Pluck, Pluck, it’s Pizzacato

Are you prepared for the invasion? Heeeerrrrreeee’s Pizzacato 5!

I think this video epitomizes the modern era, what is post-postmodern. Represented by a world filled with blogging as literacy, images detached from meaning-though implied, high volume of repetition with a more analytical precision that separates repetition from change, mastery of the hunt-finding information and ignoring what is unnecessary, humanity is aware of the absurd and aware of the cool. We are influenced by the wild day-dreams Jean-Luc Godard and the incantations of techno music. We have decided that we want fragments-a lot of them-to the point of sensory overload. We also want these fragments now or in the near future. Defeatists call this movement a form of placidity; a means of lulling a generation to sleep with posturing, divisive argument that only distracts people from the similarities of polarized opinions (i.e. the one party American system), masturbatory self-promotion, drugs, and electronic vices. I say it is just a phase. We’ll grow out of it.
