Jillian and Joshua talk about Girl Talk

  • Jillian: Hes garbage
  • he reminds me of douches in neon shirts
  • Joshua: hahahaha
  • Jillian: haha
  • its true
  • its like oh remember when? Yeah that song killed
  • awesome!
  • fuck off!
  • just listen to the damn song if you love it so much
  • and make your own mix fools
  • its totally ADD
  • preying on our lack of attention span
  • and our love of pop culture referencing
  • its Robot Chicken put to music
  • and thus, the lowest of all art forms
  • quote me on that
  • Joshua: sweet
  • Jillian: BITCHEZ!
  • Joshua: AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  • Jillian: Its like people cream every time they recognize something from our pop past
  • thats why those shows are so popular
  • the VH1 programs
  • it instantly makes a person feel like they are part of something and simultaneously superior to those that dont get the reference
  • its all very self-validating
  • and believe me I am a part of it
  • but I think it really hinders culture from moving forward
  • its collective narcissism
  • we look back at a reflection that isnt even really us but we pretend it is
  • and no one knows the difference
  • Joshua: i agree with that completely
  • everything new is just something old repackaged
  • Jillian: but instead of giving the past credit
  • we pat ourselves on the back instead
  • its disgusting
