International global movement. Yeah, thats a good name for an international drug cartel supplying ravers with extacy tablets. And lets face it, the only way you can listen to the digitally generated broad spectrum noise pollution is be pilled off you head.
Experiencing culture being pivotal. Experiencing the consumption of illegal drugs, which are largely produced, distributed, and sold by ruthless organised crime cartels now accounts for "culture" does it? I wonder when the Louvre or the Guggenheim will start selling cocaine, extacy, magic mushrooms, GBH, marijuana, and heroin in its gift shop, and piping DOOF DOOF in galleries!
And the DOOFERs are better educated! That's why they swallow chemical cocktails of the proceeds of underground chemical labs run by criminals. Just forget that most of the grunge they are taking has never been tested for any long term side effect, and in some cases were stopped because they were found not to be safe for human consumption.
Yeah, if they are an exmple of being better educated and culturally enlightened I'm going to get a lobomomy and start burning books!
Then again, why not quit my job, go on the dole, abandon any concept of personal hygiene or hair care, wear dirty rags, evade public transport fares, begin an illicit drug habit with long term effects on mental health, and hitch lifts to remote locations so I can drop some acid, scoff some ecckies, and dance like a drugged out dervish for 24 hours, while listening to trance music. And when I come down, or are released from casualty from overdosing on crap, I'll go and do it all again!
