The Dark Ages

A few weeks ago, I read in a magazine an article that called my atention right away, not only because of it's title "The Dark Ages"; what I was reading started to seem pretty familiar with my social surroundings so I continued...
The article was talking about how depressed teenagers has become a "fashion" in today's world, it has become a life style, now it's more easy to find some who has "issues" and stuff and you can see almost everybody complaining about their own problems and how everyone wants to be listened, and that's why there's no body to listen!
Now days everyone goes to the therapist, and you can hear everywhere: "my therapist said..." and it's a concern in therapist that people who's actually has problems is not attendig them...
There's so many people who started to dress up like emo guys just to fit in, and i think that extremely ridiculous, you are just who you are... it's a shame that people change for those kind of reasons.
The emo community has been a quite sensation in tv shows and stuff, just like degrassi, movies and even artist that involve that fact of using drugs and mutilating themselves and that's even more ridiculous!...
I think life is too short to be wasted...

NY 77

Recently, I saw on VH1 a tv special about New York in 1977, where people considered New York a very dangerous place to live, because there was "to much" freedom for sex, drugs and rock n' roll.
There was a lot of night clubs, very famous until now, although te are no longer exist, but they leave their mark on history.
For me, the most interesting night club was the CBGB's because there's where some very famous bands played there, but at that time they weren't famous at all, like The Ramones & Blondie (those are the ones that I remember) it would be really cool to have had the opportunity to listen to those bands in their very begining.
And we can't forget about Studio 54, that is the one that everybody knows, but, I don't like that much that club, because for the things that I've heard it was pretty nasty and there was "concentrated" what was all ready on NY streets.
Also when the hip hop started on the ghetto and how they played the music, at highest they could. I think that's pretty cool too.
I 'd like at the ending of the show, how the commentarist said that now NY is a secure place to live for the families and stuff, but they are not agree with that (in a certain way i'm either) because night life of New York was what makes interesting that city, it was like art... and now it has lose it, well of course that it has night clubs, and people crazy around but it is not like it was on 77, so i think it loses his is appeal; and has everybody knows it is now a commercial city.
Anyway, I think it would be cool to visit New York and walk around the streets that once were the place to be... ;)
