the art form as a concept
as in if left to the devices of those who don't wish to push the boundaries, then it becomes stagnant as a form of expression, which in essence, is exactly what art is -- thus dying, the culture dead, there is none. Culture is flowing, it changes, if it no longer moves in any direction, there is no culture, no life, just moments in time.
Its not a question of if the boybands have won -- they did, it's more of trying to find a point from which to move on. If it were up to them, they would have never gone out of style, but they did.
It's a plea for the need of a counter-culture to in turn form mass culture as a whole. blahblahblah -- why were you arguing this in the first place?

the very idea of a counter-culture is reactionary. it inevitably becomes just another niche market within the dominant (or if you're a Gramscian or some bullshit postmodernist the "hegemonic") culture.
thus becoming mass culture and again facilitating the need for counter-culture. assumption is inevitable, influxes in culture run themselves out eventually, historically speaking.
since culture qua a set of traditions organically changing over time no longer exists
as in world culture is currently stagnant?what?really?

actually, "counterculture" only emerged as a mass phenomenon within a society that had achieved a very advanced level of material sophistication and extremely powerful technologies of communication.
or in any organized group of humans ever where some didn't agree with the others? Even in a musical sense the hippies were not the end all of counter culture, maybe if you were someone who was alive and part of the movement its now an end off for you, but I think its pretty safe to say culture is still fluctuating, growing. Yes, the psychedelic, peace/love movement has since been popularized, but there are plenty of counter-cultures floating about.
also I'd like to point out I agree with you that counter-culture was formed by virtue of the mass culture -- at least I think that's what you've been getting at and I've been agreeing but I'm not sure if you're understanding that.
what we today call "culture" is in fact "culture industry." it's not a question of change. it's a question the character of its change, of the total rationalization and administration of that change to the extent that even seeming ruptures and fragmentations that arise out of it are seamlessly reintegrated back into its whole
or in other words -- a fluctuating, healthy world culture
You speak more of mass media maybe? being a draw back of our current culture? which is a fruitless argument in the long wrong, but I'd see your point then.
but otherwise kthxbai.

also if you're insinuating to that asinine argument of there is no post-modern or art is dead then, well -- no.
debate was fun, good show.

oh no nonsychronicity has an apathetic and cynical outlook on life and his place in the world :'(
you of course are just assuming all of this, and once again lumping one specific movement in culture as the counter culture. but ya sure.
I SEE YOUR POINT OK?

it's not even cynicism, it's just the ruthless criticism of everything existing
You're not a cynic, you're a realist, right?
