Ellis calls us "generation wuss" - I prefer "generation mediocrity". When art can be "okay" - as long as you like it. Things don't have to be the best, the artist doesn't have to be a genius - we tolerate and adore mediocrity, as long as someone is willing to pay for it.
Why does it make it better? Because fuck! FUCK I want my music to be perfect, to be absolute genius - to be the best thing mankind has ever produced and I don't care about your populist and relativist arguments FUCK I piss on your face I shit in your mouth I rape everything you like you fucking mediocre people why the fuck don't you kill yourselves you're boring and everything you like is shit I'm fucking better oh god why is mankind so average, so lame why don't you just die already if you're going to be so boring. You don,t even have the prentension of amusing me with your mediocrity because I see it almost everywhere outside of a few people I know oh jesus why
