Narcissism? Hostility? Really?


A Generation’s Vanity, Heard Through Lyrics

The sarcasm in the title doesn't come through well at all on the intertubes. Always a problem...

The hostility surprises me a LITTLE bit, but the narcissism makes perfect sense. Who is more concerned about themselves than people going through the teen and adolescent years? Still, more and more, music isn't about any kind of 'us', but all about 'me'. (The image they use with the article is really great. 'I heart I'...)
