Culture Clash

So I am one that supports other culutres...I love other cultures. But what is getting under my skin lately is the newest culutre that is being stripped of its uniqueness and begining to be Americanized. Australian lingo is now the hottest thing to quote out there i.e. cheers, good on ya, no worries etc. I love australians, I think that accent is the most attractive and hot thing ever...but you cannot go anywhere without some one trying to use this lingo as if it were an everyday thing for them...LEAVE IT IN AUSTRALIA!!

What I find quite ironic is that the 2 cultures that influence all the popular culture are what I believe to be the african american and australian...African americans have been viewed by all racist white american bastards to be synonimus with crime and australia was founded when the criminals were sent there

thus the lesson is to be cool you have to come from a "criminal" background...or just steal someone identity

I kind of equate this to really good bands becoming popular like when I first the MCR cd and loved them and now one of my good friends who has bad taste in music (for example her top 3 are brittany spears, nickelback and the simpson sisters) is sitting in my car and is like "wow you listen to MCR I totaly love the only 2 songs of thiers I have heard that get played on much music, they are like so hardcore and I just want to scream out thier lyrics when I listen to them though I don't really listen to the lryical content I just think its a ctahcy sound". Sooon she will be comming up and burning me cds that have a range from creed to brand new to george straight and tell me its a greatest songs ever cd...I really hope brand new doesn't get huge...though they totaly deserve it cause they rock but you know when "your"bands becoem popular and airheads start liking them its alot harder to admit they are "your"bands!

Anyway thats the rant for the day...like rant city eh!

tomorrows special: something less rant like and more about how I view life!
