I need this!!!!

I've just been encouraged to throw a though on one of the few things I really take to heart.
The decay of humanity. Uhhh sounds gloom. Yes, I'll be nagging a bit. Deal with it, contemplate over it. Or confirm my disgust in the human race.

I'd still call my self relatively new to the G+ thing, combined with blogger, and all the other great interacting tools, so I'm still learning the ropes.
One thing I take from the great vast Internet, or world in general is eavesdropping. I've always been the guy in the corner listing in on other peoples huge life issues. Over the years the nature of the problems have changed, and then again they haven't. But my ability to shut up has improved. Life is often less complicated when you shut up.

Blogging is to me actually a 2 way process. I post therefore I am. I follow and read other, because I take interest and care. My blogs are windows to my soul, purple some would say, others call it insane or just plain weird. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm essentially not "normal" and I don't really want to be "normal". It's too dull :)

okay, this a long self explanatory introduction to the thing I'm actually writing about: The shallowness of our age.

I'm a nerd, and I'm proud of it. (there's a difference between nerds and geeks).
A lot of my interests are geekish in nature, but well most often the geek culture stuff have more content to provide. More in depth materials. And that's from what I understand the nature of Nerds, they dig out and relish every miniature detail to something utterly irrelevant.

I've been following a few blogs of teenager, and been looking for interesting blogs to read. Mostly I see 500 Teenager blogs doing an "instagram/twitter" show, some for years, but most for less. If I'm lucky I find one with talent, worth my time.
The trend is easy to spot, and once you start spotting it. Things starts to look rather grim.

I first noticed it with movies...
Remember I'm old age Nerd terms, just keep that in mind.
Age old mainstream discussion, which is better and why:
New hope VS. Return of the Jedi

Personally I don't have a favorite, but I'm always open to discuss the qualities of each.
Later this happened:
Star wars Wiki page (notice diagram in bottom)
With Phantom menace releasing everybody suddenly was a Star Wars expert. Yet today few consider episode 1-3 real Star Wars.
Again I won't take sides here, but I understand where they are coming from. Star Wars was an epic movie in it's own, and the history and epicness of it yielded loads of background materials. Even before the Menace there was role playing games, short stories and books. Don't start me on all the merchandise, course that's part of the problem.
With Menace everything was redesigned, and republished. Those with love for the culture embraced it at first. Until they started realising, there actually wasn't coming new content, just reiterations of old content, and people gulped it up.
Did you know "The force" is religion in Australia. Some people actually have taken the culture to a point where they base a religion on the mindset of a fiction writer.

Of course he's rather rich now...

Now, what does this have to do with teenagers today?
I can't have my eyes open 1 hour without spotting some form of "message" that I need this exact product. I rarely remember the product. But from time to time I acquire the product, use it and judge it. I rarely find something that works as advertised, and thusly I mostly acquire stuff that isn't advertised.
I don't press the like button unless I mean it. etc etc.
And yes i have a facebook account I haven't quite seen for a long time. Frankly since Timeline was introduced, yet timeline was not what drowe me away, it just made the final drop.

I find my blogs via Facebook, or tried to. There was quite a few groups of promising bloggers. But the way they get readers are the default modern day marketing trick tactics: You spam.
Most of my active life consists of spam. It's very visual, and people react to it. But it's still spam.
People knowing my eating habits, would know that I wouldn't mind eating spam (locally known as Jakabov), I'll even prepare and cook it, but if hungry enough. I'll just eat it.
People often find it disgusting. But really, is it much different from what they do with their minds?

With the current generation I notice an overflow where the state of mind is that you are what other people tell you that you are. This holds true most of the time, when people are honest.

Trouble gets worse when your environment gets spammed with material content.
Getting back to movies, I've seen few movies worth watching the past decade, I know I can count all of them with 2 hands. But I've seen loads of worthless flashy junk.
It's blink, it's what the masses want. Did you watch Men In Black, great movie ;) Remember the scene, where Will need to choose to join up or walk away, red pill/blue pill? Watch the movie again and take a minute and think about it.


okay, as usual I seem to have wondered off in some 10 million directions without getting any closer to putting my initial thoughts into writings, and with my loathing of backspace/delete, we now have quite  a text, no one will read to the end.

Bottom line is as always, it's not the clothing you wear, it's how you wear it. And not everyone are ready to meet you, it takes time. Assuming YOU are still yourself by then. Just be yourself and own your choices. They are always yours to make.

I should twitter more :)
If you actually read this to the end, leave a comment. Could be fun to see if anyone actually gets to the end, and more so, who......
Ohh don't worry, I'll iterate some other day when i have more focused mindset.
Ha ha, and looking at the title I see the anchor is missing, here you go, and understand I best be getting this sorted:
