These subcultures are systematically preyed upon by Big Music and their practices are "intellectualy laundered" by minds such as your own, or, say, a Tyler Cowen - despite your own finer artistic sensibilities that can actually *feel* the differences between schlock but can't yet articulate why it would matter to fight for this 'value,' let alone evolve/involve the institutionality necessary to transfigure such giddily (mindlessly) free corporate manufacturing traditions. So the real sin is not cowardice (which I could get into, but won't), it's an undifferentiated, unintegrated philosophical outlook that (now, speaking contemporaneously), reifiies modernity's conditions for it's own safe sake (comfort zone's anyone)! In the existential game of societal-cultural evolutionary-involutionary opportunities, folks such as yourself have been handed the ball (a very fortunate opportunity!), but you summarily drop the ball, too easily distracted by the hot chick in the bleachers showin' you her silicon breasts while holding up a sign that reads: "Free Markets! Free Milk! Fuggedaboutit!" Madonna *is* an even worse consideration whilst we note that her manufactured persona actually dares to incorporate rebelliousness, independence as virtues, when we all know she's proven herself by now to be anything but. I realize this is old hat to you, but hey, you did the invoking of the subject matter! ;) Yet still, in case you query deeper, this *is* precisely the postmodern condition at work: differing narrativities of the good/true/beautiful duking it out (or dukkha-ing it out) rather unproductively - rather wastefully, all for the release - rarely for the integration. And if you can *get* that the criticality is at the reconstructive post-modern narrativity juncture (post-rational, living and operating munificently from being needs vs deficiency needs) and not at the rationalist-conformity wave of development juncture (mythic-membership, concrete-operational) then the "reframing" is profoundly powerful, especially as the "self" "self-deconstructs" - the new open space and renewed innocence marvelousl Now that's Liberty with a capital L! And the old statist-vs-minarchist jig is quickly up! And therein the real work can begin - and, surprise, it's fun! As far as mono-naming's go, I'd say I'm more like: Osho Ghandi Penntellerboazthreeways Dougbandowscandal God It'd be so awesome if you simple became "Will"!
