New coke
I am getting real sick of a certain genre of music videos -- actually, music videos in general just plain suck and have always sucked -- maybe 10 videos all time are even mildly noteworthy in any way.
Ill rattle them off for you right now:
In any case, the type of video I'm getting at is the one that shows 3-5 people sitting at home, staring into space, while the "artist" sing/raps/yodels about how they "just wish it would get better" and "why their modern life makes them feel empty -- even though it looks so good to everybody else".
GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!!
We get it -- I saw American Beauty, the Ice Storm, et al. -- suburban life is sad and everything sucks. How much more whiny can you get? The majority of the people in this world drink water out of the same piss-puddle their cows shit in, but my life sucks because daddy works too much. Get the fuck over it.
100 years ago, people's lives were hard. When you have to fetch water from the well five times a day and you work 6 days a week 18 hours a day, your life is hard. People who sleep on floors have a hard life. These people can complain ... although usually they don't know any better.
Pink -- she has no right to complain. Her social commentary is absolutely 100% worthless. My Chemical Romance? Don't get me started.
When you have Xbox and order dominoes, your life is not hard. Yes, keeping up with the Joneses can be stessful, but you know what -- nobody's going to steal you from your house and make you join some bullshit hillbilly liberation army if you drive a Ford Focus instead of an import.

Ill rattle them off for you right now:
- Smells like teen spirit
- Baby got back
- Video killed the radio star (I think this was the first video)
- Paranoid Android (changed my life)
- Triumph
- No rain
- Tennessee
- Whip it
- Everybody hurts (even though R.E.M. is garbage, gotta give them credit for that one)
- November rain
