The Philosophy of Edith Pop from A-z:
QUICK THOUGHTS IN A VELVET MOOD:
I think postmodern is where it's at
I think Glitter might be the prettiest plastic of all.
I think I'd like to be plastic.
I think the revolution could be an everyday sort of thing.
I think neon make-up makes me look like a sick alien.
I think my friends are weird and beautiful.
I think driving late at night is the best.
I think your eyes look like snowy forests.
I think high school drop-outs retain a certain level of coolness no matter what.
I think I could survive on my own.
I think I'd rather have you instead.
I think having a career is unimportant.
I think money is best if you get rid of it really fast.
I think being deep doesn't mean being depressed all the time.
I think chaos is necessary.
I think learning about music is treating it too mathematically.
I think Punk is dead.
I think Punk is alive.
I think it's better if you live art,rather than just making it.
I think being an artist is directly connected with how cool your outward appearance looks.
I think restaurants should be open later.
I think Capitalism is evil.
I think establishment is evil.
I think my religion might be the study of cracks in pavement.
I think my best friend.
I think alot of the people I used to care about,really don't matter anymore.
I think people put too much importance on xanga entries.
I think some people are machienes.
I think the study of beauty may be the most relevant.
EDITH POP ON: MUSIC
I believe that music has gone considerably downhill. The government and corporations (which are basically the same thing), have completely cashed in on the "Introspective folk rocker mode" and continually make people think that just because a songs message is sad and sung by a 20-something boy with shaggy hair. None of the current popular artists can hold my attention because they aren't odd to look at. There isn't a strong sense of novelty.
I think the only subversive form of music is electronica and techno. It truly is the music of the computer generation. Older generations can never understand how a series of electronic beats reflect music, but we (continually force fed technology), see the complete correalation between machiene and sex ,love,friendship,depression,fury,anger,dreams and despair. Even within our generation techno is hardly respected and embraced by subcultures.
The modern world is old. We have become the machienes.
EDITH POP ON WORK:
Never work. Work is never necessary. You should never go to work if you have anything better to do,or if someone asks you not to. Work should be an experiment. You should try to avoid feeling loyalty to your specific product.It's important to joke with the customers and you can always get on the girls good side if you compliment their jewelry. You make more tips when you put the "college fund" sign towards the front. You should never work anywhere that doesn't give you free stuff or discounts.
