Man... I started this Silicon Zine because I had a lot to say, and I was
|
||
|
|
also kinda bored. I got a LOT of great support, but then it died out for the
|
||
|
|
past few weeks you might have noticed. I have been REALLY busy, and seeing
|
||
|
|
how I never got any members (I actually did, but haven't called them in a
|
||
|
|
while) nobody could really keep this up while I was busy... then I was
|
||
|
|
talking to The Dark Prophet (of 6PH) and realized I had dropped my interests
|
||
|
|
and status in the scene. So I'm here to give you a quick update, and just
|
||
|
|
tell you to hang in there. I am actually making most of this off of my head
|
||
|
|
but I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned in here somewhere... ;)

THE EVILS OF CORPORATIONS
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have an issue in mind, and learned some stuff that you might be
|
||
|
|
enlightened with. I was discussing Anarchy and Rebellion and stuff with one
|
||
|
|
of my friends (non-modemer). He's a real active Anti-Corporation Punk Rocker
|
||
|
|
and really fucking cool too (how many 20 year olds do you know have nose
|
||
|
|
rings still?). I learned alot about how everything in society fits in. He
|
||
|
|
only listens to 7 inches and stuff (those are records) and sold all of his
|
||
|
|
CD's. I'll start with the basics of corporations. Corporations are all
|
||
|
|
those big companies that run the US (Sears, Banks, Mattel, MTV) and basically
|
||
|
|
are those rich old white guys (no I'm not black). It starts with advertising
|
||
|
|
their products, and TV and stuff. Everybody says "I HATE COMMERICALS" when
|
||
|
|
they watch the tube... but they are very important. The TV shows you see are
|
||
|
|
able to go on the air because the corporations fund the shows, and in turn
|
||
|
|
they get to advertise their product in between the intermissions. It works
|
||
|
|
the same way on the airwaves too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So it's like this:
|
||
|
|
People watch the show - The product gets advertised - People buy the product
|
||
|
|
- The corporations get more money - Corporations advertise more
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And then you're back to square one. What's so bad about that you might ask?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well nothing, yet. But then you have a problem, if the corporations draw
|
||
|
|
back and stop advertising, then the funds for the shows drop, the TV company
|
||
|
|
loses viewers, and eventually the TV company dies. So the big guys running
|
||
|
|
the corporations have a great deal of power over the media, and what you guys
|
||
|
|
and girls see. Although it may not change the way YOU look at things, it
|
||
|
|
DOES change the way other people look at things. So not only does TV
|
||
|
|
advertise products, but it advertises beliefs. The corporations can control
|
||
|
|
TV shows in this way also. If they want to or don't want to see something
|
||
|
|
on a show, then it will change to their desires.
|
||

CORPORATE ROCK SUCKS!
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One thing that many people don't really understand is what corporate
|
||
|
|
rock really is, and what the difference is. Corporate rock is simply the
|
||
|
|
bands which are owned by Major labels like Epic or Warner, MGM and all the
|
||
|
|
really big ones. So what's the difference? The difference is that the
|
||
|
|
bands under these labels are the dolls of the corporations which is a puppet
|
||
|
|
master above them... and the strings are cash. Makes me kinda sick to think
|
||
|
|
that all these teen idols, and role models are really in it for the money
|
||
|
|
and you can't tell if they are being sincere. That makes MTV pretty horrible
|
||
|
|
because it is ALL corporate rock. I think you know without saying that rock
|
||
|
|
stars are BIG INFLUENCES on the youth of America, so if Eddie Vedder wore
|
||
|
|
a hairstyle, then a lot of people would wear that hairstyle and crap like
|
||
|
|
that. Crap... I used to like Pearl Jam, but then the Record Label must have
|
||
|
|
made them release more albums that was on their contract [now they suck]...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well... this is all I'm gonna bring to you now... I'm just informing you on
|
||
|
|
how some things work. I don't expect anybody to stop watching TV and buying
|
||
|
|
music and stuff, but just informing you on some facts on how Broadcasting
|
||
|
|
works... Later...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=============================================================================
|
||
|
|
Oh.. just thought I'd tag this on here before I release this...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I need some people to Distribute DoSE, write articles, code stuff... whatever
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you got some skill I could use, then please write back, and send me your
|
||
|
|
qualifications, and skills, and stuff... the better it is, the better your
|
||
|
|
chances...
