Mostly about the 'Goth' scene perverting and warping the minds of young people. It apparently causes them to hurt themselves and others, againth their will mind you! They don't want to do these things! It's the music! It's scientifically proven. The people in the TV say so. So it must be true. TV doesn't lie, and no one on TV would abuse their power to propagate a myth that has persisted for the entire century. Anyway, back to my text file. It has occurred to me that turnabout is fair play, so I will now endeavor to prove that all drug usage during the 1960's was caused by the Doors, Jimmi Hendrix, The Beatles, et infinitum. *ahem* *Points Camera at self* The lyrics of the bands of the 60's, alluding to Marijuana smoking, the usage of LSD and many other ilicit drugs caused the unwilling corruption of thousdand and millions of Americans. Point proved? No... I don't think so. I would like to ask anyone who reads this to think a little for themselves. We all knwo that many socio-economic factors go into the general music and lifestyle trends of any age group or generation. During the 60's the time was right for people to get high and rebel like they never rebelled before. In the 90's the goth scene is a showing of the large number of youths disaffected by the power hungry and success driven people ho run this country and our lives (well, at least the parts beyond our control). It's not there because it wants to corrupt America's youth, it's been there since the 80's, and is only now becoming popular because it appeals to a large portion of the population. Art imitates life, not vice-versa. Anyone who thinks otherwise os severely dilluded and needs an extensive ass kicking by reality. Don't accept the reasons given to you! Think for yourself! Mediocrity must not rule our lives! [--------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ (c) !LA HOE REVOLUCION PRESS! HOE #620 - WRITTEN BY: ALTROCKS - 5/9/99 ]
