Yeah, I have a very hard time understanding the people who can't understand basic economic theory. Money is the motivating factor for most of our society - maybe it shouldn't be, but it is. And that isn't objectively a bad thing, it's just a true thing.
And, OK, I'm a socialist, but I don't begrudge people trying to make a living, I just have a problem with people who do it and then claim that they are in it for the art or somesuch nonsense. I get offended on behalf of the real artists. That's why it is a lot easier for me to reconcile the pop thing than the emo bands thing, because, like you said, they never claimed to be anything they weren't.
And, ok, they're authentic or whatever - sure. I don't know the actual histories of these bands, but this isn't an objective judgment - it's a gut feeling. They aren't going to change my mind, or my understanding of capitalism, so *shrugs,* we'll just have to disagree.
I probably won't get those people though - I don't actually have that many people on my flist, so I suspect this will pass mostly unnoticed. Which is fine because it was mostly intended as a comment on your post, although, really? I never get involved in anything, so it might be kind of fun to do so. *grins*
In conclusion: CHRIS. WITH GOGGLES. Somehow I've managed to never realize before yesterday that he was actually REALLY FUCKING HOT. I don't know how this happened, but it's, like, a revelation. I think he's maybe one of those people who doesn't capture well in still photos, but does on video, because he is always moving. *is off to youtube*
Oh, I fucking love Chris and I would have his BABIES and I hate babies and don't ever want them but seriously, I would have Chris's. I think Chris is pretty hot in all carnations, from 90s skater hair to pineapple head to spikes to beard horns. He's wearing goggles all over Germany, for some reason i can't fathom, but I don't care because it's AWESOME and it's soooo Chris. He doesn't take good pictures, but video is awesome. If you find the one of him pretending to be Canadian and chasing down Nsync's opening act on golf cart... that and No Mercy is when I fell in love with Chris :P
