don't stop the music...music" song =.= So this song by Porcupine Tree - The Sound of Muzak - is made up of a single constant riff at the beginning to express that repetitive trance-likeness of the music of today. Its the age of pop. Music doesn't satisfy like the oldies. Wonder why people will forever love oldies but forget the lyrics to that pop song or rap song they were so into about a month ago?

Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills

Almost like a drug music of today is slowly ruining the minds of people and its cheap music because you can't see much effort or time spent put into make that music. What do people go for now? Do people go for band concerts because the music is good? Or is it because the frontman is cute? (Generally for girls [I'm sorry for the stereotype but its not my fault you just fit it perfectly] and some guys) I wouldn't say that rock, or metal or progressive music that I listen to is the BEST kind of music but hey, from the music I get hardwork, passion and a good taste in sound. As of today I only know ONE, girl who enjoys my kind of music. (And yea Ok I don't know that many but still.)

Oh yea one more thing. (Lawl Uncle moment from Jackie Chan Adventures)
Equal rights between male and female? Go grow a dick. Geez. Yes I have to put it that crudely.
On one end you hear equal rights for women. On the other, men must do this this this and this because you are men. Men are supposed to protect women in every sense of the word (Paula quote on the spot) =.= I am tired, are women so entirely helpless that they need protecting? I think not. But, no go on and pretend to be completely useless beings that you are. Men and women are essentially different alright. It makes sense I guess that men do more (not all) manual labor because our musculature is greater than a woman's. Ah whatever la. I guess males are not perfect either, we do have our own shortcomings. But as I see it, still better than women. HA HA HA.
