Dawn of the Dead

In the early 70's the youth of America and the UK created Woodstock to stick 2 fingers up to the way the world was being run. Today it is just as bad but there wont be another Woodstock because our youth cannot be bothered and market forces wont let them. There is a song that was played about the vietnam war. All I've done is changed the words Vietnam to Afghanistan. Since the 70's the song has only slighty change a ndthe state of the world is no different in terms of conflict. What has changed is the face and attitude of our youth. Punk was the last great 2 finger salute to the establishment. After that the music was about just dancing and getting drunk. Market forces and consumerism have turned our youth into selfish dis-respectful apathetic self obsessed zombies who crave celebrity above anything else. George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead 1972 finale says it all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlFPqwdzOak&feature=related. Gangs of teenagers hanging around our Shopping Centres and town centres doing nowt apart from cussing and playing top trumps with their gadgets. There will never be another Woodstock our youth are zombied out on consumerism. George A Romero saw it coming.
