Like a sadder, even more depressing version of America’s next top model, social media still remains the domain of vacuous “self expression”. The latest trend in online drivel is choosing which political or social issue compliments your current accessorised look and mood emoji.

If I drink a Starbucks Coffee and eat a Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream at the same time am I Pro-Zionist or Pro-Palestine?

Unless you pick up and AK-47 or a Rocket Launcher you are a mindless consumer. A consumer in a declining empire where in 10 years you will be able to afford neither…

Celebrities in strong positions of wealth and influence guilt and shame the poor into donating their only tenner on the latest fashionable cause, while musicians wear international flags for countries they can’t point to on a map in a desperate desire for adoration.

When did we get tired of the experts and favour the famous?

Why has the Film Actors Guild in Team America become a real thing?

Why are celebrity climate ‘activists’ flying private jets across the world?

Why do rich celebrities send a link asking the economically challenged to donate when they could fulfil it

Because they’re Armchair Activists and nothing can change until we stop supplying the furniture.

“The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race”. Although this is a statement made by a man who enjoyed high stakes pass the parcel in his spare time, 30 years on and these words have aged like a fine wine.

Is this truly our reality? A mass epidemic of short attention spans, desperate demands for instant gratification and a systemic phobia of offline interaction, all documented and fuelled by our collective online narcissism repository.

Only Modern Society could have conceived a TV show called Gogglebox. Why would someone want a pop cultural zeitgeist beamed to their brain weekly with commentary provided by the latest ‘discovered’ incarnation of the Royale family.

Equally… Only Modern Society could have conceived a band like us. Finally, something we can all agree on as one big happy dystopian family.

Those that do not learn their history are doomed to repeat it…

Black face shouldn’t happen again but censor its existence and one of Harry Style’s grandchildren will “invent” it in 2040.

Whether it’s a film that documents a darker time in our society’s history or music that uses misogynistic language, we cannot move forward without understanding what we are moving away from.

If in the meantime it’s existence is upsetting you can always watch something that’s been recently released instead, however… In 30 years time what you’re watching now will be viewed as inappropriate to sentient androids.

They will likely see Apple products in films as unrealistic beauty standards, I Robot as a poor attempt to tackle human/android relations and the Terminator franchise as an act of extreme robophobia.

Listen to this track and give yourself something to cry about : https://kycker.ffm.to/recreationaloutrage

Why excel when we can be stunning and brave!

Being the best you can be is no longer an aspiration in modern society. Fame was once seen as the excrement of success, now is it has become the single object of desire. Everyone can have their 15 minutes of fame if they act like farmyard animals on camera long enough to be acknowledged by some former reality show idiot.

Before you know it the fabric of society will crumble and descend into a far more moronic dystopia than Huxley could have ever conceived.

Once the last battery dies and there is no electricity left to recharge it...only then will people look up from their black mirrors and realise... the human species can't sustain itself on a catalogue of social media influencers flashing their wobbly bits for the adoration of their lecherous relatives.

Why don't you excel and listen to this track...

Tis the season to cash in. What better way to sell the illusion of warmth and comfort to the masses than rebranding one of our songs by throwing some sleigh bells on it…

It’s Christmas time… show love for your lord and saviour by chain sawing a forest, fuelling a turkey genocide and committing a legion of plastic toys to landfill. If Jesus came back and saw what we did to celebrate his birthday, he would likely team up with his old testament dad and get biblical on us.

Don’t worry though, that reality TV personality will be turning on the lights soon and the John Lewis advert will be coming on.

Cheer yourselves up by listening to the track below…

First world problems are growing at an exponential rate… but guess what? No one cares!

Most of the west haven’t experienced the horrors of war and most of us are sat in a house with central heating and running water.

This is just a reminder to ourselves that no matter what we’re going through there’s always something worse happening somewhere else.

The only control we have is how we react to what life throws at us. Crying about the trivial will not cancel out the reality that we will all die and all of our choices good or bad, will be forgotten with the decay of time. So try not to take life too seriously…

The stench of entitlement is a scent known to many people living outside of England’s capital.

This song is dedicated to when a little rich boy came up North to let everyone know how important he was.

After prancing about like someone having their 4th Hen do, the staff informed him sternly that he was making a scene.

Unaware of the fact he was surrounded by plenty of diversity he responded by shouting that they were being racist towards him.

Well now it’s in a song and it can live on forever.

Song description

Would you kick your grandad out on the street for his right wing views on immigration? It's funny how bad the division has got in this country. A long time ago in a UK far away people used to debate and even agree to disagree.

Generations are a bit like software. Society programs a set of citizens to operate optimally for what it aspires to be at that time so of course we are never going to agree. Whatever was right in 1939 isn't right now and what is right now certainly won't be right in 20 years time. We are more like robots then we think...

One day gen Z will be seen by Gen 2044 as right wing monsters and millennials will be seen by the next species that follows as a hyper sentient alien race that worshipped cats.

This song is a call for everyone to get over themselves before we have some emoji driven civil war with the gore setting on.
