Millenial dread

Bearing in mind that identity has outgrown it’s use; enigma’s scrambled, and all dares protested, this admission may be a shot in the dark . . . seeing as nihilism is hard to resist in 2008. In short / we are bound to no one or anything. This is just a fourth-rate attempt at collating any precious thought retained, due to exceptional, tedious experience, then channeling into a satisfactory arena. Hopefully, we’re not past the point of no return. Just seething with expectation that may never come. Billy Corgan has yielded. Well, most of the generation before us has. That is of no consequence. They now only serve as chaperones into tomorrow. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/oct/17/smashing-pumkins-anniversary The era bookended by My Own Private Idaho and The Matrix; Automatic for the People and Return of Saturn; was a last effort at authenticity, regarded by those who fashioned it as a ghastly reminder at what can be, but never will due to ill will and scaled awareness. This may be all too obvious, or lingered upon - trying to fit into the high school clothes that don't fit any longer.That's a paraphrased quotation of Corgan's... According to Of Montreal's over the hill frontman, Kevin Barnes, not selling out is, "an impossible code that no one can actually live by." This sort of cowardice diminishes the great effort many have taken in order to preserve integrity. Never compromise. It's too easy to concede. If you believe it to be okay, you're either too old to be ostentatious; of any consequence, or Henry Rollins.
