Under Attack

March 2, 2013 By Daniel Mihai Popescu 2 Comments

America is under an attack to the good taste, but what I say, not only America, the whole world is under the same attack. It seems Jay-Z and Beyoncé are everywhere, as Rihanna and Chris Brown are also everyday in the news. The “music” created by Jay-Z is of a value known by himself. If the next Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart would appear, people won’t be able to recognize him, nor to appreciate him. People call “genius” trash like this:

But I know that if I stay stunting
All these girls only gon’ want one thing
I could spend my whole life “Good Will Hunting”
Only good gon’ come is as good when I’m coming
She got a ass that’ll swallow up a g-string
And up top, uh, two bee stings
And I’m beasting off the riesling
And my nigga just made it out the precinct
– from “Run This Town”

People may be even induced that it’s a color thing, now Beyoncé is talented and the Democrats are smarter. If you’re a Democrat Party member, you hang on with the likes of George Clooney, and if you are a Republican Party member, you end up by holding hands with Robert Duvall or Jon Voight. You see the difference, I guess.

It is obvious that the culture seems at stake. If the “new culture” is represented by more money gained per product, it’s business, not culture. See Beyoncé & JayBey, Rihanna, Kanye West, the Kardashians, Fifty Shades of Grey. It is the direct line to Idiocracy, a movie I considered revolutionary. The irony seems to be lost today, even the rating is very poor.

Do we have what we deserve? I see this kind of deterioration everywhere in the world, the cultural non-values are promoted because they make more money. What are we going to do? We encourage the manifestation of Idiocracy because we are lazy and don’t want to think with our heads. We have bills to pay, we do not have enough time for us. We let ourselves squeezed of our life juices just for the sake of it, and we don’t even care any more. I understand President’s Obama point of view, but you, you don’t have a view of your own? So people spent a billion and a half to endorse something like Fifty Shades of Gray. This is the end of a world where people knew who Bach was. This is the world of a swindler like Edison, not a real genius like Tesla. This world’s handlers are making life good for themselves, not for you. So, you’re duped in believing that by playing along, you would be like them…

A joke is a joke, and it’s as good as it gets. Here’s what happens if you don’t like Beyoncé.
 

I have updated this post in October 2014, with this SNL video made after I initially wrote it.

    Wow! Beyonce must be proud of her. Imagine the President of the United States said she’s like Michelle Obama. I bet she got some awesome talents too when it comes to singing or dancing.

      I don’t understand your comment. I also had to edit the link to your website in order to appear as a working site, not a 404…
