Cracks in modernity ☕
Like an lake during wintertime we can see the contemporary cultural landscape. Seemingly robust, solid ice. But in some places there is cracks. Cracks that during the spring will expand and eventually help to break the ice.
Yeah, you get the metafor.
We all know them. The people that says that nothing good ever happends. But just look this week.
The obvious and logical take on Israel goes out to millions via Piers Morgan and explicity Dan Bilzerian Millions of whites got a lightning of good ol antisemitism in a way that, unfortunately, our side could not have done. It was necessary that a instagram poker player dropped the sober view on things related to the chosen ones.
That's aside.
We have written about the wests last big metalband Linkin Park before. And its time to continue the story with them. As stated before, LP is on a new path but still standing on the foundation that Chester Bennington helped build for the band. And they continue on that path.
But i suspect that there is something more to this. The critique of the consumerist modern world is obvious in the new/old LP. In their song
"Over each other" Not does only Emily shows the world that she actually can sing in a variety of stiles. The song is also filled with a cry and tiredness of the political game in the modern world. Dropped in the middle of the latest election cycle. You don't need to be a longhaired musicfaggot to understand what LP means with their lyrics here. The critique of democracy and of it's circus is poetic in such a way that 14 year old girls can have their breakup song and the same time a breakup with todays society. This is proof of Mike Shinodas greatness as a songwriter.
Many songs on the new album if not all is a form of break up with the insanity of the modern world. Mike and the rest of LP skillfully produce poetry for people that feels lost in a world that don't belong to us. It's not just cries about the lost world but Linkin Parks "Zero" also push the button for vengeance against those that have created this shithole of a world.
"Reaching for satellites, but all along
Under your breath, you're sayin' that I was wrong
The skyscrapers we created are comin' down
Free fallin' to the pavement
'Cause you won't let me breathe
And I'm not ever right
All we are is talkin'
Over each other (over each other)
There's nothin' underneath
It's all a waste of time
All we are is talkin' "Not saying that Dan Bilzerian is a white nationalist and Linkin Park is an white/asian radical traditionalists. They are artist and create art of the world the live in. They see and feel. They express the cracks in modernity in ways they can. And they tell us what they see. Bilzerians interview and Linkin Parks new album should be seen in the greater context of a big cultural shift is coming.
Highrollers in their respective field see the cracks in the ice.
Even if it sometimes seems solid and thick. The cracks are there and help us unconsciously reach the spring. To surf this Kali Yuga.
An aryan spring is waiting. But first we need to surf the waves.
