I could think of no other title for this blog post. I can think of no other term to fully encapsulate modern Britain... modern, world... eugh!
I recently asked my facebookers what I should hate and recieved "twilight, Justin Beiber, Jedward" etc. The big names of IQ-less popular fandom. I don't fucking understand the world now. I fail to comprehend why we wish to dumb ourselves down more and more until their is nothing left but a husk of bitching and bras (because, sadly, from experience, it appears women are the ones lowering themselves to new levels of intelligencelessness). I say that in the nicest possible way. I do not mean to offend women by saying, you are all fucking stupid, but sadly a large portion of you are. A large intense portion of femalia are utter bitches with more brain crammed into their heads as good song lyrics are found in Snoop Dogg. I will move onto the madness of men, later.
I shall begin my observations of stupidity with the following website, http://www.mylifeistwilight.com/ . Upon said website people post events, in a twatter like fashion, on events they deem twilight-like. For example, take this:
#35364 - May 24, 2010 12:14 PM by BELLA_ - Random - So twilight! (191) - Needs more twilight.. (1816)
Apparently said comment needs more twilight, says 1816 thousand twilight fans. However, 191 people... thats the population of a small village, deem is perfectly acceptable to say, "OMG! LIEK, MY HAIR IS SOOOOO LIEK BELLAS! OMG!" ... I'll let that sink in. In short 191 fellow twilighters see any reflection, link, mirrored fact, slight observance, sound, colour, texture or moment as like twilight. This, I believe, is much the same as some psychological ailments that are treated with diazapan and shock treatment. "OMG, LIKE, I WAS WALKING.... LIKE EDWARD!" Just fuck off, just... fuck... off! Twilight has somehow lured people into a false sense of security as part of this new age of easy-media. Basically media has evolved into a state where people wish not to be tested intellectually (for fun, I might add; already people will read the words "test" and "intellectually" and believe exams are on the menu, when in fact its sometimes fun to enter as one Bill Bailey called on QI, a world of knowing)... I continue, its evolved into a state where people do not need to comprehend huge facts, debate or wonder - not even be inspired - merely absorb, giggle and fuck off. Twilight fills a glorious niche, much as Mills and Boon short stories did for Holiday Romance Fiction, but Mills and Boon did not drive people insane. They filled a niche, formed a clique, and allowed people to absorb some quick fiction before returning to a life mentally worth while. Twilight however has gained so much popularity it has formed crowds, swarms, of obsessed teens. They care not for intelligence of fact, or to develop themselves emotionally (as a Jacqueline Wilson novel might), intellectually (as a fine Stephen King might) or socially (as some graphic novels succeed in as they are intelligent and have a fine fan base)... no, what Twilight successfully does is give people pleasure so easy to absorb one does not expel energy into reading the novel but gains more. Instead of having to use cognitive prowess to read, they merely absorb, like a sponge of doom and peril, so that by the end the horniess of the novel is imparted into the teen turning them into ravenous sex-emos and indie scene wannabes.
I would like to point out I have just posted the following message onto said website, awaiting replies:
OMG! I LIEK REALIZED TODAY I WAS SOOO LIKE EDWARD. i WAS WALKING AND TALKING TO PEOPLE AND LIEK EDWATD DOES THAT TOO OMG
I sadly have to wait to see if it has been uploaded. I fear it won't be, in case I make an emo kill itself.
Music has also taken this hideous down turn; Jedward was first off the mark taking old songs, barely rewriting them, a bit of white trash rapping Stephen Fry detests, add in a old celebrity in need to pay off some debts and away you go. Jedward ceased to make music about anything. It is merely a noise one can squeal too hysterically again imparting energy of joy at a world so simplistic one now can do fuck all in it and still do well. Jedward is music without purpose, filling again that niche that "Shut uppa ya face" did when it put the glory of "Vienna" by Ultravox as N.o2 in the charts.
Justin Beiber similarly has the same approach but with pedobear dancing in the background.
why hello there ;)

Some very valid comments, I do also believe that there are an increasing number of 'idiots' around us. But you are criticising what makes people happy I rather criticise the way that people look at the world. If twilight, football or the beiber make people happy who are we to pick at that and judge really? Surely that makes us the idiots because instead of focusing on ourselves and what we want from life we constantly question those around us, and now lets be honest where will that get us? I fully agree I look around and see people left right and centre of me conforming to trends and the 'normalities' of life and that winds me up because there are less and less individuals in this world. People who stand out from the crowd for the right reasons. I think you should have a look at conformity in the public as that's were I believe we are going wrong. Because yes people who like twilight can go OTT with it but then they also enjoy it and I can tell you now its better to be obsessed with a number of books than some of the things in life.
ReplyDeleteI believe, Mr. Anonymous, you fail to note the purpose of this blog.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in reply: if we take on the idea that we are allowed to be happy and that is our main aim, the human race will surely die out in a glittery vampire filled shit storm
