Hot Tub Time Machine and other downfalls of modern Western Civilisation

Now, I have become a grumpy old lady and I'm only 20! My god, 20! That feels old for me but I am what many bingo-winged ladies would refer to as a "spring-chicken"! And I like chicken and I love spring, so I guess this is a good thing! HOWEVER, there is something significantly disturbing about being a grumpy old lady at the tender loin - I mean age - of 20 but I have come up with a rationalisation (as any good Freudian psychoanalyst will confirm) and here it is: technology is moving too fast to keep up with. As a wise Jackson Jackson song once said "you need to buy this new thing and if you have it, well, the new better version of the thing you have, well it just came out!" And this is what technology is these days. I just can't keep up!

Example:
These new cars that have a start/stop button. WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THIS!? Let me say that the only people I can excuse for driving these cars are old people because they are unaware that they are unnecessary and are always on the hunt for a way to appear more up to date and hip that any other generation of old people EVER! So, they are excused!
Now let me just say that I was involved in a conversation the other day about these cars and seriously, i think that it sums up how lazy and shit the human race has become.
Person1 (me): those cars are so stupid
Person2: Nah, they are really cool
Me: seriously, how hard is it to turn the FUCKING ignition?!
Person2 and 3: If you don't have to do it why do it at all?
Me: See, this is what's wrong with the world.
Denis: Exactly!

Ok, that one was self explanatory, so here's another: Hot Tub Time Machine. And let me preface this by saying that anything that describes itself as "fall out of your chair hilarious, it's not. If it's a decent movie it will say something like "charming and witty and a testament to the poet....or some such nonsense. Hot Tub Time Machine an example of how people can make a movie out of anything and name it so literally so as not to leave any intrigue. Now, years ago, this would have been a dilemma because directors and producers would have wanted to get higher ratings and so make money and they would come up with original comedies such as "Blazing Saddles" and so forth but NOW they are allowed to produce things like this and "Snakes on a Plane" because everyone in Hollywood has enough money to just make these shitty movies without significant plot, interest or intrigue because they have so much goddamn money. (fucking capitalists)

NOW we have the music issue. I have got a song called "I Like To Fuck". Sex has been a common theme in modern music for a long time but before it was more subtle and people would at least have some standards as to how explicit they were. For instance they wouldn't call it something as blatent as "I Like to Fuck", they would be more subltle and call it something like "Getting Jiggy With It". The Spice Girls were less successful on the subtle front with song lyrics such as "I wanna make you holla and hear you scream my name" and just plain "naked". Sure, it's one's choice to listen to these dirty gangester songs in the first place but that's beside the point. I mean,"Getting Jiggy With It" gives the young listener something to model themselves on "I got a cigga- cigar from cuba-cubarr. I just bite it, it's for the look, I don't light it"! Some might call this "being a poser" but I say there we have some morals. Let's all pretend to smoke, not actually smoke! (sorry to all you smokers out there, it's nothing personal!) wait, I think this song is about being hip and not sex, but anyhow....a better example is "Afternoon Delight".

But aside from shitty movies, which, since Date Movie, have frequented cinemas and homes alike (you really think people would learn not to watch these shitty movies at home) the thing that inspired me to detail just a few of society's major pitfalls was the article I saw about some "sin-binning" incident, but more specifically, the "fans feedback" column next to the article where it literally took me 2 or 3 readings of their incoherent scrawls to decipher what they were actually trying to say. This is because in their apparent rage they skipped letters in words, they added words and they changed what they were going to say half way through the sentence to form complete babble. I don't know what I expect from football fans but let's remember that there was a time where football fans were all the upper-class snobs enjoying hunting and private schools in England.

One more thing: Shorts that don't entirely cover your butt = underpants, and a society that wears their underpants in public is one that isn't going to last.

Sing me a song, NO NOT THAT ONE!

So i like music, but most people do. And many people who have talked about it have had more profound things to say than what I do.
Some would argue that I don't like music, they would say that i like "noise" (mother) or "anything lacking melody isn't music". But everyone can get fucked. I like my music and y'all are entitled to like yours.
But has anyone else noticed how much people will stand by their favourite bands etc. They love them, they won't hear a word against them, or their favourite genre. They get defensive if you don't like it or say anything bad about it. I mean, if you got a new shirt and i said "your shirt is like someone whacked my retinas with a baseball bat" you'd be offended but you probably wouldn't be like "hell no, that's my favourite shirt, it's so great, the threading is second to none and it's so comfy it's comparable to a bed!" Or something. But if i said "your music is like someone took a dump in my left ear" you'd be all like "nah, fuck you! It's awesome, it's so complex and it's so relaxing, it's like someone's massaging my frontal lobe with their über soft baby hands" Or something. Anyway, you get my point.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's bad i'm just saying it's definitely a trend. My best friend and boyfriend, both of whom i love dearly, have the exact opposite taste in music to me. It's not even like they preach it to be awesome or anything but it bugs me when i have to sit there and listen to another chorus of "i got a whole inside and it's 10 miles wide"...yeah ok, i know the lyrics but that's because i was subject to endless drives (which i greatly appreciate) while listening to Escape the Fate on repeat. To be fair they were both pulling their hair out (and my boyfriend even left my house once) while i was busting a rhyme to Dr. Dre. (he might just have been scared away by my dancing.

But WHY?

Now, the only thing i can think of is that it's such a defining part of you, and you put it on the table and when someone says to you "your music is shit" it's like they've said to you "you are a shit person and i think you should be gauged in they rectal area by a baseball bat." I mean, as for the shirt example, I guess it's still a way of showing your personality but you have less invested in it. This is because shirts rarely say anything that you relate to, or you feel is directed specifically at you, which is what many songs/bands do for people. The only reason i can see someone getting equally as offended as when they are wearing their favourite band t-shirt.
