Citizen X Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Popular music is hypnotizing the masses to buy into the current consumer culture. Popular songs on the radio are coded with subliminal messages that guide us into purchasing the newest trend, or amazing gadget. Why have so many ran out and bought Ipods? Because the Music is telling them to! Its a way to tap into the minds of all of us, and persuade us to buy stuff. Think about it.
iggyjoan Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 yeah cause you know so many songs are like 'doowah doowah go buy a ipod doowah doowah!' interesting fact: i do not have an ipod. so there.
Sojourner Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 it's true. That's why I bought an iPod, because music told me to. And because I wanted music always with me.
Citizen X Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 I would start watching your purchases. If its stuff you wouldn't normally be interested in, I would switch off the Ipod. Fast.
jeffpugh Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 If I was to buy an Ipod I'd pretty much load it with my old LPs (of choral music) that I've ripped and some Gregorian chant recordings... because they're filled with the messages saying "buy an ipod..." :drools: Seriously, I think the only thing drawing people to buy ipods is boredom and/or greed.
cmotherofpirl Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 they are probably cameras and tracking devices

jeffpugh Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Oh yeah... if you don't mind asking, what is your mission statement for being here? We all pretty much have one... I'm pretty much curious now... you're agenda seems random. Go figure.

jeffpugh Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Oops... too late... I guessed you would say that. You told me what I wanted to hear Edited April 2, 2007 by Sacred Music Man
Citizen X Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 Its not the mission but the journey to get there that's important.

And with the speakers it is a much more compact, portable system overall. Since I'm going to be moving a lot over the next few years I am trying to be as compact as possible. And because the music told me too.
jeffpugh Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Fair enough. I enjoy a good slice of silent pie sometimes. But then, I have this thing where I can play music in my head, either stuff I've heard repetitively or otherwise made up (it disappears after a while unless I write it down and play it back...). Anywho I guess it's useful to block out other noises as well.
iggyjoan Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 lol TAKE THAT citizen X... YZ... now i know my ABCs nex time wont u... lol srry.. or am i? *evil grin*
Citizen X Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 Take what? I stay away from the blue pills.
