as soon as something has a name it can be visibly exploited and catered to and for by marketing gurus. call it a tween or what have you. i was told seven years ago that the entire music industry runs off the tastes of 12 year old girls from wisconsin. they are the most dedicated dollar with a disposable income. what ever they like, will sell millions. and so capitalism swings into full gear. if you can make money on something, do it. the more you can make the more likely people will be to do it. it overrides good sense and we have no culture in america other than 'popular culture' which is capitalism which is a signal override of good sense scruples etc.

the trick is in the value system. which could be tied to one's environment. capitalism values the dollar above all else and as a justification to any means neccesary to attain it. and it's a self fullfilling prophecy. as long as people subscribe to that belief system.

what you are talking about is the conspicuous consumption habits of western imperial 'pree teens'. adolescence is an invented institution, like the tween and whatever else they wany to come up with. you could give anything a name to exploit it like jazz. as soon as it was called 'jazz' it could be exploited. i'm a 'morning', cater and market to 'mornings'. i'm a 6th minute, cater and market to '6th minutes'. i'm a non ovo pescatarian, cater and market to non ovo pescatarians etc.

i have a lot to say about this at the moment because it's entered my frame of thought. i saw some cover story about the 'adults that never grow up' and their spending habits. i switched off the name for this temporary blossoming of culture in a cultureless culture to protect my moment from psychobable. so i can't remember what it's called for now. but it seemed another symptom in a system that loves to self medicate by describing it's spending habits and doing some 'retail therapy'.

'babylon eats it's children.'

and you can't run because the beast is hungry. vampires suck you dry. fool you into believing that you can't create your own energy and self sustain your own life force, or share amicably and altruistically. no now you have to steal your soul. you have to steal your vibe off of the others. it's a cycle. break the cycle by creating your own vibe. strengthen that vibe. resonate and harmonize with your neighbors and peers. imbue it with a strength that cannot be televised. they didn't televise the revolution. but they sure as hell played some shit.

revolution means "".

who knows how it's fought any more. get your guns. get your culture. get your knowledge. get your music. get your mind body and soul and change this shit daily. because yes, it is eating you alive. and it's after your very soul.

'don't let the school you..." said mr marley. what the hell is a tween but a cross hairs that politics can fixate on.

how long is it before kiddie sex is ok? it's profitable. the romans did it. the europeans were doing it all over thailand! it's messed up. and the soulless make the laws and change the laws whenever they feel like it...

"babylon system is the vampire..."
