Why don't we tell the media what we really want? Why don't we show them that we aren't out to slit our wrists, or bust a cap in every bloody person who crosses us? Throw away the plastic facade -- get into the true flavor of things. Learn how to live, instead of how to die and make die. It's not impossible, but I don't know if we've all been pounded too hard with the supposed teen images to even realize it anymore. As for me, I think that if we cut down on actually buying this audible garbage, we might start to see a decline in it. But only if we substitute some more positive (but still enjoyable) music in its place. Then, just maybe, we can break the cycle and make a graceful exit. We can then slowly improve society, instead of degrading it as we do.
