Eating lunch in the uni canteen with a guy from my class who has a mild case of Tourette Syndrome. He mostly have small tics and rarely burst out saying weird shit.

So there we are minding our own business in the crowded canteen when this middle eastern guy with a big ass beard comes up to our table and ask if he can sit with us. Class mate starts getting face tics and bursts out "Oh oh! Terrorist!"

So, she wanted to prove it was really her, so starts a video chat via Skype, and it is the same girl in the picture... with the same boobs..

Either I turned down the body of the year, or he has some pre-corded shit fed to Skype.

So just ask her/him to do something random like touch her/his nose or write something down on a piece of paper and hold it up...

Wish I lived in the right city at the right time for amazing music movements, be it Blues in Chicago, Grunge in Seattle. Seems to be nothing now when they look back, revivals of old or major movements ran by economics.

But that being said, music movements came from usually a depressing reason and being an outlet from that life, but lead to very exciting things. Does this mean we're happier now, or are we just content with what we have? I'd say the latter.. Society is hurt.

Has there been a music movement to come out of a single city since the early 90s? I can't think of one.

Basement Hardcore I'd guess, Refused etc, but yes that's early 90s but still sort of survives today, but its a hollow movement with no major support, it doesn't stand for anything apart from the straight edge movement which is tiny and also pointless.

It would make an extremely interesting study, I'd blame globalisation tbh, the Internet has made music easier to spread, but that's not necessarily good, because it makes people create music which is commercially successful rather than music that has a meaning and a point to exist. This is why dubstep doesn't count, I know you mean the less popular non Skrillex dubstep, (my brother actually makes dubstep music too) but to me if just seems like another hollow movement since there's so real similarities between the people who listen to it, apart from, perhaps, fuck the police attitude.

There has to be a underlying reason such as race, social class, or state of the economy for music movements but when that music is diluted by others it just becomes commercialised.

It's clear to see this because when you hear of the old movements in Grunge and Blues, you'd see bands like Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Soundgarden playing on the same nights on the same street for barely anything and they were still pretty huge bands then, same applies for Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf amongst others in Chicago.

I think the globalisation thing definitely plays a major part. Instant spread of music across the internet means its much less likely to be confined to one area, people will pick up on a new style ofmusic and merge it into what they are doing. It's all gone a bit homogeneous.

Valid for about 40% of Earth's populace, yes.
