my perspective
am new here ... i thought they d be discussions about relevant counter cultures or underground cultures... instead of mainstream bashing.. why don't you be happy you are not part of the mainstream, that the millions are hypnotized into.. in a way everyone in this community too forms a stream.... and from one perspective.. we are mainstream as well.. just because you hate Ekta Kapur or pop music that does not make you unique of different... mainstream is not hating a genre of music.. thats just stupidity.. its equal to racism and prejudice.. it only means you don't want to take the time out and actually listen to the music because you have comfortably done away with the entire genre of pop.. which is pathetic..
and please don't tell me none of you conform.. the guys in India.. the moment you ll heard of lp everyone started donning t shirts with the band and got piercings and yelling 'look at me i like rock'... wearing your pants where pants are not supposed to be worn... and girls.. come on...... skinny jeans , straightened hair and those big bags... fuck.. everyone looks like a bunch of clones...
mainstream is an entire topic... instead of discussing why you hate the movies, and fashion ( which is what i just did) .... bring up a discussion on counter culture or off beat movies you would suggest..
anyhow peace to everyone... and you know what .. its ok to go to the other side once in a while.. it just helps you feel better about yourself, the soothing thought that you have not been brainwashed into watching crap or living a cloned life.

ReplyDeletei agree partially...but somtimes instead of checking entire collection, you just check a sample and extrapolate the inference.
but yeah, being different is in thing. people are so into being different, just for heck of it, that it is now becoming the new mainstream. but then talk to them, you always know who is a faker and who is not.
one of the more cliched stuff is any new football "fan" in india will be crazy about manchester united and england. anyone says that and its more than an indicator of being a newbie :)
anywyas it was a nice nice read..
