It's that weird kind of what I guess you could call hypocrisy that bugs me
when musicians start talking out of their asses about how bad and wrong all of it is.
That consumer culture and their product is what put them there.
I guess that means that if you sell one album album—you're a sellout.
Or make one thing that someone likes and then buys—you're a sellout.

I think only a band like Fugazi can make statements like that and not look like total hypocrites.
But now that Ian MacKaye's dead and all... well... .

I agree on the hypocritical fact there. Not many live by the rules they preach of. And that seems to be more and more common.

Especially the politicians.

Another thing one of swedens most credible rock/punk personas Jocke Thåström once wrote a song called "Alla vill till himmelen= Everyone want to go to heaven" and in the song the lyrics are like... "everyone wants to go to heaven and ride in a limousine off course". I think that is similar to the consumer hypocrisy. Did that make sense uhh maybe I am tired.

Six in 10 consumers see recession: survey | U.S. | Reuters

"...For those who said they will spend more than $1,000 this holiday season,
46.8 percent said nothing could make them spend less than they planned."

Oh really? That sounds like a challenge.

I think it's not about any sort of actual "designers" but more about a flawed designer culture. What Mike said and Denny too...

I go home and Jerk off is another line... like, the culture spends so much time and attention to get laid only to go surf the porn and give a handjob or some such shit. Good song.

i spend less than $200 on gifts. That's why I'm so well-loved by friends and family.
